| Gavin Clabaugh was one of the very first people I talked to about the idea of a network of authors. He wasn't blogging at the time and he flattered me when he expressed interest. A variety of inevitable delays followed and Gavin briefly started his blog elsewhere, but today I am very proud to announce the latest addition to our blog network: Gavin's Digital Diner.
Gavin is a futurist, a philanthropist, a technologist, and a charming and insightful writer. (He's written a great bio on his site.) I've had the privilege of working with Gavin on the board of N-TEN and more recently on the Steering Committee of Grantsfire. Serving now as a reader and promoter of his writing is an honor.
There are already a number of great pieces at Digital Diner. To start with, I would recommend the following: In Email Heresy, he challenges the notion that massive, computer generated email campaigns to congress actually increase the voice of the people. In Return to Beneath the Valley of the Metadata, he takes some of the air out of the folksonomy hype and starts a great online conversation (across several blogs) on finding a balance between bottom up and top down classification. And there are posts about wine and books and gadgets and all kind of practical technology advice as well.
