Perhaps a little late to the party but drinking from the web fire hose now that I’m in Hong Kong vs China.

I’d agree w/ both Mike + Kamiobi on their respective opinions.

You could always try to crowd source a new brand name.

Ari, two reasons. First, the two stations don’t both play the same things,much less at the same times. Second, I live in Santa Barbara as well as Boston, and I like to hear what’s going on out there too. That’s why I tuned in.

In fact I listen to hundreds of different stations in any case.

…which begs two questions:

1. How come you were listening to KCLU and not WBUR, when both NPR affiliates allegedly play the same things at the same, or near similar, times?

2. Is WBUR in the same metadata arena as KCLU?

Find a better one, kamiobi, and maybe it’ll have a chance. I happen to like it.

I like the concept of the EmanciPay, but I think you need to come up with a better name.

Metadata is a way to explicitly preserve context. It’s missing context, or re-establishing it through re-mynizing (a neologism, possibly mis-spelt meaning to de-anonymize).

Google’s new “wave” is all about keeping context by allowing multiple independent streams to flow into (and from) a given document, which is really a context.

It’ll be interesting to co-write a blog with someone once the tools come out later this year.
