    I thought I just commented on this but maybe I commented on the wrong thing because I don't see my original comment! I'm definitely new to Diigo. Ben, this post made me wonder...are you familiar with SoundCloud, and if so, do you know of any free online software like it that take mp3 files and convert them to HTML code that can be embedded into a webpage?
  • Ben Bishop on 20 Feb 12
     
    Sound cloud looks really interesting, but they host all of the content and you just send out links to share it. In order to play content on your page, you need a mess of java script commands and I have no idea how to link that to your content... Guess that's why all the bands pay big bucks to have someone build their site for them.

Pinterest Allows Websites to Block Pinning - 0 views

  • 99% of the pins on Pinterest are against the company’s own Terms of Service. Pinterest states that when users pin items, this indicates they are either the exclusive owners of the material or someone has granted them access to re-publish content.
  • One of the points of “Pinterest Etiquette” also stands to remind users to credit sources. Though it is not enforced, Pinterest says, “finding the original source is always preferable to a secondary source such as Google Image Search or a blog entry.”
  • Pinterest is moving towards correcting these flaws. Pinterest is currently following the Digital Millenmium Copyright Act, and will remove any image that someone claims is violating copyright laws.

  • Are Wikipedians good historians? As in the old tale of the blind men and the elephant, your assessment of Wikipedia as history depends a great deal on what part you touch. It also depends, as we shall see, on how you define “history.”

  • Part of the problem is that such broad synthetic writing is not easily done collaboratively.

  • Even Jimmy Wales, who has been more tolerant of “difficult people” than Sanger, complained about “an unfortunate tendency of disrespect for history as a professional discipline.”
  • Wikipedia's view of history is not only more anecdotal and colorful than professional history, it is also—again like much popular history—more factualist.
  • the problem of Wikipedian history is not that it disregards the facts but that it elevates them above everything else and spends too much time and energy (in the manner of many collectors) on organizing those facts into categories and lists.

    This is an article that discusses the views of professional historians regarding wikipedia. I think it makes a number of interesting claims both regarding the management or historical data and wikipedia's role in promoting a particular historical paradigm.

    And we know we couldn't avoid adding the thoughts of Michael Scott on the use of Wikipedia. Obviously, some of our sources seem to take a more genuine approach at propagating the veracity of Wikipedia, but the Office's use of Michael Scott as a supporter does represent people's general fear of the quality of contributor on the site.

    This article examines how Red Hat transitioned from free open source software to a system they sell through a subscription with updates, patches, and bug fixes. Red Hat still provides free code, though; a community project called Fedora provides "a testing ground for the enterprise features delivered to Red Hat's paying customers," allowing both the company and the users to benefit from collaboration. This article shows the balance of sustainability between free and paid access. It also echoes Kenneth Goldman's claims in Uncreative Writing because the CEO says, "If you believe in the concept of modular innovation where a lot of different people add to works that came before them, patents clearly slow that down."

      I found Hayles's views on authorship and Wikipedia to be particularly interesting: {12:03} "I'm not alarmed by Wikipedia. In fact, I think Wikipedia is the best source for some aspects of popular culture. . . And it really is a framework that draws on all the expert knowledge that's out there that doesn't exist in the authorized channels. To me, that's a great thing." {12:58} "It used to be that one would be an author in the sense of producing a print book. That print book would be vetted by expert readers at the press. . . But in Wikipedia, there's a very vibrant back-and-forth between all manner of readers and contributors. . . Rather than being off completely separate from print, in fact, Wikipedia has very complex cross-connections with print authority."

    Here's an interesting interview with N. Katherine Hayles (author of this week's readings) for a program called The Artist's Craft. Hayles talks about some of the concepts found in this week's readings and also touches upon some new ideas. I find the material to be extremely accessible in this Q&A format.

    Red Hat, the world's largest, most successful open source software company and one I'd like to work for in the very near future, submitted this blog post last month about SOPA and PIPA. It explains how such bills could devastate online collaboration, innovation, and the sharing of ideas and technology.
