Editor's Notes
- The Social Life of InformationJohn Seely Brown & Paul DugidHarvard Business School Press, 2000“The ends of information, after all, are human ends. The logic of information must ultimately be the logic of humanity. For all information’s independence and extent, it is people, in their communities, organizations, and institutions, who ultimately decide what it all means and why it matters.”Business Week predicted the paperless office in 1975New York times predicted the departure of the pencil in 1938
- For the mathematically inclined…
- …and for the non-mathematically inclinedThree types of people: those that can do math and those that can’t
- “While the old Web was about Web sites, clicks, and “eyeballs,” the new Web is about communities, participation and peering. As users and computer power multiply, and easy-to-use tools proliferate, the Internet is evolving into a global, living, networked computer that anyone can program. Even the simple act of participating in an online community makes a contribution to the new digital commons – whether one’s building a business on Amazon or producing a video clip for YouTube, creating a community around his or her flickr photo collection or editing the astronomy entry on Wikipedia.” – Wikinomics, Don Tapscott & Anthony D. Williams
- Major companies didn’t want the telephone because the telegraph was used by “experts”, one at each end. So, Bell but telephones in hotels for “regular” people to use to call the front desk. i.e. Bell put his faith in “popular use” instead of “sophistication and organizational expertise”. –Social Life of Information
- Let me share some quotes with you…“…the introduction of electronic banking, which not only began to break down the pattern of ‘banker’s hours’ but also increasingly eliminated the teller, leaving the customer to perform operations previously done by the bank staff.”“Instead of ranking people by what they own, as the market ethic does, the prosumer ethic places a high value on what they do.”“The de-massification of the media today presents a dazzling diversity of role models and life-styles for one to measure oneself against. Moreover, the new media do not feed us fully formed chunks, but broken chips and blips of imagery. Instead of being handed a selection of coherent identities to choose among, we are required to piece one together: a configurative or modular ‘me’. This is far more difficult, and it explains why so many millions are desperately searching for identity.”Can you guess the book/author/year?

- LibraryThingI SEE DEAD PEOPLE’S BOOKSThomas JeffersonJohn Adams’ library went up yesterday.
- Calling Amazon.com “social software” is a surprise to some but it does have most of the features:taggingrecommendationsFriendsEverything is Miscellaneous by David Weinberger, p199-120“The ISBN of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick illustrated by Rockwell Kent is 0679600108. At the Library of Congress site, a search of that ISBN reveals that the book is a Modern library edition, 822 pages long, 21 centimeters high, printed on recycled, acid-free paper. At Amazon.com, a search of the ISBN connects us to Amazon’s analysis of the book’s distinctive phrases (“pagan harpooners”), the fact that yesterday this edition was the 43,631st most bought book but today it’s fallen to 49,581, that it contains 208,968 words, that its Fog index (a standard measure of readability) says it’s of medium difficulty, that your purchase gets you 14,643 words per dollar, and the 286 people have written reviews – every one of which you can read – and have awarded it an average of four out of five stars. You can also go to ISBN.nu, set up in 1998 by the journalist Glenn Fleishman, to get information about where to buy the book online and a list of the various editions available under other ISBNs, including audio versions. At LibraryLookup.com – created by Jon Udell, another journalist – you can enter the ISBN to see if your local library has a copy of the book. The PULP project will pull together information about the book from multiple sites, including reviews and annotations. At Harvard’s experimental H2O site, you can find all the registered courses that have Moby-Dick on their syllabi, including an MIT course called “Major Authors: Melville and [Toni] Morrison,” suggesting a connection most of us would not have made.”

- “It’s the simplest lesson of the Internet: it’s the people stupid. We don’t have computers because we want to interact with machines; we have them because they allow us to communicate more effectively with other people.”─ Douglas Rushkoff, Get Back in the Box: Innovation from the Inside Out
