The Stimulus Tracker on CNNMoney.com - Track the economic stimulus package in detail - 10 views

  •  
    Cool top-level view structure. We need a structure like this for social mapping as an alternative. I always wanted one of these for my twines in Twine. What if everyone who had a Diigo had one of these to SEE what was being created and to whom they are connected.
  •  
    That's really COOL. I like the relativity with size relationship thing they gots goin' on. I want it to go on more though--3 levels just isn't enough. It would also be incredible if we could spin-axis and view from other directions as well. Remember this?   http://www.twine.com/item/11808fysj-523/3d-twine

    Remember these? Ha Ha However, we could use this to keep track of all of our stuff in Diigo and elsewhere.
  •  
    That's pretty cool. I like how the connection chain is dynamic as you click it. Lots of wasted real estate at the bottom however. It would be nice to get a preview of the selection instead of just a link. Man you connected a lot of stuff!!!
  •  
    This was a real early version. I'm working on a version with everything that I've done in Twine using this app that has more than 27k items to it. It's the one that Bent help me make a file with NSA. I'd really like to know if Twine will maintain the urls from T1 after going to T2. If I could get the Twine files into Diigo, I could do a bulk change, and recast the front end.

Bookmarks and other Google products : Troubleshooting bookmarks and lists - Bookmarks Help - 3 views

  • Google Bookmarks currently supports Google Maps, Google Toolbar, and Google Web Search. Items you bookmark or star in any of these products will appear on your Google Bookmarks home page, where you can add labels or organize them in lists. If you currently use another program or application to create bookmarks, you can use a bookmarklet to easily create Google Bookmarks instead. Drag this bookmarklet to your browser's bookmarks bar: Google Bookmark Any time you visit a webpage that you want to save to your Google Bookmarks page, simply click the bookmarklet in the bookmarks bar.
  •  
    and look--a bookmarklet. Now where have we seen THAT before?

    I'm pretty excited about Google doing this finally. But how about the Diigo lists? You seemed pretty excited about them at some point. Did you make any use of them? I only see the "top 10 european retailers" in your public lists.
  •  
    Lists can have sections: once you've created a list, you can organize it, ie move items up and down just as with Diigo lists, but you can also create sections and then move items to those sections. Now can you have subsections? Apparently not. Well, one level of subsections may be good enough after all.
  •  
    another project waiting for attention. I had all sorts of good intentions to explore 'lists', but have gotten really busy at work these days--typical 'right-sizing' actions by my employer have cut design staff to save money, while at the same time, pressuring the sales-force to bring in more business, meaning more efforts required by fewer bodies, under increased pressure to perform under tightened time constraints. this fish has no time to swim--too occupied dodging sharks! I am hoping that lists on google become more functional--as it is now, you have to bookmark first, then go to your bookmarks page to share to a list. they shoulda bought Twine just to learn that one!

Why POiU? Why now? « POiU - 11 views

  •  
    "POiU is being created because the world is changing. The recent expansion of social media platforms shrank our world and broadened people's ability to communicate and connect regardless of physical location, cultural or even linguistic barriers. In addition to immense opportunities, we face significant challenges as a community. If not addressed and decisively tackled, these challenges could jeopardize the quality of life and even our very existence as an evolving human civilization. There are warning signs already: the widespread economic and financial instability, unclear energy future, uncontrollable environmental changes and growing gaps and failures to deliver adequate food, water, healthcare, education, and other resources and services that support society wellbeing and development. These warning signs could lead to acute and systemic crises resulting in general misery and destruction. Our best chance at overcoming this outcome is to utilize the tools we have today to tap into the collective wisdom and together select the best solutions and together put them into action. History teaches us that war has been the way in which countries could achieve total coordination to pull out of massive economical crises. But today, social networks present an alternative, allowing total coordination of the masses. This is a tool that, for the first time in our evolution, offers a constructive way to unlock the power of our collective mind and unite us under a common purpose of finding answers to our current challenges. Our future is at stake. Focusing on the opportunities and solutions, POiU will capitalize on the power of social networking to enable positive change. Together, we are building a fully functioning online society with governance and commerce, fostering a personal sense of place and belonging. This effort is empowered by POiU's launch of a collaborative platform that aims to become one component of the new coordinating system we need. The answers to our cha

