    To fail informatively started by MortenBlaabjerg
    Clay Shirky on the merits of metadata
    Video featuring an interview with Clay Shirky with some memorable quotes, found courtesy of Jake Mckee.
    One of Shirky’s great points is, that in order to coordinate group efforts on a large scale, one needs to fail informatively, i.e. del

    The power of RSS feeds and automated posting
    Time to write a new “real” blogpost again. I’ve got more than 50 drafts for posts in our blog WordPress backend, but it’s time to write a completely new post from scratch, one of those which sets itsel

    The Kaplak Widget’s Online Journey started by MortenBlaabjerg
    This early sketch illustrates how a product/widget from a niche producer is made visible in a niche context somewhere else on the web :
    A web user and niche producer (A) encounters a Kaplak widget on a website, he knows and trusts (B). The producer finds Kaplak can be used to distrib

    When Steve Spalding wrote about Kaplak on How To Split An Atom, he chose a small picture of some pictoresque 19th century houses to accompany the article. The picture bears the title “Denmark”, which is shown when hovering over the image with the mouse cursor. While nice%
    Kaplak and The Wiki Way started by MortenBlaabjerg
    This video is a few words about our online method and work ethos, which is greatly inspired by what has been coined “the wiki way”, by our friends at About Us, among others (and yet others).

    Contextualized Search started by MortenBlaabjerg
    I’ve previously written about the merits of attributing value to the context of finding information, rather than on any particular piece of information. This makes sense in an environment which literally explodes with new information, and shows no signs it’s gonna stop in
    The Grafitti Phase of a Startup started by MortenBlaabjerg
    There’s a place close to where I live in Odense, where I come often to walk my dog. It’s one of those places I call ‘cracks of the industrial city’. As anyone familiar with the lyrics of Leonard Cohen will tell you, the cracks are ‘wher
    Scaling YouTube started by MortenBlaabjerg
    Among my too many interests at the present is scalability and problems of scaling webservices, in particular. Of course, this is an obvious concern for Kaplak, as it is and will be for any startup which wants to address a global user base. How do you grow from your cellar setup to a system cap

    The pros and cons of commenting service Disqus
    The waters are divided these days on the blog commenting service Disqus, which we’ve also installed here on the Kaplak Blog. Personally I was impressed with it when I first saw it on the How To Split The Atom blog, and decided it could

    Painful Beginnings of a Startup in the Making started by MortenBlaabjerg
    Earlier this winter Rasmus Dahlberg of the Odense-based publishing house Det Historiske Hus asked me ‘why we had founded an association and not a company?’. I answered something to the meaning that the association was much more flexible than a formal business at this poi

    Futurist Mark Pesce gave a great talk in Sidney on Twitter and the global power of social messaging. Please enjoy :
