maybe i'm feeling cynical but some of the sentiments seem a little scathing and patronising... but potentially interesting (how open tho'?)

Most people think of Amazon as little more than an online bookstore, but it could be one of the defining forces of 21st–century life—an algorithmically managed infrastructure company that has single–handedly rewritten the publishing industry's rulebook. A design report from Seattle by James Bridle

gapingvoid gallery: Our potential speaks through the Internet--sharing our products, designs, art, technology and achievements, but look at how we're talking to one another now. The global village has become a reality. Cultural barriers are fading. Phsyical distances are evaporating. Languages can be translated with two clicks of the mouse.

Doc Searls Weblog � World wide puddle
some great quotes and interesting pointers from >>
Doc Searls Weblog � World wide puddle: "I don’t have a conclusion here, other than to say that maybe Nick and both Alices are right, and the Net is not so ideal as some of us (me especially) tend to think it is. But I also think the Net is something we make, and not just something that makes us." [my emphasis]

"The historic knowledge–management role of the diplomat highlights the part technology has played in the world of diplomacy, including the relationship between the ambassador abroad and the political centre. It also offers a further perspective on the ways in which technologies open up new possibilities, intended and unintended, often fraught with ambiguity and potential for enhancement and disruption. In turn this offers lessons for further consideration of what can be termed the Dark Side of Knowledge Management, and for organizational communication in general."

‘To begin with what can be imagined
To use both intuition and reason
To work it out in context
To model the contextual effects of what is imagined
To change the process to suit what is happening
To refuse what diminishes
To seek inspiration in what is
To choose what depends on everyone’

this is how hydesign used to be connected as displayed via touch-graph (which still exists but now looking very commercial)

starting with a few links to some old connections:
Sociable Media Group judith still doing interesting work
Interconnected matt's not blogging much nowadays - though does at BERG
Bonnie Nardi (always inspiring)
GUUUI (nothing new but still worth a look for old links)
Human Computation - Google Video
what a great talk
by Luis von Ahn, who is an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University
- immediately made my think of the Man-Computer Symbiosis paper by J.C.R. Licklider, or Lick - ... took me so long to find (my old link to) that
- shows just how far away i am...

it's also funny
should also link Matt's work golcl which is very much up to scratch ;(wierd title though, Pulse Laser

didn't think this was my MakingMeaning listmania page - but it made me take a closer look . at . --> Making Meaning | Introduction a new book by Steve Diller, Nathan Shedroff, and Darrel Rhea which seems kinda interesting - couldn't not add it to the list either way :)
faking or simply misleading
whilst visiting guuui - as i have just received the new newsletter - and wandering around the old links - i noticed that even though i had left the site and was now at InfoDesign the url still read guuui.com - now this not only makes it difficult to bookmark or blog a particular page on guuui but also on any site you may venture to from there on....
For a site devoted to usability etc. this seems just a little lackadaisical
