Structured Blogging Podcast with Marc Canter and Joe Reger, Part 2

by Joshua Porter  |   Comments

Part 2 of the podcast Alex Barnett and I had with Marc Canter and Joe Reger is now available. In it, Marc Canter riffs about OPML, the Compatibility Box approach, and calls Structured Blogging the “next era of blogging”.

Because of technical difficulties, we had to seriously edit the podcast. The original was over twice as long! As a result, this podcast is a series of conversations, sometimes with no transitions to set up context. (We tried using a multiple Skype setup, and it just didn’t work well.) So, I’ve provided a set of timed notes so that you know when you hit a new section.

  • 0:00: Lists: “one of the holes in our structured blogging thing”
  • 0:42: OPML: “technically OPML isn’t typed”
  • 1:25: “I believe there is another step, the next notch of functionality that will enable folks to do things they couldn’t do before”
  • 2:15: The Compatibility Box Approach
  • 3:10: “We’re trying to make a better world here”
  • 3:30: On Subscribing and the Future of Structured Blogging
  • 5:48: What does an Structured Blogging Aggregator find when it hits a site?
  • 6:54: “If we had it Paul Kedrosky’s way, all tools vendors would stand still and do nothing”
  • 7:11: “This is the next era of blogging”
  • 8:03: “Structured Blogging will be a non-profit”
  • 9:03: “It’s a different approach to standards-building”
  • 9:31: Users making schemas: “It’s completely out of control at that point”
  • 9:36: On Macromedia and Adobe mating
  • 11:52: Reger.com’s new OPML feature
  • 12:24: Marc’s response to Greg Yardley
  • 13:04: Marc’s citizen journalism concern
  • 13:17: On censorship (a random overdub that makes funny sense)
  • Let us know what you think!

WHAT IS SOCIAL DESIGN?

Social design is design that focuses on the social lives of users. It deals with the activities, behaviors, and motivations of people who work and play together through software interfaces. It is built on the observation that many of the decisions we make are greatly affected by those we surround ourselves with in our social lives: our family, friends, and colleagues. Exploring our motivations and how to design interfaces to support them is what the Bokardo blog is all about.
