Working together.

Think about this developers of the web.

How can we pool resources to make the network work better for the people.

Right now we're not working together at all.

Each of us are on our own.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

overcast.fm/+ABJSkl2tbDI @scripting.com hadn’t heard this one! Ok, I’m sold on the checkboxes. True that when I post links (something I do now in Openvibe or FB/LI) I could do it from my blog and have it dispatch (deal with char limits elegantly?) + editable summary of day links on blog?

# Why did podcasting remain uncentralized?

My theory is that we had..

* An indisputable definition of audio. (MP3.)

* A simple format for programming. (RSS.)

* A popular mobile device for listening. (iPod.)

A million flowers bloomed. (Podcast clients.)

Impossible to siloize. (They tried.)

Evan Prodromou is talking about long-form text in the social web in Ottawa on Friday. The very important role WordPress is playing to pull the twitter-like world into the actual web instead of their limited idea of the web. Sounds like harmony to me. ;-) canada.wordcamp.org
