Source favicon23:55 北京-香港-无锡:博客时代的精神病症 » 安替博客
香港其实很近,北京-香港的往返机票才2000元,我三天就办好签证事宜,如果有多次签,那去香港和去上海没什么区别。会英语的北京人在香港没什么不适应的,因为你只要坚持谈在北京谈的话题就好了。
 
香港其实也很远,哥们Isaac Mao就没能搞定港签(因为上海当局不让大陆人在WTO游行期间自由行),而当一个香港人演讲说粤语的时候,我的同声传译竟然要开在英语频道(我粤语不熟)。最关键的是,当十几个好朋友,在著名的七一吧举起啤酒干杯的时候,他们说的是,“Cheers for Anti-WTO”,而只有我一个人说“Cheers for Anti and WTO”,因为环顾四座,唯我独右。
 
香港真的很远。中文大学的一个朋友,头一次从我这里听到他见过的夏勇已经是保密局局长。而我三天后告别这些反世贸的朋友、返回北京之后,面对朋友提的“汕尾”枪杀事件,我竟然需要对此新闻恶补,而且在分析里面明堂的时候觉得脑袋短路。怎么会这样?
 
在香港其实资讯更加发达,因为没有任何新闻封锁,你可以看任何你想看的频道和网站;想来想去,恐怕是因为北京有一个政治的氛围在这里,让敏感的人养成了一个很好的政治关注能力。虽说在香港,可以完全用网络信息来构建一个类似北京的信息环境,但终究我们每个人都活在本地,我们的议程,终究被每天早上的报纸、同城的手机电话内容和朋友们的饭局和聚会所左右。
 
即便你试图生活在别处,但你实在抵抗不了当下的诱惑。和那些反世贸的朋友在一起的时候,我当然没有兴趣关注他们的诉求,但你只要看看他们设计的游行抗争小册子(警力分布、警察装备的弱点示意图、行动策略),你不得不在晚上回宾馆的时候多看看港报关于反世贸的生动报道。这样,不用一天,你的脑袋就开始香港化了。
 
议程香港化之后,你才能欣赏这个美丽的自由港。你会每次在听到“下一站是天后”的报站声后会心一笑;你会买了《信报》《南华早报》之后,也忍不住买份《苹果日报》;你会更加关注“立法会里面的人”,而不是北京异动;你会约香港的朋友吃饭,越来越多的话题局限在本地。一直到你返回北京的时候,你发现才三天你就成为了外省人,必须沉寂几天,好好学习。
 
朋友却指出,我的问题不在于香港还是北京,而在于我患了新闻记者的职业病:信息匮乏恐惧症。其实太多香港人和北京人,都不在乎是不是不知道一件事情。而我们,如果跟丢了任何一个大事件,都能在我们的心理投下阴影。我们必须一直在线,7/24。博客时代,更加剧了我们的病症:我的灵魂已经包月了。
 
今天下午,我坐车行驶在苏北的小县城。河道已经干枯,夕阳挂在完整的天空上,我意识到我离开北京已经很远了,离开博客也很远了。我突然想起了无锡,那是我一生最美好的岁月。我那时还不叫安替,那时我还没上网,那时我能写情书写一个下午,用笔写,写的是繁体字,那时,和美眉牵一次手,能感动一生。
 
那时,我只是一个宾馆总台的接待员,没有未来,晚上只愿意看着自己的藏语资料。最重要的是,我根本心里面都没有想过什么未来。我会找一个汉堡店,仔仔细细地琢磨华严三十六字母,或者给美眉写小说,这样无成果的蠢事,我今天是做不出来了。但很多时候,我在黑夜回首,我会发现,如果没有无锡这段蠢日子,我连值得留恋的感情都没有。
 
1998年12月,我开始上网了。我离开了悠长的假期,来到了在线的时代、最后是博客的时代。信息、效率、资源、传播、影响、议程,我已经和无锡的我不一样了。我有些变了,从当年的最佳情人,到现在连“认真”讨好女生的心态都没有了。我的生活变得极度简单、极度无趣,当然也极度有效率。
 
