Smart Mobs: Folksonomy - more collective classification: "Folksonomy - more collective classification
How to Recognize The Future When It Lands On You, Technologies of Cooperation
Posted by Gerrit Visser at 09:08 AM

According to the free encyclopedia Wikipedia Folksonomy is a neologism for a practice of collaborative categorization using simple tags in a flat namespace.

This feature has begun appearing in a variety of social software. At present, the best examples of online folksonomies are social bookmarking probably del.icio.us, a bookmark sharing site, and Flickr, for photo sharing. Gmail's labeling system is somewhat similar to the use of tags, but it is not a folksonomy because users cannot share their categorizations. Folksonomy is related to the concept of faceted classification from library science.

Denham Grey writes on KM Knowdlege Tools that there is a growing interest in social classification and its relation to ontology development."

Privacy in the age of blogging
- tanker om blogging med undergraduates.
Crooked Timber: "As I prepare for my upcoming undergraduate class in which students will be required to maintain blogs, I have spent quite a bit of time thinking about how to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). According to FERPA, I have to make sure that certain details about student enrollment in my classes are kept private. In the process, I have realized that this is a one-way street. There is nothing preventing my students from blogging whatever information they decide about me. Of course, social sanctions may still exist. Students may decide it is not worth upsetting their instructor through such practices. Nonetheless, there will be plenty of opportunities for blogging things after class is over. Moreover, they may have individual blogs not associated with the class that are written anonymously and can serve as an outlet for commentary about others."

By JEFFREY ROSEN

Published: December 19, 2004

One of the first sex scandals of the blogosphere ended, of course, in a book deal. In May, Ana Marie Cox, the Internet gossip whose Web log, Wonkette, focuses on Washington, published a link to another blogger who called herself the Washingtonienne. In the blog, Washingtonienne, a Capitol Hill employee, used a Senate computer to post intimate details about her experience sleeping with six different men, some of whom were paying for her favors.

The NITLE News Volume 2, Number 1, winter 2003: "Weblogs in Education: Bringing the World to the Liberal Arts Classroom

- Sarah Lohnes

A new, easy-to-use web publishing tool known as a weblog allows users to publish content to the web from their browsers, providing users with an unprecedented ability to participate in the internet community. In the true liberal arts tradition, teachers and students are using these tools to effectively break down the walls of the classroom, integrating teaching and learning with local and virtual communities."

Crooked Timber: Blogs by students
I am teaching an undergraduate class this Winter called “Internet and Society”. [1] I am going to require each student to maintain his/her own blog. This poses some challenges from keeping up with the amount of written material to assuring a certain level of privacy for students (as per related federal laws). I still have a few weeks to think about the specifics and thought would see what experiences and wisdom others may have accumulated in this realm.

Mathemagenic: learning and KM insights: " Blogging as breathing or how to find time for blogging?

(Friday, December 03, 2004)

On the use of time for blogging

The most asked question when I speak to people who don't blog, is where I get the time to do it.

In Umea we discussed time consumption and listed a number of time-consuming factors. Time is needed:

* To get used to the tools
* To grow a network
* To get into action with others
* To grow trust
* For getting to know and find useful (re)sources
* To find your voice (for yourself, for others)"
This seems like a list of things that apply to a lot more situations than just blogging.

En tankevækkende tekst, som peger på det væsentlige forhold, at blogging og netværk ikke bare opstår i løbet af no time. Det skal læres og dyrkes.

Boing Boing: Le moleskine blog: "On this wonderful little blog, a young man in Bordeaux, France sketches his way through life in a series of moleskine journals. He scans the results, and posts them online for all to see. Simple things like this bring me endless delight in the power of the web. It's a microscope. It's a telescope. Its lens captures a field of infinitely varying depth. Link to Beleg's moleskine online, Link to his main blaugue, and link to the Wandering Moleskine Project. "

Boing Boing: MSN Spaces: seven dirty blogs: "Earlier today, I posted comments from a BoingBoing reader about the fact that MSN Spaces, Microsoft's new blogging tool, censors certain words you might try to include in a blog title or url. If you can't speak freely on a blog, what's the point of having one? This demanded a full investigation.

