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.

Rogel @ October 23, 2006 # No Comment Yet

For long time I had the feeling that the term web 2.0 has to much ideology involved. 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, […]

Rogel @ October 6, 2006 # 4 Comments

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 […]

It is so great that in fact its already changed the way that many of us consuming information. I, for example, do not visits sites anymore for news reading- […]

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

Rogel @ August 25, 2006 # No Comment Yet

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 […]

 Finally a useful service.
I simply love this new web service, and I think that I know at least another person that will use it. The service is realy simple - review of the cost, or savings, of each proposed bill. You can review the site and use its sorting and filter tools, or you […]

I’m using Blogbeat to analyze the traffic on my blog, and I wrote about it in the past:
But there is more into Blogbeat that I like – the attitude. I love the service – the constant improvements, the responsiveness to problems and the real listening to comments. Maybe when MeasureMap will finally open […]

Pessimistic Prediction

Rogel @ July 10, 2006 # No Comment Yet

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 […]
