Proactive design panel on the front end

By iamronen | Published: February 15, 2012
As a followup to my email to Ian – I came across this post with a “proactive design panel on the front end”. It’s nice to know I’m not living in my own imaginary bubble “This further raises the question, what else should we bring to the front to enable a better visual [...]

Facebook Obliterating Privacy

By iamronen | Published: June 8, 2010
Body language professionals tell you to look for tell-tale signs. For example, when you are engaged in an ad-hoc corridor conversation at work – look at the feet of the person you are talking to. If they are pointing at you he is with you, if they are pointing somewhere else – he isn’t. When you [...]

Eben Moglen – Freedom in The Cloud

By iamronen | Published: May 13, 2010
This deserved a separate post. Thank you again to the guys at Diaspora. “Mark Zuckerberg has attained an unenviable record, he has done more harm to the human race than anybody else his age. Because he harnessed ‘friday night’, that is ‘everybody needs to get laid’, and he turned it into a structure for degenerating the [...]

Dave Winer On Dropbox

By iamronen | Published: May 11, 2010
Dave again brings up Dropox – which I agree is a great service. I also agree there should be an open-source alternative to it… BUT I believe that what is needed is not an open-source technology – since that would only be available for technically-proficient end-users. What we need is another Dropbox open-source PRODUCT – something [...]

Email Bankruptcy

By iamronen | Published: May 11, 2010
Fred Wilson provides insight into his email habits and wishes … and again Fred provides another great example for what I call contexts… this time the context is “priorioty email contacts” … this is such a simple thing to implement … and a killer feature for a new and alternative messaging system.

Contexts

By iamronen | Published: April 23, 2010
Fred Wilson’s post about Facebooks new Social Graph … does a great job of explaining what I mean by contexts… Some things I want to share with everyone… Some things I want to share with family… Some things I want to share with work associates… Some things I want to share with no one… Right now startup companies and their [...]

WordPress Microposts

By iamronen | Published: November 25, 2009
I feel like I’m in a conversation with Dave Winer tonight… this time he’s calling out to twitter client application to bypass Twitter itself (if  you’re not in the tech-loop – then yes it is possible and and there are already two working technologies that do this). A while back I described an RSS reader that [...]

Creating a Single Feed

By iamronen | Published: November 25, 2009
Dave Winer writes about creating a single feed of all his on-line writing. I definitely support this – but I see it happening another way – actually the other way around. Dave is actually “collecting a single feed” – which actually embraces something that is wrong to start with. There shouldn’t be any need to [...]

GoDaddy SmartSpace

By iamronen | Published: November 13, 2009
GoDaddy have launched something interesting in SmartSpace. It looks like a well thought out solution – but it does not speak to me because it’s not open-source. It’s another lock-in solution. Now we need to create something like this that is pure open-source and owned by me & you. It would be great if GoDaddy & [...]
