That's the title of my latest post on ZDNet. I'm pointing to it here because Bloglines is for some reason not fetching the Web 2.0 Explorer feed, so the 56 people who've subscribed already in Bloglines (in just a couple of days - wow!) have not yet been notified of...
Deja vu, is there a glitch in the Web 2.0 Matrix? Phil Pearson has noticed it:"OK guys, this is going too far. Not ALL of the following are required for a web 2.0-style application/site:- Name that consists of a number and a word. (37signals did it for their company, and...
This week I've been noticing a lot of Web 2.0-style Office apps coming out. Here's a selection of some of them:AjaxOffice - "A complete office suite usable via your browser. Your documents are safely stored on a server..."Writely - "The Web Word Processor" (unfortunately the beta is full already). TechCrunch...
Last night while looking at the new Feedburner design (well done guys!), I noticed that my subscriber stats figure has suddenly jumped. My current count of RSS subscribers in Feedburner is 3744. The main reason is that Rojo has just been added to Feedburner's numbers - previously it was missing....
Interesting podcast conversation today between Steve Gillmor and Rafat Ali (of paidcontent.org). Steve labelled paidcontent.org "an emerging force in the new media" and this theme was explored during the podcast. My ears pricked up when Steve talked about blogs like Om Malik's, John Battelle's and Engadget becoming media properties in...
I can imagine the movie trailer voiceover: "In a world where Thin Clients rule, one man (and a very large software company) is fighting back..."This is a movie starring Robert Scoble, Microsoft's most famous blogger. It's about the war against Web-based apps and the script is being written by Robert...

A bit of admin - just so you know, I'm testing out a new type of RSS advertising with Feedburner. I'm testing it because it's pretty close to the type of RSS advertising I described in this post back in May.Speaking of advertising, Phil Ringnalda has noticed the O'Reilly Network...
There have been a lot of excellent posts and articles this week about APIs, the Web as Platform, web sites as software companies, and so forth. Here's my own mash-up of some of the highlights:The Philosophy of Web 2.0To set the scene, let's consider what the essence of Web 2.0...
I got quoted in an IDG article, currently on Macworld, about the RSS naming debate. I'm pleased to get my name in mainstream media, however they got the dates out of context. Here's the extract where I'm mentioned:"The debate raged on after Torres' response to Winer. In an Aug. 10...

This week I kicked off a discussion about what the brand name of RSS should be, going forward. It's generated a lot of great discussion, including some excellent comments on my blog. And funnily enough, I'm now convinced that in fact RSS is not the right term to market to...
This from Sir Robert Scoble:"Watch for more business deals and from places you wouldn't expect them. I'm hearing from several of my friends, for instance, that AOL is looking for media properties blogging networks."Interesting... I wonder if AOL read my Network of Niches post - I know some MSN folks...
Google News now has RSS feeds (finally!). It's great that all the big Internet companies now offer RSS feeds, but Google's move unfortunately signals a split in RSS branding amongst the big media and technology companies. Like Microsoft, Google isn't embracing the term 'RSS'. Microsoft wants to call RSS "web...
The Not Web 2.0 discussion has legs. Dave Winer pointed to Dare Obasanjo's post, specifically this bit:"The problem with 'Web 2.0' and other over hyped buzzwords is that 90% of the stuff you hear or read about it is crap."I agree, provided my blog is in the top 10% of...
A Network of Niches is a group of niche bloggers, each with their own unique look n' feel but collectively part of a branded network of like minds. This could be the way forward for a big company like Yahoo or AOL to roll out their blog networks, at the...
