Two “days” coming up worth attending, for those of you in the Bay Area. Tomorrow is WikiWednesday at Socialtext in Palo Alto. Three good reasons to go: (LGI) Kirsten Jones will be talking about Socialtext 2.0. (LGJ) Evan Prodromou and Michele Jenkins, founders of WikiTravel and two reasons why WikiOhana is so awesome, [...]
Congratulations to Scott McMullan and the rest of the folks at JotSpot! His commute just got a bit longer, but a whole lot easier. (LGF)
Aaron Swartz wrote an interesting piece about the so-called Google bubble. He then proposed a way around the bubble, which he called the Google “gradient.” Having just wrapped up an event that Google sponsored, I can give some first-hand thoughts on Aaron’s piece.

This year, we’ve moved venues from San Francisco to Mountain View. Thanks to Google and especially Rick Boardman for sponsoring the event! (LET) As always, we have a great [...]
The keynote that Doug Engelbart and I did at WikiSym this past August on HyperScope and Wikis is now available on the Web, thanks once again to Morten Blaabjerg. There are three parts: (LEO) Doug’s talk (27:36) (LEP) My talk (44:07) (LEQ) Q&A (11:04) (LER) (Also posted this item on the [...]
Speaking of capabilities, while digging up relevant passages in 1984, I really wished I had a digital version of the book so that I could use HyperScope on it. Specifically, I wanted to find the passages that contained the word, “dictionary.” (LEH) With a standard Web browser and an HTML version of the text, [...]
