More vo­cal and alone. Sext me?

 - 

Last month I fin­ished au­thor­ing a chap­ter sub­mis­sion on how so­cial ar­ti­facts me­di­ate the del­uge of con­tent a so­cial net­work con­sumes and how di­ver­sity of par­tic­i­pa­tion is an im­per­a­tive to keep us from French in­hal­ing our tweets. We are liv­ing in a time of cont... More »

What are we say­ing?

 - 

It is en­cour­ag­ing that peo­ple find an­a­lyz­ing data so com­pelling. Vi­su­al­iza­tions like the ones you can find at Digg labs can whet the ap­petite of al­most any­one. En­vi­ron­ments such as Many Eyes al­low users to en­gage more di­rectly in the di­a­logue of in­for­ma­tion ex... More »

The suc­cess of par­tic­i­pa­tion

 - 

One of the mag­i­cal things about grass­roots com­put­ing – grass­roots any­thing prob­a­bly – is that any suc­cess is de­cided by the par­tic­i­pants. This ba­sic rule is what en­sures sup­port but per­plexes com­pa­nies who want to make money from the pro­duc­tive ap­pli­ca­tion... More »

Get­ting the brain to swell

 - 

Clip­pinger turns to Robin Dun­bar and col­leagues to show that there is a cor­re­la­tion of neo­cor­tex de­vel­op­ment (think­ing and prob­lem solv­ing) and mem­ber­ship size in so­cial groups. …the evo­lu­tion­ary suc­cess of Homo sapi­ens can in large mea­sure be at­trib­uted to it... More »

Photo al­bums are all but dead

 - 

Photo al­bums used to be the fam­ily bible, vi­su­ally record­ing the event of peo­ple, places and events. It re­quired the acts of pho­tog­ra­pher, ed­i­tor and al­bum con­struc­tor. It was a la­bor of rem­i­nis­cence and duty. As the holder of the pho­tos and the neg­a­tives, onl... More »

In­vi­ta­tion is in the ac­tion

 - 

Face­Book pre­sents in­ter­est­ing fod­der around a va­ri­ety of top­ics in­clud­ing per­sonal pri­vacy, af­fil­i­a­tion and com­mu­nity build­ing. In some cases, those top­ics cre­ate in­ter­est­ing ten­sion with each other. For ex­am­ple, in cre­at­ing your pro­file you might add all of y... More »

Simp­sonized

 - 

Yes­ter­day morn­ing while catch­ing up on some email a Pho­to­jojo email from July 20 fea­tured The Simp­sonizer. My re­sults were pretty good. In­ter­est­ingly enough, I find this two di­men­sional avatar more ac­ces­si­ble than my Sec­ond Life me, Vi­enna Lam­our­fou. Maybe tha... More »

Re­la­tion­ships with mu­sic

 - 

The hu­man re­la­tion­ship with mu­sic is an in­ter­est­ing one. For all of its mean­ing in my life, it is not some­thing I con­sider a pas­sion. I have al­ways ad­mired friends who are mu­si­cians or loved and im­mersed them­selves in mu­sic. One of the pro­jects my team has wor... More »

Tag clouds of to­day are so yestur­day

 - 

Any­one liv­ing a Web 2.0 lifestyle – us­ing ap­pli­ca­tions like Flickr or Tech­no­rati – is sure to have seen a tag cloud. Typ­i­cally tag clouds de­pict the fre­quency a tag has been used within a sys­tem. The larger the word, the more times that tag has been used. ... More »
