Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #129 - Heading to Space
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded April 2, 2007) Esther Dyson was born into a fascination with space travel. Her Father, Freeman Dyson, famously explored interstellar travel propelled by nuclear explosions in the Orion Project. She spends enough time near space and has such a love of frontiers that she's started a conference on the topic. Some pre-space businesses such as Zero-G and Ecliptic are doing fine, but it's Round One for the big space ventures, which are looking to motivate investors to pony up. So far, most of the money invested is dot-com wealth. We discussed terraforming backup planets, tourists aloft, faster earth travel and political conflicts in space.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #128 - Clean Energy (Innovation)?
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded March 26, 2007) After a stint building and selling an Internet startup, Andrew Beebe jumped into clean energy. As CEO of Energy Innovations, he's getting rooftop solar concentrators to market, with commercial availability likely next year. His company is almost done installing Google's solar-power system, which will be the largest such installation anywhere. Despite steady progress and increased investment, energy R&D isn't getting any Moore's Law-scale improvements. Worse, energy policy across the US creates perverse incentives, making it hard to sell solar in the sunny states, for example. So it goes.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #127 - Video Search
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded March 19, 2007) With so many videos being uploaded to the Net and shared out through YouTube and the dozens of other video sites, Blinkx's ability to search for words inside the videos is very well timed. The company has spent much of its time closing deals with media owners, which lets them add searchable videos to their sites -- an added-value attraction to lure them away from YouTube et al. (Our apologies: the audio quality on our guest host's line during this call is poor.)
Subtitle: Think inside the video

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #126 - Addressing the Climate Challenge
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded March 12, 2007) John Holdren believes that we've reached a political tipping point on climate change, as well as a sea change in the attitudes of some major corporations toward the issue. One contribution to this change is the "drumbeat of science," which month after month sees reports that corroborate the global warming story, in fact reporting effects larger than predicted. Alas, positive feedback loops abound (reflective sea ice is melting into highly energy absorbent open water). Increasing the energy efficiency of local energy end use is one of the top solutions.
Subtitle: It's not easy being green.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #125 - Why Is Software So Hard?
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded March 5, 2007) The three years that Scott Rosenberg spent researching and writing Dreaming in Code about the Chandler project were the same period that Web 2.0 emerged and Windows struggled with Vista delays, eventually shipping it. Why do we sometimes think our project is the exception? The state of software technology at any one time is like poetic meter: if you accept it, you can build beautiful things with it; stray outside the boundaries too far and you'll have to fight your way back from the wilderness.
Subtitle: Software is difficult, but it's not. Depends on your perspective.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #124 - What Makes Stuff Stick?
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded February 26, 2007) Dan Heath and his brother's six principles of stickiness describe well what distinguishes a long-lasting urban legend from earnest but unsuccessful attempts to propagate a meme. It's a complicated business. As Dan puts it, stickiness is ethics-neutral, so you have to manage this process with moral guidelines. These ideas expand on Malcolm Gladwell's "stickiness factor" and are a good complement to aspects of persuasive technology.
Subtitle: Stickiness is ethics-neutral

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #123 - The Allure of Club Penguin
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded February 23, 2007) Our small posse of kids between six and 12 helped make our tour of Club Penguin informative and surprising. We've heard of Chinese "gold farms" where low-wage workers level-up World of Warcraft avatars for sale online, but your fourth-grade classmate offering to play your character a while, for money? News to us. Some of the conversation made us all realize that we'd better instill great judgment in our kids, fast.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #122 - Issues in India
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded February 20, 2007) India's tech business is growing 35% a year, but the number of university grads grows only 10-11%. That math forces India's firms, schools and Government to take novel approaches. Already we're seeing some flips, with growing innovation (the US seen as the "front office" for stuff created in India) and many expats returning to spend considerable time in India.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #121 - Catalyzing Global Change - Part One
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded February 12, 2007) Jennifer Corriero is the founder of TakingITGlobal, which helps catalyze youth around the world to action on important issues. Sites like TIG may be better places to grow critical thinking skills than schools and universities, which have some work to do to catch up with how the world has changed. Jen's challenge: think about how young people are involved in your organization.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #120 - The View from Dubai
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded February 5, 2007) Shezan Amiji has started a newspaper in a country that hasn't had a new one in decades: the UAE. Outflanking the existing duopoly with talk radio and ways to connect his audience to the paper and online products, Amiji is taking advantage of the flourishing Emirati ad market.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #119 - Social Search
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded January 29, 2007) As we try to keep from drowning in email, feeds and YouTube videos, we create a rich variety of survival strategies. Feed aggregators and "reblogging" (see the "share" feature in Google Reader for an example) are one way; digg and other sites with socially aggregated results are another. Don't we all follow personal emails first?

