Dan Gillmor had a recent article on this and about how we could maybe begin to create an aggregate model by pulling in your eBay rating and maybe your ratings from other social network sites that you may be involved in. Got me thinking about how we could think about creating this kind of currency within organizations to help spur the use of social media...could we create a universal standard for this as a currency and those standards could just be applied to groups at an organization's discretion...and the REALLY important question...what could you spend your whuffie on?

但，无论如何，昨天我是又认真读了，打印出来并做了一些标记，最后把他所说的一些阴阳事例做了一个总结。这个过程也有了一点延续，首先是教育中的，2018年教育宣言目前该是阴弱的部分；而早晨发现又可加的项目：***和***员，其实之前在twitter也提到过***2.0和在回答eltondisney 的提问中有更多的说明这些内容也曾在单位和负责党建的新人谈到过。但目前来看，仅仅是新奇而无力的一个想法。

And it was really fun and tough to try to boil down what I think and believe about school reform to a five minute speech to non-educators. And it's a good thing I talk fast. Enjoy.

When America was rocking to the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, the airwaves in China were dominated by songs with lyrics from Chairman Mao's Little Red Book.
It's more open today, but the Communist government still bans anything that mentions sex or violence, or that has "low class humor" — which bans an awful lot of American music.

But Chinese musicians and fans are finding a whole new universe of sound on the Internet. And it's helping to create and nourish a new generation of independent artists in China.

One of them is B6, a 27-year-old electronic musician. He lives and works on the first floor of a high-rise on the outskirts of Shanghai. He's part of China's burgeoning electronic-music scene.
Growing up, the CDs B6 listened to were mostly sold on the black market.
"When I was in high school, I used to listen to rock 'n' roll music," he says. "At that time, it was very difficult to get foreign or Western music."
