I certainly agree with Steve Gillmor in his criticism of Dare Obasanjo’s attack on the OWF. I think the OWF is getting real work done. Not clear why Dare is acting like such a curmudgeon - but I hope he stops it.
And I really like it that Dave Winer is giving advice to Chris Messina. I’d love to get the two of them together around a Hookah or dancing girls. Steve has been doing a great job of facilitating the right conversations!
Kim Cameron brings up the importance of having an “identity selector”. The meta-identity system is growing BTW. Thank you to Kim for that! And the Infortmation card geeks.
Breadth is what allows us, as an industry, to create “one identity model” in terms of application development, deployment and most important, user experience.
Congrats to Joseph and John and the geeks at Plaxo on FanPages!

Here is a recording of the speech I gave in Rotterdam at EMERCE eDay ‘08. The recording is a bit disconcerting as the cameraman never turns towards the sldies - which is what I’m talking about and bouncing off of.
The night before they had a dinner at the Rotterdam City Hall (which is significant because it is the ONLY building left standing after the Nazi bombardment during the war) so I gave a short pitch on my book and what I was going to say the next day.

Congrats to Hooman and Ted on buying AddThis. Now you’ve got 20B views with no revenue model. Good luck on the ad thing.
Socialtext 3.0 looks to be a dashboard, social based mashup kit that works with Signals (a Twitter clone) and provides a wiki platform for custom taxonomies, private corporate communication and other “inside the Firewall” goodness. Congrats to Ross and Pete on this one. It’s a pure play open mesh platform!
Fred Wilson confirms that he’ll continue to pour money into his ventures and play the VC game while the rest of the world - burns. But if startups were based upon solid business models which generate cash flow positive results then they woudln’t be stuck sucking on the tit of their VCs. IMHO.
