The Rise of the Data Self - 0 views

  •  
    A couple of interesting bits from this article: "Data is the authorized way to pursue self-knowledge in the networked society; the other means are suspicious, deluded or outmoded." And on the matter of FB and specifically, the way in which the timeline feature shapes us while serving them: "The more work we put into making a coherent story out of the data Facebook collects, the more useful, marketable information we give them."

Social Informatics Blog - 2 views

  •  
    This looks like a good, up-to-date blog created by a group of PhD students with an interest in social informatics. It includes links to recent papers and studies in many wide-ranging SI areas... some rather engaging, such as the connections b/w censorship and SI. It also has book reviews, such as a review of Virginia Eubank's Digital Deadend -- good stuff on social justice!

    This is a really interesting blog! I particularly enjoyed the "where good ideas come from" video from Oct. 19. Also, I liked the tags, which allowed me to look quickly for posts about a topic that interests me, "Internet Anonymity".
  •  
    Oops, looks like someone else already posted this. You guys have beat me to everything I've found so far! Way to go.
  •  
    In addition to the actual blog, I found this group of researchers also has a Facebook page. I like the option of accessing information this way because Facebook provides snippets from the blog articles, which allows you to screen the content: https://www.facebook.com/SocialInformaticsBlog

For Children, a Social Network With Training Wheels - 2 views

  •  
    A social networking site for kids under 10 developed by a concerned parent.
  •  
    Interesting -- I wasn't too keen on the business model, but it doesn't seem to matter because it appears the site is no longer in service. When you go to its homepage it redirects you to other "family-friendly" sites like Club Penguin and Disney social networks. So goes life on the wild, wooly web... :)

    This is a very interesting idea.. At first I thought that maybe the idea of preselected phrases were a bit much, but then I really thought about the goal of teaching children how to be social in an accountable way. My nephew wanted a facebook page when he was 7, and was on my sisters site all the time. It's natural for children to want to be a part of what is happening socially around them, because as a species we are social; it's not practical to expect children not to partake in these activities.

Berkman Center - 2 views

  •  
    A research center at Harvard University focused on the impact of technology on society. Premised on the observation that what we seek to learn is not already recorded, our method is to build out into cyberspace, record data as we go, self-study, and share. Our mode is entrepreneurial nonprofit.

    I don't remember if anyone posted this -- just wanted you all to be aware of this research center.

    Continuing with the theme of my other bookmarks, this is a lengthy but accessible report by the US Center for International Media Assistance on how mobile devices are changing society and information seeking habits. I don't know about you, but I would have no idea where to dine out were it not for my Yelp app!
