State of Innovation Summit : Common Knowledge
Infrastructure for data integration, data federation, and so forth should be encoded directly into the open standards of the web and internet. Full stop. And we should talk about this problem more often. Otherwise people look at their iPhones, check for a
The Proxy Fight for Iranian Democracy - Renesys Blog
I'd like to be able to say that these maps are a measure of the strength of the democratic impulse and volunteer spirit in all the countries of the world. But that might be a stretch. You see, looked at another way, an open proxy is a security hole, somet
A Literary Legend Fights for a Ventura County Library - NYTimes.com
I don’t believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries...[the Internet] is meaningless
How the Web Ate the Economy and Why it’s Great for Everyone
how did management and business become generic? (See "The Financial Melt Up") Myth: corporations promote free market competition Myth: our currency was created to promote transactions between people create currencies that are earned instead of l

A variety of greasemonkey scripts resolve shortened URLs and replace them inline.
O'Reilly: The Web is still learning, but it can teach, too | Webware - CNET
"The baby that we built with technology is growing up and starting to go to work," he said, mentioning examples like energy metering aggregator AMEE, the Google search application that predicted where the flu would hit next, and iPhone apps that

The most important part, he concluded, is that it's crucial to keep up that Silicon Valley attitude of positive change for the greater good as it brings its business principles to the rest of the world. Getting too self-serving was what ultimately caused the market collapse this fall, he said.
What Colleges Should Learn From Newspapers' Decline - Chronicle.com
yes!

As of today, there's no Craigslist busily destroying the financial foundations of the modern university. Teaching is a lot more complicated than advertising, and universities have the advantage of sitting behind government-backed barriers to competition, in the form of accreditation. Anyone can use the Internet to sell classified ads or publish opinion columns or analyze the local news. Not anyone can sell credit-bearing courses or widely recognized degrees.
-
the public university still looks like something of a middleman here — and in the long run, the Internet doesn't treat middlemen kindly. To survive and prosper, universities need to integrate technology and teaching in a way that improves the learning experience while simultaneously passing the savings on to students in the form of lower prices.
IBM's WSJ Op-ed: Exactly Right (Lessig Blog)
The point could be made more strongly: If we're lucky, we get the chance for this kind of transformation once a generation. It would be a scandal on the scale of the last 8 years to fritter it away.
OnTheCommons.org » Online Collaboration Goes Legit
-
Besides dictating organizational forms, current law privileges the interests of investors and boards of directors, and has no recognition for co-creators who wish to collaborate to create shared value in virtual spaces, and who wish to make decisions as a group.
-
My friend John Clippinger of the Berkman Center has described the virtual corporations law as the first step toward imagining a new type of “cloud law.” He is referring to “cloud computing,” the next generation of computing that will locate software systems in the “cloud” – remote server-farms that are accessible from anywhere, through one’s iPhone, laptop or other portable device. Cloud computing will be sold as a utility – like electricity or phone service – and will enable even more powerful modes of Web 2.0 collaboration. For economic reasons, tech experts regard the Cloud as the virtually inevitable next stage of computing.

Looking at patterns of interest across venues, said Kearns, would allow online advocates to map the emergent "folksonomy" appropriate to each.
The future of the mobile internet: An interview with Arthur Goldstuck
-
most cellphones in the future will be capable of using WiFi or similar to access the data stream, which means that they can use Voice over IP and IM to bypass the networks’ main revenue sources. Business models will have to change radically to leverage the data stream and drive volume of usage of data to make up for declining revenues from traditional calls. But to do this, the price of data must keep coming down, rather than going up, and that mans margins will be under constant pressure. It is clear that the network of tomorrow will not look the same as the one of today.

Are the handset makers and the cellphone networks the media companies of the future?
No, they are the media platform providers and enablers. The media companies of the future are the content creators of today, including record companies, book publishers and lonely bloggers.

Technology Review: The Coming Wireless Revolution
-
For years, researchers have been toying with radios that are smart enough to hop from one frequency to another, leaving occupied channels undisturbed--an approach known as cognitive radio. But until the FCC made its announcement, cognitive-radio research was a purely academic pursuit. "You could do all the research you wanted on it," Sahai says, "but it was still illegal."
Using the Internet's History to Develop Clean Energy's Future: Scientific American
-
We learned too slowly that cheap and clean communications would be distributed. Personal computers and mobile phones surprised us. What do we think energy’s “laws” will be? Will cheap and clean energy come from centralized power stations? Internet history makes me think not.
-
Internet history shows that prosperity depends on abundant bandwidth. Prosperity (gross domestic product, per capita) is proportional to energy use. We are not going to lower per capita consumption of energy in the U.S. We are going to enable the rest of the world to be as prosperous by using not less but more energy. We need to make energy cheap, clean and therefore abundant—really abundant, for a really long time.

Giant Global Graph | Decentralized Information Group (DIG) Breadcrumbs
So the Net and the Web may both be shaped as something mathematicians call a Graph, but they are at different levels. The Net links computers, the Web links documents. Now, people are making another mental move. There is realization now, "It's not th

There are cries from the heart (e.g The Open Social Web Bill of Rights) for my friendship, that relationship to another person, to transcend documents and sites. There is a "Social Network Portability" community. Its not the Social Network Sites that are interesting -- it is the Social Network itself. The Social Graph. The way I am connected, not the way my Web pages are connected.
-
if only we could express these relationships, such as my social graph, in a way that is above the level of documents, then we would get re-use. That's just what the graph does for us. We have the technology -- it is Semantic Web technology, starting with RDF OWL and SPARQL. Not magic bullets, but the tools which allow us to break free of the document layer. If a social network site uses a common format for expressing that I know Dan Brickley, then any other site or program (when access is allowed) can use that information to give me a better service.
Lost in the blogosphere - The Boston Globe
as exciting as the blogosphere is as a supplement...it is too fluid in its nature ever to focus our widely diverging cultural energies. A hopscotch through the referential enormity of argument and opinion cannot settle the ground under our feet.
Aristotle’s Email – Or, Friendship In The Cyber Age
email has made it possible for friendships of all three categories to thrive and prosper in ways Aristotle could never have anticipated. Of course nothing beats personal proximity, but in our highly mobile society this is often not feasible.
