1.0 Is the Loneliest Number - Matt Mullenweg - 0 views

  • f you’re not embarrassed when you ship your first version you waited too long
  • You think your business is different, that you’re only going to have one shot at press and everything needs to be perfect for when Techcrunch brings the world to your door. But if you only have one shot at getting an audience, you’re doing it wrong.
  • In that short rapid iteration environment the most important thing isn’t necessarily how perfect code is when you send it out, but how quickly you can revert if you need to so the cost of a mistake is really low, under a minute of brokenness.
  •  
    Someone can go from idea to working code to production and more importantly real users in just a few minutes and I can't imagine any better form of testing.

Twitter, SXSW, and Building a 21st Century Business - 0 views

  • Principles, not product.
  • Be a force for good. That's Twitter's new foundational principle — and it's interesting because it takes Google's foundational principle and does it one better.
  • Openness as a survival strategy. I

  • Twitter's been focused on openness, and his response was that it's a "survival strategy." New ideas, new concepts, new applications — all flow to open organizations. That's a great way to express the point that for next-gen organizations, openness is now table stakes: fail at it, and you're not even in the game.
  • That's what 21st century organizations look like: networks, not pyramids.
  • Doors versus windows
  • That's pretty radical. Wall St, Detroit, Big Food, Big Software and HMOs are just a few for whom win/wins have mattered little, if at all. It's a simple, powerful way to frame next-gen strategy in a nutshell.
  • , Ev said: better connections, better information — better choices
  • Just as the fundamental challenge of the 21st century is making authentically, meaningfully better stuff, for the 21st century media it's communicating in better ways — not simply bombarding the reader-"consumer" with more, bigger, louder ads.
  • Erasing information asymmetries is where the future of advertising lies. But you can't get there unless you can build a 21st century business first.

The Future of Privacy - 0 views

  • If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place
  • accept the premise that privacy is about hiding a wrong. It’s not. Privacy is an inherent human right, and a requirement for maintaining the human condition with dignity and respect.’

What is the Definition of Government 2.0? - 1 views

  •  
    This is about the merger of Government 2.0 and Citizen 2.0 = People enforcing their ownership of the Government. Not vice-versa.
  •  
    >> People enforcing their ownership of the Government. Not vice-versa. Das wäre eher die Definition für Open Government für mich, Gov 2.0 ist die Verwendung von Web 2.0 Komponenten im Government-Prozess. Was über Umwege "enforcing their ownership of the Government" bedeuten kann, aber eben nicht muss, weil es keine Garantie dafür gibt.

Free Our Books and research papers - 1 views

  • We, the citizens, through the state, pay for the production of academic books and research papers twice, first through salaries and research grants, and second through the purchase of books and journal subscriptions. This is how the the most fundamental principles of academia, to study and to share its findings, are obstructed, and its operation is made far more expensive and cumbersome.

Study links online transparency efforts, trust in government - Nextgov - 0 views

  • The first-ever quantitative assessment of online open government efforts has concluded that the perceived transparency of federal Web sites drives trust in government.
  • The longstanding approach to quantifying transparency has been, "well let's measure how much data they put out there," said Larry Freed, ForeSee Results' president and chief executive officer. "To me, that's not measuring transparency. That may be measuring confusion."
  • "If citizens find e-government transparent, they are more likely to return to the site, recommend it, and use it instead of a more costly channel," the study found. "They even express more trust in the government agency."
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Citizens who believe a site is highly transparent are 46 percent more likely to trust the overall government, 49 percent more likely to use the site as a primary resource and 37 percent more likely to return to the site, according to the study.
  • McClure also noted that a site's perceived transparency can save the government money by encouraging citizens to access services online, rather than through less efficient channels.
  • Other departments that want to make their sites more transparent "should stand firm when those at the helm pressure them to ignore what the audience wants, and instead design for the internal audience,"
