Here's my transcript of the IRC chat from the Berkman Thursday Weblog Writers meeting, on Dec 11, 2003.
Have fun!
| --> | You are now talking on #bloggerCon |
| <Lawrence> | heh |
| <Lawrence> | we rule |
| <JakeSavin> | Not sure if anyone else sees this, but the URL for the webcast is the same as last week. |
| <Lawrence> | yeah, first thing i tried |
| <JakeSavin> | http://eon.law.harvard.edu:8888/ramgen/encoder/conference_room.rm |
| <Lawrence> | I thought it was cancelled when Dave said the webcast might not go through, then I refreshed and saw that it might happen |
| <Lawrence> | What time does the meeting usually start? |
| <Lawrence> | We know the URL =0 |
| <JakeSavin> | 7 EST |
| <JakeSavin> | heheh |
| --> | je_apostrophe (DaveScript@roam216-66.law.harvard.edu) has joined #bloggercon |
| <JakeSavin> | http://eon.law.harvard.edu:8888/ramgen/encoder/conference_room.rm |
| <je_apostrophe> | does that work? |
| <Lawrence> | yeah |
| <JakeSavin> | that's the webcast |
| <Lawrence> | we are listening |
| <JakeSavin> | yes |
| <JakeSavin> | http://eon.law.harvard.edu:8888/ramgen/encoder/conference_room.rm |
| <je_apostrophe> | nice, we're good! |
| <JakeSavin> | (same as last week) |
| <Lawrence> | The URL from last week works |
| <Lawrence> | Yeah we hear you |
| <JakeSavin> | can't hear it well |
| <JakeSavin> | sssh so we can hear |
| <JakeSavin> | welcome back kotter |
| <Lawrence> | Jake is too cool |
| <JakeSavin> | hahah |
| <Lawrence> | Jake we bow in your presense |
| <JakeSavin> | yes |
| <JakeSavin> | (trying to find my mp3 recorder) |
| <je_apostrophe> | it will be archived for later |
| <je_apostrophe> | i'll take care of giving dave the file for scripting |
| <JakeSavin> | oh -- so no need to record? |
| --> | sanskritboy (~sanskritb@roam240-40.fas.harvard.edu) has joined #bloggerCon |
| <JakeSavin> | cool. |
| <je_apostrophe> | (supposedly) |
| <sanskritboy> | What's up, party people? |
| <JakeSavin> | heheh |
| <JakeSavin> | beatles? |
| <Lawrence> | ouch |
| <JakeSavin> | (bang crash!) |
| <Lawrence> | RIAA raid |
| <JakeSavin> | heh |
| <sanskritboy> | Too bad we don't have an iSight. |
| <sanskritboy> | We could all do synchronized dancing for the audience. |
| <JakeSavin> | who's sanskritboy? |
| <Lawrence> | Think he's at the meeting... |
| <je_apostrophe> | sanskritboy -> Ryan Overbey |
| <Lawrence> | ? |

| <Lawrence> | yeah, it's coming through fine |
| <MarcN> | some crappy 80s ballad is playing |
| <morphex> | what are you guys listening to? |

| <DaveScripting> | how is the quality? |
| <morphex> | it's ok |
| <JakeSavin> | seems alright |
| <Lawrence> | sounds good here |
| <morphex> | a bit low volume though |
| <adamhill> | its OK in Texas |
| --> | kaye (djspark__@n128-227-34-120.xlate.ufl.edu) has joined #bloggercon |
| <morphex> | this is soo nice, listening to voices instead of reading text |
| <morphex> | :D |
| <kaye> | i wish they were closer to the mic |
| <kaye> | it's hard to hear on my laptop |
| <kaye> | AWESOME! |
| <kaye> | loud -- good |
| <kaye> | not really |
| <kaye> | okay |
| <MarcN> | Sounds okay, but a little bit of a buzz or something. |
| <kaye> | i will be quiet to hear every word |
| <adamhill> | i still have to have it turned all the way up to hear them |
| --> | Rod (~rkrato@6532133hfc201.tampabay.rr.com) has joined #bloggercon |

| <MarcN> | I saw Dean last week in NH, and the internet was never mentioned. |
| <kaye> | But from my position the only people he has touched has been the upper middle class white vote. |
| <ad> | that's the only person any candidate has touched on |
| --> | Jerf (~chatzilla@adsl-68-249-238-137.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net) has joined #bloggercon |
| <kaye> | that is legit, ad |
| <ad> | so he should've turned down the endorsement? |
| <kaye> | you're right |
| <ad> | that doesn't make any sense. if you're a candidate, you don't turn down a voter |
