A simple blog engine that lets me capture my data & redistribute, remix, license it as I want it. It's all about control of your own data.

'... Web 2 is also about data. I'm getting sick of having to type crap into 'n' different apps. Having 1 repository with various different modules exporting data to applications ...'

'... The simplest example is saving a photo to delicious. Why do I have to re-enter tags, descriptions when it should just be a call to pass the data from flickr to delicious? ...' [1]


Nextgen as an idea is pretty simple. Let me save all that data I enter into the web. Give me back control of my own data.

'... who owns you? ...'

It's just as much an idea as a product.

'... Next gen uses tags & data from many sources. Images from flickr, Links from delicious & Text from me. All mashed together with RSS, Perl, POD & TT ... [0]
