Our need for real-time information consumption is pointless « Alexander van Elsas's Weblog on new media & technologies and their effect on social behavior - 0 views

  • We write blogs, create news, produce content, act as journalists, and there are plenty of platforms that allow us to spread our message
  • We are eager to share personal information, wishes, needs, thoughts, ideas, emotions, friends, locations. To find information we use Google, news sites, rss feeds, aggregators, aggregators that aggregate aggregators, news feeds, tweets, social networks.
  • There are no short cuts to knowledge, no matter how much processing power and storage capacity we throw at it.

  • As transaction costs to produce, distribute and consume information drop to zero the question arises if the information value itself drops to zero too?
  • If I ask you to remember the last conversation you had that made you laugh or cry, chances are pretty high that this conversation was a real-life one, not an online one.
  • It is for that reason I tend to be rather skeptical of our current online efforts to get information to us via search, sites, aggregators, rss, social networks, soon all in in real-time.

On diminishing network effects in web 2.0, social media and human limitations « Alexander van Elsas's Weblog on new media & technologies and their effect on social behavior - 0 views

  • Technology allows us to be “always on”. To be part of a never ending conversation. Simply plug in, anywhere, and you can join in. Friends are spread out across every timezone, so there always are people available to interact with.
  • Any respectable  web 2.0 service is based upon the premise that we all want to share anything with the rest of the world.
  • I can’t predict the future, but I find it useful to think in extremes and see if it can help me get a better understanding of the present.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • We end up listening and engaging with a much smaller fraction of the group of followers.
  • We end up spending our online time more consciously.
  • I believe that there is a limit to the quality effects of the network.
  • Our human limitations force us to focus on value, on those things that really matter.

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.

Using Aardvark - Duke Listens! - 0 views

  • For one thing, we are using content analysis, classification and autotagging to help identify relevant content. We use incoming links and attention to determine how much authority a particular entry has on a topic.

Paul Buchheit: The power of links and the value of global knowledge - 0 views

  • With Pagerank, Google took a very different approach. Instead of considering each page in isolation, they examined the link structure of the entire web and computed a global evaluation of that structure. In other words, they began looking at the entire forest instead of just the individual trees.

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。
