Mena's Corner: Six Apart Redesign Coming: "Six Apart Redesign Coming
01.30.2005

Later this week, we'll be unveiling a new redesign of the various Six Apart websites (Movable Type, TypePad and Six Apart corporate site). Hopefully, the changes that have been made will convey our desire to present all of Six Apart's websites in a cohesive and standard way. We've worked with the folks at Mule Design to make this redesign possible and, I think, you'll be happy with the results."

World Economic Forum i Davos har blogs på programmet
World Economic Forum - Welcome to the Blogopolis
By providing highly personalized, real-time political information, blogging is reshaping how citizens make political decisions, for good and ill. 1) When do bloggers provide better information and analysis than conventional media? 2) Are bloggers effective media watchdogs? 3) Can bloggers be a positive political tool, and not just a threat to the powers that be? 4) What is the relationship between bloggers and democratic values?

Klastrup's Cataclysms forudser at valget vil få blogging til at blomstre i DK.
Et gæt på Yahoo's modtræk til Googles opkøb af Blogger:
The Internet Stock Blog: Yahoo to acquire Six Apart?: "Yahoo to acquire Six Apart?

Six Apart, the owner of hosted blogging service TypePad and publisher of blogging software Movable Type, just acquired LiveJournal. Within six months Six Apart itself will be acquired by Yahoo!."

The blogospere vil nok hoppe i stolen over artiklens begrundelse for gættet:
"Because the blogging platforms are the largest generators of new Web content, they are a natural target for the providers of PPC ads. Many bloggers dislike the notion of advertising on blogs, but they're in for a shock. Blogger, TypePad, LiveJournal and the other blogging platforms will make it much easier for Web publishers to profit from ads. They'll build contextual ads into Web site templates, and use the publishers' sign-up information to open simultaneous advertising accounts."

Commentspam
Så nåede Spam bloggospheren.

Nogen tager det meget alvorligt CommentSpam, CommentSPAM.org
På Services siden ligger to - hm, døde - links til lister og spammeres IP adresser.
Nogen er meget, meget sure, Attention Comment Spammers
Commentspam findes i forskellige genrer ifølge Concerning SpamComment Spam Manifesto
Mange skriver meget: En Google liste om Commentspam
Baggrunden er Googles Ranking system, så Google får også et par rituelle hak: Wired, 12.03.04

Bortset fra irritationen og belastede servere er bekymringen også betydningen for kommunikation:
"Howard Rheingold, a futurist who predicts always-on communication will revolutionize public discourse, is worried that all these new forms of spam could freeze the revolution in its tracks. There will be no great social transformation if cell phones are turned off, instant messenger programs shut down or blog comments disabled to halt the flow of offers for online porn or cheap drugs.
“It forces you to either turn off the comments and lose some of the value of the medium, or spend your time deleting spam,” said Rheingold, who runs his own blog." (Spammers now clogging blogs, IM, Personal Web journals grow cell phones, instant messages)

Og så er der da også afballancerede meninger: Comment spam arms race

Serendipity - min yndlingsbegreb :)
- kontrolfreaks på arbejde.... igen!

Whatever happened to serendipity?

Kommentar til Jonathan Abrams' beskrivelse af Friendster som services som "proactively influence serendipity."
Serendipity and Self-Selection with Social Software - The Social Software Weblog - socialsoftware.weblogsinc.com: "Serendipity and Self-Selection with Social Software"

Mens jeg er tilbøjelig til at give Judith Meskill (thesocialwareblog) ret i hendes skepsis overfor det proaktive, synes jeg nu ikke begrebet serendipity står helt klart i Judith Meskills kommentar. Ligesom serendipity næppe kan 'proaktiveres frem', kan det vel heller ikke siges at Google/ensøgemaskine er 'serendipity værktøj', men blot et værktøj, hvor - under brug af hvilket - serendipity kan forekomme.

Rygtet bekræftes
Six Apart køber LiveJournal. Brad Fitzpatrick gør i sandhed, hvad han kan for at imødegå de bekymringer, der har huseret blandt LJ'erne de sidste dage. Mens bekymringerne rettede sig mod kulturen, er forsvaret rettet mod trust. En eksemplarisk case om to af nettets store buzzword.
NB. den enorme diskussion, Brad Fitzpatrick' annnouncement affødte på sitet!

Mena (Six Apart) har også i Mena's Corner et langt indlæg om handlen. Hun omtaler eksplicit hierarkiet og fordommene bloggerne imellem, men hun har jo også erfaring med, hvilke konflikter, der hurtigt kan hvirvles op i det miljø...... (Mena's Shocking Baby Scandal! I, II)

Også Mena ved præcis, hvad Branding and Affiliation is all about in the times of Risk Society: Earning Your Trust

Hvem kommer først? :)

Bloggerne fusionere. The 'Tribes' protesterer.
Rygterne fortæller at Six Apart er i færd med at købe Live Journal:
Om Malik on Broadband - Six Apart to buy Live Journal
apophenia er ikke begejstret og begrundelsen er ret interessant:

"Live Journal is a culture, not simply a product or commodity that can be bought. From an outsider's perspective, it might appear as though they are similar properties - they are both blogging tools, right? Wrong. [......] Movable Type is a product; LiveJournal is a community. Six Apart is seen as a community that provides tools, not culture. [.....]While many bloggers love to talk about LJ with disdain, as a low-brow version of the culture, i adore LJ from the bottom of my heart and i'm truly concerned that LJ's culture will be corrupted by an acquisition. It is not like any other blogging service and the needs that it serves are fundamentally different."

Om LJ, se.....

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."

The New York Times > Magazine > Phenomenon: Your Blog or Mine?: "Your Blog or Mine?
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.

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.

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.
