  • Faviki makes semantic tagging (almost) as easy as classic
  • July 2, 2009
  • custom names for tags
  • ...30 more annotations...
  • better control over tagging
  • OpenID
  • Save API
  • defining new tags
  • several new features
  • mainly to facilitate the use of common tags
  • overcome Wikipedia’s limitations as a controlled vocabulary for semantic tags
  • common, “semantic” tags are unique, well-defined concepts
  • Is it possible to make semantic tags as flexible as classic ones? Can humans accept and love the format intended for machines?
  • Enhanced tagging interface
  • added in free form, resembling classic tagging
  • possible to use custom names for tags
  • If Faviki doesn’t understand a tag provided by a user, it will ask her to disambiguate it. It will then remember her choice
  • Faviki “learns” about user’s name of the tag

      Superb.
  • custom names for tags can also be modified explicitly on the Tag page.
  • Defining new tags
  • added the same way as Wikipedia tags. The difference is that, this time, Google search is not restricted to Wikipedia’s domain
  • only a few of the top results are allowed to be selected
  • users collaboratively create new tags
  • Users collaboratively decide the best URLs for a concept
    • Graham Perrin

      Title, URL, a little text and a thumbnail, with sources. Compare the two. Answer yes or no. Perfect!
  • Save/Edit API
  • a simple API that provides a way to save and edit bookmarks from other applications.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 12 Aug 09
       
      Hurrah! I'd love to have this work with Diigo API for bookmarks…
  • OpenID support
  • uses RPX
  • Other features/improvements
  • Smarter autocomplete list
  • Converting tags
  • Spam control
  • Export/backup bookmarks
  • Tag description tooltip
  • Graham Perrin on 12 Aug 09
     
    @ Diigo Let's make best use of the Faviki Save/Edit API.
  • Graham Perrin on 12 Aug 09
     
    The bookmarklet for Faviki is compelling.

  • owever, I wouldn’t expect this functionality to be extended to user profiles anytime soon, which would clearly be a bigger win for Twitter than Facebook.
    • David Corking
      David Corking on 23 Aug 09
       
      Why not? Surely Facebook would be glad to discourage you from logging into Twitter, and spend more time on their own site.
  • by giving users the ability to update both services via Facebook, they’re clearly hoping that the Facebook Page will become the first stop for admins.

    Much has been said about Microsoft's Project Natal since its announcement in the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) last June 1. "Natal" was used as the code name of the project because natal means birth and Microsoft considers the latest Xbox 360 video game device as the next generation home entertainment system. It utilizes a motion sensor device that will eliminate the need for a traditional controller and lets the gamer use his full body to interact with the device while gaming.

Influential Marketing Blog: 10 Stunning (And Useful) Stats About Twitter - 0 views

useful stats blog marketing twitter

shared by ignacio chehade on 18 Jul 09 - Cached
  • 21% (One Fifth) of Twitter accounts are empty placeholders.
  • Nearly 94% of all Twitter accounts have less than 100 followers.
  • March and April of 2009 were the tipping point for Twitter.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • 150 followers is the magic numbe
  • A small minority creates most of the activity
  • 5% of users account for 75% of all activity, and 10% of users account for 86%. This seems to suggest that the site has managed to engage a mass audience beyond those who typically engage with social media.
  • Half of all Twitter users are not "active."
  • his leaves about 30% of users who have an account and have tweeted before, but happen to be inactive now.
  • Tuesday is the most active Twitter day
  • APIs have been the key to Twitter's growth & utility.
  • English still dominates Twitter
  • Twitter is being led by the social media geeks.
  • 150 followers is the magic number. In a particularly interesting data point from the survey, Sysomos found that Twitter users tended to "follow back" all their followers up until about 150 connections. Then the reciprocation rate fell off dramatically, which seems to indicate that this number may be the crossover point where people shift from using Twitter for more personal use to using it more for "lifecasting" their thoughts and actions to a community of people who they feel varying levels of connection to.

