Five Ways to Mark Up the Web on 2007-04-12
- Diigo will also let you save to multiple other bookmarking services (all the big ones) and email your annotated pages to friends who don’t have the plugin

    del.icio.us integration? Sounds great. Let's try it!

    This extension looks blah blah. Which is to say, I'm testing Diigo

Public Services 2.0 :: Charles Leadbeater on 2007-03-12
- A public sector that does not utilise the power of user generated content will not just look old, outdated and tired. It will also be far less productive and effective in creating public goods.
- We need a new way to create public goods that take their lead from the culture of self-organisation and participation emerging from the Web that forms a central part of modern culture, especially for young consumers and future citizens

- - Imagine the eBay rating system applied to public service provision, or a service like TripAdvisor, the travel site where people rate and comment on hotels they have stayed in. Public services users need similar sites and services
  - people are given support
  - the user generated state will only be possible, as In Control shows, if participative public services are well designed to make sure
  - A computer game with 1m players only needs 1% of them to be player-developers, adding back content to the game
  - turning people into participants in the process
  - Most of these emerging business models enlist users as participants and producers at least some of the time: they move from consuming content, watching and listening, to sharing, rating, ranking, amending, adding
  - For the past decade most of the debate about public service reform has focussed on delivery, making the public sector value chain work more efficiently, to resemble reliable private service delivery. But you cannot deliver complex public goods the way that Fed Ex delivers a parcel. They need to be co-created.
  - What would the public sector be like if it too mobilised mass user generated content for care, health, safety and education?
  - Co-created solutions emerge from interaction and conversation not from a professional delivering a solution to a passive and dependent patient.
apophenia: some thoughts on 2007 (advertising, bullying, and mobile) on 2007-01-05
- I'm very worried about how, unregulated, spamming and over-advertising will kill even the coolest social hangouts
- The perceived presence of people who hold power over teens (parents, teachers, etc.) and those who want to prey on them (marketers, pedophiles, etc.) has done unbelievable damage in general teen perception.
- 6 more annotations...
- - MySpace has turned into a massive zit full of marketing puss. Most teens don't mind advertising but when things look more like spam than advertising, you're in deep shit. Every PR organization and marketing arm is leeching onto MySpace like a blood thirsty vampire. Problem is that vampires kill their prey
  - The level of emotional enthusiasm i hear has dramatically faded over the last six months
  - Users aren't going to tire of their friends but they will tire of problematic social spaces that make hanging out with friends difficult.
  - i think there are going to be some blood baths next year and i'm not looking forward to them
  - I love the idea of "social network fatigue."
  - "social network fatigue."
Q&A: Jobs on iPod’s Cultural Impact - Newsweek Technology - MSNBC.com on 2006-10-15
- Microsoft has announced its new iPod competitor, Zune. It says that this device is all about building communities. Are you worried?
  In a word, no. I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you're connected with about two feet of headphone cable.

    this looks like it should be a clause, indicating they are arriving at 7pm - unless it's not, in which case perhaps it's the premiere starting at 7pm - who knows?
  - were "normal mates"
    Rob on 2006-09-21

  - in Bangkok - Pancho is given liposuction without anaesthetics - only beer.

    the odd clause break means the sentence loses sense

    house style is to use double quotemarks for quotes

    Rob on 2006-09-21
    
    the clause is broken in the wrong place - and why does it employ hyphens, not commas?

    Rob on 2006-09-21
    
    why hyphens, not commas, for this clause?
