  •  
    'The Physical Internet' as a buzz phrase has been thrown about a fair bit recently and only really recently have I seen things start to get interesting. I really like the idea of making the internet tangible and a flipside to this is taking a real world interaction and broadcasting this onto the net. A few things have made this much more attainable -> 1) Twitter and other systems have opened up to let other systems interact through them via an API to send/retrieve data. 2) Electronics such as arduino or ioBridge have made the geeky electronics bit much easier. 3) Programming interfaces such as Processing or Openframeworks have made the geeky programming bit much easier. Here is a little recap of some interesting/useful/useless/fun interfaces.

Clay Risen -- Germany's Election and the Digital Dark Ages - washingtonpost.com - 0 views

  • Mainstream politicians have responded by pressuring service providers to shut down extremist sites and member pages. Although well-intentioned, that strategy is just further proof of how out of touch they are: As any record company exec will tell you, the Web is far too dynamic a place for blunt regulations. The only way to win over Europe's digital generation is to engage with it on its own terms, in its own media. European political parties need to realize that in the era of Internet politics, winning means ceding a little control -- otherwise, they might lose it completely.

      This type of thinking is lost on political, union and third sector thinking which still aims at smothering the masses with what they think they need instead of simply providing the tool sets for people to use in their own ways to suit their own needs.

    The last paragraphi is the kicker, but the whole article shows why some political groups get social media and some don't.

It's Time To Start Thinking Of Twitter As A Search Engine - 0 views

  • I told him what I thought of Twitter as a micro-blogging service: it’s a collection of emotional grunts. But it’s wonderful nonetheless. And enough people are hooked on it that Twitter has reached critical mass. If something big is going on in the world, you can get information about it from Twitter. Twitter also gathers other information, like people’s experiences with products and services as they interact with them. A couple of months ago, for example, I was stuck in the airport and received extremely poor service from Lufthansa. I twittered my displeasure, which made me feel better - at least I was doing something besides wait in an endless line. I’ve also Twittered complaints about the W Hotel (no Internet, cold room) and Comcast (the usual Internet gripes).

Mumbai-Bombay, congrès du PS, Twitter... : le live, l'arme fatale du particip... - 0 views

  •  
    [Demain tous journalistes ?] "L'objectif, ici, n'est pas de produire une information low-cost sans journalistes, mais de travailler intelligemment dans le cadre d'une info en réseau. Produire une info plus pertinente par rapport aux attentes des lecteurs: hyper réactive, moins conventionnelle dans ses choix, plus "live", plus libre, avec plus de ton, de conversation, beaucoup d'émotion. Je me souviens du live de la nuit électorale américaine, pendant le discours d'Obama, un posteur a écrit: "je suis en train de pleurer". En relisant le live le lendemain, on avait non seulement une idée de ce qui s'était passé, mais aussi de l'émotion qui a saisi la France cette nuit là… D'aucuns répondront qu'il ne s'agit que de "veille d'info". Mais sur Internet, le journalisme de liens (qui trie et donne du sens) est une vraie fonction d'info. Une fonction journalistique, qui peut être assumée par des non-journalistes (le journalisme est alors vu comme une fonction, non plus comme un métier). On peut être non journaliste et excellent lecteur et decrypteur d'info. D'ailleurs, journaliste ou pas journaliste, peu importe. C'est la force du réseau qui constitue la richesse du live "participatif" " (...)

Logic+Emotion: The Human Feed: How Twitter & Networks Filter Signal From Noise - 0 views

  • one of the functions that networks such as Twitter does is to serve as something of a human powered feed, a real time living stream of links, content and conversation often times generated by our friends, peers or the people we look to as "filters"—indivisuals who we trust to seperate the wheat from chaff.
  • the internet is still about information—but it's also about attention
  • We have a deficit in attention.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • We all suffer from technology induced attention deficit disorder,
  • Bookmarks don't help—now we need tools like del.icio.us.  And of course we need Google more than ever. And there's once more thing we need. We need each other to make sense of it all. We need a Web with a human touch to help guide us through the fragmented, landscape of the internet. And that's where the human feed comes in.
  • power in the human feed
  • Often times the quality of links and information I get on Twitter is better than what I would have gotten from Google because the knowledge of the human feed is deep, niche, and fickle.
  • It's not always about size—it's also about quality

Gladwell Still Missing the Point About Social Media and Activism: Tech News a... - 2 views

  •  
    After weeks of discussion in the blogosphere over whether what happened in Tunisia was a "Twitter revolution," and whether social media also helped trigger the current anti-government uprising in Egypt, author Malcolm Gladwell says "Surely the least interesting fact about them is that some of the protesters may (or may not) have at one point or another employed some of the tools of the new media to communicate with one another. Please. People protested and brought down governments before Facebook was invented. They did it before the Internet came along."
