CEO of Five Across, helped create the electronic publishing revolution. He was one of the first employees of Adobe and wrote the first specs for EPSF, later at Apple he was responsible for iMovie and iPhoto. This is a man who has influenced the electronic publishing world tremendously, and he’s a blogger. Now consider this from he latest post on his blog:

Geek CEO: Publishing in the Age of Blogging

Der Spiegel (Google translation ..hopelessly inadequate but what can you do?) reckons there are only 50,000 German bloggers with an average of 120 new blogs being added a day…

In typical German internet reporting fashion, emphasis is placed on the supposed danger posed to companies and politicians by weblogs circulating potentially damaging information of doubtful origin and correctness in an uncontrollable manner…

You’ve got to love them.

Must read Clay Shirkey’s post on Many-to-Many:

The advantage of folksonomies isn’t that they’re better than controlled vocabularies, it’s that they’re better than nothing, because controlled vocabularies are not extensible to the majority of cases where tagging is needed.

(…)

…just because it’s better to have well-designed metadata along one axis does not mean that it is better along all axes, and the axis of cost, in particular, will trump any other advantage as it grows larger. And the cost of tagging large systems rigorously is crippling, so fantasies of using controlled metadata in environments like Flickr are really fantasies of users suddenly deciding to become disciples of information architecture.

When General Motors starts blogging… you can be sure that the day when every product has its own weblog draws closer..

Case in point: GM FastLane Blog

Companies start blogging for sales, dialogue

A very suspect switch…

… it’s become apparent that my logic was flawed.

My impression is that his logic is more flawed than ever…

He speaks of the “modern desktop experience” of KDE being “quite more usable in many respects than Mac OS X” because he doesn’t have to grab “for the damned mouse nearly as often”… while in the comments section he has to admit to not knowing about full keyboard access on OS X, nor where to activate it….

A geek who hasn’t even checked his System Preferences? You’ve got to be joking.

Sorry Jeremy, I don’t buy it.

Richard Koman of O’Reilly Developer Weblogs asks:

Are Blogs the New Journalism ?

This blogging thing is starting to look interesting.

You better believe it!
