Sharing content in a Web 2.0 world
A week ago Ray Ozzie posted about Really Simple Sharing a new extension to the RSS (and OPML) protocol from Microsoft called Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE), that is released under Creative Commons.

Cameron Reilly sent him a hand written email note from his Tablet PC. Having also been on the receiving end from Cam I can say it feels very personal. With the advent of email,Continue reading “Personal messages”
A History of Communications
A fastinating read on the history of communications from 35,000 BC to 1998 AD, while only up to 1998 it shows how things are dramatically speeding up. I am looking forward to the next 7 years.