| --> | Stewart (~Stewart@h69-cpe104.insinc.com) has joined #bloggercon |
| <je_apostrophe> | i just shoke my hand in agreement |
| <je_apostrophe> | you didn't see it |
| <ad> | heh |
| <AreEmmKay> | isn't online money affecting offline politics pretty important? |
| <Stewart> | wait a second ... is this #atomdev? |
| <kaye> | should he have turned it down ... good question |
| <Stewart> | sorry, wrong room ... |
| * | Stewart apologizes |
| <ad> | i don't think dean knows what's cool about the 'net |
| <ad> | which is fine, most people don't |
| <kaye> | at my research mtg today we talked more about why gore did it -- some of the people there said this was Gore snubbing his nose at the party since they were adamnet that he shouldn't/couldn't run again |
| <AreEmmKay> | not in any idealistic sense |
| <ad> | he says something good is coming of it, and that's a good step for someone to learn about it |
| <ad> | to motivate him |
| <MarcN> | I've gone to a bunch of stump speaches and the internet is never mentioned. |
| <ad> | yep, but that's fine. most people don't care about the 'net |
| <ad> | phones aren't mentioned either |
| <ad> | he's snubbing the phonosphere! |
| <kaye> | lol |
| <ad> | and i bet they raise more money on the phone than they do on the web |
| <AreEmmKay> | heh |
| <kaye> | i still think that you have to take the money from where ever you can earn it & put it into the avenue that will most get you elected |
| <ad> | right, that's their job |
| <kaye> | isn't that what contributors want when they give money? to get the person elected? |
| <ad> | i don't think anybody donated in order to promote blogs |
| <kaye> | agreed |
| <-- | Jerf has quit (Client Quit) |
| <ad> | they don't get it? they're great at the business they're in |
| <ad> | i mean, if they were saying "i know what's best about outlining", people would say they have no credibility |
| <Stewart> | hear hear |
| <sanskritboy> | Michael is http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/dowbrigade |
| <ad> | the only way they know how to empower people |
| <ad> | is by getting themselves elected |
| <ad> | they're not trying to make it easier for people to read the Times |
| <MarcN> | Because of RSS I check my amphetadesk page before I hit the various news sites that I used to read. |
| <ad> | well, sure, i love syndication |
| <ad> | but why would a presidential candidate evangelize syndication? |
| <ad> | that's dave's job! |
| <kaye> | ad's comment is very interesting in light of this personal mission jeff jarvis is on --- he's sending money & cameras & support to iraqi bloggers so their voices can be heard |
| <ad> | yeah, definitely |
| <ad> | howard dean never *claimed* to be a friend of the internet |
| <ad> | that's words in his mouth |
| <MarcN> | Blogs give a way for people with similar interests to keep each other informed. That can cause political action. |
| <ad> | he said "i didn't know anything about it, and the 'net has turned out to be interesting" |
| <kaye> | i agree with MarcN |
| <MarcN> | Imagine if Florida happened today -- there would be tons of blogs on both sides getting their word out. |
| <ad> | i totally agree. but from any candidate's perspective |
| <ad> | it's *already* caused political action |
| <Stewart> | And, let's be frank here -- blogs are a hobbyist phenomena - Dean isn't doing a lot to support skeet shooting or needlepoint or bridge either |
| <MarcN> | you would have law geeks tracking stuff, political hacks with their spin, etc |
| --> | Jerf (~chatzilla@adsl-68-249-238-137.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net) has joined #bloggercon |
| <ad> | yep. there are more knitting blogs than warblogs, still |
| <ad> | and nobody's kowtowing to that audience |
| <AreEmmKay> | I would vote for the skeet shooting candidate |
| <ad> | me too |
| <ad> | or jai alai |
| <ad> | i thought dave just said he didn't lose? |
| <ad> | alex |
| <ad> | yep |
