Edo-period monster paintings by Sawaki Suushi

In the sophisticated popular culture of the Edo period (1603-1868), much attention was devoted to Japan’s rich pantheon of traditional monsters and apparitions, known as youkai. Sometimes frightening, sometimes humorous, these compelling Japanese folk creatures were the subject of numerous artistic and literary works. One such work was Hyakkai Zukkan, a collection of picture scrolls completed in 1737 by Sawaki Suushi, a relatively unknown artist who studied under master painter Hanabusa Itchou (1702-1772). Hyakkai Zukkan’s colorful depictions of Japan’s most notorious creatures inspired (and were copied by) youkai artists for generations.

Learning and Knowing in Networks: Changing roles for Educators and Designers. by George Siemens

Current developments with technology and social software are significantly altering:
(a) how learners access information and knowledge, and (b) how learners dialogue with the instructor and each other.

Both of these domains (access and interaction) have previously been largely under the control of the teacher or instructor.

The Stanford Facebook Class: Creating Engaging Facebook Apps

The Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab creates insight into how computing products — from websites to mobile phone software — can be designed to change what people believe and what they do. For that reason, we’re studying Facebook — it’s highly persuasive.

Social Networks als natürliche Monopole?

Für diejenigen mittelgroßen europäischen Networks, die zur Champions League gehören wollen (Beispiel XING), wäre eine solche Genossenschafts-Lösung die einzig gangbare Lösung. Beispiele finden sich etwa bei Verbundgruppen des Handels. Denkbar wäre eine Dachorganisation, die gemeinsame Standards entwickelt und/oder über deren Adoption entscheidet. Auch eine Open-Source-Variante wäre denkbar, dies würde jedoch die Social Networks insgesamt schwächen und Google stärken. Strategische Partnerschaften scheinen sich also ebenfalls anzubahnen.

The Four Viral App Objectives (a.k.a., “Social network application virality 101″)

The Four Viral App Objectives

• Increase the percentage of “active hosts” who actively make contact with uninfected people
• Increase the contact rate for each active host (average number of contacts per time period)
• Increase the duration of each active host’s infectious time period
• Increase the likelihood that contacts turn into infections (i.e., infection conversion)

Orange / France Telecom release OpenID Service

Ariel Gordon and Aude Pichelin from France Telecom (FT) yesterday announced at the 6th Digital ID World in San Francisco release of an OpenID service to their 40 million subscribers. Congratulations to the OpenID community for this big success. It is not surprising that it is FT with it´s Orange brand being the first company running an internet scale OpenID service. On the one hand, it´s a smart company. They strongly contributed to the emergence of the SAML standard and pushed IBM into the Liberty Alliance some 3 years ago. On the other hand, if there is any industry which can make a business out of running OpenID services, it´s the telcos, because they are wired right through to our purses.

Reuters CEO sees "semantic web" in its future

A huge part of the generational change is a change in expectations of transparency, informality, and sources of authority. So when Devin says that Google isn't terribly useful for professional uses like financial research, I think he misses just how much authority bloggers are getting as reliable news sources, and how people are using tools like iGoogle to pull together targeted RSS data feeds. Raw Google results may be less useful than Reuters-filtered results, but how about community or expert-curated Google results? Just as Reuters' customers are adding value to the Reuters data stream, they are capable of adding value to the Google data stream. And there are increasingly powerful tools for managing that stream.

The most important thing to understand about new products and startups

If you ask entrepreneurs or VCs which of team, product, or market is most important, many will say team.
...
Personally, I'll take the third position -- I'll assert that market is the most important factor in a startup's success or failure.
