Scripting News: Why apps are not the future
I hear it everywhere. The web is dead, apps are the future. I heard it first on the cover of Wired Magazine in March 1997 and again in August 2010. I was so impressed I added it to my blogroll, as a reminder to all that you're reading a dead medium. That was said in jest, of course. I'll keep playing here while the rest of you flirt with apps. I'll be here when you come back. I know it's going to
Scripting News: Google Yawn
I've been to so many big earth-shaking events from BigTechCo's -- today's Google thing is making me yawn, while my eyes glaze over in boredom. Here's how products like this are conceived: 1. We need to kill Facebook. 2. What will we do. 3. It can't just be Facebook. 4. No one will use that. 5. It has to be better. 6. It has to be something only we can do. 7. Some place where we have the advantage.
Scripting News: Throwing out software that works
Interesting piece with a simple point by Marco. He shows how the smartphone market was transformed in 2007 by the introduction of the iPhone. He's right that the lack of a removable battery and slots did not hinder the adoption of the iPhone. But I don't recall people saying it would be a failure because of its lack of expandability in hardware. However I do remember criticism for its lack of expa
Why iPhone is an ureliable platform (Scripting News)
Saturday, September 13, 2008 by Dave Winer. I wouldn't invest in or develop an iPhone app because Apple could decide not to approve it, and if they don't approve it you can't sell it. You can't even give it away. You don't find out if you've been approved until the last step, after you've fully invested, so you could lose, totally, if Apple says no. At first this might have seemed ridiculous if yo
A decentralized Twitter? (Scripting News)
Wednesday, January 16, 2008 by Dave Winer. Andrew Baron is a smart guy, and he's not a techy, so when he explains technical issues he does it in a way non-technical people can understand. Dembot: "If you hosted your own Twitter, just like you host your own website, you could put your twitter anywhere." Twitter is doing us a service, with its lack of stability, in illustrating the dangers of centra
Techmeme is officially a cesspool (Scripting News)
Thursday, October 4, 2007 by Dave Winer. It was intriguing for a day or two, but now it's clear that the Leaderboard was the dumbest idea ever, because now more than ever, people are gaming Techmeme so they can climb the list. Reminds me of something Ted Turner once said about how the Forbes list of richest people in the world was the worst thing ever for philanthropy. If you're super-rich, now yo
Twitter meets podcasting? (Scripting News)
Saturday, June 23, 2007 by Dave Winer. The other day I was thinking about other kinds of Twitters. The thing we like about Twitter is that you can't post a book-length story about what's going on right now, you can only do a 140-character synopsis -- "I just got on BART" or "Driving to NoobCamp." It's one of those Worse Is Better or Less Is More things we like so much about the Internet. So I star
