One of the best things about Flickr is the longevity of its APIs… and that tools like BigHugeLabs' FlickrDNA still work!

"I strongly suspect the only reason #Mastodon hasn’t been eaten alive by LLM #spambots is because we’re just not big enough to be lucrative. But those economics are shifting, and even obscure ecological niches can be worth filling."

This is it, folks, the final post of my Web 2.0 memoir. Thanks for reading over the past 14 months and please consider buying the book. -> After leaving ReadWriteWeb in October 2012, it becomes apparent that the Web 2.0 era is over. I reflect on what the Web 2.0 bubble meant and how the internet industry continues to evolve. https://cybercultural.com/p/067-end-of-web20/ #InternetHistory #Web20
In early December 2011, I travel to San Francisco for due diligence with SAY Media as it prepares to acquire ReadWriteWeb. Then, on the 14th, the transaction goes through and I no longer own RWW. (part 065 of my Web 2.0 memoir, which completes the 20 chapters! Just 2 more posts to go, for the book's epilogue) https://cybercultural.com/p/065-selling-readwriteweb/ #InternetHistory #Web20
The day after the final Web 2.0 Summit closes in October 2011, Sean and I visit the SAY Media office in San Francisco to meet its CEO. In the days after, SAY presents an offer to acquire ReadWriteWeb. (part 064 of my Web 2.0 memoir) https://cybercultural.com/p/064-saymedia-offer-for-readwriteweb/ #InternetHistory #Web20
In October 2011 in San Francisco, I attend what turns out to be the last ever Web 2.0 conference. During the event, my COO Sean and I meet with 5 potential acquirers for ReadWriteWeb. (part 063 of my serialized Web 2.0 memoir; and the start of the final chapter!) https://cybercultural.com/p/063-the-last-web20-conference-2011/ #InternetHistory #Web20
As we near the conclusion of my Web 2.0 memoir, we're now in the second half of 2011...and it's tough times for ReadWriteWeb. I worry about my relationship with Marshall, as I try to manage ructions within the writing team. It goes from bad to worse when several of our writers get poached by tech blog competitors. https://cybercultural.com/p/061-blog-business-pressure/ #InternetHistory #Web20
ReadWriteWeb's two-day conference in the summer of 2011 in New York City has amazing presenters and content, but attendance is disappointing and we lose money. After, there is a difficult face-to-face meeting and we part ways with another community manager. https://cybercultural.com/p/060-rww-2way-summit-nyc-2011/ #InternetHistory #Web20
In this instalment of 'Bubble Blog', my Web 2.0 memoir: It's mid-2011 and our writer woes are not getting better. It’s impacting page view numbers and social media referral traffic is also a concern. It prompts me to decide on a drastic strategy shift for ReadWriteWeb. https://cybercultural.com/p/059-editorial-pivot/ #InternetHistory #Web20
I senaste numret av tidskriften Fokus funderar Claes-Magnus Berg på flanerandets sköna konst. Med utgångspunkt i Walter Benjamins och Charles Baudelaires syn på det klassiska flanerandet som en upptäcktsresa i både samhälle och själ, uppmuntrar han oss att göra motstånd mot algoritmerna och återerövra det digitala flanerande som karaktäriserade nätet innan #web20 Genom den decentraliserade webben som kanske väntar runt hörnet ser han en chans till just detta.
Reading a book (2020) about #HR which explains carefully what is “Web 2.0” makes me wonder if
- HR folks are really perceived as not knowledgeable about what’s been going on in the internet since 10 years OR
- is it my personal bias telling it was truly old news when the book was updated the last time?
IDK. But I feel like to book thinks I’m stupid

During my trip to SXSW in March 2011, I catch up with a couple of ReadWriteWeb writers — one of them quite angry. Then when I get back home, I start thinking about big changes to our company. I was having a crisis of confidence and wanted to transition out of the CEO role, so that I could focus fully on editorial. https://cybercultural.com/p/058-readwriteweb-ceo-dilemma/ #InternetHistory #Web20
Team ReadWriteWeb attends SXSW 2011 in Austin. We host a BBQ for our sponsors, I meet Sarah and Seamus for the first time, and the RWW management team addresses writer concerns. (part 057 of my Web 2.0 memoir) https://cybercultural.com/p/057-sxsw-2011/ #InternetHistory #Web20 #Serialization
In June 2010, I make my first trip to Portland, Oregon, where many of our ReadWriteWeb crew live. On a coworking day at a local cafe, I negotiate a tricky staff problem and also get to know the team better. (Note: this post is dedicated to ex-RWWer Curt Hopkins, who sadly passed away in February this year at age 60) https://cybercultural.com/p/052-ricmac-in-portland-2010/ #InternetHistory #Web20
Remember when we thought Twitter was the key to democracy? It's March 2010 and the Paley Center hosts an event in NYC starring Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, and your humble RWW editor. We're discussing the future of democracy. https://cybercultural.com/p/046-ai-weiwei-event-march-2010/ #InternetHistory #Web20 #Democracy
The social web went mainstream in 2009, with everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Ashton Kutcher on Twitter — including via iPhone or Android apps. But Web 2.0 capitalism was also ramping up, with "content farms" overtaking blogs and Facebook acquiring FriendFeed. https://cybercultural.com/p/internet-2009/ #InternetHistory #Web20
It's March 2010 and I attend SXSW for the first time, including a concert ReadWriteWeb co-hosts with PBS and other US media luminaries. The question is: will we get into our own party? https://cybercultural.com/p/045-sxsw-2010/ #InternetHistory #Web20 #SXSW
