Sign of Times: Sun’s Chief Executive Tweets His Resignation

February 6th, 2010 admin No comments

Twitter has became a medium to getting in touch with world mood (some trending topics: iPad, Valentine’s Day, Haiti ).
It was used on Iran’s protest, Google integrated it on search results, and now, maybe for the first time, it’s used for resignation.
Jonathan Schwartz wrote about his resignation on his twitter account:

“Financial crisis/Stalled too many customers/CEO no more,” Mr. Schwartz wrote.

The Future Internet Portal an European Union initiative

January 15th, 2010 admin No comments

The video outlines the basic themes of the European Union’s Future Internet initiative. These include: an Internet of Services, where services are ubiquitous; an Internet of Things where in principle every physical object becomes an online addressable resource; a Mobile Internet where 24/7 seamless connectivity over multiple devices is the norm; and the need for semantics in order to meet the challenges presented by the dramatic increase in the scale of content and users.

Web Squared: internet + crowd = SocialSphere

September 29th, 2009 admin No comments

Web Squared: 20-22 October Web 2.0 Summit, San Francisco CA.

The web is not just a bunch of html/php/ruby/python/asp pages

The web is becoming part of our life.

It is not simply the popularity of Web 2.0 offerings that accounts for this increase, though the hockey stick growth of platforms like Twitter and Facebook is certainly dramatic. There’s also a qualitative change happening as the Web becomes more closely integrated with the real world via sensor-based smart phone applications. Web Squared is another way of saying “Web meets World.”

The scale, nature and speed of the data change what we mean by collective intelligence. Consider the obvious use case: internet-connected GPS applications that have built-in feedback loops, reporting your speed and using it to estimate your arrival time based on its knowledge of traffic ahead of you.
