  • Bei unseren amerikanischen Kollegen von ScienceBlogs.com geht es gerade rund. Die Blogger verlassen scharenweise die Plattform - Neuron Culture, Science after Sunclipse, Good Math, Bad Math, Neurotopia und Laelaps haben schon ihre Abschiedsbeiträge geschrieben
  • Was ist passiert? Bei SB.com gibt es ein neues Blog - es heisst Food Frontiers und wird von PepsiCo betrieben
  • Natürlich wäre es was anderes, wenn nun die PR-Abteilung von PepsiCo das Blog nutzen würde um einen Beitrag nach dem anderen darüber zu verfassen wie super schmackhaft, gesund und wichtig die PepsiCo-Produkte sind.

  • bei Food Frontiers gibt es bis jetzt nur einen einzigen "Hallo, da sind wir"-Artikel. Ich verstehe also nicht wirklich, warum sich die amerikanischen Blogger-Kollegen nun so enorm aufregen.
  • Aber die eigentliche Frage ist ja eine grundsätzlichere. Wie ich oben schon gesagt habe, arbeiten Wissenschaftler nicht nur an Universitäten sondern auch überall in der Industrie und Wirtschaft. Sind die per se weniger glaubwürdig; weniger unabhängig; wenig verläßlich? Sind Blogs von Industrie-Wissenschaftler a priori mehr PR-Blogs anstatt Wissenschaftsblog?

  • Wikileaks (website) publishes documents that show a plan to curb the free software in the European Union.
  • This file shows that Jonathan Zuck, president of Association for Competitive Technology (ACT) –an organization with close ties to Microsoft–, and founder of Americans for Technology Leadership, had influenced the change of working documents of the European Union.
  • This publication shows how pressure groups influence or attempt to influence the decisions made by the European institutions, but in this case is particularly striking one of these groups trying to influence against free software (ACT) has close ties Microsoft,

    http://www.mint.com | It's official, trillion is the new billion. No longer is government spending talked about in terms of a mere ten digits. With the recent flurry of government spending, we are going to need another three zeros to make sense of it all. One trillion dollars is a number that few people can comprehend, let alone your standard nine digit calculator. So what does one trillion dollars look like?

    In this powerful talk from TEDGlobal, Rebecca MacKinnon describes the expanding struggle for freedom and control in cyberspace, and asks: How do we design the next phase of the Internet with accountability and freedom at its core, rather than control? She believes the internet is headed for a "Magna Carta" moment when citizens around the world demand that their governments protect free speech and their right to connection.

The Government 2.0 Forecast For 2010: 7 Predictions | SocialComputingJournal.com - 0 views

dion Hinchcliffe­ forecast 2010 gov20 gov2.0

shared by Johann Höchtl on 25 Aug 10 - Cached
  • Social computing will continue to grow in government, but won't hit critical mass in 2010.
  • Don't forget that there was some clamping down on social media in government during 2009 including the Marines restricting access to services such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter. Progress in 2010 will be better in state and to a lesser extent local government. The federal government will also struggle with a consistent policy and approach for internal and external social computing, which probably won't emerge next year.
  • Open data goes back to the drawing board. I've been bullish on open data and APIs for years and the government got religion in 2009 with data.gov. But the usage is down as government workers and businesses realize that the data is often far out-of-date and not in forms that can be used operationally.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Cloud computing will go big. While many agencies will just use the technologies internally for now in order to have public options later, there is tremendous interest in the cloud
  • Government portals (rightly) continue to incorporate social media, but deep engagement will be elusive for now. I've seen many overhauls of government portals this year, including Utah.gov and the Department of Defense, prominently incorporate social media right on their home pages. To be clear, these are major advances for the government to make on the internal/external boundary and I encourage them.

shared by Johann Höchtl on 28 Sep 10 - No Cached
  • Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct “peer to peer” messaging like Skype — to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order.
  • The bill, which the Obama administration plans to submit to lawmakers next year, raises fresh questions about how to balance security needs with protecting privacy and fostering innovation.
  • But law enforcement officials contend that imposing such a mandate is reasonable and necessary to prevent the erosion of their investigative powers.

  • Kaum hatte die Seite das Licht der Facebook-Welt erblickt, folgten auch schon die ersten negativen Kommentare. Am Anfang beschränkte sich die Kritik noch auf das "mitgelieferte" Video. Von "arm" oder "verwerflich" war die Rede, "Den Werber (...) solltet ihr rauswerfen!", kommentierte zum Beispiel Manuel. Reaktion durch die Betreuer der Seite: Null. Wenig später schoss sich dann die Facebook-Gemeinde auf die Bahn selbst und ihr Social Media-Auftreten ein. Die Frage nach einer Moderation wurde immer lauter.
  • Die Bilanz nach neun Stunden: Auf insgesamt 37 Posts (die eigenen eingeschlossen) hatten die Betreiber es geschafft, sechs Mal zu kommentieren. Fünf Mal wurde bei einem eigenen und einmal wurde auf einen "externen" Post kommentiert. Ein Online-Dialog auf Facebook sollte einfach anders aussehen. Wer sagt, die Bahn reagiere nur auf inhaltliche Posts zu ihrem "Chefticket" (das eigentlich mit der Seite beworben werden soll), liegt falsch. Fragen, wie der Kunde denn das Ticket über Facebook bezahlt oder überhaupt genau bekommt, blieben ebenfalls unbeantwortet.
  • Interessanter Punkt am Rande ist, dass die Facebook-Vanity-Url "facebook.com/deutschebahn" einer Privatperson gehört - hat die Bahn gar kein Interesse daran? Apropos: Eine allgemeine Facebook-Seite der Bahn gibt es auch. Aber ob die echt ist, ist stark zu bezweifeln. Obwohl, nach dem heutigen Fehlstart der Deutschen Bahn ist eigentlich alles möglich.

  • There are far too many sessions on journalism and policy, and far too little on doing science . . .
  • “killer app” that integrates social media into the mainstream of science.
  • Tools for doing science are much harder to envision and build.  But these sorts of tools are much more likely to see uptake and use by the community, simply because scientists are more interested in doing science than they are in talking about science.

  • ScienceBlogs has around 80 regular bloggers. The Nature Network has around 40 blogs that have been updated in the last month (this figure seems to have dropped by 20% since I last checked). David Bradley lists 600-plus “science type” users of Twitter.
