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: "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."

Doors of Perception weblog: 'Reversing the reversal' with john chris jones:
‘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’

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

Each card describes a specific technique and general instructions, with a design exercise and workspace on the back. The cards can be used individually or in sequence and can be learned quickly and adopted by diverse design teams."

i am certainly going to follow the example of /cshirky and the other /bhyde - and start using del.icio.us - as linking (with a brief comment) is all i use this blog for anyway - looks brilliant - you can see who else has linked to what you have adn much much more... for ben's comments see: enthusiasm

ACM: Ubiquity - A Conversation with Andrew Hargadon
"The more we move into a digital world and the more easily our work becomes digitized and traceable, the more easily the origins on our influence become traceable. The Beatles borrowed from Elvis and everybody else. When they borrowed, it was OK because they were playing in clubs in Germany and nobody could track their music. When a hip-hop artist samples music off of CDs and puts together a song on his Apple, it becomes possible to say, 'Wait a minute, you stole that melody from here and you stole this part from there.' The creative process is the same, but now with technologically we can tease out the influences and say, 'This riff is owned by somebody else.' All of a sudden, on an erroneous assumption, the law is meddling in the creative process."

2004: The Turning Point ~Stephen Downes "...clicking on an evaluation as you read, adding a comment or annotation if you felt like it, capturing and collecting your own personal library as you went along? Not a blog, because a blog is about writing, but a way of communicating what you think is important."

I think this sums up nicely what i would like to see available - the only thing missing is the need for some agregatory tool - so others can see what you thought, liked, visited, and vice versa (when you want them to, that is ;)

There are also predictions about:
Personalization finally working
Learning objects ariving at last
New hype: simulations
Attacks on Open Content
and
IP Communications, finally

well worth a read

IHT: Shooting down pop-up ads on the Internet IHT has a pretty slick interface (but interestingly uses pop-up adds themselves :)

It seems there may be a move away from such intrusive styles of advertising towards more explicit traditional approaches
