Wikilobbying
Rogel @ January 30, 2007 # 2 Comments
Steven Colbert’s Wikilobbying is obviously humoristic, But it reflect serious concerns about lobbies and PR agencies tempering with the information in Wikipedia. I like using Wikipedia and I believe it has a potential, but it has to develop some serious defense to protect itself from such activities.

From an exciting innovation and working business model it was made into ideology and start to form rules and ethics that has nothing to do with real development. Some of the people that promotes this phenomena were the usual type, […]

I read before about the amazing effect of social networks on one’s blog traffic, but now that I saw it on my own blog I’m really impressed. Two days ago I wrote a short post about Outbrain, an interesting attempt to take real advantage of the capabilities of RSS. A reader that thought that […]

Spotback’s shining moment
Rogel @ August 28, 2006 # 3 Comments
Awhile ago I wrote about the lack of applications using RSS in methods that will be useful to the non-technical crowds. Most of the applications that use RSS lacking the vision of turning from RSS aggregator, in whatever form, into a personalize news/knowledge source.
An interesting and very promising attempt in the right direction is […]

Great example

I find the discussion in Wikipedia whether to delete Ross Mayfield’s article on Enterprise 2.0 fascinating. It is an open discussion that remain in civilized boundaries and on topic and have great arguments for both sides. It is a really great example of the potential of open discussion that is self govern.
I love the […]

Pessimistic Prediction

I like Digg and YouTube, as the previous post clearly demonstrates, and I’m looking with great interest about the technological and social options they are opening. Both service aren’t only reflecting the trends and general interest but also shaping the public opinion.
Being built on user generated content both of […]

Back to hieroglyphics

I love the fact that Israeli companies are in the front of innovation and high tech and my first intention is to support development made in Israel. However, and as bad as I feel, I cannot avoid writing that Zlango is a service that nobody need.
If it wasn’t bad enough when young people’s language […]
