Technology Review: Social Networking Hits the Genome

Tue, 13 May 2008 15:22:54 -0000

Freaky. Reminds me of the sci fi of the 90's.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

allows people to compare their genome with those of family members, friends, and even strangers who have offered up their DNA data

most of the controversy centered on the medical applications. Customers can learn their genetic risk, compared with the general population, of myriad diseases, including Alzheimer's, diabetes, macular degeneration, and cancer. But many scientists and physicians say that it's unclear whether the average user can truly comprehend this information, and whether knowing her genetic risk will actually improve her health

people can find each other by their alleles

encourage consumers to get DNA testing, potentially creating a novel research resource in the process

a new social-networking service that allows customers to compare their DNA.

Consumer Reports WebWatch: The leader in investigative reporting on credibility and trust online

Mon, 12 May 2008 00:53:38 -0000

Here's the report itself.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

WebWatch Releases Landmark Study on Childrens' Web Sites
Publishers of many major children’s Web sites should do a better job disclosing sales and advertising information to parents, especially as more kids at younger ages go online to play and meet friends, says a study released today by Consumer Reports WebWatch and the Mediatech Foundation. For the study, parents in 10 families used video cameras to keep journals, providing insights into the way children use sites such as Club Penguin, Webkinz, Nick Jr., Barbie.com and others. Footage from those journals, which can be viewed here, illustrates how young children respond to advertising and marketing tactics online. The study, "Like Taking Candy from a Baby: How Young Children Interact with Online Environments," used ethnographic methods and focused on young children, ages 2½ to 8. Download a PDF of the study.

When Young Teachers Go Wild on the Web - washingtonpost.com

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:24:48 -0000

Why students need us--before they grow up!

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Just to be clear, these are not teenagers, the typical Internet scofflaws and sources of ceaseless discussion about cyber-bullying, sexual predators and so on. These are adults, many in their 20s, who are behaving, for the most part, like young adults.

And then watch the public profiles of 20-something teachers unfurl like gift wrap on the screen, revealing a sense of humor that can be overtly sarcastic or unintentionally unprofessional -- or both.

Tryangulation: My part of the world is not flat

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:24:41 -0000

An American blogging about his job teaching in Turkey. There's a section I highlighted about a Turkish "Idol" type issue and the resulting MySpace mess.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

The YouTube Wars

Prof. Akalın was probably pleased last week when, for a few days at least, we lost our access to that Eurovision winning song. In response to a satirical video that was offensive to the memory of Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, a Turkish court shut down any access to YouTube.com. The offending video was uploaded supposedly by Greeks wanting to antagonize their neighbors, and it prompted a war of offensive and counter offensive videos and endless (and pointless) comments. It is against the law here to insult Atatürk, but since the offenders were "out there" somewhere beyond prosecution on the Internet, punishment was levied on Turkish Internet users instead.

The story is even sadder as I remember attending a conference in Athens last fall with several Turkish colleagues, and we were pleasantly surprised at the warmth of so many Greeks, including several who spoke with us in Turkish.

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:48:29 -0000

Interesting--technology can help us figure out who the bad guys are! The power of social networking.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Most notably, perhaps, is the emergence of dozens of "green" Web sites, many from tech industry veterans, that aim to put like-minded people on the same page. These social-networking efforts enable users to assess products personally, offering a balance to green labels and ad campaigns.
