link: O'Reilly Media - Spreading the knowledge of technology innovators
This is the latest of a series of posts addressing questions regarding social technologies. Previous posts: The Evangelist Fallacy, Captivity of the Commons and The Digital Panopticon. These topics will be opened to live discussion in an upcoming webcast on May 27 with a special guest to be announced. In order to control a thing you must first classify a... Read more.
ZDNet reporter Tom Steinert-Threlkeld covered theTwitter Power Tips webcast with Tim O'Reilly, CEO and founder of O'Reilly Media, and Sarah Misltein. The two authors of The Twitter Book fielded questions from some of the 1080 attendees who tuned in to the online event from around the globe to learn more about effective twittering. During the webcast Tim observed, "It's very difficult to quantify the return on investment of Twitter, to an organization." Instead, as the ZDNet reporter noted, Tim takes a Nike stance on it: "Just use it." Read the ZDNet story now. And don't miss the slides from Twitter Power Tips webcast!
Over the last few years, traditional publishing has been moving closer to the web and learning a lot of lessons from blogs and wikis, in particular. Today we're happy to announce another small step in that direction: our first manuscript (Programming Scala) is now available for public reading and feedback as part of our Open Feedback Publishing System. The idea is simple: improve in-progress books by engaging the community in a collaborative dialog with the authors out in the open. Read more.
The past couple of weeks saw a flurry or articles debating the future of Linux on netbooks. A report in the Taipei Times on May 9th was picked up by LinuxToday but largely ignored by the tech press and the blogosphere. Stephen Lim, the General Manager of Taiwan based Linpus Technologies, made the surprising prediction that Linux will regain 50% market share from Windows on netbooks by next year. Read more.
This post is part three of a series raising questions about the mass adoption of social technologies. These posts will be opened to live discussion in an upcoming webcast on May 27. In 1785 utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham proposed architectural plans for the Panopticon, a prison Bentham described as "a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example." Its method was a circular grid of surveillance; the jailors housed in a central tower being provided a 360-degree view of the imprisoned. Prisoners would not be able to tell when a jailor was actually watching or not. The premise ran that under the possibility of total surveillance (you could be being observed at any moment of the waking day) the prisoners would self-regulate their behavior to conform to prison norms.

Today at Where 2.0 Tyler Bell, the Head of Yahoo's Geo Technologies Group, launched Placemaker (this link should be live at posting). Placemaker is a webservice that takes in text and returns the locations found within via either XML or enhanced GeoRSS. The locations Placemaker returns come in the form of WOEIDs (Radar post). You might be cautious about relying on Yahoo's ID system for your locations. To alleviate your fears Yahoo! is announcing the release of GeoPlanet Data, all of the WOEIDs available as a free download under Creative Commons in June. Woot! Read more.
The crowd at Where 2.0 was expecting an API announcement and Google delivered one. Lior Ron and Steve Lee announced their Maps Data API, a service for hosting geodata. As they describe it on the site: The Google Maps Data API allows client applications to view, store and update map data in the form of Google Data API feeds using a data model of features (placemarks, lines and shapes) and maps (collections of features).

It's All About The Customer — Andy Oram, an editor at O'Reilly Media, suggests various new ways businesses can take advantage of customers' innovations in a new O'Reilly Insights column on Forbes.com. "As customers annex new areas of practice and innovation, they will change the threshold where one can make money," writes Oram. "This will be stressful, as businesses have to stay on the run, but in return they will find themselves able to participate in whatever is exciting and creative in the productive sector." Check out O'Reilly Insights to read Oram's analysis.
I'm getting tired of reading about whether Alpha is a Google-killer. I've seen Stephen Wolfram's presentations a couple of times; he's quite careful to say that it isn't. There's a fundamental difference that many people out there are just missing. Google is a search engine. Alpha looks like a search engine, but it isn't; it's all about curated data, and the analysis of that data. What's the difference? Look at one simple query: "earth circumference". Read more.

So, you're implementing a new software system that requires user authentication and management? Personally, I'm tired of seeing web sites fail to include a number of basic elements in their user management schemes. These Laws for Authentication Systems should not be violated regardless of how important or unimportant security is for you. If you decide to write your own solution or pick a packaged solution, make sure that system does not violate these laws. Read more.
