Hail the Internet Hall of Fame!

The Internet Society will be announcing the first inductees to the Internet Hall of Fame in April. We’re betting Jimmy Wales won’t be among them.

Kim, despite your skepticism, Al Gore was among the inductees in this week's celebration of the Internet Hall of Fame in Geneva.

Stand by for my own report on this tomorrow.

Great observation, Kim! I'm betting that whoever asked Wales to be a judge is very pleased with him/herself. This gives Wales some recognition as a big shot without having to make him officially a a Hall of Famer.

Recall, though, that if this honor keeps renewing itself annually. Wales will get in eventually. In the Rock 'n Roll HoF, there's a place for everybody ultimately, even people who don't play rock 'n roll. So there's plenty of time for Wales to be added once his tenure is done and people cease to care who gets in.

Aw, vblogger's remorse? I know it well.

His placement on the advisory board made me laugh. I suppose this Hall of Fame will include the expected folk -- those you name, probably Biz Stone (groan), Markie Z. I doubt we'll see many surprises.

That was pretty mean.  Should I feel bad now?

But please let me know who you think should be inducted.

Argument Over Top-Level Domains Is 'Stupid'

The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.

M2M: Rise of the Machines? Not Yet
David Weldon
In the 1970 science fiction thriller
Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.
