Using Open Source Social Software as Digital Library Interface

  • Each photograph is described with QDC elements and has faceted analysis completed on the elements and context of the photograph. On average, each photograph has 11 faceted descriptors. The faceted taxonomy is developed from the 'bottom-up' using the photographs and archival information and is managed using Protégé,5 an open source ontology management system developed by Stanford University.

Microblogging has become too important for Twitter to rule the field. - By Farhad Manjoo - Slate Magazine

  • Several different groups are working on technologies that complement Winer's vision. (Here's a good Wired article that describes several of them.) In an insightful blog post, Anil Dash recently described these technologies as creating what he calls the "Pushbutton Web." The Web today is a "pull" medium—you (or your RSS reader) have to keep checking a site to see if it has published new content. That process is inefficient; it's like looking out the window every five seconds to see if the paperboy has dropped off tomorrow's issue. Pushbutton technologies—including PubSubHubbub (seriously, that's its real name), an open protocol developed by programmers at Google—let sites notify you whenever they've been updated. This is like the paperboy ringing the doorbell when he's left a new issue. Google recently built PubSubHubbub into Google Reader, so now when you click "Share" on a blog post that you like, Reader instantly notifies the other sites you're connected to. You can share a post from Reader, and it'll show up on your Friendfeed—and maybe on Facebook and Twitter—immediately.

  • ability to read and absorb a longish article on the web or in print,” he wrote earlier this year. A pathologist who has long been on the faculty of the University of Michigan Medical School, Friedman elaborated on his comment in a telephone conversation with me. His thinking, he said, has taken on a “staccato” quality, reflecting the way he quickly scans short passages of text from many sources online. “I can’t read War and Peace  anymore,” he admitted. “I’ve lost the ability to do that. Even a blog post of more than three or four paragraphs is too much to absorb. I skim it.”

  • I didn’t actually accomplish life changing goals either, but what I did was finished doing something. I haven’t felt that sense of completion in a long time. Some were chores, but others we’re just entertaining activities like watching TV, reading books and magazines, and playing Brain Age. (My youngest score is 23 years old.) The difference, in contrast to the web, was that I accomplished the purpose.