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #118 - The View from CES 2007
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded January 22, 2007) There was plenty going on at CES this year, but Steve Jobs upstaged it nonetheless by debuting the iPhone elsewhere. Back at CES, flat-panel displays continue their battle to get bigger and cheaper, games were everywhere and next-gen cellphones multiplied endlessly.
Subtitle: The looming shadow of iPhone

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #117 - WiMax WiFi-N and More
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded January 16, 2007) Wireless expert Dewayne Hendricks started us off with a picaresque description: WiFi is the tool of the Rebel Alliance; WiMax is the choice of Vader and his cronies. Provocative, but when you see how the standards are designed and where they are headed, it's not so far off. All these specs are more flexible than "standard" would convey. Groups are going farther and faster all the time. Want to see the bleeding edge? Visit Dartmouth, which has gone all-wireless.

Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded January 8, 2007) Aaargh! A lovely call was interrupted by conference-call gremlins, who made our voices so unintelligible that we closed the call down. Rescheduled for call 119.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #115 - Top Five Events of 2007
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded January 2, 2007) Who will buy Yahoo? Microsoft? AOL? Looks like Wii is in for a strong ride, as is green energy. (Green is the new black.) Second Life still needs to be easier, as does roaming across WiFi networks. Will those happen in 07 or 09? The end of 06 also seemed to bring a tsunami of spam. With luck, that and identity issues will all be worked out in 07.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #114 - Games and Digital Natives
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded December 18, 2006) Marc Prensky saw that corporate training was boring, and made a career turning it into a game. Among the insights: you have to give people a non-game alternative (or it's not a game); games sometimes bring out the power dynamics in a company; there aren't many $1mm corporate training problems; casual and informal games may lead the category; and WoW (Worlds of Warcraft) is the new golf.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #113 - From Spiders to Starfish
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded December 11, 2006) Starfish regenerate, while spiders break. It isn't that starfish organizations are leaderless, as the book's subtitle says, but rather that they are differently led. "Catalysts" and "champions" with less ego and more drive make these organizations thrive amid communities and with different conceptions of property. In fact, one way to corrupt starfish is to give them property selectively (RIP the Apache tribes). Great food for thought.
Subtitle: In search of the elusive hybrid business model
Keywords/Tags: Michalski, Coburn, Yi-Tan, starfish, spiders, business, Ori Brafman, commons

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #112 - Why Google Wins
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded December 4, 2006) While Yahoo tries to integrate its silos and stake out turf as the new media company, Google has taken the orthogonal approach: do everything else. Get in front of media (how people find it), behind it (how they pay for it and analyze it) and link all the pieces together. With Al Chang we explored the way Google is exploiting its position and marveled at how hard it will be for others to create similar advantages.
Subtitle: Google's awash in virtuous cycles that improve it's position.
Keywords/Tags: Michalski, Coburn, Yi-Tan, Al Chang, Google, AdSense, Checkout, strategy

