Jeff Nolan's take on innovation, entrepreneurship, tech and stuff that interests me
Like every train wreck, you can see it coming but only at the point of impact does anyone really pay attention to it. But the more significant shift can’t be blamed on the strike. In the past television season, there has been a sharp increase in time-shifting. Some of the six million are still watching, [...]
If after 6 years we’re still defining it, time to move on… [From “Top Tech Bloggers Define Web 2.0? « socialTNT]
Dennis puts up a good post on the intersection of web 2.0 and the enterprise. O’Reilly actually talked about this in his keynote, that the enterprise is one of the 3 big themes he is focusing on, but I have to say that this segment will be a rude awakening for the 99.9% of companies [...]
So Web 2.0 Expo is wrapping up today and after spending all of Wednesday and Thursday there, I have a couple of thoughts. First of all, I have a love-hate with big conferences like this.

AWS is no doubt responding to competitive pressures, which indicates the market is working as it should, and this is a welcome development because anytime your costs drop you add dollars to [...]
And I thought it was just a slow weekend in Twitterville… interestingly, I was getting Twitter updates in Alert Thingy via FriendFeed, not sure why it worked there but not in other Twitter clients or their own web interface. Siegler’s comments about service status updates is really customer service 101 for companies like Twitter. I [...]
Just like Thwirl and Snitter totally changed the way I interact with Twitter and drove up my usage as a result, Alert Thingy is doing that for FriendFeed. As Dennis says, who btw I ripped off the title for this post from, the result is that I am evolving in my behaviors with social networks [...]
The worst thing that happened in these last couple of years is that damn versioning of what is a simply the broader continuum of the evolving web. Define web 2.0… just try it and you will see the futility. What is coming to a close is the notion that all online services need to be [...]