    Looking past these small points, the report does share some fairly interesting observations and stats as well if you dig a bit deeper. Here's my read on the 10 standout conclusions that the report offers to help you (and your brand) better understand the potential uses of Twitter

  • It's not that conversation doesn't occur, it's that I don't think that networks of conversations are the best way to understand the Twitter information ecosystem. A long-tail distribution of information sharing entities (accounts) co-creating knowledge is better, I think.
  • David Corking on 10 Jun 09
     
    Serious essay by Mark Drapeau. Perhaps that explains why so many Twitterer are over 40: its demographic doesn't seem to be anything like myspace, youtube or orkut

  • Web 2.0 Logo Map - Original Version
  • Meg Pickard of Guardian went back to the drawing board and updated the original Web 2.0 map to mark companies that either vanished or were acquired in these years. Here’s her updated version of the chart.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Web 2.0 Companies That Got Acquired or Vanished
  • A pink cross means that the company is dead now while green circles mark companies that got acquired.
  • Obviously there are some companies like XDrive that were acquired but still closed shop so you see both a cross and circle against their logo. And two greens circles, as seen on the logo of Pegasus News, means that the company was acquired twice in the same period.

    oday I saw a interesting map on the page of informationarchitects.jp. The WEB Trend Map 2009. This japanese company publishes every year this map with the most important Internet domains and the most important Internet personalities. The nice idea was to map the domains and personalities on a map of the Tokyo subway system.

Gov 2.0: It's All About The Platform - 0 views

web2.0 future article gov2.0

shared by yc c on 04 Sep 09 - Cached
  • But as with Web 2.0, the real secret of success in Government 2.0 is thinking about government as a platform. If there’s one thing we learn from the technology industry, it’s that every big winner has been a platform company: someone whose success has enabled others, who’ve built on their work and multiplied its impact. Microsoft put “a PC on every desk and in every home,” the internet connected those PCs, Google enabled a generation of ad-supported startups, Apple turned the phone market upside down by letting developers loose to invent applications no phone company would ever have thought of. In each case, the platform provider raised the bar, and created opportunities for others to exploit.

  • qu'est qui fait un site laid (ou ringard) ? Cette question est bien sûr en relation avec le désormais tristement célèbre site web de Ségolène Royal desirsdavenir. com. 
  • On avait ce genre de site dans les années 1990, voici une capture d'écran du site de la maison blanche en 1995 (qui était tout de même, je vous rassure, super-ringard même à cette époque).
  • Quand on communique on utilise des codes, on peut jouer avec et même les détourner (c’est exprès mal dessiné, mais nous savons bien que je sais dessiner en vrai), et il existe toujours un contrat de lecture avec les internautes
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Ce site montre à ses lecteurs que l'équipe de désir d'avenirs ne possède aucune culture concernant le Web, ils sont incultes dans ce domaine et n’ont aucun humour (ce qui peut parfois sauver d'un très mauvais design). 
  • Et là, c'est impardonnable aux yeux des internautes
  • il s'agit du site de quelqu'un prétendant à la plus haute marche de nos institutions
  • Nous pourrions comparer ce paysage à celui de l’affiche de campagne de François Mitterrand en 1981.
  • kitsch, une accumulation de signes sans aucune significations
  • le fait de tout centrer nous ramène à des codes religieux ou très solennels nous donnant à penser que Ségolène se prend pour un messie
  • en opposition avec cette idée de démocratie participative
  • Ségolène Royal connaît parfaitement l'importance du choix des mots dans un discours, et bien pour les images c'est exactement la même chose
  • ce site est totalement raté du point de vue formel
  • on arrive à du non-design ou du design par défaut
  • On ne demande surtout pas à Ségolène Royal d’être à la pointe du design Web, mais de savoir s’entourer. Avec ce site, elle prouve le contraire et c’est terrible pour son image (surtout sur les plus jeunes).
  • aucuns crédits concernant le logiciel (Joomla), les auteurs, les designers, graphistes, intégrateurs, développeurs... ayant créé ce site, la seule mention :  Copyright © 2009 - Désirs d'avenir 
  • on se croirait chez l’Oréal ou chez Nike, ou l’on cache volontairement les auteurs... pourquoi ne pas mettre ce site sous Creative Commons et mettre la liste des contributeurs ? cela serait plus logique avec l’idée que je me fais de la démocratie participative.
  • une pensée pour les militants, qui je pense doivent être profondément attristés (et furieux) par les dégâts qu’a pu causer ce site
