Read/Write Web Filter: ETech special

ETech 2006 has started and it’s the one conference this year which people
kept telling me I should be at (but oddly, no one offered to pay my airfare…). Oh well, luckily I have my finger on the
blogosphere pulse and so I’m going to post updates of my virtual findings over
the next few days.


The
welcome
: (“Attenuation is the next aggregator,” predicted Dornfest. “I think there are some great businesses to be built on giving you less.”
— this precisely fits my
main techie theme
this year: 2006 is The Year of the Filter…)

(Dave Winer has the details and see also Ozzie’s blog post entitled Wiring
the Web
)

New APIs from Yahoo and browser-based authentication
(Dan Farber has the details: “At Etech, Yahoo is announcing APIs that hook into Yahoo Photos, Calendar, MyWeb and Shopping, as well as browser-based authentication.”)

From Coder to Co-Founder
(Marc Hedlund tells techies how to become entrepreneurs — “Momentum builds on itself — make a prototype. Build something. Get things rolling.”)

Musical Myware (co-founder of last.fm
talks about musical myware and ‘attention’)

Updates

Session transcriptions from O’Reilly Radar (nice work Nat)

Witty photo captions by Valleywag (see also Nick’s take on Tim O’Reilly’s “fuck-you-up mustache”…)

New Windows Live releases (some of the things I saw at Search Champs are being released now — also note the news of Onfolio acquisition)

Phil Windley has a lot of excellent ETech write-ups (the microformats one is of great interest to me currently)

Kareem Mayan also has a couple of great ETech posts (the Attention: The *Real* Aphrodisiac session and one on Second Life)

Ambient Findability (“Morville wonders in a world of more and more and bigger and bigger haystacks, how are we going to make our needles bigger?” — okaaaay…)
