Micro Persuasion: The Promise and Peril of Ubiquitous Community - 0 views

  • "Steve, what's the next hot online community?" It seems as though everybody is on the lookout for the successor to MySpace, Twitter or Facebook. Nobody, even in a difficult economic climate, wants to be viewed as a latecomer. Perhaps as a defense mechanism to avoid being wrong myself, I now give a boilerplate answer that I believe can last. In short, the next big community is not a single destination. Rather, it is going to be everywhere. To paraphrase Forrester analyst Charlene Li, social networking is becoming "like air."
  • The problem, however, is that this model can't scale. Tastes change and people are always migrating to trendier sites-especially as their friends do. As a result, the Internet amber is littered with fossilized communities that once dominated. These former stalwarts include AOL, Angelfire, TheGlobe.com, GeoCities and Tripod.
  • Community today is a different animal. People now expect it to be part of virtually every online experience. Most media companies now allow users to leave comments or even create profiles. Hundreds of thousands of brands, NGOs and individuals have set up their own social networks on Ning.com. The entire web is going social.

      The entire web is going social...interesting thought.

  • actually think the shift in online communities is going towards niche social sites. Sites like Myspace and Facebook are big and their user base is overwhelmingly diverse. I think the trend now is to move towards communities that are based around shared interests, especially with the proliferation of things like ning. Will the walls between these networks break down? Probably. But I think there's always going to be a desire to commune online with people who share your interests. This is actually good news for marketers because niche communities mean more targeted marketing opportunities any way.
  • A network that works well on a mobile platform--knows where I am, who within my network is near me, offers recommendations, etc. + the concept behind FriendFeed which aggregates multiple networks gets us closer to the "air" analogy. It's really not that far off. Just waiting for wi-fi networks and handheld usability to catch up.

How Social Networking Could Kill Web Search as We Know It - Faceboogle - Google vs. Fac... - 0 views

  • But what is new is that the interfaces have changed to allow each member of a community to have their own microsite—an identity on the Web that is unique and centralized. And this focus on online identity is what could turn search upside down.
    • Vincent Lu
       
      This ideal scenario is based on the precondition of unique micro site for everyone, i.e. the prevalance of open ID.

How to Change the World: The Art of the Start Video - 0 views

  • The Art of the Start Video An honest speaker will tell you that she has “on” days and “off” days. The result of a truly “on” day is a standing ovation. I had a very “on” day at TiECon on May 13, 2006. This is the annual meeting of The Indus Entrepreneur organization. I’ve provided postings of audio and video of my speeches that covered the topics of innovation and evangelism, but this is the first one of “The Art of the Start.” It’s the first one, frankly, because I’ve been waiting until I did it very—standing ovation—well.

  • The term is closely associated with Tim O'Reilly because of the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004.[2][3] Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but rather to cumulative changes in the ways software developers

ProgrammableWeb: Web 2.0 Mashup Matrix - 1 views

  •  
    An experimental matrix of Web 2.0 mashups.
    Usage: Hover the cursor over any cell in the matrix. A small box gives details on mashups for that API combination. Top links in hover box bring you to that API's reference page. Links in body of hover box take you directly to the mashup. Not all combinations have mashups & only those with the 'º' indicator currently have entries. Cells at the intersection of same API (ex: Amazon+Amazon) list any other examples for that API.

    Note that there are two views into the matrix: the default view shows only those APIs for which mashups have been added to the database. The second view shows all APIs regardless of whether there's currently a mashup registered. It's big. Definitions: What is a mashup anyway? As always, it's good to check Wikipedia's definition, but essentially a "mashup" is a web-based application built through (creative) combination of data from multiple sources. Often, but by no means always, this data is retrieved by using a vendor's API such as those listed here. (An API? Also at Wikipedia.) Some recent press may also help explain: BusinessWeek's "Mix, Match and Mutate", The Economist's "Mashing the Web". Background: This is an experiment. It is intended to be both a reference point and also a visualization. What you see here today will change both in content and form shortly. I am quite interested in seeing the 'space' in which mashups exist. Clearly, some APIs such as Google Maps, appear to be more widely used than others. UI Issues: Cross-browser support is good but not complete. Sometimes it can b

Remember Everything. | Evernote Corporation - 1 views

    Some brief notes from a Mac OS X perspective: http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/public/2009/04/11/evernote-fsc-001.png for an fseventer view of file system changes when Evernote Web Clipper in Safari produces a PDF, launches the main and helper applications, and syncs. No evidence there of Sync Services, which may be surprising given the otherwise fine use of available technologies.

Facebook: Connecting Us in Life and Death - 0 views

  • Facebook isn’t just a place to maintain communication anymore; it’s become a place to grieve, to pay final respects to someone, and connect with his/his friends. With every new memorialized profile page or group dedicated to a deceased user, Facebook is changing not only the way we hear about deaths, but the way we mourn them as well.
  • Death on Facebook’s Terms
  • Now, once Facebook finds out that a user has died, that person’s profile is automatically memorialized. What this means is that for thirty days, sensitive information (status updates and contact information, for example) is taken off the page, the profile can only be looked at by friends (the friend list is also locked), and people are able to post messages and photos on the person’s Wall.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Another popular option that Facebook offers is for friends and family members to start group pages dedicated to the deceased, such as “Tribute to ____” or “In Memory of ____,” where people can share memories and cherished pictures online. And for those who want the profile eliminated completely, Facebook will only honor the request if you’re a close relative and can prove the relation.

  • the first round clearly goes to Wave
  • collaborative technology that blurs the lines between email, wiki, SMS and Twitter
  • Wave integrates many of the features of disparate systems in common use
  • application programming interfaces would make it easier for third-parties to customise web applications
  • Microsoft's Bing, launched under the NineMSN banner in Australia
  • a shift from discrete applications to just one to handle all communications

      This is almost certainly too much for me to swallow.
    • Graham Perrin
       
      I like discrete applications.
  • ultimately it would mean a user could save all their work in the browser and dump it on the intertubes when they go back online
  • waves worked best on standards-compliant, Webkit browsers
  • emails (which could be translated between languages in real time) to a wave user
  • wave that was turned back into an e-mail
  • The same held true for instant messages and tweets
  • getting people to change their rusted-on habits
  • Microsoft's hand may have been moved by the launch of Wolfram|Alpha

    What I like about the site is that you don't have to leave 44Tips in order to view the bookmarked photos, videos, music and games. They are automatically imported to your 44Tips account and can be accessed from the site without changing location. If you are looking for a one-stop site for the most popular, if not the best, web services with an easy bookmarking and recommendation feature, check out 44Tips.
