Ward Cunningham and I discuss the success of the WikiWikiWeb and his experience in creating the first Wiki in 1995. It was a real treat to meet Ward and I
have much respect for his legacy in making the Web a better place for people. Ward is
currently chief technology officer at Aboutus.org.

I enjoyed podcasting with Dr. Henry Chesbrough at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business Center for Open Innovation.  Our discussion explores key concepts underlying open innovation and particularly the importance of business models. Henry coined the concept “open innovation” and wrote Open Business Models: How to Thrive in the New Innovation Landscape to help the conversation around a hot topic in business community. Thanks Henry!

It was a pleasure podcasting with Jonathan Zittrain at Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Jonathan is visiting professor for Entrepreneurial Legal Studies at Harvard Law School and co-founder and faculty co-director of the Berkman Center. We discuss his new book The Future of the Internet And How to Stop It and important work underway at the OpenNet Initiative. The provocative thesis underlying his book is arriving at a significant time in history of the Internet. Thanks Jonathan!

I met a wonderful Berkman Center fellow earlier this month, Victoria Stodden, at the Harvard Business School-MIT conference on open and distributed innovation. Victoria will be doing interesting work with the Internet and Democracy Project at the Berkman Center … she stopped by and shared her thoughts at the conference. Good luck Victoria!

A good example is the OSD, a “media fridge” made by Neuros Technology of Chicago which acts as a repository of video from DVDs, camcorders, cable boxes and so on. Neuros made the OSD’s technical specifications available, and a group of users then wrote software to add a new feature that many users had requested: the ability to stream video from the OSD to another device across the internet. To access this new feature, users simply had to download a software patch. “It’s harder for my device to get antiquated,” says Aaron Crum, an OSD user, “and I don’t have to buy another $200 device next year.”