| <MarcN> | I think blogs got a bunch of people to form around a candidate which gave Dean the ball rolling.... |
| <ad> | oh, they can't see me? |
| <ad> | i was answering dave |
| <Stewart> | hey people in the room - if you can see this say "I C IRC" |
| <AreEmmKay> | is this being projected on the screen, like at bloggercon? |
| <ad> | most normal people, gore is the only democrat they've heard of |
| --> | GregGersh (~greg@pcp05504214pcs.owngsm01.md.comcast.net) has joined #bloggercon |
| <ad> | of all these candidates |
| <AreEmmKay> | IC IRC |
| <Stewart> | :D |
| <ad> | or whomever jay leno mentions |
| <ad> | thanks! |
| <Stewart> | ah, ok - thanks! |
| <Lawrence> | haha |
| <kaye> | IC IRC |
| <Stewart> | Yes! |
| <AreEmmKay> | yay |
| <kaye> | tes |
| <kaye> | yes, rather |
| <kaye> | interesting point -- if you blog about it is it your business? |
| <kaye> | (hi red) |
| <MarcN> | For example the diebold voting machine issue can cross over to mainstream if enough bloggers chat it up and get noticed by big media. |
| <ad> | nah, it's too obscure to explain |
| <ad> | yeah, but you catch more flies with honey |
| <Kevin_Marks> | diebold is crossing over |
| <ad> | i hope so |
| <Kevin_Marks> | Krgman in NYT covered it |
| <ad> | it's so complicated, though |
| <AreEmmKay> | Matt Gross for president in 2008? |
| <Stewart> | "*the* smart bloggers"? |
| <ad> | half the people support bush |
| <MarcN> | Kevin_Marks: yes, and probably because there was a bunch of chatter about it that someone in big media noticed it! |
| <Kevin_Marks> | Cringely too |
| <Stewart> | ok |
| <ad> | who else is he going to pay? blogs are decentralized? |
| <AreEmmKay> | me |
| <ad> | if he could make a buy across a million blogs for a million bucks, he'd do it |
| <ad> | but there's no infrastructure |
| <ad> | doubleclick doesn't serve blogs collectively |
| <ad> | but the web has helped dean |
| <ad> | do you think he's more likely to do work like that |
| <ad> | to help the web |
| <MarcN> | Similar to blogs, the whole opensource/gnu work came into its own with the web |
| <ad> | after he gets elected? |
| <ad> | or is some other candidate more likely? |
| <-- | morphex has quit (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer)) |
| <ad> | i mean, you have to do the math. those who the web helps most are most likely to reciprocate |
| --> | morphex (~Administr@122.80-202-16.nextgentel.com) has joined #bloggercon |
| <Kevin_Marks> | deans web principles statement is good - largely 'cos it was written by Weinberger |
| <Kevin_Marks> | Hoder is running in Iran |
| <kaye> | but you shouldn't vote or support someone just because (s)he blogs -- it should be the content within the blog |
| <ad> | i wonder if hoder passes the pro-blog litmus test |
| <kaye> | that would be like me voting for someone because she is a woman |
| <ad> | right, exactly |
| <ad> | the best candidate might not have a blog at all |
| <kaye> | right-o |
| <ad> | and therefore would give exactly as much money to the web as dean does |
| <Kevin_Marks> | well, he has made Iranian blogs really popular |
| <ad> | but dave criticizes dean |
| <ad> | and not, say, sharpton. whose web presence is a joke |
| <ad> | yeah, hoder's done terrific work |
| <MarcN> | So if Limbaugh 'got' blogs would you support him? |
| <ad> | but if he got elected, i'm sure he'd focus on core human rights |
| <ad> | and dave's saying it's more important what he does for the web |
| <Stewart> | also, at some point ... |
| <kaye> | unfortunately, it's coming down to uneducated voters making decisions based on pretty web sites |
| <Stewart> | "What happens when you combine a weblog tool with an aggregator? Haha. I should have it working in time for tomorrow night's weblog writer's meeting." |
| <Stewart> | enough teasing |
| <MarcN> | Stewart: do you get blosxom + blagg? ;-) |
| <Stewart> | :D |
| <Stewart> | I thought that's what Radio was, but I've never actually seen the app |
