  • Chief among our insights was that "the network as platform" means far more than just offering old applications via the network ("software as a service"); it means building applications that literally get better the more people use them, harnessing network effects not only to acquire users, but also to learn from them and build on their contributions.
  • building applications that literally get better the more people use them
  • Data is the "Intel Inside" of the next generation of computer applications.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • ata is being collected, presented, and acted upon in real time. The scale of participation has increased by orders of magnitude.

  • All of a sudden, we’re not using search via a keyboard and a stilted search grammar, we’re talking to and with the Web. It’s getting smart enough to understand some things (such as where we are) without us having to tell it explicitly. And that’s just the beginning.
  • But it’s important to realize that machine learning techniques apply to far more than just sensor data.
  • information shadows
  • geotagging
  • The smartphone revolution has moved the Web from our desks to our pockets. Collective intelligence applications are no longer being driven solely by humans typing on keyboards but, increasingly, by sensors.
  • With more users and sensors feeding more applications and platforms, developers are able to tackle serious real-world problems.
  • The Web is no longer a collection of static pages of HTML that describe something in the world. Increasingly, the Web is the world – everything and everyone in the world casts an "information shadow," an aura of data which, when captured and processed intelligently, offers extraordinary opportunity and mind bending implications.
  • It’s easy to forget that only 15 years ago, email was as fragmented as social networking is today, with hundreds of incompatible email systems joined by fragile and congested gateways. One of those systems – internet RFC 822 email – became the gold standard for interchange.
  • They thus turn what at first appeared to be unstructured into structured data.

  • Welcome on our wiki. Internet is one center of our academic life. We search papers on the web, find the latest academic news and progress, we get in touch with Labs and professors we are interested in… However, we believe the potential of internet in promoting open education and research has not yet fully explored. Many possibilities that will greatly facilitate our research and enhance collaboration are there, but we still need to truly put them in action. Our aim is to help students anywhere in the world by being a central point of information about the use of Open Source [web] tools to assist education and research. Our project is open. We warmly welcome any motivated participant. Let's change the future together.
