Week 12 Wikipedia-centric presentation on: -Clay Shirky's Personal Motivation Meets Collaborative Production -Andrew Keen's Cult of the Amateur This presentation walks through Shirky's points, explaining how Wikipedia is held as the ideal model of collaborative production in today's Web 2.0 world. However, it also goes beyond the readings in introducing the WikiScanner and all it has uncovered. This implies that the real issue may not be what Keen calls the "endless digital forest of mediocrity", but the fact that "Wikipedia entries are being used as a medium for corporate propaganda".

3. The document advocates for making the internet a safer and more meaningful experience and discusses challenges around privacy as technology continues to rapidly change and advance.
Social Software in Higher Education
The document discusses how social software can be used in higher education settings. It defines social software as tools that allow people to communicate, collaborate, and build community online. Examples of social software discussed include blogs, wikis, podcasting, and screencasting. Benefits mentioned are humanizing instructors and facilitating reflective learning. The document advises educators to avoid "technolust" and consider sustainability when choosing tools, and emphasizes that technology should enhance learning rather than be the focus.
Journalism 2.0: The future of news
The document discusses the transition from traditional journalism (Journalism 1.0) to new forms of online and participatory journalism (Journalism 2.0). It notes how the rise of blogs and social media has allowed ordinary users to participate in news creation and sharing. It also outlines some of the challenges for a truly global conversation online, such as issues of attention, language barriers, and censorship in some countries. The document promotes the idea that students should learn about these new forms of online and participatory journalism.
Blog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- A blog is a discussion or informational website consisting of discrete posts displayed in reverse chronological order. Blogs started as personal online diaries but now include corporate, organizational, and special interest blogs.
- Early blogs required technical skills but tools emerged around 1999 that allowed non-technical users to easily create and maintain blogs. Popular hosted blogging platforms from this era include Blogger, LiveJournal, and Pitas.
- Blogs have impacted politics and journalism by breaking stories like comments by Senator Trent Lott that cost him his Senate leadership position and questions around documents used in a 60 Minutes segment about President Bush's military service.
Technology: Master not Slave
This document discusses how technology can be viewed either as a master or a servant to humans. It notes that all technologies provide affordances and constraints that change social practices. The document urges people to think about what activities new technologies enable or limit and how social habits have changed with each new technology. It provides an example of how young people now access news through social media links from peers rather than directly visiting websites.

The document discusses the social web and how it allows users to share content like writings, photos, videos, and more with others. It defines features of the social web like simple publishing, tagging, friends lists, comments, and feeds. Examples of popular social software at the time include wikis, blogs, Flickr, YouTube, del.icio.us, and LibraryThing which let users collaborate, share content, and build online communities.

The document discusses principles for designing social web applications for Web 2.0. It covers how tagging works better than traditional categorization for user-generated content. Key principles include making systems personally useful, allowing symbiotic relationships between personal and social content, creating porous boundaries between public and private content, allowing for different levels of participation, and letting people feel the presence of others while also having moments of independence. The overall goal is to design for emergent architecture and allow play.

Social Media: Changing the Face of Response
Presentation at the 2014 Disaster Preparedness Academy. We’ve all witnessed the power and immediacy of social
media in emergency response and influencing world
events. It is imperative that organizations have a social
media strategy in place for emergencies. This workshop will
discuss why social media is viewed as a critical element
in crisis response using real-world examples such as
Superstorm Sandy and the Boston Marathon. Participants
will learn about common social platforms, and how they can
be incorporated into disaster planning. Tools, resources and techniques will be shared that will help organizations build an online presence now that will play a vital role when the next disaster occurs.

The Relationship Between Ethnicity and the Online Experience
This document discusses the differences in the online experiences of ethnic minorities. While the internet was initially seen as an equalizer, access to technology and its use has not been evenly distributed among all ethnic groups. There remains a digital divide where some ethnicities have greater access to information technology than others. Even as access has increased, distinctions remain in how different ethnic groups use technology. Certain social media platforms are more popular among some ethnicities. Online communities have also formed along ethnic lines, with African-American Twitter users creating "Black Twitter" to collectively express ideas and frustrations. Social media has enabled new forms of online activism known as "clicktivism" to raise awareness of social issues.
10 most successful college entrepreneurs
The document lists 10 successful college entrepreneurs including Mark Zuckerberg who created Facebook at Harvard, Bill Gates who developed an algorithm and started Microsoft while at Harvard, and Michael Dell who started Dell Inc. while still a student at University of Texas at Austin. Other notable entrepreneurs are Jerry Yang and David Filo who co-founded Yahoo, Steve Wozniak who co-founded Apple Computer, and Larry Page and Sergey Brin who developed the original Google search engine while studying at Stanford.

