  • Is Yoda, You Are Luke: How the Video Site Became Our Storehouse of Folk Knowledge
  • What makes it special is that YouTube taps people who want to show you what they know, not write about it. Learning from YouTube is more like a momentary apprenticeship than it is like book learning, and that's what makes it so great.
  • I started Googling.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Somehow, then, perhaps Google surfaced the video through search, I found my way to YouTube
  • What I love about this kind of knowledge transfer is that it's so human. The video is shot from a first-person point-of-view, the narrator talks directly to you, and there are no cuts.
  • If you start to search around on YouTube for various household fix-ups, you find all kinds of people posting similar how-tos.
  • But mostly it's just helpful people who decided to record a video and post it to YouTube for some reason.

  • J.C. Penney employees are reported to have watched five million YouTube videos from the office during the month of January.
  • the number of YouTube videos watched on the clock is astronomical, belonging to the category of numbers so large that you should write them like this: 107. 
  • YouTube says it streams more than 4 billion videos per day, with about 40 percent coming from the US, so 1.6 billion American streams each day. Let's assume there are 300 million Americans who all watch exactly the same amount of videos each day.

  • With 72 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, almost every moment of modern history is a cult waiting to happen. And it is becoming big business.
  • The billion dollar question is how: how to make your video “go viral”, spreading your particular slice of contemporary culture across the planet like a contagion.
  • Silliness is more important – but not vital, given that both the Kony documentary and the jump from space are entirely serious.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Similarly, although sex may remain the most powerful form of advertising, it barely features within this list. Visual excitement won’t do either, given that the year’s second-biggest hit features a single camera pointed at five people and a guitar.
  • irality isn’t actually a property of these videos at all. It’s a property of their audience: a description not of a particular object, but of the ways in which that object is used.
  • To pass on a video or link is to become an evangelist for an instant cult: to gain the status of an initiate, complete with social capital and mutual LOLs. Unlike a biological virus, which hijacks hapless cells no matter what their owners might want, these are infections you must decide to pass on.

  • If fact there is little sign in the data that machines are displacing humans any faster than usual
  • Perhaps because of uncertainty, though that’s a poor explanation for a phenomenon occurring globally.
  • How to put a price on the contribution of Facebook or Twitter to the Arab spring?
  • IN THE battle between David Einhorn and Apple over the latter's $137 billion cash hoard lies a deeper lesson about the outlook for the economy. Mr Einhorn, an activist investor, says Apple clings to its money out of a “Depression mentality”. Perhaps. But the more mundane explanation is that Apple, like many of the world's big companies today, is generating more cash from its existing product line than it can usefully plough back into new projects.
  • Today, we all know Apple’s products, and a lot of us own one. Yet it is hard to identify the impact they or any of today's social-media giants have had on productivity. I was at first delighted with the convenience and freedom to read documents, check Twitter and search the web on the iPad mini I got in December, but it occurred to me recently that this was at best an incremental improvement over doing it on my BlackBerry or laptop. It also provides me with many more ways to waste time. As Tom Toles, the Washington Post’s cartoonist, puts it:
  • No doubt some of those YouTube videos were being watched over Apple products. Not that I blame Apple for Penney’s culture (after all, Google owns YouTube), but it is a reminder that the social-media revolution has been a mixed blessing. Yahoo at one time stood atop the Internet but the ability of its workers to do their job from anywhere may be backfiring on productivity
  • are genuine benefits of social media and the related hardware. In its first few decades the computer/internet revolution re-engineered business processes, enabling companies to interact with each other and customers in more ways at lower cost than ever, producing measurable, bankable results. Now, it’s leading to brand-new consumer products, many of whose  benefits are unmeasured or unmeasurable.

