Must be a trend
I don't know why, but I'm suddenly getting numerous requests to run text advertisements on my Bare Bones Guide to HTML Website. More in the past three months, in fact, than in the previous five years.

The only explanation I can come up with is that Google is causing a huge upsurge in small-scale text advertising across the Web. Not just an increase, but a tidal wave. If so, it's a latent trend that isn't being picked up, except as it affects Google itself.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining about the added revenue!



Superconductive Relationships
Ray Ozzie: "What's incredibly exciting to me is that a confluence of factors e.g. ubiquitous computing, networking, web and RAD technologies, the state of the job market - in essence, loosely coupled systems and loosely coupled minds - have created what amounts to a petri dish for experimentation in systems for social network formation, management and interpersonal interaction. An exciting time to be exploring what may happen to social structures, to organizations and to society when the friction between our minds can be reduced to zero ... to the point where we can truly have superconductive relationships."


Carrying the open spectrum torch
I'll be speaking today at a forum on spectrum policy hosted by the FCC, State Department, and NTIA (part of the Commerce Department). There is a Webcast available at the link above. Wish me luck!
