…My heart’s in Accra » Ben Hammersley’s Standup Routine Ben Hammersley has the afternoon keynote which is, predictably, both thought provoking and a standup comedy routine. Ben’s basic contention is that social change, in the past, has followed a sine curve - civilizations have peaked, and then collapsed. Ben believes that blogging, and other forms of content creation, signal the beginning of a period of huge change that, in retrospect, will be seen as “the first days of the Renaissance… you were the flatmate of Leonardo DaVinci”. www.ethanzuckerman.com /blog/2005/12/06/ben-hammersleys-standup-routine   (593 words)

The Guardian hammers RSS | Workbench Hammersley never states that he has been an active member of the RSS-DEV Working Group as it developed RSS 1.0, making him an extremely questionable choice to write a news article on the subject. Ben gave the presentation on RSS and I found his discussion of non-1.0 RSS to be rather snarky. From the context of the statement, the grassroots effort Ben is referring to appears to be the community's interest in developing beyond Netscape RSS 0.91, principally including Rael Dornfest's original RSS+Namespaces proposal, RSSx, which Dave Winer rejected, whilst also appropriating Netscape's work and presuming sole ownership, indicating that RSS+Namespaces would be a "fork" of RSS. www.cadenhead.org /workbench/2004/03/24.html   (2261 words)

Ben’s as comfortable behind a podium, wowing a friendly crowd as he is with a flack jacket and satellite phone, filing from some of the worlds most hostile locations.

DLTQ.org » Blog Archive » Bloggforum: Ben Hammersley The presentation that I was looking forward to the most at Bloggforum was Ben Hammersley’s talk on “Eight ideas that will really revolutionize the 21st century (and why blogging isn’t one of them)” - which also is the basis for a book in 2007.

Press Gazette - BBC reporter tours Turkey in social media experiment Hammersley says: “The interesting thing that we’re doing is that the majority of the content that we’re going to be producing online is going to be hosted externally on different external sites.” “We’re using services which are already very popular. Hammersley has a long and distinguished record in the online field and this, says the BBC, is why he was chosen for the experiment.

ben hammersley on liquid meth I dreamt that I was at Burning Man hanging out in a large tent with Ben Hammersley, Niobe from Matrix 2: Reloaded, some jumpy guy who looked kinda like Johnny Knoxville and an odd little kid. I sat down by Ben and asked him if that guy was OK and Ben explained that the dude was alright, he had just taken too much "liquid methamphetimine" and indicated a half-empty gallon milk jug filled with a clear liquid. After waking I wondered if I dreamt about Ben Hammersley because I was supposed to write up a couple of sections for his new O'Reilly book Weblog Hacks for over a month now and had kept procrastinating. www.akuaku.org /archives/2003/05/ben_hammersley.shtml   (449 words)

Shanti’s Dispatches - Ben Hammersley’s Dangerous “Nofollow” FUD If you don’t know what I’m referring to already, on Thursday Ben Hammersley posted an article, basically knocking the notion that we should be remotely excited about Google’s comment spam / “nofollow” announcement. Here’s Ben on the announcement and subsequent blogosphere reaction: We’re really trying to prevent Cletus, that out-of-work uncle you know, who’s sitting in his motor home down in Florida, from jumping on bandwagon because he heard through the grapevine how easy it is to get rich by spamming weblogs. sablog.com /archives/2005/01/23/ben-hammersleys-dangerous-nofollow-fud   (1423 words)

Ben Hammersley While the majority of attacks in Afghanistan this weekend were in the south, with Uruzgan province seeing 70 "Taliban" killed as 100-150 attacked a coalition base, and one Nato soldier being killed, and eight others wounded, by a roadside bomb, the violence in the country is not restricted to just that area. Army spokesman in Kandahar, Captain Marcus Eves, said the deaths, the heaviest single British loss since the formal deployment in January this year, bring the total British deaths by enemy fire in Helmand to six in the past two months.

O'Reilly Network -- Making Feature-Rich, Movable Type RSS Files That there are few of these right now is not an excuse, of course: the 30 seconds it takes to replace the default template with the complete one below is a small investment to make when the data produced might allow for a new generation of RDF applications.
