Early this morning I read and shared a post by Zemanta cofounder Bostjan Spetic. Bostjan reveals his findings that most Zemanta users are for more interested in relevance over popularity. After sharing the message, I received an instant reply from a good friend Mahendra Palsule: Continue reading »

I suffered a deluge of information yesterday from my compatriot Tyler on the state of open protocols. My first challenge was to get a feel for the nomenclature and understand the differences between protocols, open source implementations, and specific server instances using those protocols. Only then can I help come up with a plan for how to incorporate the future state of the web information flow. Ideally we’d like to position Victus Media to utilize open message formats (Tyler’s on it).

There’s a flurry of startup interest and social location apps that are working to glue the web to our physical locations. Tech enthusiast Robert Scoble prompted a Buzz discussion (another location capable media) to determine which was the best service, with varied opinions weighing in. Physical location and orientation is but one piece of the puzzle to seemlessly weave the web within our physical world and social lives. Augmented Reality is the channel of opportunity that will enable a rich blending of mobile web, location/orientation, and most importantly social discovery and connectivity.

I’d like to make a bold wager. None of the big social web communities that are popular today will be so just ten years from now. My hypothesis is that massive improvements to network speed will reduce the pressure to colocate data. The traction we see to such tools is in communication, availability and connection to friends and those we seek to befriend. This functionality can be fascillatated better by moving away from the client/server model tied to RESTful design (how HTTP or the web is setup), and embracing peer to peer communication technologies. Federated network communications can take place without intermediary databases. There will always be a role for dedicated servers, but their dominance of attention in the future will wane as (mobile) Net participation skyrockets.

As long as I’m unwilling to face an obstacle, my mind invents clever schemes to prevent me from having to deal with undesirable tasks. That results in me treating the obstacle as a spooky animal. It also means I will miss out on any advantages of understanding the taboo subject.
