It will be available as an “Info Tech Tip & Trends” (http://www.ala.org/ala/acrlbucket/is/iscommittees/webpages/emergingtech/techtips/index.cfm) One section of the piece will provide examples of how this particular...
Project Aims to Build Online Classroom With Latest...
Howard Rheingold was one of the first popular authors to write about the promises of online social networks, starting with his 1993 book, The Virtual Community. Now he’s bringing the latest online-community tools — wikis, videos, blogs, and the like — to the college classroom. And what better way to encourage professors to use online community tools than to create an online...

From Singularity Summit Conference Page
A growing number of highly respected technological figures, including Ray Kurzweil and Hans Moravec, have in recent years forecast that computational intelligence will, in the coming two or three decades, not only match but swiftly surpass human intelligence, and that civilization will at that point be radically transformed in ways that our puny minds cannot possibly imagine. This bold hypothesis,...

TIME: Why do you describe Facebook as a “social utility” rather than a “social network?” Zuckerberg: I think there’s confusion around what the point of social networks is. A lot of different companies characterized as social networks have different goals - some serve the function of business networking, some are media portals. *** What we’re trying to do is...

What the Tweet? by Will Richardson
“So let me get this straight…you’re just letting people know what you’re doing when you do this?”
“Right.”
“And you call it ‘Tweeting’?”
“Well, uh, yeah. It’s kinda like a bird letting you know where he’s at, I guess.”
“And you do this how often.”
“Depends. Maybe 4, 5…10 times a day. It doesn’t take that much time, really.”
“Like how much time?”
“Dunno…maybe 10-15 minutes, total.”
“And all you’re doing is letting your friends know what you’re doing, right? At any given moment.”
“Right. But they’re not all friends in the standard sense. I mean I’ve never met some of these people.”
“And they let you know what they’re doing.”
“Right.”
“Even people you don’t know.”
“Right”
“Why?”
“Dunno.”
“Like that guy teachanlearn is ‘Reading RSS’ and he wants you to know that?”
“Um, I guess. But he also wants me to click the link there too.”
“Well, where does that go?”
“Dunno…let’s find out…it’s a blog post about a new WordPress theme.”
“And he felt the need to ‘tweet’ that?”
“Apparently.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I know. It’s kinda hard to explain. I mean I didn’t really get it at first…still not sure if I do.”
“You know all these people…how many?”
“Twenty-eight right now. They’re all in my network.”
“The network.”
“Right. My teachers…my classroom…remember? We talked about this.”
“Right. And these other people, these ‘followers’. How many?”
“Um, 209 right now.”
“209! And they want to know what you are doing?”
“I guess so, though I can’t imagine why.”
“But you only follow 28.”
“Right.”
“Does that upset them?”
“Who?”
“All those people who are ‘following’ you that you’re not ‘following’.”
“I dunno. I hope not. I can’t follow more than this many right now.”
“But I still don’t get it. Why do you want to follow them at all?”
“It’s just another layer of the connection, I think. I mean on some level, I like knowing that Chris missed his plane or that John’s doing a wiki workshop or whatever. It’s not important stuff on any major level, but it adds something.”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know. Just…just…presence. Just this weird presence thing. And depth. I can’t really explain it.”
“Presence.”
“Well, more than that. I mean a lot of people post links and resources and ask questions and stuff. I learn from it too.”
“And people answer? So it’s like IM, right?”
“Um…no. I don’t do this for conversation, though it turns into that sometimes.”
“I don’t think I get it.”
“I don’t either.”
“Then why do you do it?”

Lior Zemer, "The Idea of Authorship in Copyright"
« June 2007 | Main From the publisher’s website: As information flows become increasingly ubiquitous in our post digital environment, the challenges to traditional concepts of intellectual property and the practices deriving from them are immense. The romantic understanding of the lone author as an endless source of new creations has to face these challenges. In order to do so, this...