Blog
Blogs are websites that consist of periodic posts displayed in reverse chronological order. They evolved from online diaries where individuals would publish personal thoughts and experiences on the web. Initially most blogs were by single authors but now many have multiple contributors. Blogs cover a wide variety of topics from personal interests to news and politics. They allow readers to comment and interact, distinguishing them from static websites. Blogs have grown to influence mainstream media and politics.

The document discusses homelessness in Philadelphia and its causes. It notes that over 31 million people, or 11.3% of the US population, experience homelessness each year. The leading cause of homelessness is inability to afford rent due to low wages or unemployment, even with multiple jobs. The second leading cause is domestic violence. Other contributing factors include lack of affordable housing, substance abuse issues, and mental health problems. The document calls for changes to address the issues driving homelessness.

New Paradigms For Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing
The world of social interaction, fuelled by the plethora of social media tools, has opened up new opportunities to learn and share. Classroom training is no longer an essential part of learning and development. We can now tap into the collective wisdom of peers and experts as and when we need. Skilling ourselves for a challenging and volatile environment is a personal responsibility - we can't rely on others, including the people/organisations we work for.

Felling of trees
Every year more than 2 lakh trees are cut down illegally across the entire state of Maharashtra. In the face of the challenges imposed by climate change, the situation is quite alarming. So much so that many environmentalists have been demanding that the felling of trees should be made into a crime equivalent to culpable homicide. With this background in mind, let's have a look at the legal framework regulating the felling of trees in Maharashtra state.

SEO: Getting Personal
The document discusses how personalization and dynamic content are becoming increasingly important on websites. It notes that 52% of marketers see content personalization as critical and 75% of consumers like it when brands personalize their content. However, personalization can create issues for search engine optimization as dynamic URLs and content are more difficult for search engines to index than static pages. The document provides tips for SEOs to help address these personalization and SEO challenges, such as using static URLs when possible and submitting accurate sitemaps.
Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldaba
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job? Stanford GSB Corporate Governance Research Initiative
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.Viewers also liked (8)

In this chapter, we consider such questions as these: Does the openness and
"democracy" of the Web increase distribution of useful information or of inac
curate, foohsh, and biased information? How should we handle the latter? How
can we evaluate complex computer models of physical and social phenomena?
Is computing technology evil? Why do some people think it is? How does access
to digital technology ditfer among dilferent populations? How should we control
technology to ensure positive uses and consequences? How soon will robots and
digital devices be more intelligent than people? What will happen after that?
Whole books focus on these topics. The presentations here are necessarily
brief. They introduce issues, arguments, and many questions.

And drinking largely sobers us again.

7.1.1 The Need for Responsible Judgment
What is real? What is fake? Why does it matter?

There is a daunting amount of information on the Web—^and much of it is wrong.
Quack medical cures abound. Distorted history, errors, outdated information, bad
financial advice—it is all there. Marketers and pubUc relations firms spread unlabeled
advertisements through blogs, social media, and video sites. Search engines have
largely replaced librarians for finding information, but search engines rank informa
tion sources at least partially by popularity and give prominent display to content
providers who pay; librarians do not. Wikipedia, the biggest online encyclopedia, is
immensely popular, but can we rely on its accuracy and objectivity when anyone can
edit any article at any time? On social journalism sites, readers submit and vote on
news stories. Is this a good way to get news? The nature of the Intemet encourages
people to post their immediate thoughts and reactions without taking time for con
templation or for checking facts. How do we know what is worth reading in contexts
where there are no editors selecting well-written and well-researched articles?

Rcn 3.07
The document discusses the key characteristics of new media, known as the 5 C's: capacity, convergence, control, connections, and collective intelligence. It provides examples of how new media has empowered individuals and social networks to produce and share content in new ways that were previously controlled by traditional media organizations. New media is participatory and decentralized as opposed to old media, which focused on centralized control and distribution of content.
The Rise Of Us (on Collective Intelligence)
The document discusses the rise of social media and Web 2.0 technologies. It defines concepts like blogs, wikis, social networks and discusses how they enable collective intelligence and participation. Examples are given of how organizations use these tools for knowledge management, customer service and marketing. Benefits highlighted include building conversations, disseminating information quickly and allowing public participation.
Log on, tune in, blog out: citizen-journalists, New Media, and subversive act...
The lecture is a general survey of the darker side of Web 2.0-enabled New Media. In particular, I explore some of its frightfully hilarious/hilariously frightful uses by subversive and revolutionary groups on the fringes of contemporary global society. My case studies:
* the French National Front on Second Life;
* the Stormfront White Nationalist Community;
* the global anticapitalism movement (specifically, the IndyMedia Network);
* radical Islamism (specifically, AqsaTube);
* and the Second Life Liberation Army.
I lightly get into some of the theoretical issues, in particular the nature of New Media and today’s internet, and the role culture plays in determining the extent to which a subversive or revolutionary organization goes “high tech.”
The lecture is decidely “low tech,” intended for non-specialists and all-around end-users. However, it may also be of value to those with technical or journalistic backgrounds who may not be aware of the various fringe subcultures forming around the new technology.
NIH Management Series Seminar - June 2008 - Jim Angus
The document summarizes a presentation about using Web 2.0 technologies like social media to improve communications at NIH.