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #111 - Second Life and Beyond
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded November 27, 2006) With Second Life's ceo Philip Rosedale as our guest, we heard tales of early alien abductions (inside SL), truthful business meetings and other social and commercial changes afoot now. Questions from participants took us into the use of SL for training, how to improve the initial user experience and how to make the financial numbers inside SL more reliable (the latter Q from Reuters' SL reporter!). At the end, we talked about the protocols that will have to be in place to enable interoperability across online spaces.
Subtitle: More truth, faster business cycles: tastes of life online.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #110 - Open Phones at Last
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded November 20, 2006) We've lived with ringing phones, voicemail and callerID as they are for so long that it's hard to imagine the many services that would arise if phones were more open, but this call illustrated what's possible. Between open software like Asterisk and OpenMoko, many vendors are busy trying to crack the code that carriers hold so close, stifling innovation. it's applications, not technology, that will drive this trend. For starters, imagine a dedicated security phone with abundant special features.
Subtitle: A new wave of innovation is on its way as phones open up.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #109 - Wow Wii
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded November 13, 2006) By making motion, position and acceleration available to game design, Nintendo's Wii promises to change the gaming landscape in beneficial ways. The old race is for more polygons, greater realism and more plot twists. The new game is for verisimilitude in participation. Would you rather play golf with a mouse, or golf with a club? Even better, Wii's price point is easy: would you like Wii with that?
Subtitle: It's a whole new game now.
Keywords/Tags: Michalski, Coburn, Yi-Tan,

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #108 - Fun Technologies
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded November 6, 2006) What technologies do you find fun? We started with TV-enhancing goodies like DVRs and Slingbox, then headed to mobile apps with GPS and mapping. With a few wistful glances at old fun technologies, we generalized some principles (multiple contexts, creative expression), and headed toward Flickr and social tagging. The best of these offer spiritual refreshment, says Al Chang. Amen!
Subtitle: What apps and gadgets have brought you joy? Why?
Keywords/Tags: Michalski, Coburn, Yi-Tan, technology, fun

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #107 - Oracle to Red Hat - Boo!
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded October 30, 2006) As Linux makes inroads into corporate IT, more companies are willing to pay for enterprise-grade support. Though Red Hat hasn't been that clever at taking advantage of business opportunities, it is still in the drivers' seat in the new Oracle deal, and it has many software components that are not part of its open offer. Value there. Is this really an Oracle bid against Microsoft? Likely.
Subtitle: Who can make less on service?
Keywords/Tags: Michalski, Coburn, Yi-Tan, Oracle, Red Hat, Linux, open source

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #106 - Learning from Mavericks
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded October 23, 2006) Cranium, Cirque de Soleil and others innovate by pushing the edge between brilliance and nuttiness. Polly LaBarre, co-author of Mavericks at Work, talks about strategic advocacy, power shifts and disruptive points of view. In the new business models, the power to persuade is worth more than the power of position as a gatekeeper or exclusive content holder. Onward, mavericks!
Subtitle: Does innovation take intellectual humility? Bah!

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #105 - Tellme More
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded October 16, 2006) Tellme's CEO Mike McCue joins us to describe the future of a voice platform. Accompanied by an accidental Vivaldi soundtrack (someone's hold music), he talked about the ways functionality might grow in his application space.
Subtitle: The goal: Just say it to get it.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #104 - Burning Man and the Gift Economy
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded October 9, 2006) Around Labor Day, some 40,000 people came together in the middle of an inhospitable desert to create a temporary city -- in which you can't buy or sell anything. Learning how gift economies work and what fuels generalized reciprocity could have huge lessons for the commercial economy. We're already seeing some of it in "crowdsourcing" and the "architecture of participation". That's just the start.
Subtitle: What's life like in a post-scarcity world?

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #103 - Internet Giants - Who Wins?
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded October 2, 2006) Microsoft and Google are building data centers large enough to hold just about everything. Who can follow? Has Google established enough beneficial feedback that it is impossible to catch? Yahoo's ad weakness seems to be just Yahoo's, not generalized. Is the old model out of runway? Will it be killed by the low natural costs of most services?
Subtitle: What wins: Walled gardens, open commons or something in between?

