Hong Kong First Blog
Colleagues in Hong Kong are excited about a new website - much overdue, they all say! Another long-term thought is - would we be able to do this website in different languages?
Sunday, June 29, 2003
The appearance of this site is unfortunate, currently. The point is that is working on the asiape web server. We will all be able to comment and to do some work and to progress the development using the actual tools we plan to use.
Here are some of my priorities for this week:
Make the logo smaller and begin to integrate it intro Marcella's proposed layout.
Create an automatic mailing list so that when anybody posts a new comment on this web site all people (who want to) will receive an email with a notification.

Asia Private Equity Review - May issue
Since the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis, Asia has not been able to reverse the spell that brings it misfortune. In April 2000 when Asia was about to contain the rippling effect of this crisis, the tidal wave of NASDAQ’s technology meltdown began to roll towards the shores of the Asian continent. Then in 2001, the tragic events of September 11 led to the US to prepare itself for war with Iraq. Against the backdrop of a struggling economy, shaped largely by global macro factors, Asia faced yet another crisis that exploded on its own soil...

There is a popular word that is used when you are trying to topsy-turvy things: The word is "extreme" as in Extreme Science and Extreme Programming. So why not Extreme Publishing?
With the Internet, people are publishing content in ways the world has never seen before. Various Internet technologies enable this new medium: 1. web logs, 2. open source 3. wireless, always-on broadband access.
These new tools will change publishing much more than the DeskTop Publishing revolution of the 1980's.
This web site is an attempt to explore this new thing "by eating your own dog food". This site was created and is being updated using Blogger. Even the menu to the left Is a page in Blogger that can be updated from any computer connected to the Internet.
Definitions
My current definition of Extreme Publishing is an effective, unscheduled, sequential collaborative environment for publishing content available to the public by fully effective use of modern media.
"Effective" means influential, able to induce change, bringing an advantage.
"Un-scheduled" means there are no fixed quarterly, monthly, weekly or daily editions. When there is little news is little news is published, but maybe more analysis and background are published and vice versa. but content is generally published as and when it is ready.
"Sequential" means that new content appears in such a way that you can easily discern what is new and what you have read before. For example, new material is often added at the top of the page, moving older material down the page.
"Collaborative" means that there several people involved, the roles of journalist and the editor are supported, and the effort may involve the full panoply of resources available in traditional publishing
"Publishing" means make known to the public as opposed to selected or known recipients. In other words you never know who is going to be exposed to the content.
"Content" might be any publishable material including text, drawings, music, phone calls, videos, JavaScript or computer code.
"Modern media" means computer screen, telephony, various wireless technologies, and the output of any device that happens to be connected to the Internet.
Last Things First
Well, I guess it should be "Last things Second" since this is the second section. Normally if you are starting a publishing empire first you do a lot of stuff and at last you begin publishing something.
With Extreme Publishing you start the other way around. You publish first and then do the organizing. The idea is that if people like your idea they will come on board and the thing will get going. If they don't like your idea, then it's up to you to give up or improve the thing.
So the first thing you notice is that what you are reading is a web page and that you can add comments (soon) and that this "story" was first published just hours after it was dreamed up.
The second thing is that the essence of Extreme Publishing is that it is merely a medium in the sense that a newspaper, magazines and broadcasts are different media for expressing content. Thus content is still queen.
Being a modern media it is extremely flexible. For example, you might want to create your content using handwriting. So let's say I give you a tablet PC and your handwriting is instantly transformed into text. And then, perhaps, we might then transform your text into speech appearing to come from an on-screen avatar. But no matter how great the content may look, it is, as always, garbage on, garbage off.
More of the essential elements of Extreme Publishing are listed in the Features and Benefits section of the Background page.

This web site practices what it preaches: New ideas can be disseminated faster, cheaper and more easily than ever before. Or, perhaps, that even the dumbest ideas can now be recorded for posterity.
This web site is still several revisions away from doing what it wants to say: provide a cogent analysis of what is now turning the publishing industry inside out while at the same time providing you with the tools for you to do this.
The first thing to do is to browse the the three pages on the menu to the left, then as quickly as you feel comfortable go to the Try It page and just do it.
Once you have posted your message, then you might want to read up on the Manifesto for what you have just done.
Finally, there's a page of Background on all this new stuff.

My definition of Effective Journalism is untimed collaborative publishing enironment that makes content available to the public by fully effective use of modern media.
"Effective" means influential, able to induce change, bringing an advantage.
Un-timed means there are no fixed quarterly, monthly, weekly or daily editions. When there is little news is little news is published, but more analysis and backgrounders are published and vice versa.
Collaborative means that there are at least two parties are involved, the journalist andt the editor, and may invlove the full panoply of traditional publishing
Publish means make known to the public as opposed to selected or known recipients. In other words you never know who is going to be exposed to the content. The content might be any publishable content incliding text, drawings, music, phone calls, videos, Javascripts or computer code.
"Modern media" means telephony, various wireless technologies, and the Internet. "Journalism" is the weakest link here if you look at the dictionary. Should I be saying "Effective Publishing"? And then there is another word that is used when you are trying to topsy-turvy things: Extreme Science and Exterme Programming.. So how about Extreme Publishing

There are two main web log programs that are available at no charge over the Internet . The most popular one is Blogger. Probably the most powerful one is Movabletype. This demonstration web site covers the Blogger program.
Like any good web log system, Blogger allows you to insert links into your text such as this one: Google News. You can also use boldfaced text as well as Italics. In fact, you can use any HTML inside a posting .
As with all good web logs systems, Blogger allows you to change appearance without changing the content. I chose this current template from a very long list of available templates. You can change the way any Blogger web log looks in a few minutes without changing one word of any of the articles or topics.
The normal Blogger web site does not allow you to add comments to an existing topic. I believe you can do this, however, was add-on software. One other disadvantage is that you cannot easily preview a file written by somebody else before it is actually published to the website. This makes Blogger less useful in a collaborative situation where there are journalists and editors.
This little website is a demonstration of the blogger web log system. Blogger is the most popular web log program currently operating in the world. It is very easy to setup , and quite easy to use. With Blogger, you must edit your pages on the Blogger website. The editor is easy to use and has quite a number of features. You have two choices as to where your web log will be. You can use BlogSpot which is a website they provide a post a web log. If you don't mind banner advertising, this can be free . For for a small charge per month you can have a web log with no advertising. The second method is to have the web log on a normal web site. This particular demonstration is set up on one of my web sites.
