  • The thesis of a knowledge-led enlightenment now faces its antithesis, a menacing, secretive techno-centralism, with as yet no synthesis.
  • This giant revolution in access to knowledge has not dispersed power but rather passed it to new and in many cases sinister oligarchies. In Hannah Arendt's words, these do not appear to be "thinking the unthinkable" but rather just "not thinking".

  • five states that are using WordPress as the front-end for their own state online healthcare exchanges, as well as one state—Illinois—that is using the popular content management system within their own joint Federal-State exchange.
  • Byers was perhaps spurred on by one of his sources for the piece, Peter Slutsky, director of platform services as Automattic, the commercial venture behind web site hosting service Wordpress.com. Slutsky and Byer's other source, venture capitalist Fred Wilson, advocated the use of Wordpress or some other open source based CMS, like Drupal or Joomla, as they way to go for HealthCare.gov.

Bloggers, Rejoice: Flattr Uses Social Media to Reward Content Creators | Fast Company - 0 views

Crowdfunding Flattr

shared by Pedro Gonçalves on 14 Mar 11 - No Cached
  • When you sign up for Flattr, a social micropayments service, you dedicate a flat fee per month to the site. As you're surfing the web, you can click "Flattr" buttons next to a blog post, song, or podcast to put your money where your "likes" are. At the end of each month, your flat fee is evenly divided amongst the creators you've chosen.
  • communities of creators (podcasters, citizen journalists, open source 3d printer hackers) are increasingly adopting Flattr as a virtual tip jar. The site's still small--70,000 users. The amounts are small, too--users pledge an average of 3 euros a month and click just a handful of times, with each click averaging half a euro in value. But as cofounder Linus Olsson told Fast Company today after his SXSW panel, the cultural impact of this kind of crowdfunding is growing.
  • "Money's just another tool to help people do what you think is important."

Attention Web Ipad

shared by Pedro Gonçalves on 11 Mar 11 - No Cached
  • A new study shows that readers find their minds wandering when using iPad versions of magazines. Publishers had always figured that the iPad magazine, being an interactive experience, would necessarily be different from the print incarnation, with readers bouncing around a bit. But the reality exceeds even that expectation.
  • "We thought that of course there's a lot of activity going on on an iPad, when there's so many things you can be doing -- between email, Netflix, playing games, reading magazines -- but they're actually bouncing around a lot more than we thought,"
  • the hope for many in publishing was that iPad magazines would be so engrossing that they would be "sticky," holding an audience captive similar to the way paper magazines do. In the ideal, rosiest scenario, from both the editorial and advertising standpoint, iPad magazines would lure readers, keep them there, draw their attention to elegant ads, and occasionally lead to direct purchases as a result of that ad.

  • "Publishers seemed to have this fantasy that iPad would allow them to call time out on the Internet," Gene Liebel, a partner at the interactive agency HUGE, tells Fast Company. The idea is that for 10 years, publishing suffered from the Internet and its indignities, but that all of a sudden, thanks to the benevolent Steve Jobs, "now we're back, now we're gonna call a time out, start over, sell magazines at full price with immersive ads," and so on. But the tablet isn't some new digitally enabled omnibus magazine. "The tablet in the home is really one more Internet device," says Liebel. "Safari is still by far the biggest app. So the idea that everyone would go home and have 20 paid content apps and that's their new lifestyle is not even close to true."
