Evening Reading: 6/14/07

By on June 15, 2007 in Tech

Susan Getgood on LinkedIn and Facebook.  It seems to me that LinkedIn could own the grownup population if it would make a few tweaks and open its API.  Susan is right- it’s way too hard to find people in Facebook.  I find most of these social networks to be either chaotic or boring.  I want mine just right.  Like porridge.

Richard Querin has discovered a very useful Firefox extension. 

Seth finally got paroled from Wikipedia.  He successfully overcame the Finkelstein Paradox.  Shel Israel is happy to take his place.

If you’ve been wondering about the status of Web 2.0 in Romania, read on.

Valleywag says Scoble wants a new gig.  Scoble says he has committed to stay at PodTech “until 2008,” or stated another way, for another 6 months and 16 days.  I’m still a little bitter about getting booted from Scoble’s reading list, but blogging is blogging and life is life, and if stories like this adversely affect Scoble’s job, that’s not cool.

    Kent,I just wanted to comment on one of the many controversial observations you have here. Nobody should try to own a community. The community should own the community. There are those who are tryingf to own communities and the result will be like the factory towns where big steel or automakers owned the houses, schools, churches and set all the rules. Those townswere for the owners not the members. Oh yeah, one other thing. I am extremely happy to be in wikipedia and I have not a clue what this has to do with Seth

    Thanks for commenting Shel. Seth’s departure and your arrival are unrelated, except that they both involve Wikipedia, so I put them in the same paragraph.I extract my Evening Reading posts from my reading list and try to present them in abbreviated form. No offense was intended. I would be happy too if I was in Wikipedia.Thanks,Kent
