“This is a weblog dealing with Web 2.0, and issues of openness, control, trust, authencity, and whatever else deemed relevant. The ‘sandbox’ is a metaphor for this space where information, people, and tools interact in this spirit of openness and freedom.” (Peter Merholz)

“This is my new site. It will slowly include these other sites of mine (…). If you are looking for something specific, chances are it is still at one of those other sites.” (Keith Instone)

“The underlying hardware and software will never become invisible, but they will become less obtrusive, allowing us to focus our attention on the actual information being conveyed. Eventually, living in a world of continuous computing will be like wearing eyeglasses: the rims are always visible, but the wearer forgets she has them on—even though they’re the only things making the world clear.” (Wade Roush – Continuous Computing)

“(…) I’m going to experiment with something completely new in the next few days: Podcasting. Stay tuned.” (Dirk Knemeyer)

“It is just a name. It is just a game. It is fun to use the board to lay out the Blogosphere Ecosystem. It helps me to think and learn about blogging culture by transforming the original game into this version. I had to think about which company and enterprise to choose and set up first on the board. The space is limited, so I picked well known names in blogging industry. Besides the private properties, there are two public utilities — the water works and the electric company. (…) There is not much difference for me transforming the game than writing a poem, using similes, metaphors and symbols.” – (littleoslo) courtesy of thomas garrood

“Information architecture, user experience design, and the new architecture of business.” (Austin Govella)

“Blogging offers the enticing prospect of a new journalism which is more participatory, more responsive and essentially open to anyone who has something to say. Yet, the process of creating blogs that are rich with quality journalism is also a commercial challenge; one that will re-shape the blogosphere as we move out of an initial period of amateur enthusiasm to create a more mature and sustainable medium.” (Trevor Cook) – courtesy of mark bernstein

“The advantage of folksonomies isn’t that they’re better than controlled vocabularies, it’s that they’re better than nothing, because controlled vocabularies are not extensible to the majority of cases where tagging is needed.” (Clay Shirky et al.)

“Basically I have four sections. I’ll talk a wee bit about what constitutes a community. I’m going to rant and rave against the concept of the long tail. I’m going to explore Wittgensteinian theories of meaning. I’m going to talk about distributed network semantics. Now this may sound like it has nothing to do with community, but my intent here is to try to reframe your thoughts on what community is, what community on the web is, and what a community of bloggers is.” (Stephen Downes) – courtesy of petervandijck

“The Bloggies are a set of 30 publicly-chosen awards given to weblog writers and those related to weblogs. This is the fifth ceremony (…)”
