Videoconferencing And Avatars To Complement Lack Of Non-Verbal Clues In Online Meetings
Meetings that only use voice communication, such as a teleconference, present difficulties in determining who is speaking and listening.

Getting Microsoft to Support Blogware ...and LiveJournal ...and Flickr ...and...
Citing this article, Roland Tanglao says, "just like VoIP will be part of every app so will Post To Blog." In other words, content authoring tools - such as MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and opthers, which now simply save to file or print, will (and should) be able to post content to any online service, such as Blogger or Flickr. These online services have APIs ready to receive content. But who will write the bit in, say, MS Word, that sends the content? Microsoft? From OLDaily on February 7, 2005 at 10:45 p.m..

Eide Neurolearning Blog
Several sites (including the e-Learning Centre) pointed today to this blog, which launched December 30. It discusses physical processes and problems such as dyslexia and tinnitus. These don't interest me (even though I have the latter). It also discusses perceptual processing, metacognition and metaphor. These do interest me. Your mileage may vary; looks like an interesting read thus far. By Fernette and Brock Eide, December 30, 2004 [OLDaily on February 7, 2005 at 10:45 p.m..

Publishers Irritated by Google's Digital Library
In a press release formatted to look like a news article, Nature Publishing Group is expressing displeasure with Google over its plans to index and excerpt academic articles. "Google has not yet struck any legal agreements with publishers, either individually or collectively... Few publishers would want to opt out of the library scheme, Morris says -- but they need to be asked to provide the appropriate permission." This is probably not true; copyright law is not intended to prohibit such use. Google excerpts everything else on the web and provides thumbnails of images.

Commercial Success
I found this article on advertising on weblogs and especially on Yahoo! interesting. Worth noting though is that you need to attract a large circulation - about 30,000 page views a day, according to an ad agency that contacted me - before it really becomes viable. What we're seeing is that properties combing a number of blogs - such as Corante and Gawker - can make a go of it, but for single-author sites (such as this one) advertising isn't likely to support the business. I continue to be impressed by Yahoo!, which has taken really nice technology and fashioned it into a destination From OLDaily on February 7, 2005 at 10:45 p.m..

Is It Time for a Moratorium on Metadata?
"Creating metadata for text has gone from tedious to insignificant." If this isn't obvious, it should be. From where I sit, the text is the metadata - it describes itself. So where is metadata useful - photographs? Video? Well it would be, if people filled it out well. What would be better, proposes the author, would be if there were a moratorium on metadata. Instead, we should embark on a project to differentiate multimedia content without metadata - in effect, letting the pciture be its own metadata just as the text is.

Accessible collaborative documents
Despite the pooh-poohing of the format, I am still backing the idea of a universal accessible web policy for developers. But lets take a step back and take care of the format issue first.

On the Front Page and Maintaining a Reasonable amount of Content
Shortly after the election, Atrios posted a short piece on how to build the popularity of a blog. In it, his number one recommendation was to update frequently — at least once per day. People do not bother reading sites that only update once every several days. This, in case there is still confusion amongst those who run this fair website, is why the diary section overtook the regular article sections in terms of hits.
