What do you do when you have an excellent idea that might be difficult for many to grok, are creative and driven? Well, if you’re anything like Chris Messina, you come up with a self interview detailing your concept.
Nothing beats taking matters in your own hands.
From: “AOL adopting XMPP aka Jabber“:
Proprietary protocols are things from yesterday. Today, Opensource technologies are taking over the world! AOL / ICQ has just launched a test server using XMPP, an open technology. This means that you’ll soon be able to talk to your ICQ / AIM contacts via Jabber. Google has already started using it. So who’s next? MSN!
Wow, I’m getting all my wishes these days… I was semi-joking about it the other day. I guess I should do that more often! ;)
From “FBJS/Animation – Facebook Developers Wiki“:
FBJS exposes a powerful animation library which gives developers an easy way to improve their user interface with a line of two or code. All animations are CSS based, so a working knowledge of CSS will really help you out here. An open-source version of FBJS Animation that will work on pages outside of Facebook is available at: http://developers.facebook.com/animation/.

From “Read/WriteTalk: John Lilly – CEO, Mozilla“:
In the interview we review both the lessons he’s learned at Mozilla and his plans for the organization in the future. I also think many of the leaders at DataPortability.org will find his comments quite interesting.
Interesting. Very interesting!
And while I’m at it: See “New Video Explains the Basics of Data Portability“, if you’re unclear on the subject.
From Joe’s shout:
It’s 6PM on a Thursday night and I’m about ready to head over to the Open Web Awards presented by Mashables.com to celebrate Digg’s wins with a few of my fellow Diggers. The only downer is that we don’t have more Diggers to share the fruits of our labor with.
I went to San Francisco last June to meet with the Digg team, and I can certify that if you have the skills, already live in the area or are willing to move there, you MUST apply. It’s not just for show, this team really rocks!
Unfortunately (arguably), I can’t move to SF, family and all, so this one’s not for me.
