Steve Gillmor’s GestureLab

The thought that podcasting needs a name change is right up there with the idea that Adam Curry put forward that breaking Gillmor Gang up into pieces was holding it hostage. In the rush to formalize the "best practices" of rebooted media, it is laughable that any of us have even the remotest clue about […]

When Dave Winer says the hard part is getting enough adoption to achieve a critical mass, you should listen. If anything has achieved a critical mass, it's RSS. When Doc Searls talks about Vendor Management Systems, or intentions, or whatever, you should listen. If anything has achieved a critical mass, it's the Cluetrainism that markets […]

Google has just pushed a revamp of Google Reader that I will quickly move over to from Rojo. Here's hoping Rojo frees my gesture data from its store. Look for Niall Kennedy's analysis; he and I were briefed on this a few weeks ago, among others I'm sure. And stay tuned for important news from […]

It's looking like the full Gang is in the offing for tomorrow's session. That is, minus Udell, who is busy getting ready for a barnstorm of his Dylanesque never-ending tour of Mexico and several other outposts. But Calacanis says he'll show, and his You Tube post suggests he's re-engaging somewhat. The YouTube myth gets a […]

Richard Koman of Tom Foremski's Silicon Valley Watcher quotes the Mercury News on HPGate:
The California Attorney General's office officially launched an investigation into the matter, issuing subpoenas, the Mercury News reports.
`I have no settled view as to whether or not the chairwoman's acts were illegal, but I do think they were colossally stupid,'' Attorney […]