网络给了我巨大的资源,也在规定我的未来。WEB2.0的世界,大家都在期待,而我却觉得,这个世界是放大所有人特点的魔镜:你只是更加你自己。例如我原来看FT《金融时报》,是一页一页看,用了信息定制功能之后,我只收到了关于china关键字的新闻。我不会漏掉任何关于中国的新闻,但我看的FT,已经是我想像的FT,和所有其他人看到的都不一样了。
 
当你用dangdang买书的时候,当你用rss软件的时候,你会发现,你越来越专业化,但这只是你自己的强化,你的可能性反而缩小了。怀念淘书的岁月,因为你不知道你今天会发现什么。当今天头文字C的关雅荻告诉我他得到了新浪博客大奖的时候,我笑了:实在是圈子太小了。
 
所以我才办头文字C,当我在后海皮划艇的时候,我才觉得,这个世界是肉体的,不是数码的。锻炼之后的感觉和高潮一样令人兴奋,这种兴奋帮助我抵抗了web2.0的诱惑。
 
去香港的时候,和美眉正在发生矛盾,这让我整个在香港的三天就是死灵魂,都是以惯性在说话,谈着新媒体和政治的事情。这让我想起了《勇敢的心》,当华莱士怀着为妻子报仇的目的,开始抗争,最后变成自由战士。当他开始和皇妃做爱的时候,整个事情变化了:他不再是为了爱而抗争,而是为了抗争而抗争,抗争脱离了母体,变得荒谬起来。所以他梦到了妻子,最后他选择了走向敌人,甘愿被杀。因为,没有爱的政治,是没有意义的。
 
我起安替这个名字,不仅仅要反抗体制,更重要的是反对自己的虚伪和权力。从香港回来,我想了很多,想到了无锡,想到了那些令人感动的岁月。我无法否定博客时代的我,因为这已经无法改变了,但至少,我愿意反省,愿意承认,有太多的丰富是浅薄、有太多的激动其实是浮躁。
 
好好地看守身边的感情,因为只有这样,我的灵魂才永远不会被再包月。在这个数码的2.0世界中,我想继续过更加保守的肉体生活。

Source favicon22:09 Searching for music » Official Google Blog


It may come as no surprise, but I like to search for things on Google. Yep, when I'm looking for something, I always try it on Google first. And sometimes, that thing I'm looking for is music. Many of our users feel the same way, and we get a lot of search traffic on music terms like popular artists and albums.

A few of us decided to try to make the information you get for these searches even better, so we created a music search feature. Now you can search for a popular artist name, like the Beatles or the Pixies, and often Google will show some information about that artist, like cover art, reviews, and links to stores where you can download the track or buy a CD via a link at the top of your web search results page.

We do this sort of thing a lot -- adding a bit of special information to results for important searches. For example, we have movie showtimes and stock quotes. The more information we can make easily accessible with a simple search, the better.

Right now the music search feature mostly works for artists popular in the U.S. and a more limited number of artists from other countries, but we plan to expand it to classical music, worldwide artists, and lesser-known performers. Our list of music stores will also grow over time. If you’re a music store (selling downloads, music by subscription, or physical CDs) and would like to be listed, please get in touch.

You might be thinking,"why can't I just type in an album name or a song name and get the same music search results?” There are many album names and songs which are also plain English words. Sometimes users are looking for music information related to those words, and sometimes they aren’t. As we get better at knowing when our users want music information, we hope to expand this feature to include more queries. So keep searching, and we hope you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results. We always welcome your feedback.

