Make Digital Preservation Easier
If major companies think it’s too hard or costly to leave up user-generated content, perhaps we need to change the motivations.
Historic Digital Places
Corporate motivation isn’t enough when it comes to digital preservation. Here’s a case for creating a National Register of Historic Places for websites.
How To Checkmate Yourself
The parlor games hosted by Yahoo! once represented some of the internet’s best efforts at interactivity. But that didn’t last. Here’s how Yahoo! Games lost.
Why I think Marissa Mayer should buy Automattic
PandoDaily reports that Yahoo! has sold half its stake in Alibaba for $4.5 billion. Their take is that Yahoo! needs one or two big products to turn the company around, and that Marissa Mayer should look to successful large acquisitions like PayPal and YouTube. I agree. And I can't think of a better company for them to buy than Automattic, the company behind WordPress. For every 100 new domains names in the US, 22 of them run WordPress. Around 10% of all websites in the world run WordPress. Tho
A pretty good day for Marissa Mayer: why Yahoo! could still win
Not only was she named as the new Yahoo! CEO today - but she's also announced that she's expecting her first child. That's up there with Mark Zuckerberg's graduation-IPO-wedding triple whammy earlier this year. At the time of writing, Yahoo! is worth over $19B.

The social bookmarking site was famous for its simple interface, which introduced tags and cloud services to the world, not to mention creative use of available domain names, bookmarklets and social networking for a purpose. Its creator, Joshua Schachter, is a smart guy whose opinions about software design are worth taking seriously.
Public IT project hell: let’s make government work for us
Why does it cost $235 million to integrate a few IT systems? Johannes Ernst contrasts the Yahoo/Facebook deep integration announcement with the US government’s announcement that they will spend $235 million on integrating incompatible healthcare IT systems, and asks some pertinent questions: I assume we all agree that an environment in which leading-edge companies innovate on their own to the benefit of their customers is better than one in which the government has to spend large amounts of mo
Building the user-centered web
The following post contains my notes for a talk I gave at the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard University on June 25, 2009. What is a social network? I would like to reclaim some language: Social is an adjective that means relating to human society and its members. A network is an interconnected system of things or people. Therefore, I’d suggest that we can define a social network as just being an interconnected system of people. The audience of this talk is a social ne
