      txt from: Giant Global Graph - Tim Berners Lee's Blog
      Its not the Social Network Sites that are interesting -- it is the Social Network itself. The Social Graph. The way I am connected, not the way my Web pages are connected.
      [...]
      In the long term vision, thinking in terms of the graph rather than the web is critical to us making best use of the mobile web, the zoo of wildy differing devices which will give us access to the system. Then, when I book a flight it is the flight that interests me. Not the flight page on the travel site, or the flight page on the airline site, but the URI (issued by the airlines) of the flight itself. That's what I will bookmark. And whichever device I use to look up the bookmark, phone or office wall, it will access a situation-appropriate view of an integration of everything I know about that flight from different sources. The task of booking and taking the flight will involve many interactions. And all throughout them, that task and the flight will be primary things in my awareness, the websites involved will be secondary things, and the network and the devices tertiary. I'll be thinking in the graph. My flights. My friends. Things in my life. My breakfast. What was that? Oh, yogourt, granola, nuts, and fresh fruit, since you ask.

      txt ex: Skyscrapers won't turn Croydon into Barcelona
      It's one of the biggest questions of the age: does spending a lot on flashy buildings by international "starchitects" actually deliver regeneration? It delivers something: nice, RIBA award-winning buildings. Maybe a couple of weeks of athletics. Occasionally, a stupendous folly. And a lot of deja vu. [...]
      [...] how much money do you really need to spend on architecture to regenerate an area's fortunes? Isn't it time we started seeing regeneration as a bottom-up, people-focused process and not a top-down way of spending millions on funky buildings?

      txt from: The New York Times - By ALEX WILLIAMS
      “Our lives are just getting busier, the world is starting to throw more stuff at us,” he said. “Five years ago it was still pretty rare to have relatives sending you IMs. No one had Flickr feeds or Twitter. YouTube, Facebook and MySpace didn’t exist.”

      Facebook announced its new social advertising plans. text from: Rough type -The social graft
      Infect me. I'm yours. Facebook, which distinguished itself by being the anti-MySpace, is now determined to out-MySpace MySpace. It's a nifty system: First you get your users to entrust their personal data to you, and then you not only sell that data to advertisers but you get the users to be the vector for the ads. And what do the users get in return? An animated Sprite Sips character to interact with.

      Twenty minutes to understand problems and opportunities of the digital new age. from: TED Talks - Larry Lessig: How creativity is being strangled by the law
      Larry Lessig gets TEDsters to their feet, whooping and whistling, following this elegant presentation of “three stories and an argument.” The Net’s most adored lawyer brings together John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights, and the “ASCAP cartel” to build a case for creative freedom. He pins down the key shortcomings of our dusty, pre-digital intellectual property laws, and reveals how bad laws beget bad code. Then, in an homage to cutting-edge artistry, he throws in some of the most hilarious remixes you’ve ever seen.

      from: www.futuresonic.com
      Digital culture burns bright with a vision of being not in isolation but in groups, placing the relations between people first. Beyond the hype lies ever greater isolation and conformity. The Futuresonic 2008 theme is The Social - Social Networking Unplugged. Join us as we go in search of the social. Web 2.0... I take part you take part he takes part we take part you all take part they profit. (Slogan from Paris '68, remixed)

      ArtFutura 2007 - The Next Web - 25-28 October
      Barcelona Alicante Cádiz Granada Madrid Murcia Palma de Mallorca San Sebastián Valladolid Vigo Vitoria Zaragoza The eighteenth edition of the festival of Digital Culture and Creativity that has become a point of reference in Spain will take place in more than eleven cities from the 25 to the 28 October with an extensive program that will explore the most important projects and ideas that have arisen on the international panorama of new media, interactive design, videogames and digital animation over the last 12 months.
      The 2.0 revolutions that have taken place over the last two years have completely changed the face of the Web. They have transformed it into a space of social participation and collective cooperation that the first theorists of cyber culture of the early 90s would never have imagined. However, along with the boom of participative social networks on the web, some of the original utopias that understood Internet as an opportunity to build a parallel and autonomous world with its own rules have also regained strength. Among those who are starting to form the rules of a Web 3.0 and those who continue to defend a net understood as a large forum for the social debate of our time, we are starting to see the beginnings of a next web.

      Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at the Kansas State University, strikes again with this video on youtube about internet. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4CV05HyAbM] Mix it with Everything is Miscellaneous:
      But we all know how reality works, so why worry about what might be possible in some sci-fi alternative universe? [...] Instead of being limited by space and operational simplicity in the number of items it can stock, the digital world can include every item and variation the buyers at Staples could possibly want. Instead of items being placed in one area of the store, or occasionally in two, they can be classified in every different category in which users might conceivably expect to find them. Instead of living in the neat, ordered shelves we find in the Prototype Labs, items can be jumbled digitally and sorted out only when and how a user wants to look for them.

      Umberto Galimberti - "Psyche and Techne"
      Technology doesn't tend to a scope, it doesn't promote a sense, it doesn't open salvation scenarios, it doesn't redeem, it doesn't say a truth: it works.