Google推出了两个很有意思的Firefox插件:Blogger Web CommentsSafe Browseing

Blogger Web Comments的其实是Blogsearch反向链接功能及BlogThis!的结合体。用它可以在Firefox中方便的查看(Google Blogsearch中的反向链接)或发布(Blogger.com发布文章)对任何页面的Blog评论。

Safe Browseing
则是一个有类似防火墙功能的插件,它会在你访问的页面包含网络欺骗内容(Phishing)的时候发出警告。Safe Browseing判别欺骗内容的方法包括对网页本身的分析和从Google服务器读取黑名单。

虽然这两个插件都没有能在我的Firefox上留下来,但是它们的出现也从另一个方面表明了Google对Firefox的重视程度。如果不出意外,Google应该会在将来推出更多的插件来丰富Firefox的功能。
Source favicon19:44 2005年最酷的5个网络服务 » 未完成 - Incomplete
年终毫无例外的是盘点与展望的时间,所以还没真正到年底,就已经有不少人在忙不迭的盘点着各种的年终排行榜。有关web2.0的排行榜,现在比较流行的是这个Best Web2.0 Software of 2005(中文版)。我也来清理一下2005年给我印象最深的最酷的几个网络服务,或者说web2.0网站。 1、Douban:已经记不清是从哪里开始,很偶然地注册成为豆瓣的第53位用户,从此成为豆瓣的最忠实用户之一(用豆瓣词典里的术语叫做“豆粉”)。豆瓣令我耳目一新的网站设计与用户友好性、易用性,使它成为我使用最多的网络服务之一。同时,也很期待说英语的Douban在2006年也能够在国外成为热门词之一。 2、del.icio.us:和这个现在非常知名的网站邂逅过几次,但都因为这个怪异的域名以及丑陋的页面而擦肩而过,终于有一天想注册成用户看看这个得到不少人美誉的网站究竟有什么用,del.icio.us就这样让我品尝到它的美味,而成为我每天网络生活的一部分,至今为止为在del.icio.us中记录了1200多条书签,希望Yahoo在2006年能够善待它,不要让我失望。 3、Technorati:与Flickr及美味书签一样,Technorati也为Tag的推广作出了巨大的贡献,尽管现在距离Tag的真正普及还有很长的距离。Techonrati尽管还有一些自己的问题,但作为目前最优秀的Blog搜索引擎,是我目前搜索Blog的反向链接以及进行Blog内容检索的最主要工具。不知道Technorati在2006年是否也难逃被收购的命运。 4、Memeorandum:如果说链接是Blog的重要特性和价值之一,Memeorandum这个名字拗口的网站就是挖掘和揭示Blog链接价值的最出色的服务,它通过聚合相关的Blog讨论内容(其实也包括传统主流媒体的内容)让Blog真正成为一种对话,使Blog不再是孤岛。在Memeorandum出现之前我没有想到能够这样创意地组织Blog的内容进行展示,我想Memeorandum的价值不仅仅在于Blog,它对于未来的网络媒体内容组织形式同样具有深远的意义,只是似乎国内对这个网站的重视程度不是太高。Technorati的后厨房现在正在打造自己的一款类似于Memeorandum的服务Techonrati Explore。 5、43things:虽然43things是这5个网络服务中我使用得最少也已经很久没有登录使用的服务,但它已让给我留下深刻的印象,43things所带来的独特的目标分享方式启发了我对于社会性网络的一些思路,而43things事实上也启发了很多SNS从业者。 我的5个候选名单:优秀的网络服务的确太多了,实在忍不住要提提下面这5个服务作为候选(说白了,其实是十大,呵呵):Feedburner,Pandora,SeeHaha,Ning,Squidoo。 说完了我自己的选择,学习一下怪癖游戏,点名请下面几位blogger谈谈自己印象中2005年最酷的5个网络服务:Keso、Webleon、zheng、 Hopesome、Herock,也算是一个年终盘点的游戏吧。

Source favicon11:13 New Firefox extensions » Official Google Blog




It wasn't that long ago that I was eating Vegemite on toast back in my homeland of Australia, idly wondering what my future employer Google might have in store for me. Now, five weeks after arriving in the country and being exposed to the Firefox codebase for the first time, and thanks to the array of geniuses sitting around me, it gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of my first project, Blogger Web Comments to Google Labs.



Originally conceived by my friend and mentor, Aaron Boodman, this Firefox extension shows you what bloggers around the world are saying about the websites you are viewing. If that doesn't satisfy, you can easily start or join one of these conversations using your Blogger blog. We've had plenty of fun reading what people have had to say about our own sites and the sites we visit every day, but best of all is when we discover new groups of people interested in the same niche sites we have been visiting for years.



