October 30th, 2007 — Experiences
Today I was caught by the traffic police for taking a U turn at the North Bridge. Why dont the buggers put a sign there saying that U turns are not allowed.
I could have crossed the road from where I started, but I drove up to the bridge and took the U turn so that I dont obstruct any traffic. These fellows were hiding somewhere and they showed up the instant I took the turn. Really sick police.
My good nature cost me 100 bucks. I hope that they will use that money to put a sign there.

October 29th, 2007 — Web 3.0
For the last few weeks Ive been reading a lot about the semantic web and web 3.0. Stuff looks complicated and there are many opinions and ideas. This is what I could make out of it.
When the microformats become more and more popular specialized search will be there for such items. Everyone will publish contact information in their websites are a Vcard. So Search engines can crawl and index them.
Google might add a “Contact search” to their search button. The end result is that If someone searches for “CEO Mobme” in google contact search, Sanjays contacts information will be show up.
With the events microformats, if I search “events trivandrum today”, all the different events that are happening in trivandrum city today will show up.
Similarly all sorts of structured information can be put on the web and the semantic part of the web will take care of processing the info and making it more available and useful.
Think of all the different microformats and data that we can use and add them as comments to this post. Lets see what the collective intelligence can do.

October 26th, 2007 — P2P Technology, Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is all about participation and sharing. P2p is also exactly about participation and sharing.
Every user gets to become a server and contribute to the community. Every user can simply share his files across everyone on the internet very easily.
P2p trackers are now capable to tracking usage data and then rating users. Leechers will be banned, seeders gets rewarded automatically, users who maintain higher ratios can download more files.
There are many communities that have evolved around p2p file sharing. P2p combined with social networking is taking shape now. Allpeers, a firefox plugin is the best example.

October 26th, 2007 — Wibree
Wibree has been renamed to ULP Bluetooth, ie Ultra Low Power Bluetooth. This change in name happened after the adoption of the technology by Bluetooth SIG. From now on this short range wireless communication protocol will be a part of the bluetooth specifications.
The advantage of this adoption is the faster integration with existing bluetooth specs and products. We are expecting to see the first wibree products in an year.

A microformat is a data formating approach that allows a developer make information that is intended for an end user to be read by software also.
An example would be a contact information found in a web page. A developer can use a contact microformat to put that information on the page so that humans and softwares can read it.
<div class=“vcard”>
<div class=“fn”>Kenney Jacob</div>
<div class=“org”>Mobme Wireless Solutions</div>
<div class=“tel”>+919846831128</div>
<a class=“url” href=“http://www.kenneyjacob.com”>http://www.kenneyjacob.com/</a>
</div>
What you are seeing above is a Vcard microformat. Many such formats are available to present various kinds of information like contacts, calenders, reviews etc.
Microformats allows a machine read them and make sense out of that information.
So Is microformats the gateway to web 3.0, the semantic web.
