    Great presentation on how to make your mark in the digital world
  • Andrew DeWitt on 21 Sep 10
     
    Here is the comment I left on the SlideShare website: This is super important stuff, thank you for sharing. In our digital age, a person's ability to market themselves on the web is a form of social capital. The more people follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and the blogosphere, the greater influence we can have. It makes me think about what happens in the book, 'Ender's Game' by Orson Scott Card. In the story, Peter and Valentine publish a lot of political commentary under aliases which eventually have a huge impact on world politics. Our future world may be run by those who can best market themselves and let their voice be heard.

    Check out my newest blog entry and you'll see that I have a photoshop tutorial posted! I discuss textures and their many uses in this entry, so it will likely be very useful for a good resource for textures if you want to create new media through the most powerful tool that is Adobe Photoshop CS4!

    A potent and sobering call for reflection about our uses of tech and media. This has the merit of not being dismissive and of being realistic and helpful. Worth reading.

      Do you agree with this?
  • This is in many ways a wonderful thing. There is strength in weak ties, as the sociologist Mark Granovetter has observed. Our acquaintances—not our friends—are our greatest source of new ideas and information. The Internet lets us exploit the power of these kinds of distant connections with marvellous efficiency. It’s terrific at the diffusion of innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, seamlessly matching up buyers and sellers, and the logistical functions of the dating world. But weak ties seldom lead to high-risk activism.
  • The evangelists of social media don’t understand this distinction; they seem to believe that a Facebook friend is the same as a real friend and that signing up for a donor registry in Silicon Valley today is activism in the same sense as sitting at a segregated lunch counter in Greensboro in 1960.

  • Boycotts and sit-ins and nonviolent confrontations—which were the weapons of choice for the civil-rights movement—are high-risk strategies. They leave little room for conflict and error. The moment even one protester deviates from the script and responds to provocation, the moral legitimacy of the entire protest is compromised.

      But it was just a phone.
  • A networked, weak-tie world is good at things like helping Wall Streeters get phones back from teen-age girls.
  • These events in the early sixties became a civil-rights war that engulfed the South for the rest of the decade—and it happened without e-mail, texting, Facebook, or Twitter.
  • The cadre of prominent bloggers, like Andrew Sullivan, who championed the role of social media in Iran, Esfandiari continued, misunderstood the situation. “Western journalists who couldn’t reach—or didn’t bother reaching?—people on the ground in Iran simply scrolled through the English-language tweets post with tag #iranelection,” she wrote. “Through it all, no one seemed to wonder why people trying to coordinate protests in Iran would be writing in any language other than Farsi.”
  • “It is time to get Twitter’s role in the events in Iran right,” Golnaz Esfandiari wrote, this past summer, in Foreign Policy. “Simply put: There was no Twitter Revolution inside Iran.”
  • What mattered more was an applicant’s degree of personal connection to the civil-rights movement.

open government social media

shared by Ariel Szuch on 17 Sep 10 - No Cached
  • The issue of data leaks through new communication channels is not a negligible concern within the Office of the CIO, particularly as open government efforts move forward. Asked about that issue, Baitman said: "Open government is about communicating with the public, not sharing sensitive data. To the extent that we do share data, we extensively scrub it. Open government has nothing to do with personally identifiable information (PII). That has to do with what government is doing for and behalf of its citizens."
  • Ariel Szuch on 17 Sep 10
     
    I thought this was an interesting blend of some of the concepts we've been discussing in class, namely social media and open government, and how the two fit together.

  • The second trend is simply that anything that touches digital networks quickly feels the effect of falling costs.
  • And that meant software of broader appeal, which brought in more users, who in turn found even more uses for computers.

      I actually agree that some things, maybe even more things, should be free. But not as a marketing ploy. And this system seems to go against our capitalist ideals of competition.
  • The most common of the economies built around free is the three-party system. Here a third party pays to participate in a market created by a free exchange between the first two parties.

      Where the money comes in.
  • There are dozens of ways that media companies make money around free content, from selling information about consumers to brand licensing, "value-added" subscriptions, and direct ecommerce
  • subscription model of media and is one of the most common Web business models.
  • Isn't it just the free sample model found everywhere from perfume counters to street corners?
  • the manufacturer gives away only a tiny quantity
  • A typical online site follows the 1 Percent Rule — 1 percent of users support all the rest.
  • Yahoo's pay-per-pageview banners, Google's pay-per-click text ads, Amazon's pay-per-transaction "affiliate ads," and site sponsorships were just the start.

Facebook, texting help first-year students connect IRL - 1 views

news.byu.edu/archive10-oct-facebook.aspx

shared by Katherine Chipman on 04 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • The first-year students averaged 52 minutes per day on social networks such as Facebook. On average, they sent between 11 and 20 text messages per day and spent 45 minutes texting or talking on a cell phone. Most students had between 150 and 200 Facebook friends.
  • More significantly, Jacobsen’s analysis reveals that Facebook and cell phones facilitated face-to-face interactions for this group of students. Initially the researchers suspected that digital media would partially replace offline socializing. Instead they found that face time increased by 10 to 15 minutes for every hour spent with social media and cell phones.
