"As an innovation leader, it is your job to ensure that your organization has explicit norms that enable your people to do deep work." Meeting culture is one place they often fall down – this is a great way to better support your teams.

The hits keep comin! ;-)

Neat cups at Communion Coffee with the Richardson water tower and skyline.

As promised here is another test post. I will now add another sentence to the post...

The new Nostr-based video app Devine also includes an archive of original Vine videos. Rabble spoke to TechCrunch about it:

“So basically, I’m like, can we do something that’s kind of nostalgic?” he told TechCrunch. “Can we do something that takes us back, that lets us see those old things, but also lets us see an era of social media where you could either have control of your algorithms, or you could choose who you follow, and it’s just your feed, and where you know that it’s a real person that recorded the video?”

"As generative AI content starts to fill our social apps, a project to bring back Vine’s six-second looping videos is launching with Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey’s backing."

You will probably see a series of test posts here, as the day goes on.

Good morning. I like how things are going in FeedLand and WordLand today. The dots are starting to connect.

Hanging out with Coco.

On the ground floor of the Musee de l’Orangerie in Paris – a long building by the river banks of the Seine, and at the start of the Jardin des Tuileries – there is an exhibit of eight Monet paintings. The museum website introduces the paintings like so: Offered to the French ...

Michael Tsai blogging about the Apple-funded study on DMA fallout:

Now Apple is acting as though it and end users are the only parties that matter, so by implication the money must have been wasted. There’s no consideration that maybe these funds helped some developers stay in business or invest more in the products, both of which would be beneficial to the platform as a whole (including Apple).

A short podcast about Sarah Kendzior being banned from Bluesky, and why this shouldn't be like any other such event.

We should learn, that systems like Bluesky depend on moderation, and they don't have a clear business model, and they've grown very large, and they can't afford to hire moderators who understand the difference between a line from a powerful song, and a threat.

If we want a literate web, and I desperately want that myself, it has to be made in a different way.

That's what this short podcast is about.

And to Sarah, if you hear this, I love your work. You've done here what you usually do so well, you've shown us the truth. Keep on truckin! Dave Winer
