What are we going to say about "Cult of the Amateur"?. Many-to-Many: - 0 views

  • Keen’s sub-title, “How today’s internet is destroying our culture”, has more than a grain of truth to it, and the only thing those of us who care about the network could do wrong would be to dismiss Keen out of hand.
  • Scoble scoffed at the idea that there is a war on copyright, but there is a war on copyright, at least as it is currently practiced
  • internet is not an improvement to modern society; it is a challenge to it.

Bokardo » The Del.icio.us Lesson - 0 views

  • Personal Value Precedes Network Value The one major idea behind the Del.icio.us Lesson is that personal value precedes network value. What this means is that if we are to build networks of value, then each person on the network needs to find value for themselves before they can contribute value to the network. In the case of Del.icio.us, people find value saving their personal bookmarks first and foremost.
  • However, Del.icio.us tags aren’t like meta keyword tags because of the Del.icio.us Lesson. Meta keyword tags provide no personal value whatsoever. All of their value is social. They’re for aggregation engines to find and tell other people about. In other words, they’re for getting attention only. Del.icio.us tags, on the other hand, provide personal value each time someone uses them to recall a bookmark.

How I find stuff I like - Alex Barnett blog - 0 views

  • I "prune" feeds as I go and aim not to increase the number of feeds. If a new feed comes in, one must go that session. My main criteria for deciding which feed will go is the last updated date - if the feed hasn't been updated for weeks, it's a gonner. There's enough natural attrition using this criteria to let 1 or 2 new feeds every couple of weeks.
  • Techmeme - two or three times daily. Tells me what's hot and what's not.
  • My del.icio.us network - once daily. I use this page to find out which links "my network" of human bookmarkers (my del.icio.us people) have bookmarked that use use links as recommended reading. Some of these will point to stuff I've already read in my RSS reader (or is waiting to be read), but it works for me as a quick hit for good reading recommendations.

  • When I visit my del.icio.us network page, the "click through rate" on network-recommended content is very high.

Seth's Blog: When bloggers do stuff - 0 views

  • It's frustrating for me to hear, "stick to your blogging," when people criticize a project created by a blogger--because it's part of the blogging, part of the learning, part of what's unfolding. I'd rather read a book that's informed by the activities (not the reporting) of the writer, and I'd rather read a blog that's based on the successes (and failures) of the blogger.

That's not ironic; that's just bloody stupid@Everything2.com - 0 views

  • This piece is actually from an act by Dublin comedian Ed Byrne (he's the one who looks like Darlene from 'Roseanne'). "Rain on your wedding day? That's not ironic, it's just a pain in the hole." "Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife? That's not ironic either, that's just fucking weird. But of course, if you did have ten thousand spoons when all you needed was a knife, and then the next day you discovered that actually a spoon would have done the job just as well, now that would be ironic" "A traffic jam when you're already late. Now that's definitely not ironic. Unless you were a town planner on your way to give a speech at a convention on easing traffic congestion." "Now do you know what's ironic? A stupid, whiny Canadian bint writing a song called 'Ironic' which goes on to become a massive worldwide hit despite her not having the faintest idea what irony actually is. Now that's bleedin' ironic."

Brainstorming: 3 common mistakes that companies make - October 1, 2006 - 0 views

  • Here are the three mistakes that cripple brainstorming. No trained facilitator. One of the key tenets of Osborn's approach is assigning a trained facilitator to guide the sessions. But most corporate brainstorming is led by someone who has little understanding of the process or by a manager who has a vested interest in the outcome. "People are uncomfortable sharing wild ideas in front of their boss,"
  • "Some of the best brainstorming sessions I've been involved in asked me to send my ideas via e-mail before we came together," Wilson says.

Web Worker Daily » Blog Archive 8 Tips for Better del.icio.us Bookmarking « - 0 views

  • While the for: tag is well known among delicious users (and specifically supported by delicious), some delicious users use the via: tag to track who provided a link. That allows people browsing your links to know who else they might want to add to their network on del.icio.us. Ric Hayman of Aqualung proposes that this could form the basis for a reputation economy online.