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #101 - Real Life in Second Life
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded September 18, 2006) You can buy real estate in Second Life, as well as dance moves for your avatar, nice outfits and much much more. While we're busy palavering about the potential long-term social impacts, clever folks are busy experimenting in SL, and some are making money. At roughly 300 Linden Dollars to a real Buck, SL is minting money.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #100 - Prospective Retrospective
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded September 11, 2006) After Esme Vos reported that muni wireless remains a US phenomenon, we focused mostly on civil discourse in the large, catalyzed at first by Howard Greenstein's question, "Are we really safer?" We avoided that topic, skirting it instead to wonder whether real dialogue was scalable, or whether it inevitably degrades into duologues: two concurrent but disconnected monologues. We aspired, though, to thoughtfulness in the large.
Subtitle: Looking ahead to better civil discourse
Keywords/Tags: Michalski, Coburn, Yi-Tan, anniversary, discourse, online

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #99 - Informal Learners Everywhere, part 2
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded August 28, 2006) Although companies are still running "perkshops," many are learning that they need to nurture the informal networks and workshops in which their employees actually learn stuff. These guerilla learning strategies can be as simple as a gumball machine to lure passers-by into conversations, a map instead of a white paper or dumping cubicles in favor of sofas and more convivial furniture. Pair programming, a practice spreading from software development to many other fields, also helps.
Subtitle: No more "perkshops," teach one another!

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #98 - Informal Learners Everywhere
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded August 21, 2006) Formal learning is like a bus on a route: it follows its sequence of stops, with little chance for variability. Informal learning is more like a bike ride: you can stop for detours, to help others and more. It's not a matter of either/or, but rather both/and. The question is how corporations go about incorporating and nurturing the informal side. Creating a culture of trust seems to be a major element.
Subtitle: Building cultures of trust
Keywords/Tags: Michalski, Coburn, Yi-Tan, Jay Cross, informal learning, education, trust

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #97 - New Ways to Advertise, Part 2
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded August 14, 2006) Mary Hodder took us quickly in a great direction by describing how people are now making their own ads and how-to videos, then asking whether the ad model is being flipped on its head now. We also spent time talking about the other end of the spectrum: why do movies get so close to pissing us off with high prices and ever-increasing ads? Why cross the Irritation Threshhold? In between, Jesse Engle described his company's interactive product placements.
Subtitle: Are we flipping the ad model?

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #96 - New Ways to Advertise
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded August 7, 2006) Over light (accidental) hold music, our four guests described audio, gaming, grassroots and streaming forms of advertisement, naming just about every medium imaginable. Big companies can play in all these, but a crisis is brewing for smaller ones, who see their market dissolving away. Customers are hit over the head with messages with increasing frequency as marketers' frequency measures drop. Not a fun game, but a growing one, to serve the long tail.
Subtitle: To avoid crossing the irritation threshhold, connect!

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #95 - China Update
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded July 31, 2006) Dave Bujnowski's just back from China, which he reports has the buzz and energy of Silicon Valley. China's relative openness is also a surprise. It seems that keeping GDP growing plays a vital role in more decisions, from balancing development and the environment, IP protection and piracy, or censorship and openness. Yet there aren't yet any must-have Chinese goods for the West, or any big markets for US goods in China. Innovation is happening there, but slowly.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #94 - YouTube Eats The Tube
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded July 24, 2006) Jonathan Coulton's fans are remixing his songs into music videos and posting them on YouTube. He loves it: business is up. News may be changing, too. Why wait for a news segment to air on TV? Find just the piece you want. Posting to YouTube is easy; the perceived pain of adoption is low. Add great viral design and something important is happening here.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #93 - Google Checkout and Payment Systems
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded July 17, 2006) Google's new Checkout feature brings something similar to Amazon's one-click ordering to medium and small merchants. Perhaps more interesting, adding Checkout data to AdSense and other info Google has could create some compelling benefits for the company. Customers might like it merely for the way it will keep you from getting merchant spam. Nice.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #92 - Network Visualization
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded July 10, 2006) Valdis Krebs has been making network connections visible for a long time. It started with mapping relationships inside organizations and now includes relationships between companies across industries, among animals and more. Teasing apart the formal, informal, expert and word-of-mouth networks can be a challenge, as can figuring out what to do with what you learn.

Name of the call: Yi-Tan Tech Community Call #91 - A Neutral Net, Part 3
Author: Jerry Michalski and Pip Coburn
Description: (Recorded June 26, 2006) The players in net neutrality keep jockeying for position. Carriers want their investments paid for. Citizens want the Net to stay Net-like, not head toward cable TV. And legislation keeps coming up.
Subtitle: Another chapter of neutrality
