Seth and the Gang
I spent a lazy Sunday editing and balancing the Gillmor Gang episode recorded Friday a week ago. Joining the Gang is Seth Goldstein, entrepreneur and co-founder of the AttentionTrust. Those of you who’ve asked for more detail will find it here. We’ve begun approving applications and issuing badges to those who subscribe to the principles of the Trust. This week we plan to enhance the site and begin work on tools for communications between the Trust and its members.
OSCON had a great feel, especially an incredible session on Mozilla’s future featuring Mike Shaver, Mozilla Foundation Technology strategist and a keynoter this week at Linuxworld. Most recently, he’s been working on calendaring and scheduling for Thunderbird. Oh, yeah. Tick, tick, tick Microsoft.
InfoRouter instant poll: Who do you think will join the AttentionTrust first, someone from Google or Microsoft? My money’s on Redmond.
Terrific work by Mary Hodder and Danah Boyd. BlogHer’s ripples expand.
BBC calls Peter Jennings a newsreader. Doc calls him the best network anchor who ever lived. I’m with Doc. I played Ibrahim Ferrer’s album, who also died today, in celebration of these two great men.
