Any chance of a Skype recording tutorial?

I’m on the Mac so I use an application called WireTap Pro - it is a cinch - one click Skype recording. If you are on PC, I’m afraid I can’t help you -

I thought I had “got it” after the first interview, and - though impressed - I wondered why you were doing a second. But if the first one was informative, the second was downright exciting! Salim is right: enterprises want to be event-driven, and databases aren’t really designed for that. Also, look at the email inbox of an employee in a large organisation. 99% of it is useless to that employee, yet those who send that mail have no idea who might need the information, so they CC him just in case. For the same reasons, the employee spends hours reading emails which are of no relevance to him, but which he is afraid to delete without reading - “just in case”. So much better if people (and machines) could simply “publish” and “subscribe”. From a corporate culture point of view this would be revolutionary. Instead of the initiator of an event sending out mass mails of the “cover your ass” type, some of the responsibility gets re-distributed to those who want the information. Provided the publisher has structured the information properly it is then up to everyone else to subscribe to events which they need to know about.

Of course, as blogging becomes more structured and machine-readable, so is the opportunity increased for spam and gaming. Already we see splogs show up in Technorati searches. This isn’t a reason not to move to structured blogging, but it will be a challenge to overcome.

I’m lagging a bit behind in my listening Tom, but this is fantastic stuff! Keep it up! By the way, the sound quality is very impressive. Any chance of a Skype recording tutorial?

Thanks Tom, thanks Salim… really enjoyed the follow up. I´ll be interested to check out the launch stuff when I get back from Holidays - listened to podcast while on plane to Spain

I am particularly interested in the user interface for structured blogging now. I am having trouble visualising how it works… can users define their own feeds, if so how do we standardise structures, if not how do we cater for new categories of structured blogging etc…

Many thanks for the two enjoyable podcasts, and for asking/answering my questions!
