“News Ninjas” and Cryptic Twitter Posts

A few days ago I tweeted that I was building a team of News Ninjas and was looking for candidates with a good mix of news (newspaper or broadcast) and technology capabilities. That was sufficiently cryptic to generate a few questions – now I’ll try to give a few answers.

Why OpenCalais?

(Re-purposing a post of mine from www.opencalais.com)

Over the last few months you’ve probably seen a number of announcements about how OpenCalais has been chosen by one organization or another to support its business.

OpenPublish; Deploy a high performance (semantic) web site in hours – not months.

A week ago or so our partner – Phase2Technology – announced the release of OpenPublish. The dust has settled from DrupalCon a bit and I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about what OpenPublish is and why it is very very important.

Developers! Developers! Developers!

What is Web 3.0?

After participating in yet another “What is Web 3.0″ panel I decided to strip my answer down to Twitterable size. Here it is:

Web 2.0 created a problem – overwhelming content overload. Web 3.0′s job is solve that problem. That’s it.
