Google Wave Drips With Ambition. A New Communication Platform For A New Web. on 2009-05-30
- Clicking on any of the wave threads will open another pane to the right of the inbox that shows that wave in its entirety. Let’s say one wave is a message from a friend and you want to reply to it. If they’re not currently online, you can do it below their message just as you may in Gmail. Except there’s no bulky new message creator to pop open, you simply start typing below your friend’s message. But perhaps you want to respond to a particular part of their message — well you can do that too simply by starting to type below the part you’re replying to
My Friend Flickr: A Great Photo Opportunity | Edutopia on 2009-05-29
- "It's open to anybody, and, because of that, you've got to assume people will put stuff there that will be offensive." Tubbs, like many teachers, uses Flickr avidly, but he shies away from bringing it into the classroom. Rather than let students search for photos, he finds them on his own time and brings them into class as writing prompts or for blog entries

Flickr's groups are small pools of users who pull photos from across the site and organize them into categories accessible by group members. An association of third-grade teachers, for example, might form a group for photos relating to appropriate curricula
  - Given that Flickr is very much a global community, there's an opportunity to search and engage with content that's created all over the world,

  a successful community: identity persistence, a sophisticated set of rituals, an internal

    Ostrom also found that in successful communities most of the individuals affected by these
    rules were able to participate in modifying them. Further, the rights of community members
    to devise their own rules was respected to some degree by external authorities. These
    features meant that those individuals most affected by community rules, and who possessed
    the local knowledge necessary to craft effective rules, were able to create and modify a
    set of rules that were well-matched to their goals and environment.

Understanding the New Web Era: Web 3.0, Linked Data, Semantic Web on 2009-05-27
- There is a lot of debate about what Web 3.0 is and the term itself is open to derision. In my view Web 3.0 is an unoriginal name for the next evolution of the Web. What's important to note though, is that there is a difference in the products we're seeing in 2009 compared to the ones we saw at the height of 'Web 2.0' (2005-08). If Web 2.0 was about user generated content and social applications such as YouTube and Wikipedia, then Web 3.0 is about open and more structured data - which essentially makes the Web more 'intelligent'.