Using my existing MSN Passport account, I attempted to create a number of blogs, one after the other. The results of which titles passed and which were banned may surprise you -- or at least generate a few Beavis-and-Butthead snorkles. Each of the linked test-titles in this BoingBoing post points to to an actual, unmodified screenshot of the corresponding test blog I created (or was denied the ability to create) using MSN Search."

Article: The 'blog' revolution sweeps across China�| New Scientist

(19:00 24 November 04, Special Report from New Scientist Print Edition.)

It took a chance online encounter between a software engineer from Shanghai and a teacher in a remote province of China to start shaking up the power balance between the people and the government of the world’s most populous nation.

In August 2002, Isaac Mao, who worked at the Shanghai office of the chip maker Intel, was one of only a handful of people in China who had heard the word “blog”. A regular web surfer, he was fascinated by the freedom these online journals gave to ordinary people to publish both their own and their readers’ views online.

Surfing the US website blogger.com, Mao was thrilled to find Zheng Yunsheng, a teacher at a technical school in Fujian province. He left a message on Zheng’s blog, and two weeks later Mao and Zheng started CNBlog.org, China’s first online discussion forum about blogging technology and culture.

They soon gathered a small but devoted group of participants, many of whom went on to develop the technology that makes blogging possible for China’s half-a-million bloggers.

PortalsMag.com: Big-Time Blogging
Blogs and content aggregators are lead players in a new generation of tools that promise greater ability to create, distribute, and access Web content. The two also happen to have a symbiotic relationship: Blogs make content creation more accessible, and aggregators give greater control to readers of the ongoing proliferation of Web-based content. These tools are gaining attention in the media and the marketplace and hold great promise to transform the way the Web works. They are also starting to make inroads within corporations as collaborative and content management tools that can be used in conjunction with existing systems or as replacements.

Berlingske Tidende: "Blogs og kritisk journalistik


Af Af Jesper Lau Hansen Professor, dr.jur., Det juridiske Fakultet, Københavns Universitet
En blogger er en person, der fører en web log - en side på internettet med kommentarer, som alle kan se. Blogs kan handle om alt, og mange har karakter af nyhedsdækning ofte med en klar politisk vinkel. I nogle tilfælde er deres dækning mere kildekritisk og alsidig end de traditionelle mediers."

En kvalitativ undersøgelse af webloggens betydning i hverdagslivet Speciale om blogs. Medievidenskab, Københavns Universitet.

Kære Niels
Jeg mente ikke, at folk skulle sende emails - til dig/alle altså....

Det, jeg efterlyste, var en funktion i det vidensdelingssytem Kodefabrikken har lavet, der gør det muligt at sende emails fra eget postsystem til vidensdelingssystemet.
Dette indlæg har jeg f.eks. skrevet i et postprogram (Inotes). Derefter har jeg sendt det til min blog (den side, du nu sidder og ser på).

Fordelen er, at 'brugeren' anvender kendt teknologi (email), i stedet for at skulle have logins osv. til et nyt system. Forskellen fra mailen er, at indlæg er 'sorteret' idet den ligger på hjemmesiden i stedet for at rode rundt i deltagernes postsystemer.

Smart ikke?

Kærlig hilsen Lis

"Computers are useless. They can only give you answers." -- Pablo Picasso

Som skrevet står er dette en test af BlogJets betaversion, som er gratis indtil d. 15. april. Umiddelbart ser den mindre avanceret ud end BlogThis. Der er f.eks. langt færre HTML Tags i menuen (dog er der adgang til den rå HTML kode).
Det er uhyre let at Uploade billeder, og der er også en simpel audio funktion.

En anden ret smart ting er, at man kan editere i gamle Blogtekster ved at hente dem ind (Wiew history) i BlogJet.

Der er flere Googies på HaloScan, for eksempel forskellige CSS templates til kommentarfeltet. Husk at indstille tiden.

MovableType har en god Beginner's Guide to TrackBack og How TrackBack Works giver en grundig forklaring.

Prisen for TrackBack var, at jeg måtte så skille mig af med gode gamle Rebloggers kommentarfelt, som har tjent mig vel. Tak og farvel Reblogger :)

Rather than hire someone or mooch off a friend, The Blog Exchange and Open Market are based on the idea of barterware, that is, an exchange of goods and services that are of value between two parties."

