Dalton mandando bem:

Pensemos sobre isso... É preciso ser criativo com as peças de um jogo que nos permite desenvolver novos elementos, novas composições e estruturas que têm por objetivo fornecer soluções, ampliar a interação e possibilitar a captação de uma nova forma de relacionamento entre as pessoas. É disso que estamos falando o tempo inteiro. Não há segredos e não se pode deixar levar pelo cotidiano da experimentação e da produção, que tende, infelizmente, a ser alienador e elitista. É óbvio que sempre iremos querer mais, mais processamento, mais memória, mais disco, mais espaço. Para quê? É esse o ponto. Somos low tech por posicionamento. Somos low tech por ideologia. Somos low tech por posicionamento político. Somos low tech porque temos fome. Somos low tech porque criamos cubos mágicos em espaços abstratos. Somos low tech porque esporificamos verborragias. Sejamos ousados. Pensemos, a cada minuto, a quem servimos.

Pádua me passou esse linque: Nvu - The Complete Web Authoring System for Linux Promissor. A testar. Atualizando: Testado. Simples e eficiente. Ainda criticarei. Mas tô gostando.

on social software (28 April 2004, Interconnected)

I'm not going to say anything about the projects or the outcome of the seminar day at the moment, just say what social software looks like, deploying in anger, a year in. This is what consulting and teaching non-expects in this area looks like.

Smart Mobs: Online Course on Social Software

Blog, Wikis, Social Networks - what can social software do for you? is an online course that runs May 17 through May 21. It costs $149. I'm posting this because I know and endorse a number of the people who will be teaching: Tom Mandel, Lisa Kimball, Ross Mayfield, Tom Erickson all know what they are talking about, and know how to teach in an online environment.

How to Save the World

Everyone has their own specifications for what they'd like blogs to do. Advanced users, comfortable with the technology and able to tweak their blogs to do some amazing (and some silly) things, are quickly leaving the rest of us behind, and there are millions of others who took a quick try at blogging, threw up their hands, and gave up. This article is an attempt to create a scorecard of what blogs can and cannot presently do, and what they should be able to do. The objective is to spec out a blogging tool that is better (more useful), faster and simpler, at next to no cost.