Cult of the amateur or cognitive surplus
Slides used in the MAC309 lecture on the pros and cons of Web 2.0, democratisation and participation engendered by the Web
The Wiki and the Wikipedia: A Comparative Study
Ward Cunningham coined the term "wiki" in 1995 to describe easily editable web pages. Wikipedia began in 2000 as an online encyclopedia called Nupedia but grew to outnumber Nupedia when users found Wikipedia's wiki format easier to contribute to. Wikis allow more creative freedom than Wikipedia which has strict rules and structure as an encyclopedia. Both rely on public contributions which can introduce bias but also leverage collective knowledge to improve accuracy.
Wikinomics - Mrs Brown
This document provides an overview of key concepts from the book "Wikinomics" by Don Tapscott and Anthony Williams. It outlines three main learning objectives: 1) to consider issues relating to Web 2.0, 2) to understand the concept of "wikinomics", and 3) to examine benefits and difficulties of wikinomics. Key terminology from the book is defined, such as "peering", "prosumers", and concepts related to the democratization of media through user participation and peer production. Examples are given of early peer-produced projects like Linux, Wikipedia, and MySpace that showed the potential of mass collaboration online.

Web 2.0 and a Changing World
Presentation given at the ALIA Conference (Sept 1st, 2010) http://conferences.alia.org.au/access2010/
NOTE: slide 2 is a screenshot from Mike Wesch's "The Machine is Us/ing Us" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE) while the last 2 minutes of this video is played.
Schwartz Future Of Journalism
The document discusses how new media and web-based technologies are being used by both mainstream and fringe groups for organizing, propaganda, and mobilization purposes. It provides examples of how Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign effectively utilized new media, while also examining how the French National Front party, American white supremacist groups like Stormfront, and others are tapping into new media's potential to spread their messages and recruit new members.
Webstock Bob Rapp
The document discusses the shift from one-to-many mass media communications to many-to-many social media interactions. It notes that as the number of media channels increased in the 2000s, mass media became less effective at reaching consumers. Social media supports sharing information through social interactions online and allows people to become content producers rather than just consumers. However, social media also brings challenges around how power and responsibility are managed in online communities.
Hacktivism
Hacktivism refers to hacking used for social activism and political purposes. While it can empower internet users more than passive "clicktivism", it operates in a legal and ethical gray area. Common hacktivist tactics include denial of service attacks, site defacement, site redirection, and information theft. Notable hacktivist groups include Anonymous and Wikileaks. As technology becomes more connected through mobile apps and the Internet of Things, hacktivism will become more powerful and potentially dangerous. However, hacktivism exists on a spectrum rather than as purely good or evil.
Web2 0storytelling 2009
The document discusses the emergence of storytelling using Web 2.0 technologies. It provides examples of how blogs, wikis, social media, photos and videos are being used to tell stories in serialized, collaborative and interactive ways. The document also considers pedagogical uses and the future of "Web 2.0 storytelling," as new forms continue to develop that combine different media into immersive narratives.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Exploring Digital Cultures W12: The Wikipedia Debate
- 2. We can’t rely on just one source of information . We don’t know who wrote it. Contributors may have agendas, and significant editing authority. Errors can go uncorrected for months.
- 3. Robbie Williams eats domestic pets in pubs for money. David Beckham was a Chinese goalkeeper in the 18th century. Sergey Brin (of Google fame) is sexy, dating Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia founder), and dead. Tony Blair worships Hitler. The Duchess of Cornwall's Christian name is Cow-miller. The University of Cincinnati's former president is a whore. A yacht killed British TV presenter Vernon Kay. Conan O'Brien assaults sea turtles while canoeing. British TV gardener Alan Titchmarsh published a new version of the Kama Sutra. Sienna Miller has modelled nude.
- 5. Wikipedia’s self-correction process (Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales calls it “self-healing”) is very robust. There is considerable value created by the public review process that is continually going on in Wikipedia – value that is easy to underestimate, for those who have not experienced it adequately.
