Bernhard delves even deeper into the discussion.

Sam Ruby started the Log Format Roadmap:

This wiki is a vendor-neutral space for agreeing on a new log format that is:

• 100% vendor neutral,
  
• implementable by everybody, anywhere, for any reason
  
• freely extensible by anybody, anywhere, for any reason
  
• cleanly and thoroughly specified.

Here's the project roadmap:

• Decide on the conceptual model of a log entry. (You are here.)
• Decide on a syntax for this model. SyntaxConsiderations
  
• Build a syndication format using this syntax.
  
• Build an archiving format using this syntax.
  
• Build a weblog editing protocol using this syntax.

Let's put aside our differences and work together to achieve these goals. If you support this roadmap, please link to it from your weblog, with a few words as to why you support it.

Why does Kaywa support it
Because we believe in vendor-neutral "open" standards and interop.

It feels good to end our self-inflicted NDA.

Nokia:

Nokia's work on the Semantic Web was started in 1996 and predates the term itself. We have collaborated with the academia and various standards organizations, and contributed to all major Semantic Web standards and specifications.

Interesting. Didn't know about Nokia's involvement in the Semantic Web.

The key findings from the latest Mobinet study of 5,600 mobile phone users in 15 countries:

More than 80 percent of mobile phone users in the study were aware of the photo messaging capabilities of today's mobile phones, and two-thirds said they were willing to pay to utilize those services. Among those under 19 years of age # the heavi est users of text-based messaging # 42 percent said they would be willing to pay more than $1 US to s oend a photo message. Fourteen percent of all users were prepared to pay more than $2 US per photo message. More than 30 percent of those surveyed said they would be willing to use photo messaging at least once a week in the future.
