Lucky 7

I recently had coffee with Noel Hidalgo, whom I met via NextNY. In addition to being a cool guy, and a great guide for learning about Drupal, CoWorking and other stuff, he’s the kind of guy who believes he can go around the world on the open-source donations of friends and strangers.

Hey, who am I to argue? If I could, I’d hit 7 continents in 7 months, dive into the seven oceans, and attempt to visit the seven ancient wonders of the world. Well, I can’t but, here’s to living vicariously.

I’ve donated to Noel. Won’t you? It’s just 11.11 to let Noel roll.

You are what you feed

I’m at the Reuters and Attention Trust Open Data seminar/workshop today.
Dick from feedburner is talking about how ‘subscribers are the new publishers.’

What I’m getting from his talk is that, as everyone uses lots of services, feeds, flickr, stumble, etc. that you don’t even have to be a blogger to be a publisher. A service that aggregates what you read and what feeds you have may be enough.

People watch what Scoble reads on his Google Reader. In the future- you are what you feed… more to follow.

Buzz Metrics tool

They’re doing a demo now, looking for posts with Barack in them. Let’s see if this shows up. The tool is called “Floodgate” and it is doing real time scraping and monitoring of the net, watching tags, and showing a visual of what’s important now.
