When you want to make a private picture or note available only to your friends, why do you hand it over to a multi-national corporation first? What use is a mobile phone running Apache? Does IPv6 really exist? Can we be ecologically-sound and still run our terabyte home servers? Please?
- Danny O’Brien in Living on the Edge (of Network)

encrypt your gmail but the price is speed

security is a policy not a system, so make people more security aware, don’t build ’secure’ systems. in other words, you can’t solve a social problem with technology
-
excellent arrticle about Russia and Putin. West is blind. Again.
-
crunch time? let’s see how much of it will be justified by the ‘economic downturn’. anything but the need to change business models..

cory doctorow’s review of book by zittrain. generative technology is a good concept, pretty much what I groped at with my term ‘user-driven’

very good summary of the issues and strategic advice to those who are interested in survival of journalism…
-
astonished anyone would try this still.. hope they get burt as they deserve
-
useful

strange how people argue for narrowing of knowledge in a place that is heaving with information, data and others’ knowledge. trick is finding it and that’s where old mental models are in the way, not the new environment!
-
indeed. scoble finds his roots. does it mean back to ‘user-driven’ in business and to geek discoveries and play in private?
-
no surprises there
-
yep. you end up with social media for cat litter!
-
well, it was obvious that the real data portability issue is now up for grabs… i believe it still is.
-
point 1 is the direction the Mine! is going.

how to get smart network (mobile) understand benefits of stupid network (internet). the clash is obvious but iphone first mobile done by ‘web people’. potential enormous but not from mobile network operators. tiger doesn’t change his stripes.
-
still more about marketers, advertisers and publishers than about those who are now driving the media. fail.
-
Such BS… and a band-aid on gaping wound of business structures. one that doesn’t even stick. consultants solution to problems they cause or make worse.
-
treasure trove.
-
Want this.
-
one of those things I always wanted to know. Naturally. :-/

There shouldn’t be writers and fans. We’re all writers on such platforms and should be all equal. The moment there are writers and ‘names,’ it’s a failure of the system.
- Ashok Banker on why he stopped using social media.
Note: The writer-fan distinction should not collapse into some false and, god forbid, forced equalisation. It should collapse into us being fans as well as having fans. That is the strength of the network.

Relevant vs useful
Filed Under New models, Social web, Advertising, Marketing | 2 Comments
I am fed up with hearing that advertising, marketing and other push messaging has its place as long as it is relevant. Relevance will not get you very far when my attention is already spread thinly and when I am the ultimate arbiter of how my attention is destributed.
Substitute useful for relevant and watch the shift from the advertisers to the audience.
Relevant means what the advertisers or vendors imagine I want. Useful means what I want as ultimately determined by me.
What has a better chance of getting my attention and further engagement?

good article about cloud computing.

love it. there is certainly incremental innovation and fundamental one. And then there is PR kind of ‘innovation’…