Today we're also introducing a test release of Google Safe Browsing for Firefox, which should help protect you from phishing sites.



Check them both out on Google Labs.

Source favicon02:30 Google Holiday Helper » Official Google Blog


First add 1/2 cup water and seasoning packet to 1 lb. ground beef... uh, wait -- this is the HOLIDAY Helper. Ooops. Okay, let's start over.

Holiday season can be a trying time -- shopping stress, end of year deadlines and A Christmas Story broadcast a thousand times on TV. We've got some quick tips to help you make sense of the madness.

1) Organize Your Wish List
Making a list and checking it twice is so much easier with Froogle's Shopping List, which lets you search for the items you want to buy, and then with just a click, save them for later. You can keep your list private or share it with friends who might just take the hint and buy you something you want this year instead of the "World's Ugliest Tie".

2) Track Packages
Will your package arrive in time? Entering a UPS, USPS or Federal Express tracking number into a Google search box will give you an update on your shipment before you can say "overnight shipping."

3) Find Toll-Free Numbers
OK, here's a secret "the man" doesn't want you to know. Some companies have a toll-free number that's buried deep on their website -- but it would take like a thousand clicks to find it, and these days, who has the time? One way to get to it more quickly is to search Google for the company name and the phrase "customer support." Like this: TiVo Customer Support.

An even trickier way to get at hard-to-reach customer support phone numbers is to search for the company name and the standard toll-free prefixes. That'll dig up some real gems. For example, "[company name] 800 OR 877 OR 888 OR 866". Give it a whirl -- and here's to less holiday stress.

大雁他们的相亲相爱要拍成MV,我们北京人民被要求在MV中搞客串。

我把这件事情当作圣诞节前的头等大事来抓的,要求了所有北京分舵的人今晚9点钟在我家集结,拍摄MV。真是好事多磨,拍摄本来安排在昨天,我四处管人借DV。想不到,偌大一个北京城,原来有车的人比有DV的人还多,愣是转了一圈就借到两部。昨天下午四点,接到机主通知:DV1号坏了,正在保修中心报修;DV2号在遥远的通县,没人有空去取。于是活动改在今晚,DV1号继续报修,DV2号在大菲妥善的照顾下安全到达我家。

我们都没有拍MV的经验,于是我先让大家熟悉了一下背景音乐,就是宁波人民唱的相亲相爱,我们对着每一个唱的那句品头论足了一下,特别议论了大雁的哽咽唱法,根据尾音部分奇异的消失,菜花最终得出结论:大雁就是气短,于是给自己找折说是什么哽咽唱法。在拍MV前,大雁本来企图让我们设计一个情节,例如:默默因为某事难过得哭了,最后在大家共同的劝慰下破涕为笑。这不太靠谱,我们平时插科打诨惯了,谁会对着镜头哭啊,我们一定拍出来是搞笑版本:默默踢着四蹄大哭,我们拿着铃铛手绢小挂绳逗他笑,最后直到默默看到奶瓶才挂着大眼袋....

到了年终,近两个星期组会上的主要议题是如何花掉剩下的钱。这是不是听着挺熟悉呀?欧洲的研究单位也是如此。虽然他们不至于把钱用在“个人福利”上,但是这样子购买实验室用物品与仪器还是很浪费的。比如本来并不是必须的,现在也买了;本来还应该多考虑的,这时候也可能匆匆忙忙地买了,将来发现不合适的机会就多了。我想需要一个更好的机制来避免这种浪费。 可以说科学研究是一种高消费,围绕着高校和研究所,有一批专门的公司兜售各类产品,而且价格昂贵。小小的一个东西,就会是本人一个月工资。据说,因为销量小,所以昂贵,但是我怎么觉得这里面利润大得惊人呢!

相对于美国的播客而言,中国的播客的确是出于初级阶段,就好像多年前的Blog一样。不过,真正浪潮甚至狂潮应该已经在酝酿之中了...
