The feminist revolution disrupted gender and family relations. The civil rights revolution disrupted social arrangements. The Vietnam War discredited the establishment.

  • Today, Israel may have earned itself another reputation - not just as a military power, but one that might be considered particularly merciless.



    The images of smoke plumes, destruction and death emanating from Gaza over the past few days are a somber reminder of the country's 2006 clash with Hezbollah and the great reality that years of neglect are wearing heavily on any hope for Arab-Israeli peace. Israel's deadly response on Hamas and residents of the Gaza Strip is increasingly looking like an attempt to regain an air of indestructibility, and less like a defense strategy

  • Today, Israel may have earned itself another reputation - not just as a military power, but one that might be considered particularly merciless.



    The images of smoke plumes, destruction and death emanating from Gaza over the past few days are a somber reminder of the country's 2006 clash with Hezbollah and the great reality that years of neglect are wearing heavily on any hope for Arab-Israeli peace. Israel's deadly response on Hamas and residents of the Gaza Strip is increasingly looking like an attempt to regain an air of indestructibility, and less like a defense strategy. The embattled government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, still reeling from the ineffective military campaign of 2006, has but a few months left to salvage its reputation, as well as the beset image of Israel."

The Madoff Economy - Living in the bubble - 0 views

madoff trust

shared by Levy Rivers on 19 Dec 08 - No snapshot
  • Consider the hypothetical example of a money manager who leverages up his clients’ money with lots of debt, then invests the bulked-up total in high-yielding but risky assets, such as dubious mortgage-backed securities. For a while — say, as long as a housing bubble continues to inflate — he (it’s almost always a he) will make big profits and receive big bonuses. Then, when the bubble bursts and his investments turn into toxic waste, his investors will lose big — but he’ll keep those bonuses.

  • The answer, I believe, is that there’s an innate tendency on the part of even the elite to idolize men who are making a lot of money, and assume that they know what they’re doing.

    After all, that’s why so many people trusted Mr. Madoff.

  • One week after making regular postings I syndicated the blog through Feedburner.com and Technorati.com.  Consistant postings plus this additional distribution of the blog helped the traffic improve quickly through week 38.  I created an account with LinkedIn.com to promote myself, I started adding my blog URL to my signature file in all my outgoing emails and also sent out an eNewsletter to all my customers with links back to my blog.  This really saw my traffic spike on week 40 - everything was working good.

necessity reputation management

shared by Levy Rivers on 29 Oct 08 - Snapshot
  • But digital monitoring is a mixed blessing. It can lead to obsession. In fact, I think that in some scenarios, it is obsessive (like using it to monitor your popularity among friends). Why add another technology with potential for obsession to your army of toys, when simply adhering to good principles will probably ensure your reputation anyway?
  • If the tool caught a bad remark, I would become concerned with upholding my reputation as a separate entity. I’d be chasing an elusive concept rather than providing good service as a matter of principle.

  • With so much happening online, it's important to keep a track of what people are saying about you and the topics you care about. Is your name or something associated with your name being mentioned in a complementary or critical manner? Even the corporate world has begun taking online reputation of candidates seriously.

shared by Levy Rivers on 24 Oct 08 - Snapshot
  • If you have ever been fired, then you know that that the first instinct is to pick up that computer and blog about every single misdeed that your former employer ever did. When you are fired you are not thinking rationally, and the desire for revenge for this is going to be running around in your mind. Social networking brings a lot more power to this concept, where a firing can become a public messy process. Flameouts are not new; we have seen them before once with Zed and once with Blognation. Social networking however, and the prevalence that we use those social tools to help ourselves underscores why the right way to deal with being fired is to be the adult in the room.
  • think through the anger and work on what you want to do for your next job. Take a couple of days off, no not touch the keyboard, and watch Jerry Springer, Steve Wilkos, and Maury, back away from the keyboard.
  • The reason for backing away from the keyboard is to make sure you do not axe your next career move. Employers will go out and look at your blog; they will Google your name and your email address. They will find everything you write, and they will use that to determine if you should be hired.

shared by Levy Rivers on 24 Oct 08 - Snapshot
  • We’re beginning to get a sense of how Barack Obama’s political success could change global perceptions of the United States, redefining the American “brand” to be less about Guantánamo and more about equality. This change in perceptions would help rebuild American political capital in the way that the Marshall Plan did in the 1950s or that John Kennedy’s presidency did in the early 1960s.
  • In his endorsement, Mr. Powell added that an Obama election “will also not only electrify our country, I think it’ll electrify the world.”

reputation game theory

shared by Levy Rivers on 24 Oct 08 - Snapshot
  • Reputation in its purest form is deep, contextualized, complex, and local.  I have a very different reputation with my colleagues in the Sierra Club than I do with other academics, and still another one with my drinking buddies.  All of those reputations are linked to different dimensions of my identity, and each is accurate in its own way.  They accrue over time, and they are exceedingly difficult to scale up from local context to general form.
  • Online, reputational data is put at a premium, because the purer the anonymity, the worse people are bound to act

      Levy Rivers on 24 Oct 08
       
      Anonymity is the bane of responsibilty - therefore reputation also suffers
  • That’s standard “Shadow of the Future” stuff, a basic finding from game theory, and replicated in a host of experimental settings.  So reputation systems incentivize good behavior while distributing the costs of punishing bad behavior.

  • But real reputation isn’t the aggregate of online clapping and booing.
  • online rating mechanism
  • So reputation tracking systems are probably obsolete at this point, simply because every system is going to have weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and there haven’t been many new developments (at least that I’m aware of — which is a decent indicator that if something great is out there, it sure hasn’t diffused very widely yet).
  • What we really need is reputation systems that take advantage of Metcalfe’s Law.

      This assumes that each node has the same value across the network
  • in a world where all action is recorded
  • reputation data as a form of filtering and content management
  • But likewise, as more types of data become available, we need to diversify the types of proxies we use for assessing reputation.