AP Wire | 02/29/2004 | Study: Blogging Still Infrequent: "The Pew Internet and American Life Project, in a study released Sunday, found that somewhere between 2 percent and 7 percent of adult Internet users in the United States actually keep their own blogs.
Of those, only about 10 percent update them daily, the majority doing so only once a week or less often.......

......That survey found only 2 percent of users keeping blogs, although a preliminary analysis of follow-up surveys from early 2004 showed the figure increasing to about 7 percent.

About 11 percent of Internet users report visiting blogs written by others. Most often, they were for blogs written by friends. But blog readers are more likely to go to journals kept by strangers rather than by family members."

Thesis nr. 15 i The Cluetrain Manifesto: The End of Business as Usual lyder:

In just a few more years, the current homogenized "voice" of business—the sound of mission statements and brochures—will seem as contrived and artificial as the language of the 18th century French court.

en interessant tese, når et af kravene til uddannelsesinstitutioners hjemmesider (gennemsigtighed og åbenhed) er at værdigrundlaget skal fremgå af institutionernes website...... Det bekræfter den tanke jeg har om, at det ikke er den webside, kommende studerende vil være mest interesseret i!
som Thesis 16 udtrykker det:
Already, companies that speak in the language of the pitch, the dog-and-pony show, are no longer speaking to anyone.

Daily Kos :: Political Analysis and other daily rants on the state of the nation., en blog, der støtter alle de demokratiske kandidater i den amerikanske valgkamp, siges at have 70.000 daglige læsere og er dermed den anden mest læste blog i verden.
Ikke nok med, at den læses meget kommentarerne er ofte på flere hundrede.
I går havde Information en interessant artikel om blogs som en moderne politisk debat: 'Blog-politik i den virtuelle landsby.'

Ja, ja... sammenlignet hermed er den plads CVU Sønderjyllands hjemmeside har som den 251.472. mest læste side i verden jo beskeden. Alligevel er vi da ret stolte.
Information hævder i dag, at der i dag er mere end 6 mia. poster, 4,28 mia. websider, 880 mia billeder, 845 mio. posteringer i Usenet-nyhedsgrupper og et stigende antal bog-relaterede sider i non webformat - i forhold til samme tidspunkt sidste år, er der tale om en fordobling!!!

Wikipedia
Fra Kuro5hin.org: February 25, 2004 (The Internet): Wikipedia (Wikipedia.org), a volunteer-created, multi-language encyclopedia, announced today that the project has reached a milestone of 500,000 articles, spread across 50 different languages.

BlogThis!
I Blogger.com arkivet fra july 2003 ligger funktionen BlogThis! Med den kan man markere tekst på en website og sende teksten direkte til sin Blog - altså uden at skulle omkring Blogger-siden. Fikst!

BlogRolling
Med BlogRolling er det nu muligt at indeksere, vise og vedligeholde links på Bloggen uden at skulle omkring templaten. Fra Blogrolling.com har jeg hentet et script samt installeret en bookmarklet, et lille program, som jeg - med 'drag and drop' - har lagt i browserens 'Favoritlink' (se ill.)



Klik på 'Blogroll it!', på den aktuelle side, udfyld 2 linier i et PopUp vindue og Voila! så er linket på bloggen. En rigtig smart og tidsbesparende funktion.

Blogrolling er gratis, men ved at købe en Gold version for ca. 20 $ (kun muligt via PayPall) har jeg fået mulighed for at indeksere mine links. I gratisversionen får man kun én blogroll, men Goldversionen giver ret til 10 - dog ikke nødvendigvis på én og samme Blog

Serendipity
(Definition: pure luck in discovering things you were not looking for)

På jagt efter noget andet, fandt jeg Blog sangen. Jeg havde hørt om den og været på jagt efter den længe, men her er den så, på Fairvue - både lydfil og tekst.

Read Darwin -Are You Ready for Social Software? - WHAT'S NEW - Magazine - Darwin Magazine: "Social Software: Bottom-up
Social software is likely to come to mean the opposite of what groupware and other project- or organization-oriented collaboration tools were intended to be. Social software is based on supporting the desire of individuals to affiliate, their desire to be pulled into groups to achieve their personal goals. Contrast that with the groupware approach to things where people are placed into groups defined organizationally or functionally. "
