Re: French luxury brand Louis Vuitton suing Darfour and modern art?

Fred,
Based on another article I read, the design was inspired to come up with the design after the paris hilton debacle...so I do not think that the design is aiming at Luxury but instead some of the excess of our society and some of the the obsessions of the media which ended doing more coverage of Paris Hilton than the Darfour Genocide.

Though case for LVMH but interesting way to raise people's awareness about the fact that Paris Hilton gets much more attention than the genocide of the Darfour.

Two things:
1) you call it honesty, I call it integrity.
2) interesting and thought provoking posts, in-depth analysis/insight (compared to blogs - even the larger ones - which focus on "breaking the news", "gossips" and "conflicts" ).

I think that you are doing well on both fronts..so it is mostly about continuing to do what you do.

Daniel Ha is definitely a super responsive/nice person. He really cares and it shows and my experience is that he is like that with everyone (and not only the influencers like Louis).

Steven,
I agree with that. Some can for sponsorship match making service would definitely be interesting. I think that creative commons is only trying to see how they can reduce the transaction cost overhead of content sharing/syndication so I think that it is worth keeping that conversation alive.

Re: Shyftr: Feed theft or social news reader?

@chartreuse I spent a couple of hours trying to understand both sides of this story and I think that your comment was definitely one of the bests out there: a great way to step back and look at the big picture. kudos!

It would be great if the next version of RSS and ATOM could go further and not only point to the comment feed but define a standard set of interactions for adding comments.

Khodabakchian your point about the others is well taken and I will definitely keep them in mind. For the time being with Adobe AIR and Silverlight being big in the spotlight I felt it would be best if we got our feet wet with those tow and once we are comfortrable in keeping up with that kind of news then we'll look to branch out.

Re: Not really a new direction but a new interest

khodabakchian — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:47:14 -0000

Looking forward to following your exploration. I think that it would be good to keep the "open web" (HTML 5 + Gears + Firefox|Webkit) alternative in the radar too.The open web is much more organic and adaptive and if darwin is right, it has best best chance to cross the finish line first, way ahead silverlight and air (despite the amount of money Microsoft and Adobe are pouring in!)

+1. 1&2 should be encapsulated in their API. They should have a way to return a comment structure given a post url. They should also have an API to let the client know if for a given RSS feed id or website url, if that site is disqus powered.

Congrats. Twhirl is a great product.

Re: gReader: Comment on blogs with Disqus from within Google Reader

paularterburn — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:56:05 -0000

I actually don't use the API to display actual comments...I use the default Javascript code provided by Disqus and tweak the variables to get what I want. The disqus_url is the variable of the exact blog post page that is tied to comments. The tough part is checking each page for the Disqus comment system and grabbing the forum_id. This is the part I have hard-coded for now for a few select major blogs.

Thanks loic. This is an interesting way to look at it.

Re: gReader: Comment on blogs with Disqus from within Google Reader

khodabakchian — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 20:56:01 -0000

This is indeed very nicely done. I have one question: I look at the API and it was not clear to me how given a blog post URL, an application could get the list of posts. The API talks about forum id, message id, etc.. Is there an endpoint in the API which given a post URL (example: http://www.loiclemeur.com/france/2008/04/plus-d... ) would return me a JSON representation of the list of comments posted for that entry? (or alternatively, the URL of the iframe we could embed)
Thank you!

One of the best Seesmic du Jour. It is interesting how in your mind Friendsfeed and Netvibes are different. Do you think that you would be able to explain the difference to a non-technically savy person?

Re: Arrington - The Rupert Murdock of the blogosphere

khodabakchian — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:59:05 -0000

:-) Did I mention no BS in one of my previous posts? I think that the power of blogs is their ability to be laser focused and the high level of competition which is constantly pushing the authors to better content. Creating an empire would go against those two aspects. What is really missing is finding a way to reward people link you who put time in writing great content...no need for a middleman.

Re: My name is Dave and I'm a racist (Scripting News)

khodabakchian — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 18:38:35 -0000

Dave,

Is it really about racism or it is about discrimination? The problem is that we tend to believe that we leave in a zero sum game: if we invest in improving the health care system and health system of under privileged people, then this must be a lost for people whose tax are being increased.

What is really interesting about Barack Obama is that he can inspire people and help them shift their perception.

Thanks! I agree that track backs might be the right sort of compromise. We'll probably add something like that soon.
