Why this new blog about technology
I started blogging not very long ago, at http://jean.posterous.com. Over the months this first blog has narrowed into a sustainable development blog and I am not comfortable anymore to post articles regarding technology there. Hence this new blog dedicated to technology that really matters.
Technology that matters is technology that have the potential to profoundly change the world that we live in. This should not be yet another technology business news blog, there are plenty of those already available. I hope to discuss very early stage startup technologies or even better pre-startup technologies, unfounded ideas and concepts, core-technology open source projects, universities breakthroughs.
Another very important thing is that this blog is open to other posters, I will only moderate based on the following criteria that may slightly evolve over time:
- It has to be about technology that really matters, see above,
- it should explain why this matters if this is not obvious,
- if this is about a breakthrough it should be scientifically understandable, no perpetual-motion machines here,
- no hype, this is not a place for advertizing new products or startups, unless it makes a real difference
- no technology receipes about how to achieve some effect, even if this is briliant
If I decide to not publish an article, and I hope I will not have to, I will reply to the sender with the reason and if possible with recommendations to modify the article for it to comply.
Comments will also be moderated with a very simple rule:
- no insults