    Wildcat - are you a participant? Do you know any of the folks participating in POiU? I'm interested; what I see (in about 30 minutes) verifies the way I see the world going! Your other thoughts?
  •  
    no, actually I just came across this few days ago and still trying to understand the idea.. that we need a new coordinating system is beyond dispute, however if Poiu has anything of value to add to the debate I am not sure, will do some more research..
  •  
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Exchange_Trading_Systems does look like the general idea. I do think that the world is entering a period of 'collectivity' but it's not formed in any place that's far enough along to know what to do with it except to 'volunteer' at this point.
  •  
    ok... this is eerily like what we were describing yesterday in: http://message.diigo.com/message/so-i-will-now-try-a-bit-of-blogging-my-aunt-observed-today-that-social-networking-is-the-21st-cen-723705 Also, they say it is a country. VERY interesting. Kinda reminds me of Mr Lee's Greater Hong Kong franchises in Neal Stephenson's "Snowcrash" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Crash Of course by the time set in the story private countries are physical and not only virtual.

Ning now supports 2 million social networks, touches up branding | VentureBeat - 2 views

  • Ning, the company that lets you build your own social network, crossed the two-million network mark this month. Co-founded by Marc Andreessen, Ning helps people create niche social networks around special interests from social justice to late-night comedy shows. The Palo Alto-based company now has 41 million members across its networks, adding 1 million new communities since April of last year.

    I really disliked the ning experience
  •  
    yes, it was disappointing at the time. but they have added special sauce and Twitter integration--I know how muxh that rings your bell.
  •  
    Special sauce AND Twitter integration - I'm getting into Twitter! I get more interesting information from my Twitter feed than from anywhere right now - how strange is that?
  •  
    I've never gotten twitter, not sure I ever will, it is the spew, structured by hashtag. Special sauce is evil. Marc Andreessen is a brilliant guy, would love to have him on this project. That said I squatted on a bunch of twitter names early on and should have taken twittersquatter.com (avail then, not anymore) and market a twitter name keep alive service that keeps your twitter account active by pumping ads through it, then on the same site has a twitter name exchange that takes a cut of every txn. With twitter threatening to recycle inactive names could make a fortune. Makes me feel dirty though. Yours for the taking. Since I have a bunch of followers on accounts I've never used, spamming the spammers with the keep alive would be poetically satisfying

    I do not see the point in moving to ning, less capable than diigo

    Never liked making money very much - too much trouble - I'm a retired professor, for God's sake! But, I love working with people that get in my head and stay there (a paraphrase of one of your remarks, I believe!) And, I like doing good things ...

Analyst: Email will lose ground to social networks | VentureBeat - 3 views

  • Gartner recently published a list of five new predictions about “social software” that show mix of optimism and pessimism about whether these tools will be embraced by businesses. The most grandiose prediction is the first — that by 2014, social networking services will replace email as the primary communication tool for 20 percent of business users.
  • Gartner also argues that the distinction between email and social networks is disappearing, with social networks adding email-like capabilities while email adds social data.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • By 2014, social networking services will replace e-mail as the primary vehicle for interpersonal communications for 20 percent of business users. By 2012, over 50 percent of enterprises will use activity streams that include microblogging, but stand-alone enterprise microblogging will have less than 5 percent penetration. Through 2012, over 70 percent of IT-dominated social media initiatives will fail. Within five years, 70 percent of collaboration and communications applications designed on PCs will be modeled after user experience lessons from smartphone collaboration applications. Through 2015, only 25 percent of enterprises will routinely utilize social network analysis to improve performance and productivity.