| <Kevin_Marks> | lets dissolve the electorate and bring in a new one, Kaye? |
| <Stewart> | KinjaPad |
| <kaye> | im more for engaging the current one -- because i don't things are all that bad |
| <kaye> | unless you are going to elect me, kevin :) |
| <ad> | i agree |
| <ad> | most voters are great, people just don't respect them |
| <kaye> | i heard an academic presentation last month about non-voters -- they say they don't vote becuase they don't know enough ... when in fact they are actually very educated people |
| <Kevin_Marks> | I don't get to vote - taxation without representation is the Englishman's lot in America |
| <ad> | right, there's an insecurity thing |
| <Jerf> | the more you know, the more you know you don't know |
| <morphex> | is this webcast getting stored anywhere? |
| <kaye> | yes, ad. |
| <ad> | and it maps very closely to how gender affects job applications |
| <ad> | equally qualified women and men going for the same job that's slightly above their level |
| <ad> | the men tend to assume they can do it, and the women say they're unqualified |
| <ad> | i think people see voting like that |
| <kaye> | yes -- i think it also has a lot to do with our changing edu system (college) |
| <AreEmmKay> | fire! |
| <morphex> | hehe |
| <kaye> | i *heart* rss |
| <je_apostrophe> | thanks kaye, it hearts you too |
| <kaye> | it saved my bloglife during my phd qualifying exams |
| <kaye> | lol, thanks jay -- cause you're on my list :) |
| <-- | Jerf has quit ("ChatZilla 0.9.35 [Mozilla rv:1.5/20031027]") |
| <ad> | i love syndication in general |
| <ad> | i'm not picky about technology :) |
| <kaye> | what else do you syndicate ad? |
| <je_apostrophe> | rss took my life away... 950 feeds and counting |
| <kaye> | ohmigod jay! |
| <ad> | i had worked with NewsML feeds in the past |
| * | sanskritboy tries to do the math |
| * | sanskritboy 200 new feeds in 2 months? |
| <ad> | or even email newsletters, whatever |
| <ad> | it's a great thing though |
| <ad> | a good way to lose your life :) |
| <je_apostrophe> | http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/directory/5/feeds |
| <je_apostrophe> | we're looking at that |
| <kaye> | thanks! i had missed the URL |
| <MarcN> | There needs to be a firefly (remember them?) for RSS. Look at what I currently read and recommend others based on people with similar interests. |
| <Kevin_Marks> | Buzz cites iranian Prez on blogs: http://www.buzzmachine.com/archives/2003_12.html#005422 |
| --> | gregor (~gregor@h00095b3e9205.ne.client2.attbi.com) has joined #bloggercon |
| <MarcN> | people at berkman -- read my comment. we need firefly for RSS |
| * | gregor waves |
| <ad> | collaborative filtering for blog reading? |
| <ad> | aren't there lots of people doing that? |
| <Stewart> | MarcN - Kinja is doing that |
| <Kevin_Marks> | After President Khatami mentions the explosion of weblogging in Iran, Daily Summit asked: do you use weblogs, Mr President? |
| <Kevin_Marks> | "I do not use weblogs," the President replied. "But I do not use many good things. My own daughters do not have weblogs but they are very active in using the internet and chat. Our youth and adolescents during high school - and university - are using weblogs very extensively. In universities, there is a lot of access and there are many internet cafes in Iran. Access for youth to the internet is very satisfactory." |
| <MarcN> | ad: not filtering, but suggesting related rss. |
| <je_apostrophe> | we meant categorizing the feeds and organizing place to find them |
| <gregor> | i wonder if i should take some pictures of the meeting? |
| <ad> | kinja is the lafayette project? |
| <Stewart> | yep, same thing |
| <ad> | right, i meant filtering the universe of all blogs down to suggestions |
| <kaye> | someone should photoblog it |
| <gregor> | we are not cool enough to have camphones |
