These changes are facilitated (although, importantly, not solely driven) by the emergence of new, participatory technologies of information access, knowledge exchange, and content production, many of whom are associated with Internet and new media technologies.

J.C. Herz has described the same process as ‘harnessing the hive’ (2005) – that is, the harnessing of promising and useful ideas, generated by expert consumers, by commercial producers (and sometimes under ethically dubious models which appear to exploit and thus hijack the hive as a cheap generator of ideas, rather than merely harnessing it in a benign fashion).

Great article from the Globe and Mail ( whoa!!) About the semantic web and some applications that are coming soon. Set up the BlueOrganizer addon for Firefox that has semantic web qualities, Hightlight a word and it will initiate a smart serach that you can organize with the app.
Notes
Definition of noosphere and connection to De Chardin. Implication that the WWW is a manifestation of some kind of spiritual connection between humans on the level of pure thought.
Locke and Land Title
The `noosphere' of this essay's title is the territory of ideas, the space of all possible thoughts [N]. What we see implied in hacker ownership customs is a Lockean theory of property rights in one subset of the noosphere, the space of all programs. Hence `homesteading the noosphere', which is what every founder of a new open-source project does.
Far� Rideau <fare@tunes.org> correctly points out that hackers do not exactly operate in the territory of pure ideas. He asserts that what hackers own is programming projects—intensional focus points of material labor (development, service, etc), to which are associated things like reputation, trustworthiness, etc. He therefore asserts that the space spanned by hacker projects, is not the noosphere but a sort of dual of it, the space of noosphere-exploring program projects. (With an apologetic nod to the astrophysicists out there, it would be etymologically correct to call this dual space the `ergosphere' or `sphere of work'.)
In practice, the distinction between noosphere and ergosphere is not important for the purposes of our present argument. It is dubious whether the `noosphere' in the pure sense on which Far� insists can be said to exist in any meaningful way; one would almost have to be a Platonic philosopher to believe in it. And the distinction between noosphere and ergosphere is only of practical importance if one wishes to assert that ideas (the elements of the noosphere) cannot be owned, but their instantiations as projects can. This question leads to issues in the theory of intellectual property which are beyond the scope of this essay (but see [DF]).
To avoid confusion, however, it is important to note that neither the noosphere nor the ergosphere is the same as the totality of virtual locations in electronic media that is sometimes (to the disgust of most hackers) called `cyberspace'. Property there is regulated by completely different rules that are closer to those of the material substratum—essentially, he who owns the media and machines on which a pa

Did
you ever see that episode of Gilligan's Island where they almost get
off the island and then Gilligan messes up and then they don't? I
saw that one. I saw that one a lot when I was growing up. And every
half-hour that I watched that was a half an hour I wasn't posting at
my blog or editing Wikipedia or contributing to a mailing list. Now I
had an ironclad excuse for not doing those things, which is
none of those things existed then. I was forced into the channel
of media the way it was because it was the only option. Now it's
not, and that's the big surprise. However lousy it is to sit in your
basement and pretend to be an elf, I can tell you from personal
experience it's worse to sit in your basement and try to figure if

Here's something four-year-olds know: A screen that ships without a mouse ships
broken. Here's something four-year-olds know: Media that's targeted at you but doesn't include you may not
be worth sitting still for. Those are things that make me believe that this is a one-way change. Because four year olds, the
people who are soaking most deeply in the current environment, who won't have to go through the trauma that I have to go
through of trying to unlearn a childhood spent watching Gilligan's
Island, they just assume that media
includes consuming, producing and sharing.

Good reflection on Clay Shirkey. Not sure if the thesis in the title is presented or supported. Too bad, it is a great title and I'd be interested in seeing the idea developed.

digital digs: Building Scholarly Networks
See Skirky Coasean floor- the cost of dissemintation of academic research has dropped to near zero. When institutions insist on exhorbitant journal access fees they doom themselves to irrelevance. Attention economy needs eyeballs and the eyeballs glaze over at the idea of paying $180.00 for a PDF report on online education in Canada, a publicly funded research project.(295 for the hard copy)

We might like to think that information-sharing is intrinsic to academic work, especially academic work that is publicly funded. However we also place many restrictions on publishing, like peer review, and I imagine there are still academics who try to keep their work secret until it is ready for any number of semi-paranoid reasons. I'm not going to say we shouldn't do these things, but we need to recognize that the discipline works by controlling the production and distribution of disciplinary knowledge.
