As you may have noticed, this blog has been reloaded. Content has been reorganized, new features -- namely a virtual currency -- have been installed, and the design has been tweaked. It's not just a blog anymore; it's an ActoWorld.
I hope it is clear how the ActoWorld reflects many of the...

Meme of the week. OpenSocial stole the spotlight, and rightfully so. Lots of great commentary on this; check out our section on OpenSocial for the goods. This is so promising; for once I feel the hype is worth it. Haters will hate, but if this is done properly, it will create tons of value for...

Be sure to check out Marc Andreessen's explanation and Dave Winer's commentary.
One key point I want to make is that clearly the social networking technology -- and thus, much of the technology to create social graphs -- is being commoditized. Value strategies in creating social graphs will...

Intuitively, many people sense that the Internet is simply about creating a new world -- one that mirrors our existing world. Think of it as inverting the universe.
As we noted in Unplugging from the American Matrix, our existing world is one in which central banks have all the power. The...

Important News Item #1 of the Week: Microsoft invests in Facebook. I don't really think this will result in anything particularly interesting on the web, as I don't think MSFT or Facebook is particularly interesting on the web. Although I do think if you take Microsoft's hardware, toss in a few...

Apple no longer allowing cash payment for the iPhone.
They don't want unauthorized resellers is the reason they give. So they need to track you.
Apple needs user information -- but it needs user information in order to turn the iPhone into a fully personalized device. And that is the...

I been thinking about the changing face of global finance.
For instance, we see the US dollar falling, we see the world selling off US dollars, and we see supranational government bureaus talking about a dollar calamity.
For investors holding assets backed in US dollars (i.e. real estate...

Meme of the Week. Blog Action Day (BAD). Man this was awful. I'm going to blog more about how awful it was, how lame the fear-o-sphere is, and what we can do to change it. Don't worry, I'll make it business related so even if you are passionately apathetic about stuff like this you'll still get...

Check this out. The Ron Paul campaign has decided to open up their data, and now developers like this guy are using that data to make applications.
Who needs campaign money when you have a passionate user base that does everything for you?
Here's the point: eventually, someone's going...

I wanted to give you all an update on the ActoNetwork, the business network I am working to establish.
The idea is to build niche social networks.
You mean like Ning?
Sort of. But not really. Ning is more about creating machine intelligence. My focus is on human intelligence.

Today is Blog Action Day (BAD). It's a day when bloggers are supposed to unite to "talk about the environment."
It's become quite popular. There are many bloggers participating.
A venture can only find user adoption if it has a compelling value proposal and if it's easy enough to do. ...
