Would a Wiki By Any Other Name Smell As Sweet?
By leelefever on July 25, 2007 - 12:24pm.
Did you know that in a recent survey by Harris Interactive that only 16% of the online public know what a wiki is? For some, this will seem surprising. Others will say "what's a wiki?"

The Verdict: Exceeded Expectations
You're going to have to forgive me, I'm about to spew all sorts of facts and figures while at the same time stroking my ego. I fear that it will sound like bragging , but we were completely blown away by the success of the RSS in Plain English Video and I want to share.
The video was posted on April 23rd, 2007. Today is May 28th and in just over a month the video has been...
View With Comments Are You Bilingual? Subtitle Translators Needed
By leelefever on April 29, 2007 - 8:42pm.
As we had hoped, the RSS in Plain English video has been a learning experience. One important lesson has been a better recognition of the needs of non-English speakers and the hearing impaired when it comes to video.
We want the video to be useful for everyone. Thankfully, (sorry I can't remember who) Darran pointed me to the Rocketboom episode where they reveal how they are using a service called DotSub to add user-generated subtitles in multiple languages to their videos. How cool.
RSS Video - FAQs, Credits and Observations
By leelefever on April 27, 2007 - 10:30am.
Wow. That was fun. It appears that the RSS in Plain English Video is still making it's way around the Web, but the major buzz has subsided and we're ready to move on here at Common Craft. Before we do, I wanted to address some of the things that came up recently.
First, credit where credit is due. Sachi, my lovely wife and partner, came up with the idea for the paperwork format. She also did the video editing and figured out how to make it shorter. The credits in the video don't mention this fact, and she would never ask for credit - so big-ups to Sachi!
View With Comments It Snowed Today
By leelefever on April 24, 2007 - 8:08pm.
When I was a kid, growing up in North Carolina, it would snow a few times a year and before each storm, I would get very, very excited. In hopes of preparing me for potential disappointment, my Mom would always remind me "Lee, you know, it might not snow."Â We still joke about this cruel tactic.
Fast-forward 25 years and I'm still looking forward to snow. Last night, just as I posted the RSS in Plain English video , I turned to Sachi and said "I think there is a chance that this video could make waves." To which her reply was "Lee, you know, it might not snow". Cruel I tell you! Cruel!
View With Comments Trust and the Currencies of Community

James Sherrett at WorkIndustries wrote a thoughtful email in response the my post on online community currency...
My $0.02 is that to talk about communities and currencies is to mix metaphors. Currencies are more applicable to markets and networks than communities. Communities thrive on trust, which is a human element that I don't think we'll ever be able to replicate in a scalable system.

Painting Chemists and the Web Renaissance
By leelefever on January 21, 2007 - 5:50pm.
I'm always on the lookout for useful ways to describe what is happening on the web from a macro perspective. Just recently I found one courtesy of my friend and neighbor Josh Petersen of the Robot Coop. He was quoted in the book Wikinomics:
View With Comments I Want to See Your Grocery List

If I could see two things about you, I bet I could make a pretty accurate decision about how much we have in common overall.
Consider a grocery list and a music collection. If I could see those two things about you and see that we are similar in those two ways, I’d bet we’d find a host of other consistencies. I would probably like your blog.
View With Comments RSS and TiVo: How Similar
By leelefever on June 15, 2005 - 12:09pm.
Last night we had dinner with an interesting guy named John Rodsett who is a movie producer and a former professor of Sachi’s. Among other things, we talked about our mutual love of TiVo and I spent a little time talking about RSS.
