SocialMedia to unveil 'friendship ranks' | Tech news blog - CNET News.com - 0 views

  • Goldstein is expected to announce "social banners," or display ads that turn you or your friends into the hook of a marketing message. In tandem, SocialMedia will announce that it's developed a patent-pending algorithm called FriendRank to power those social banners. It's like Google's PageRank, but instead of ranking pages for their popularity, it ranks friendships.

Google Makes us Stupid « Synthèse - 0 views

  • One reason that is often given for building recommenders, particularly in the context of a digital library, is that it is supposed to help address the information overload problem. However, one can easily argue that the converse is true.
  • Thus, a recommender actually adds to the information overload problem and thus exacerbates the attention deficit problem that Carr complains about in his article.
  • perhaps we should focus on what’s in front of us instead of fretting about whether we’ve reached 100% recall.

个人博客的生与死 - 为何而死 - 0 views

  • 为什么这么多人不相信个人媒体,而要相信大众媒体?另外一个重要的原因就是对个体的潜意识排斥:个人怎么能成为媒体呢?个人成为媒体了,是不是有什么“特殊用心”呢?是不是为了欺骗我呢?这一系列问题的提出,其实是有原因的。这要追溯到90年代的疯狂传销所埋下的祸根。
  • 大多数人,仍然坚持相信机构媒体、机构内容。这些人,没有自己的观点,也不愿意相信其他个体的观点。只要他们不被机构媒体害得没饭吃,他们就不会有什么抱怨。

Key difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 - 0 views

  •  
    Web 2.0 is a buzzword introduced in 2003-04 which is commonly used to encompass various novel phenomena on the World Wide Web. Although largely a marketing term, some of the key attributes associated with Web 2.0 include the growth of social networks, bi-directional communication, various 'glue' technologies, and significant diversity in content types. We are not aware of a technical comparison between Web 1.0 and 2.0. While most of Web 2.0 runs on the same substrate as 1.0, there are some key differences. We capture those differences and their implications for technical work in this paper. Our goal is to identify the primary differences leading to the properties of interest in 2.0 to be characterized. We identify novel challenges due to the different structures of Web 2.0 sites, richer methods of user interaction, new technologies, and fundamentally different philosophy. Although a significant amount of past work can be reapplied, some critical thinking is needed for the networking community to analyze the challenges of this new and rapidly evolving environment.
