Future of the Conversations Network

As recently announced by Doug Kaye, the Conversations Network is embarking on a new phase. The existing channels, including ITConversations and Social Innovation Conversations, will continue. But rather than creating more such channels, the Conversations Network wants to help individuals and organizations capture and publish their own spoken-word audio, mainly in the form of events [...]

exchange2ical available on CodePlex

The Exchange-to-iCalendar script that I mentioned here is now published to CodePlex. It’s intended for organizations that run Exchange and would like to publish selected calendars in iCalendar (aka iCal, or .ICS) format without having to rely on a client machine running Outlook 2007. I’ve never run a real Exchange server, so I’m wide open to [...]

A quiet retreat from the busy information commons

Nick Carr’s essay in the current Atlantic Monthly crystallizes a lot of what I’ve been feeling for a couple of years about how our use of the Net is changing us. Not co-incidentally I read the essay in the printed magazine whose non-hypertextuality I experienced as a feature, not a bug. (Nick writes: “Unlike footnotes, [...]

A conversation with Harry Lewis and Ken Ledeen about technology, society, and Hedy Lamarr

On this week’s Interviews with Innovators show I spoke with Harry Lewis and Ken Ledeen, two of the three authors of the forthcoming book Blown To Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion. The book explores why information technologies continue to produce surprising outcomes, and how society responds to them. One of the [...]

Serious uses for YouTube’s new popup video feature

I’m loving YouTube’s new video annotation feature, which Phil Shapiro alerted me to. Lots of people are going to have lots of fun with that. If you remember when MTV first started doing popup video, you’ll have some idea how much fun. But from Phil’s perspective and mine, this is a seriously useful tool as well. [...]

Questions for Exchange admins about public calendars

To complement my series on client-side calendar publishing, I’ve been looking for a way to push ICS files from Exchange. Why? A couple of local organizations with calendars I’d like to include in my calendar syndication project are running Exchange. It’s true that individuals within those organizations can use Outlook 2007 to publish calendars to [...]

A conversation with John Buckman about Nazi invaders from the moon (and other things)

My guest for this week’s Interviews with Innovators is John Buckman, a serial entrepeneur with a passion for the world-changing possibilities of online communication. I was a customer of his first company, Lyris, whose email list manager I once deployed for a client. A few years later we met at SXSW, where John showed me [...]

LiveMesh and FeedSync: software “above the level of a single device”

When David Stutz left Microsoft, he wrote a parting essay that invoked a new kind of Internet-oriented operating system characterized by “software that runs above the level of a single device.” Tim O’Reilly echoed that phrase here, and often used it to help explain what he meant by Web 2.0. The recently-announced LiveMesh is a nice [...]

Drafting on bloggers

The word drafting has many meanings but the one I’m interested in here comes from bicycling. When you ride closely behind another rider, you’re drafting. The leader pushes the headwinds out of the way, and the follower doesn’t have to push so hard. Blogging can work that way too. I thought of this when I reallized [...]

In search of an ICS publishing component for Exchange

As part of my project in community calendar syndication, I would like to find a way to push an Exchange calendar to a web-accessible ICS file. Although that isn’t a native function of Exchange, I’m sure it can be accomplished by way of the Exchange API, as an add-in or a scheduled server process. For [...]
