Adding value to social networks- Doing what comes naturally!

Bradley Horowitz is head of the Yahoo Search Marketplace technology group - and his analysis of the phenomenon of user-generated content ala flickr is brilliant.

His point "social software sites don’t require 100% active participation to generate great value."

How could I have missed RageBoy for so long

This is Chris Locke's(AKA RageBoy) using Bookpedia.. His blog is done in pure Thoughts Illustrated style and I am really glad to discover it.


chris says: "It's not often that software blows my mind, but the app I'm about to describe just did just that. I should warn you at the outset, however, that Bookpedia runs only under Mac OS X, and the barcode scanning feature (as described here anyway) requires an iSight cam -- either built-in or standalone. So if you're as much a book freak as I am, but you're using a PC, this is only going to make you drool. Sorry."

Malcolm's back - a conversation

Sadly, I can't do that kind of visual representation in my New Yorker writing, and I haven't tried in my books. But it's definitely something I want to pursue in the future.

Dave Pollard is at it again . In this post on the use of graphics in gaining attention for his blog post, there is an interesting recursion - I get grabbed by his graphic, read the post and then grab the graphic to link to his blogpost. Pretty effective way to get the conversation going!

I used flickr for this post, the previous one was uploaded directly into blogger.

Perhaps this is where the audio/vlog component should start.

Your graphic caught my attention

Dave Pollard is at it again. Attention grabbing graphics are a primary reason that I continue to follow Dave's rather verbose blog - his pictures grab my attention - and I am seduced into reading further. This post graphic led me to read the detail supporting his 2X2 "take" on Attention vs. Meaning.

Paul Saffo: Innovation is being good at failure | GoingOn Home

Vision of the Valley - Paul Saffo: Innovation is being good at failure | GoingOn Home

In this video Paul describes Silicon Valley's culture of innovation and admonishes innovators to study failure to learn and grow the "next big thing".

This blog post is hosted by GoingOn Network - a platform I need to explore:
1. it incorporates video like this example
2. It is designed for multiple bloggers hosted under one media brand - following Dave Pollard's "blog-hosted conversations" concept.

A photomosaic Powers of 10 - from Getty Images

10 ways: "From its content to its visual components, a photograph is filled with information. Choose a point on an image and delve deeper into it, linking one idea to another in a never-ending chain."

Try the "information" demo and you'll be intrigued as the zoom "box" takes you deeper into a mosaic of thousands of color images.

On the same site, launch the demo of lightand experience a photomosaic of light and shadow and the eerie, yet powerful gradual sharpening of resolution as an image chosen from the thousands that make up the 3D object and its lighting source "dissolves" into crystal clarity.

There's enough in these two demos to prove that " A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS" taken to the "next level" with a Powers of 10 visualization "platform".

Finding my voice...

I have resisted the inclusion of video clips in the blog until today, when prompted by a link from Robert Scoble (scroll down to see the link trail) I experienced the value of short, well produced and meaningful videos in meriting the attention of blog readers.

This discursion has recalled my recent postThoughts Illustrated: ChangeThis :: How To Be Creative and caused me to ponder about finding the right "voice" . As Hugh MacLeod says in this ChangeThis manifesto on creativity " Part of being a Master is learning how to sing in nobody else's voice but your own."

... and, MacLeod's very pointed sketch about blogging shown at the head of that post makes his point even more telling.

...and, prods me to consider Dave Pollard's diagrammatic taskonomy "Why I Blog?" How to Save the World . Dave spends an enormous amount of time and energy and intellect in modulating his voice - and reading him has offered me a window into how he is attempting to deal with the complexity of our world.

Inspired by Dave's very visual approach to blogging, I started this blog back in April to explore the power of audiovisual storytelling to augment Doug Kaye's growing archive of speech recordings on the Conversations Network.

Along the way Dave also introduced me to Umair Haque's Bubblegeneration Strategy Lab and Haque's most lucid explanation of the business of NewMedia. According to Haque, what I am attempting to do is to act as a reconstructor.

......and, just what is the voice of a reconstructor? - we'll see!

Choices - An inspiring short video

Helen Barrett, a digital storyteller, recounts how her 7th grade memorization of a popular Robert Frost poem informed her choices throughout life. Includes a rare audio recitation by Frost himself. As Helen says, "taking the road less travelled by .....made all the difference."

StoryCorps - Listen

In conjunction with the Library of Congress, StoryCorps records short vignettes of ordinary Americans and now has archived over 7000 recordings. Nowadays we'd call them podcasts.

Worth a listen.

Wired Cities - and the death of paper biz mags

http://www.forbes.com/2006/08/30/wireless-wired-broadband_cx_df_0831wiredcities.html

This map at the Forbes.com site will lead you to a slide show picturing the top 30 cities in Forbes' survey of wired cities.

The "liveliness" of the Forbes.com site provides a strong illustration of the difference between Forbes online and the paper version of the magazine. A great example of how printed business magazines are dying, and how Forbes is innovating to retain subscribers and offer advertisers more qualified reader attention than could ever be captured by the paper magazine.