    I know several examples of my friends (non-techie) that are already doing this. They seem to like it much better - all their friends in one place. The favorite if Facebook. I can't figure out who's reading what that I write, so I'm less interested right now, but if preferences/settings were much more obvious, this seems like it will happen. Right now notification seems to be working for me in Diigo.
  •  
    this seems like so much bs to me - facebook will be used for one to many, email client will be the notification/alert single screen of attention for everyone over 30. kiddies will likely embrace the new tech, and text will be their notification or they will use a phone client of some sort to aggregate. hopefully we can come up with a device independent alert/notification management interface that can 'replace' the email client (I'm getting pretty tired of managing social networks from an email client), but I bet it will be one of the email client providers who will figure that out and own it. it may mean handling more protocols in email client. the cardinal example in my mind is iCal handling in email clients - it automatically presents a different UI for that message - why shouldn't an email client be able to do everything facebook does? I think the paragraph from Gartner is so much bs as we have no real fixing of terms - will the email client as we know it today disappear, YES will the experience of messaging be more like facebook, GOD I HOPE NOT, but perhaps, but is this research worth paying for? frigging sound bites

Bing, Google, And The Enigmatic T2: The Race For A Complete Semantic Search Engine - 7 views

  • It’s easy to read too much into these idle Tweets.  Spivack is the CEO of a search startup. It stands to reason that he would have meetings with Google and and other big search engines about lots of things, ranging from licensing his semantic search technology to an outright sale.  The one thing it is pretty safe to conclude is that both Google and Bing are very interested in semantic search.  Bing seems to be further along than Google, as the launch of recipe search indicates.

    Sorry, can't get into that wave again... Other than that; I have the impression that Wave speed has been improving greatly in the last days. It's getting almost usable now, even on large waves.
  •  
    Try now, François!
  •  
    thks Jack
  •  
    Thanks Jack!! For everyone, I have added new questions and some clarification sub-questions. Check back periodically to see/contribute to this document growing. Anyone who can't get in, please contact me: underbrain.industries@googlewave.com into your Wave contacts. I will add you to the poll wave. Or if you are connected with someone who is in, they can add you. I am attempting to flesh this survey out with more functionality, please add any questions that you think will add to the discussion. Peace!
  •  
    Continuing great job with this GWave, Frank. Come all and join in and tell all your preferences. The last junket of age is your preferences! lol And, ... I still have mine, ... for the moment. So, ... come on over before I lose some of mine ... lol
  •  
    Morning Jack!! On the subject of the survey's map, I made it public for easy access, and we have new flag from a new participant named Barney Lerten, in Bend, Oregon.....anybody know him??? Part of the little difficulties with Wave right now...public is public. Ah well....
  •  
    Morning Frank! Kurt and I talked a few days ago about this - he was concerned about locking things down at this point. I don't know Barney. Kurt?
  •  
    Never heard of Barney before either. He was invited to the wave by "Public". As you say, Frank, public is public.
  •  
    It's a concern I share. That's why i move the stuff to Wave. we need a list of eceryone in the groups Wave IDs
  •  
    For my 2 sense...don't use Wave--set a private group here or somewhere else, that doesn't have the public/private issues of wave. the problem with wave is there is no central management--anyone can add anyone else to the wave, and pretty soon, ALL your content is visible. I suggest something a little bit more locked down, unless you want to be truly open-source, in which case, take Bent's lead, and move your discussions to codeshare.
  •  
    hey fish!! the only issue is that I was dumb and made something public. we have the same issues on Diigo. We just need a Wave group that includes all the interested people.
  •  
    Agree with Frank. There is no use in letting Barney tell us where he lives, if we want to use the map gadget to choose a good place for a meatspace meeting. So this particular wave, given its intent, should have been restricted to the group. In many cases, I think it could be harmless to open a wave to the public: the crowd can contribute good things, we all know that... But I still think that, by default, wave access should be restricted to group members. It would maximize the sharing of relatively private or "sensitive" information within the group. It would also help keeping the discussions on topic (side-tracking is very easy in all forum discussions and the more people you have in the conversation the more side-tracking you get). Now of course anyone in the group can invite anyone, even "Public" into the wave: just like anyone who has access to a private document can copy it and paste it on a blog or any public place.
  •  
    Yes F1 (Francois, I will be F2)!! i think we can use the wave structures to keep things private and the fact that any of us can add anyone can be moderated by convention and the trust we have begun to build with each other. plus the reinforcement from the system, in that we all can see who has added whom. Plus the ability to delete participants will come along eventually. Thanks F1!!!
