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.

Social Media Research Blog: Some things are just Semi-Social - 0 views

  • Social Media is a lot about sharing.
  • As we start to experiment with social software we realize that sharing is good and soon become open to sharing a lot more. There are some things though, that just seem semi-social. What I mean by Semi-Social is roughly "Thing I would not mind sharing with a small group of trusted friends and family members".

"社会化网络"到底有没有"商务"? | "别来无恙"团队博客 - 0 views

  • 纵观互联网的所有商业形式,都源于三种简单明了的商业属性,那就是媒体属性、市场属性和工具属性。
  • 媒体属性指向网络广告业务,或者说网络营销,典型代表是门户网站、Google、Youtube;市场属性指向电子商务,典型代表是Amazon、eBay、阿里巴巴,也包括虚拟物品销售;工具属性指向付费服务,典型代表是Flickr,包括各种SAAS产品。换句话说,所有能让你靠互联网赚钱的买卖,只有这三种。
  • 所谓的“社会化网络”更趋向于互联网的媒体属性,本质上说它依然是一个传播渠道,不同的是传播的载体是人而不再仅仅是信息。基于 这样的特征,“社会化网络”的“商务”价值也应该主要集中在网络营销业务上。如果真要考虑“社会化网络+电子商务”的模式,也需要(事实上也不得不)将二 者区别开来,不能过于交织甚至混为一谈。

  • 传统的“社区”早就具备网络营销的基本条件,猫扑和天涯都 是上一个时代不错的例子。那么更加新潮的SNS怎么会不行呢?当然行,问题还是在人,或者说在于资源。网络营销对于大多数年轻的团队来说,都是一件很头疼 的事情。把一个社区运营好,靠的是线上的组织策划能力。而要把网络营销业务做得有声有色,那却要靠现实资源的整合。
