Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetCongrats. This integration makes the installation of the tracking code much easier! Just installed it now.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetSad to hear of a shutdown but as a former Product Manager of the service, I felt obligated to let people know how to grab their data. I posted a simple "how to" on what you need to do to export your data from MyBlogLog should the ax fall.

Included (blue light special!) is a python script MBL engineer Manny wrote that uses the MyBlogLog API to make a local copy of your contacts.
It was fun while it lasted.

Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetCongrats Chris! Hope you continue the momentum you kicked off in Europe. It’d be great to have you out again.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetCongratulations! It'll be good to have you over there.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetSeems like a logical progression. Look at what happened to the PC. Who would have thought a web-based solution could threaten such full-featured packages such as Word or Excel?
The question is how long it will take for mobile browsers to normalize and support phone features such as GPS, camera, and phone.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetGreat idea. Put a Yahoo Pipes type of front-end to it where people can share their filters and you've got the makings of a really interesting ecosytem.

That would be ironic. They were the original Dodgeball guys who famously left Google because of the lack of attention they were getting from management.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetI don't remember what this contraption was called but the 6th graders used to give the other kids what they called "high-rides" which Becky describes above. The ring was jammed up against the pole with a several of us hanging on for dear life on the other end while they spun the thing around at top speed. It was a process of elimination, they would keep going until only one of us remained. I think there was woodchips around the immediate base but of course by the time you were thrown off the top end of the ring, a good 15 feet up, the centrifugal force would throw you well beyond any soft landing onto the rough asphalt beyond.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetThanks for the plug! The quote is actually for Jyri Engeström's presentation at the Mindtrek conference here in Finland. Good stuff on the change in dynamics from Long Form blogging to Short Form tweets.
Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetPR was a poor choice of words, what Chris went on to say was similar to what the point you make. Because Facebook is a commercial enterprise with goals around things like "monthly user engagement" they have people dedicated to making it drop dead easy to integrate their services.
As a result you have relatively well-produced things like video tutorials, installation wizards, nice logos, etc. The entire package makes the OpenID stuff look pretty rough around the edges.
For context, the entire presentation is posted on Chris' blog.
Open is Hard.

I wonder if Jim Fiorato is related to Motorola in any way or if this was just a random coincidence.