| <MarcN> | ad: the way firefly worked is it listened to music you played and based on that compared it to music other people were listening to. So if I like talking heads, R.E.M., it would find others listenin to that and suggest something else they listen to to me. |
| <MarcN> | Stewart: url for kinja? |
| <gregor> | however, ole regular digicam: can do. |
| <ad> | yeah, that's what collaborative filtering is |
| <ad> | maybe just two names for the same thing |
| <je_apostrophe> | if a demo starts it will be difficult to describe what's going on but we'll do our best |
| <-- | gregor has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) |
| <ad> | thanks |
| <MarcN> | ad: filtering I see as a way to limit something (spam filter, porn filter). pointer to kinja? |
| <ad> | kinja.com looks like it hasn't launched yet |
| <ad> | right, it's limiting the set of all blogs to just hte ones that your friends like |
| <Stewart> | (sorry - was away) |
| <Stewart> | yeah - there is not a lot of info public yet |
| <MarcN> | ad: okay. sounds about right. |
| --> | gregor_ (~gregor@h00095b3e9205.ne.client2.attbi.com) has joined #bloggercon |
| <GregGersh> | So is Kinja a way to make Group Blogs? |
| --- | gregor_ is now known as gregor |
| <Stewart> | no - it's like amazon recommendations, but for blogs (AFIAK) |
| * | gregor pondering why his wifi is so flaky |
| <Stewart> | you like Kottke.org and Fleshbot? we suggest ... |

| <MarcN> | sounds like a great tool for spamming blogs! |
| <kaye> | it would also scare me that i would post something in the "wrong place" (seeing as how i disagree with lisa williams' JUST ONE BLOG philo) |
| <kaye> | but it's a kewl tool |
| <AreEmmKay> | I collect blogs like crazy old women collect cats |
| <MarcN> | kaye: what is the purpose of multiple blogs? |
| <kaye> | professional blog |
| <kaye> | personal blog |
| <kaye> | photoblog |
| <kaye> | thursday blog |
| <kaye> | (just kidding) |
| <AreEmmKay> | behind the firewall-at-work-blog |
| <kaye> | exactly (dave & michael) |
| <MarcN> | So Lydon is really writing for multiple magazines. |
| <-- | gregor has quit (Read error: 54 (Connection reset by peer)) |
| <MarcN> | How is that different for writing for different magazines with different audiences? |
| <kaye> | MarcN: i think it is the same - only more frequent |

| <Blogdigger> | So this tool routes the same post to differnt blogs? |
| <sanskritboy> | http://archive.scripting.com/prefs/routing/ |
| <sanskritboy> | Nevermind, that requires a password. =) |
| <Blogdigger> | Is that the gist? |
| <kaye> | *warning* off topic: I meant to say this earlier, blogosphere.us has a neat graph of link text of the prez candidates: http://www.blogosphere.us/archives/2003/12/10/presidential_linktext.php#more /off-topic comment |
| <MarcN> | Dump all the entries in a database and then publish various views to various urls. Big deal. |
| <Blogdigger> | Doesnt Radio do that now with multiple Categories/Blogs? OH I see, it uses MetaWeblogs API to do any blog. |
| <JakeSavin> | right -- that's what's special about it (MetaWeblog API) -- if I understand correctly |
| <Blogdigger> | So Channel Z is like a Meta Weblog for all the blogs on the server. |
| <AreEmmKay> | i guess they could live anywhere |
| <Blogdigger> | It gives you a top level view of all the people on the server. |
| <Blogdigger> | Yes, they could live anywhere. |
| <MarcN> | http://www.nozell.com/cgi/blosxom/nh has my nh posts (in chono order) and blosxom/linux is only linux stuff. |
| <JakeSavin> | MetaWeblog API -- seems to me that they don't have to live on *one* server -- could be anywhere that the API is supported |
| <MarcN> | simple apache hacking to could have different domain names... |
| <-- | Stewart (~Stewart@h69-cpe104.insinc.com) has left #bloggercon |
| <Blogdigger> | Got it Jake, so anyone can add to Channel Z... |
| <JakeSavin> | I think anyone using the channel z software could send to any blog that supports metaweblog api |
