With content everywhere, the temptation is to view content as a disposable item (even though we KNOW that isn't true in large parts of the OU, where we feel obliged to write a lot of stuff from scratch...

Sort of ralated to that, I came across a new phrase today via a presentation on Yahoo Pipes: disposable applications.

That is, application that are developed with the intention that they are only used once or twice..

...such as the sort of quick app you might develop in yahoo pipes...

With content everywhere, and lego-like rapid application development environments, I too can see a blurring of content-publishing mechanism-application.

If the cotnent isnlt published in a way you can easily take ownership of it to the extent required that lets you do something with it, and if the content isn;t in a format that you can use in your favourite app, the content is essentially closed to you.

If you application doesn't read standard formats, and wonl;t release your content in the ways you want to share it, you won;t continue to use the app...

Maybe.... ;-)

Hi, Added a new value add to my blog this weekend - a news widget from www.widgetmate.com. I always wanted to show latest news for my keywords in my sidebar. It was very easy with this widget. Just a small copy paste and it was done. Great indeed.
