If “Web+1” is to overtake “Web 2.0″, it needs a snappy theme song. Here it is, based on Love Plus One by Haircut 100:

I, I clicked off of the site
Without bookmarking, “goodbye!”
Where does it go from here?
Is it blogging and feeds I hear?

After posting yesterday, I realized that I hadn’t expressed on opinion on whether “Web 2.0″ is a good name despite it’s inaccuracy. Hmm. Yeah, sure, whatever. “++Web” would be more universally accurate since the result could be a different number for everyone’s local value of “Web”, but that wouldn’t be as widely understood. “Web++” looks [...]

Yesterday, Tim Bray posted an entry about his dislike for the term “Web 2.0″, arguing that the growing impact of blogging and syndication on the way the web works is “3.0″, not “2.0″ (and hints that it may even be “4.0″). Tim O’Reilly, whose organization has a conference named the “Web 2.0 Conference” posted today [...]

I don’t know how long it’s been since they fixed this, but I check again this morning and discovered that enabling comments on Blogger-generated blogs that publish to PHP, ASP, SHTML, etc. powered sites is now safe! Back at the end of March, I posted a message on Bugtraq outlining a vulnerability that I’d reported [...]

Google Toolbar Keeps Controversial Linking Feature: “Google executives have stressed that they are only giving users more choice. AutoLink does not add links unless a user clicks on a toolbar button to initiate the feature.”
I hadn’t realized at first that AutoLink had to be activated by clicking a button each time the user arrives at [...]

Our VoIP adapter from Vonage arrived today, and I placed my first VoIP call…which I answered myself on our Qwest line. Next, I talked to my wife with her on the Vonage phone and me on the Qwest cordless. Then I called my mom to invite her to dinner (and got her voice mail). So [...]

The bookmarks file generated by Mozilla is busted. The other day, I tried to create an XHTML file to turn my bookmarks file into a CSS-powered cascading menu, but I ran into a problem: since bookmarks.html doesn’t have closing tags for many of its elements, I couldn’t get the CSS styles applied as desired. Mozilla–please [...]

My yesterday’s entry in Mental Arc about the difficulty of finding a website among a growing number of TLDs prompted me to write a pre-draft of an RFC for a generalized method of autodiscovery of information about and services provided by a website. The core idea is to have an “autodisc” folder at the root [...]

Everybody knows who the domain name “microsoft.com” belongs to–that 10-ton gorilla from Redmond. But what about hansen.com? That could be any of many millions of individuals. Let’s take a slightly simpler example: hansens.com. That could be any one of probably hundreds of companies–some big, some small, some in one industry and some in another. Unfortunately, [...]

Here’s a message I’ve attempted twice to post to Bugtraq, but it appears to have been lost both times. Traffic on Bugtraq has been spotty lately. It talks about a security problem with Blogger’s handling of comments:
Having notified Blogger of this twice over the course of a number of months, and not seeing them take [...]