  • Predavanja zvenečih svetovnih znanstvenikov le 'klik' stran Intervju z urednikom portala Davorjem Orličem 24. februar 2013 ob 07:00 Ljubljana - MMC RTV SLO "VideoLectures.Net so v resnici mala univerza, ki je vsem dostopna in na kateri lahko vsak kaj najde," Davor Orlič pojasnjuje idejo za inovativnim, uspešnim in nagrajenim projektom IJS-ja.
  • Spletni portal, nekakšen znanstveni YouTube, ki ga ustvarja manjša ekipa sodelavcev na Inštitutu Jožef Stefan, poznajo vsi, ki se navdušujejo nad dodatnim znanjem, izobraževanjem in informacijami z najrazličnejših znanstvenih področij. Njegov izjemen prispevek k omogočanju kroženja znanja so prepoznali tudi v Združenih narodih in Unescu, saj so jih pred dnevi razglasili za najboljši produkt desetletja v kategoriji "e-znanost in tehnologija". Na portalu so namreč vsakomur dostopni videoposnetki predavanj odmevnih znanstvenikov, raziskovalcev in direktorjev, kar pomeni, da lahko kar v svoji sobi prisluhnemo, kaj je v zadnjem predavanju povedal Noam Chomsky ali Tim Berners-Lee, ki je zasnoval svetovni splet. Tako lahko vsak, ki ima dostop do spleta, prisluhne znanju s Harvarda, Oxforda, MIT-ja, pa tudi z ljubljanske univerze.
  • O projektu in njihovem poslanstvu smo se pogovarjali z urednikom portala Videolectures.net Davorjem Orličem.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Menim, da smo na začetku bili ena prvih spletnih videoknjižnic
  • Večinoma nas povabijo, da pridemo snemat, kar pomeni, da razumejo, v kakšne promocijske namene jim služi posneti dogodek. Tudi mi, predvsem v bližnji okolici, stopimo v stik z organizatorji, če zasledimo predavanja eminentnih avtorjev. Nazadnje smo tako dali pobudo za snemanje predavanja Noama Chomskega v Trstu.
  • Pozitivni odzivi pa niso le v znanstveni ali razvojno-raziskovalni skupnosti, temveč predvsem pri gledalcih videoposnetkov. Teh mi ne imenujemo uporabniki, temveč učenci (learners).
  • Za nas je pomembno, da so to brezplačna, odprta predavanja in da je avtorjem to všeč - da dajo svoje stvaritve na razpolago vsem in razumejo, da gre za širjenje znanja.
  • gre za popularizacijo, a ne v smislu, da bi se snov predstavljala na enostaven način. VideoLectures.Net so v resnici mala univerza, ki je vsem dostopna in na kateri vsak lahko kaj najde, če ima čas, da si ogleda 45-minutne posnetke, in željo po učenju.
  • Lahko naštejete nekaj imen znanih predavateljev, ki so objavljeni pri vas?Slavoj Žižek, Jure Leskovec, Umberto Eco, Noam Chomsky, Walter Lewin iz MIT-ja, Tim Berners-Lee – izumitelj interneta. Presenetljivo veliko znanih imen je pri nas.
  • Veliko pa je tudi slovenskih predavanj, okoli 1.700. To je največja takšna slovenska nacionalna zbirka. Trenutno imamo nov projekt, s katerim raziskujemo možnost avtomatičnega podnaslavljanja in prevajanja podnapisov za predavanja, da bi omogočili vsem gledalcem predavanja v njihovem jeziku.
  • Na portalu je trenutno 16.000 predavanj, ki so večinoma v angleščini.
  • Ogledov imamo okoli 10.000 na dan. YouTube ima seveda veliko več dnevnih ogledov, a moramo vedeti, da mi ponujamo daljša, 45-minutna predavanja. Najbolj gledana so predavanja s področja računalništva. Največ obiskov imamo iz ZDA, Indije, Kitajske, Nemčije, Velike Britanije pa tudi iz Slovenije. Obiskujejo nas iz večjih mest, kjer so univerze – London, Ljubljana, New York, pa tudi kjer so raziskovalni centri.
  • VideoLectures.Net ni profitni projekt, zato smo že tukaj omejeni s finančnimi prilivi. Pod okriljem inštituta smo finančno samozadostni in neodvisni, predvsem zaradi raziskovalnih projektov, ki potrebujejo naše storitve

  • Google is not only the world's largest search engine, it's one of the top three email providers, a social network, and owner of the Blogger platform and the world's largest video site, YouTube. Facebook has the social contacts, messages, wallposts and photos of more than 750 million people.

  • One piece of information – a supposed engagement to a schoolfriend, Amy Holmes – stands out. A Facebook "joke" that seemed faintly funny for about a week several years ago was undone by hiding it from any and all Facebook users, friends or otherwise (to avoid an "… is now single!" status update). The forgotten relationship helpfully explains why Facebook has served me up with badly targeted bridalwear adverts for several years, and reassures me that Facebook doesn't know quite everything.
  • This is the core of the main comfort
  • despite their mountain of data, Google and Facebook seem largely clueless, too – they've had no more luck making any sense out of it than I have. And that, for now, is a relief.

  • After Leveson: the internet needs regulation to halt 'information terrorism'
  • We are heading into a future of no regulation with the internet where its monoliths will have plenty of clout, pretty well unfettered by democratic national governments (but not totalitarian ones, like China).

  • it is no longer reasonable for the big players - the Googles, Facebooks, YouTubes and Twitters - to say: "Nothing to do with us, guv, we only provide the pipes. What goes through them, that's up to the folk who put it there."
  • To illustrate an example of information misuse, it's worth recounting the alarming experience of a work colleague at the hands of Facebook. Someone he did not know took his name and set up a Facebook page purporting to be his, along with a photo and several intimate details, some true, some false.
  • Citing "freedom of expression", which like motherhood and apple pie is impossible to attack, they will host their anonymous contributors' bullying, lies, smears, breathtaking invasions of privacy

ITU nadzorovanje internetni promet internetne vsebine dpi pregledovanje

shared by Katja Saje on 06 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • Mednarodna zveza za telekomunikacije (ITU) potrdila standard za podrobno pregledovanje internetnega prometa (deep packet inspection, dpi).
  • Internetni promet je sestavljen iz t. i. paketov. V vsakem je del vsebine (spletne strani, datoteke ali česa drugega), paket pa je opremljen še s kopico drugih podatkov, od glave (header) do opisa protokolov, storitev in še marsičesa. Glava je nekakšna kuverta, v njej so zapisani glavni podatki, da lahko brskalnik ali drug program iz več paketkov, ki lahko potujejo povsem neodvisno drug od drugega, sestavi pravo vsebino.
  • Z dpi pa vidijo tako vrsto internetnega prometa kot njegovo vsebino. Zakaj je to pomembno? Operaterji lahko tako »upravljajo« promet. Kar v praksi pomeni, da upočasnjujejo ali celo blokirajo posamezne vrste prometa, denimo torrente ali telefonijo IP (skype). Lahko pa bi tudi ponujali naročnino na hitrejši youtube, morda posebej prodajali dostop do facebooka.

  • pojasnilo ITU, zakaj so sprejeli standard, gre v tej smeri. Češ, operaterji so doslej namenjali »preveliko« pasovno širino posameznim uporabnikom ali storitvam. Zdaj, ko vsebine postajajo vse bolj potratne glede količine podatkov, pa dpi po besedah ITU omogoča »natančno in vzdržno upravljanje prometa, ki raste eksponentno«.
  • Telekom, T-2 in Simobil zanikali uporabo dpi, medtem ko Amis ni odgovoril. Na Simobilu so dejali, da o tem »trenutno ne razmišljajo«, na T-2 pa, da »do zdaj niso delali tovrstnih pregledov«.
