“Some of the data surprised me… such as the fact that more IT people believe Podcasting has substantial value (21%) than do wikis (14%). Social networking and blogging are also far down on the list. I’m surprised folksonomy and social bookmarking wasn’t covered, but the full report may have more data. The popularity of IM and podcasting does fascinate me… because that’s classic centralized Web 1.0 technology: I speak, you comply. Blogs, wikis, and social networking are more about the wisdom of crowds, where the correct decision is more of an emergent property of the system…”

“Federated Search is an emerging feature of automated, web-based information retrieval systems. It is also often referred to as a “web-portal”, as opposed to simply a web-based search engine. “Federated searching consists of (1) transforming a query and broadcasting it to a group of disparate databases with the appropriate syntax, (2) merging the results collected from the databases, (3) presenting them in a succinct and unified format with minimal duplication, and (4) providing a means, performed either automatically or by the portal user, to sort the merged result set.”

“I know some people are super driven by comments and interacting with the public (that popularity factor/hit quanity is what makes them feel their blog is successful or not and their moods are actually somewhat dependent on this factor), but for me, the comments are just enjoyable, not some determining factor that I judge my writing or myself by. Comments don’t make me feel more or less successful as a writer/blogger. What makes me feel like I’m blogging “well” (by MY standards) is when I am honest, unafraid to be so, and just freely writing.”

“
Il fenomeno small world significa che singoli utenti riescono, a partire da punti simili interni ad un cluster, attraverso pochi link a coprire grandi aree della Rete e incontrare siti diversificati. […] I siti più visibili amplificano ed evidenziano il contenuto. […]
Il risultato di questa struttura è un sistema ordinato di filtro e sintesi dell’informazione.[…] Senza bisogno di alcuna gerarchia formale e senza creare singoli punti di controllo, ogni gruppo genera un insieme di siti che effettuano il primo lavoro di filtro, aderendo ai giudizi dei partecipanti.
Il processo viene replicato in gruppi più grandi e più generici, fino a che la posizione sintetizzata “localmente” e “regionalmente” diventa visibile e rilevante per tutto il Web.

“Je pense notamment que le darwinisme 2.0 va s’accélérer, que beaucoup de sociétés vont disparaîtres, être acquises ou fusionner. La tendance a commencé depuis quelques mois, elle va s’accélerer. Et tout cela est plutôt sain.”

“i tumblr (e non il tumblr, uno specifico), sono la naturale evoluzione della coda lunga di google. Un tumblr presenta sempre contenuto aggiornato ma mai proprio, come ho già detto, e quel contenuto è quasi sempre incentrato su una determinata nicchia. Un selettore. Un filtro, come ce ne sono molti nella coda lunga. Solo che questo filtro è umano, questa la sua più grande qualità, non è infatti un preciso (e prevedibile) algoritmo ma il risultato degli “sforzi” di una persona che ha sentimenti e prova emozioni, influenzabile quindi ma soprattutto imprevedibile.”

“Web3.0 is commonly known as the combination of the Semantic Web and Web2.0. It is certainly more than that, it is the combination of machine and human semantics at different levels, it is the combination of HTTP and peer-to-peer.”

“Ironically, the Web has become philosophical. If the web becomes semantic, ie based on meaning, then what is meaning and who decides? If the user decides meaning, does the Web as a whole learn anything?”

“[Cisco CEO John Chambers] said: “I think [Web 2.0] will be dramatically bigger than the first wave both in terms of network volumes as well as productivity and business model changes. It’s going to change business models in a way that will make the first phase of the Internet look small. That’s what this next decade is about.”[…]
He warned that business models will have to change from the old, traditional command and control style to a more open and collaborative one that will be enabled by Web 2.0 technologies, and he said this will be as much about how companies change their culture as their technology.” —Web 2.0 driving second Internet boom - Internet - News - ZDNet Asia

“Le interfacce adattative funzionano in modo molto simile: in base alla nostra interazione con esse, costruiscono una rappresentazione dei nostri gusti, interessi, conoscenze (o di cio’ che puo’ essere rilevante), e usano questa informazione per scegliere le informazioni da fornirci o come queste vengono presentate.”

“La pervasività della mediazione tecnologica e la morfologia reticolare dei rapporti sociali sono due fattori che innescano un ribaltamento logico e terminologico: accanto alla sfera della realtà virtuale, Castells ha integrato la propria visione con il riconoscimento dell’esistenza di una virtualità reale.”

“Social systems are not top-down, they are intrinsically net-centric. They favor informality over formality. Social systems also tend to shift some degree of power from core institutions to the edge (individual people). Social systems help improve the “lateralness” of an organization - enabling more sideways motion across stove-pipes and hierarchies. Finally, social systems help organizations better catalyze “emergence” within their environments by allowing “patterns and structure inherent in people’s interactions become visible” (according to professor Andrew McAfee).”

“over the years copyright has mutated from something that was supposed to encourage art by guaranteeing a limited profit for artists, into something that corporations use to control the supply of art, music and ideas—long after the artists have passed away.”
