Doc Searls Weblog

People are asking me why I blog so little these days. Fact is, I blog as much as ever. Just not all here.

For example, there’s Linux Journal. My latest there is Privacy is Personal. A good one, I think.

Then there’s the ProjectVRM blog. The best recent post there is If your voice comes from a company, you don’t have one.

But my latest there is an outline composed and published in my Liveblog. I take notes and write what I call “tweetlines” there. These show up as tweets and expand when you click on their links into outlines you can expand or collapse. The one for yesterday is here. Absent the expand/collapse feature, it’s also here…

• The only thing dumber than a big dumb company is a bigger dumb company
  • Microsoft writes down the Nokia debacle. Not only predictable, but highly predicted.
  • Worsts & Bests.
• VRM
  • Wish the Respect Network I helped launch a year ago actually worked as planned. Perhaps it still will. Some things take time. Try, retry, etc. A video.
• Wanted
  • A drone that shoots 4K video.
  • A visit to the Parker-Essen House in Graham, where I first lived when I moved back to North Carolina in 1974. It’s for sale now.
  • Dave: recognition for the coolness of Glympse. I’m a fan too. HT to Bob Frankstonfor turning me on to it.
• Privacy vs. Ickyness
  • iMore: Content blockers, bad ads, and what we’re doing about it.
  • adoolo: tracking protection.
  • Altimeter: A framework for ethical data use. That requires giving your name and other contact info — a practice I hate, though I understand it. You can also see it inthis post.
  • privacytools.io. Very good site. Lots of userul how-tos.
  • DestroyAdware.com: ” Help you Prevent and Remove Spyware, Adware, Viruses and Other Malware.”
  • When algorithms discriminate.
  • Robin Wilton on the late Caspar Bowden.
• TV vs./+ the Net
  • Deconstructing television.

… cuz I just copied and pasted it here.

And here is today’s.

Just thought I’d let you know.

The big HT goes to Dave Winer, who invented Liveblog (among many other things), and keeps improving it.

P.S. I also tweet via @dsearls @vrm and @cluetrain, among other places.
