NewsGator kauft NetNewsWire
Beginn einer neue Kategorie namens news für irgendwie relevante Hin- und Herschiebungen zwischen den Unternehmen, die im Web 2.0 Umfeld tätig sind.
Und da ja RSS der Kleister ist, der so vieles zusammenhält, ist die Übernahme von NetNewsWire durch NewsGator doch interessant:
NewsGator Technologies now produces software in C#, ASP.net, Delphi, and Objective C. Lack of a unified codebase and the company’s reliance on one engineer per product seems to be a weak point even with their much-touted APIs.
NewsGator is now able to cover the entire feed aggregation landscape with its suite of products. NewsGator for Outlook covers the mail client integration, FeedDemon is the stand-alone option on the Windows desktop, NetNewsWire is the stand-alone client on the Macintosh, and NewsGator Online is the online option tying all of the properties together. NewsGator is still missing a recommended Linux or open source feed aggregation product or even a product with source committed by the NewsGator team.

Und das Web 2.0 ist auch …
Kann man komplementär zum vorletzten Eintrag lesen: John Hagel’s What is Web 2.0?.
Journalismus 2.0
Justin Smith darüber, wie sich Printmedien zukünftig verhalten sollten (schon etwas älter).
In the old world, the local newspaper played the role of content producer (by employing a team of writers), organizer (by employing a team of editors), and aggregator (by subscribing to wire services and selecting articles to reprint). As a consumer you essentially subscribed to a team of writers and editors who created and packaged a product for you daily.
However, in the “2.0” world, the role of editor is becoming much less clear: tagging and search engines have dramatically decreased the cost of organizing and aggregating content, and as a consumer I am empowered subscribe to keyword feeds that bring me the content I want automatically from a pool of millions of authors.

Und das Web 2.0 ist …

Compact
Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an “architecture of participation,” and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.

Referenzmaterial
Immer wieder gute Einträge von Bert Webb, etwa auch: Keeping Important Reference Material Close at Hand (schon etwas älter).
To be truly effective one must have a system for this information so that it can be accessed at a moment’s notice:
– Thinking of your key areas of responsibility, list all information that you must use on a daily basis.
– Gather all the material listed above and place it in a file that is close to where you work; it should be within arm’s reach.
– Consider having copies of this file in strategic locations, especially if you work in various places (e.g., office, home, car).
– Consider placing the most important information in a location that is always with you.

OK, nur für Fans vom Taggen oder dem Web 2.0, dann aber wirklich hörenswert: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mess von O’Reilly’s ETech 2005 mit Joshua Schachter (del.icio.us), Stewart Butterfield (Flickr), Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia) und Clay Shirky (Hansdampf in allen Gassen.)

Es ist ein ganz neues Web
It’s A Whole New Web sagt Business Week in einem (eigentlich guten) Artikel zum Web 2.0.
This potent new do-it-yourself trend is shaking up a raft of industries, from software and telecommunications to media, marketing, and entertainment. As people individually and collectively program their own Web, they’re increasingly calling the shots. In the process, they’re challenging the way media organizations cover and distribute news and entertainment, the way advertisers target pitches at them, and the way tech companies design and sell their products and services. Most of all, they’re rapidly changing their minds about what they will pay for and how. That’s disrupting long-established business models, from newspaper subscriptions to television advertising.
Mapdelicious
Ruben R. Puentedura beschreibt einen (nicht allzu aufwendigen) Workflow, wie man aus seinen del.icio.us Bookmarks wunderliche Graphen/Mappen erzeugen kann: Mapping del.icio.us with Anthracite and OmniGraffle.
Voraussetzungen: OS X, OmniGraffle, Anthracite (gibts als Demo) und ein del.icio.us account.
(hier kann man sich von ihm auch ein MP3 holen, wo er versucht, del.icio.us in einem akademischen Setting zu erklären; witzig, weil es irgendwie keiner kapiert)

Getting Things Done: the Roadmap
Interessante Mitschrift zum Seminar Getting Things Done: the Roadmap auf dem O’Reilly Blog From the Belly of the Beasts [link tot; war: http://blogs.oreillynet.com/beasts/archives/2005/08/getting_things_1.html]. Auszüge:
- Teams always work better together in a crisis. The key is to figure out how to get high-performance behavior without the stress.
- Matrix of self-management: vertical axis is “Vision” – top is the visionary, bottom is the “don’t know what’s going on”. Horizontal axis is “Control” – at left is “out of control”, at right is “in complete control”. Quadrants: lower left: the Victim. Lower right: the Compulsive. Upper left: the Crazy-Maker (implementation is for schmucks!). Upper right: the Commander. Allen works with a lot of Crazy-Makers.
- If you decide you need to clean your garage, but you put it off for six years, there’s a part of your mind that thinks you should have been cleaning your garage 24/7 for six years. If you can park that on a list, it will get out of your “psychic RAM” – your brain can let go of it and more of its resources are available to work on other things.
- “As soon as you know how many agreements you’ve made, you’ll start making fewer!”
- There’s a real psychic “win” that comes from crossing things off a to-do list. Sometimes so much so that people will write down things they’ve already done just so they can check them off!
- “When in doubt, clean up your email.” (sometimes you just need to get active on something instead of wallowing)
- The higher level the view, the less complex your system needs to be. Your purpose/values level is probably just a text paragraph, but your daily emails and to-dos need more structure for tracking.
- Next action: has to be granular enough that the brain stops trying to think about it. You need to finish the thinking process.
- “How can I get my teenager on board with this?” “Tell them they’re not old enough for it.”
