On the positive side you do look more distinguised.
How did they get hold of your father’s picture?

I just read about your dispute with Tim O’ Reilly. Itr is really despicable of them. I suggest we ditch the term “Web 2.0″ altogether.

The subeditor who marks up the galley space details the photo requirements for a gofer who normally uses a hit that surfaces when quering the Examiner photo archive. If your dad shares your name, his image will subordinate yours on a simple search. Your shots didn’t hit the archive at galley time–happens a lot with Irish papers–and the print run shows dad instead of son.

Funny, how did they end up with a picture of your father though that is what I don’t understand.

After some further reading on the topic apparently 2.5 or 3.0 or anything like that can’t be used either as the copywrite extends to 10 numbers away from the actual specific copyrighted one, that what I read anyhow.

Living now for some time in Madrid … God I miss the The Examiner.

Not just for the mix up with the photo but for the “Tim O’Reilly, a Corkman”. When did he leave … age 1 or something???

Well done on blogging the letter … I am surprised and disappointed at the reaction of both Tim and Cory.

But pleased that you have stood your ground and vehemently so!

Good luck with the conf (y enhorabuena on the nino)

Today’s prize goes to the person that can guess the commentor that didn’t read all the other Web 2.0 articles on Tom’s blog, or any other techies blogs for two weeks?

Jokers. But you’re better off if it was going to be one of those horribly cliched man-with-a-laptop shots!

The whole WEB 2.0 is getting old. Maybe it’s time to patent WEB 2.5 or WEB 3.0 or WEB x.~ ?

“Web of controversy”, do you see what they did there aren’t they clever.

Honest to god, where do they get their journalists, primary skool?
