  • 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.

API brand opendata value R&D

shared by Johann Höchtl on 05 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • With APIs, you let other developers do your R&D for you. The benefit? You get development at scale with minimal investment. You effectively outsource risk because failures don’t cost you anything.
  • It’s easy to envision how brands whose core business revolves around technology or data could make use of an API
  • By providing access to that value through an API, they would allow the delivery of that value to spread exponentially.

shared by Johann Höchtl on 28 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • Public and civic value require commitment and hard work among the core group of participants. It also requires that these groups be self-governing and submit to constraints that help them ignore distracting and entertaining material and stay focused instead on some sophisticated task
  • True socially-infused movements cannot be forced
  • The bad news for marketers is that Shirky’s examples quietly illustrate that we can’t force meaningful social activities. They happen organically, if not accidentally
