Re: Sessions Top Ten Insights - Six Reputations Are Not Portable

I have to say that I disagree with Mary Hodder on this one. I think that it would be tremendously valuable to know what someone's eBay rating was in other contexts.

Let's say I'm on Craigslist - right now I have no trust mechansim. I'd much rather at least have the eBay one even though it might be imperfect. I also think that people will understand that when a rating is presented as an eBay rating that they will be able to contextualize what that really translates into.

I was @ E3 and saw the N-Gage thing and yeah - it pretty much sucked. Their whole booth area was deserted. Felt sort of bad for them.

Re: Prioritization

Ok - so it's totally the product manager in me but before you put priority levels on things shouldn't you have a goal that you're mapping against?

In the projects that I work on, that's what drives the prioritization.

So really - what are you trying to accomplish with you blog? :)

I think that what web 2.0 is really enabling in many ways is for people to harness the power of a distributed audience to do the "editing" or to put it another way for people to find out what's important in the midst of everything is out there.

The algorithms etc. are necessary though to support this effort. I've been thinking about this one for a bit and will have more later. Think of it as how do computers enable the Wisdom of Crowds to be known?

I think that all these ideas are great but one thing that I don't see is the systematic thought behind them though. Not that there necessarily needs to be. You can create great ideas for things that solve pain or create coolness without being systematic.

I prefer to be systematic. One thing that my co-founder at Aggregate Knowledge and I did before starting the company was to develop a Map of the Web 2.0 World where we could look at the landscape before deciding what things we thought were missing.

Would be curious to see what the others think the big trends and big holes are as the conversation develops.

I'm such a luddite. I really should use Skype more often!

I'm most often on instant messenger:
AIM - clawaim
Yahoo - claw_eloquence

Catch me sometime and I'd love to chat!

Thanks for dropping by Robert. I'll have that interview I did with you up by end of the week.

Re: Scoble should be fired, author tells Microsoft

I'm in for a Save Scoble t-shirt too.

Robert telling it like it is part of what makes Microsoft seem much more human and much less clueless.

I think that anyone who advocates only putting on their "shiny happy corporate face" to the public these days is part of the old guard and the old way of doing things.
