article submission for GWN

I had read the previous GWN, and the request for help summarizing topics sounded interesting. A couple days later while browsing the forums, I decided to start reading a long thread. By page 3 I knew that I had something to try writing about. With my eyes already straining, the already heavily discussed ideas of possible political systems of relationships between those related in how Gentoo “lives” began to seem petty. After reading the entire thread, and numerous other pieces to the discussion at hand a trend was forming. I know it is not a 50 to 250 word summary, but that would be quite difficult to do. It’s more of an essay of how I see things, and partial summaries of how others view the current state.

Attached is something I would like to submit for the GWN. I’m not much of a writer, and I’m sure it could use some editing, but I feel it’s subject is quite important.

Jyte enhances boredom.

I found this new web thing called Jyte yesterday, it’s pretty neat, and uses OpenID for it’s authentication system, so pretty much anyone can use it. To see a somewhat real-time status of what’s going on visit the spy.
Login to Jyte, and start creating claims, vote on others’ claims, give them credibility if they deserve it, and even join a group.

The single most important activity on the internet hasn’t been developed yet.
If you can’t say anything nice you should claim it on Jyte. Jyte enhances boredom.

cool stuff.

I learned about PeopleAggregator earlier today after reading Dave Winer’s post. I signed up using my OpenID, which is great. I like the fact that you can use OpenID with it and being able to intergrate my feeds from, flickr, del.icio.us into new things is fun.

I might just be weird, but I also don’t care to see AT&T logos left and right, it just feels weird when the EFF logo is on the same page. The interface/layout could be simpler, as it seems too busy to me, too many widgets, contrasting colors, and background images in tables. A bit of an information overload.

I’d also like to see a shorter URL to the “My Public Page”

http://www.peopleaggregator.net/user.php?tier_one=mypage&tier_two=public_page&uid=1526

Another cool thing I found today is OutputThis! It allows you to route your posts to multiple xmlrpc locations, for cross-posting, and other xml trickery. PeopleAggregator uses OutputThis to cross post content to your own blog. Although I don’t think it worked right, but it is in beta. :)
