DISQUS

And in the background: 2500+ tweeters have found that none of their tweets make it to the search engines [1], FreeNode has blocked [Mibbit] (the web-based IRC client), and the kidz who got opped in #iran #iranelection and #irantech are banning individuals who don't please them.

Some of us believe that democracy is a clumsy step ... rule of law and all that ... the real prize is social justice, and that means freedom from abuse in daily life.

Venceremos!

Yaaa, sorry you should be. No excuse for making a mistake now and then. *snort*

cheers

p.s. you must be a "Mother of All Wikis" fan? see http://ringading.ning.com/ *giggle* Cojones, naming it that.
I'll send you an invite ... won't hurt my cred a bit, that.

Where's the beef? ;-)
The video shows up fine in your 4MAR "Graphing Social Patterns talk on MyBlogLog API" but not here.
Is it just me? (FF2.0.0.12)

Soooo happy to see a ray of sunlight dapple technorati's scenario ... I can't think of another site I'm so partial to.

"Keep pedalling guys, keep pedalling!"

*No comments yet? That always makes me edgy ... like I've walked into a Cathedral.*

HiYa -
Somewhere in your posts I commented about the confound between UserName and ID by integer ... and felt pretty self-concious about that ... but I just read something that tells me I'm not a lunatic:
in the Flikr interface example in "Hypermedia in RESTful applications" Mark Baker points to the exchange required to get contact info ... that's what I was mumbling about. ("Mumbling" because I code, but am not a programmer.)

"A hypermedia solution would have used standardized identifiers - URIs, for the Web - instead of proprietary ones, thereby avoiding the need for Flickr-proprietary knowledge for a client to go from a document with a list of people, to a document about one of those people."

I'm not suggesting what's being done is /wrong/ ... just that it isn't using the resources ?what? artfully.

cheers

I can integrate the shiet outta this.
!j/k

Factiva, Gale, and Lexis-Nexis ... that's too constrained a set.
Ponder: who's big on discoverability?

Is the flip-side of my "participatory deliberation". (Google that ... my prime site was #1 last I peeked.)

How'bout I send you a nice hand-written card ... how long for snail mail to you from central AB?

p.s. I adjusted my WebSite to my venerable old lashup

W000t!

Contact Leo Sauermann, he of the EverythingYourDeskAlways (my words, actually) ... NEPOMuk or whatevuh, from *ponders* DKFI.
I met him through a post by him after *gasp!* during BurningMan ?which? prolly '06 ... I'd been watching pics from a guy who had his Cesna down there, and mebbe Leo left a comment. I clicked and *klik* yaa, DataPortability ... XML-RPC/Ajax/XHR ... JSON? Sure ... take the data and run; a service ... OhShiet I wanted to add "Flares" to DoS on WikiPedia (I created RateBasedInstrusionProtection last night. Got totally side-tracked. Thanks for the talk-in.)

K ...
... that.

Contact Leo, he's a great egg.
All continental sophistication.
Hey! Get him to give you a tour of CERN next time you're EU-bound!

"Will it affect the content? I hope it will! I expect that as we hire more people"

Pretty much sums it up. Web as commodity. More = $$$ = better.

Woa up now, it's you who writes in such stark terms. Maybe you're that simplistic (I doubt it), or maybe you realize that's the only way to dance along the fence (worse).
In any case, I can assure you that those of us who spent long hours deliberating the effect of $$$ on the quality of volunteer engagement (circa '75) salute you. I can't assure you it's a salute of respect.

New millenium slogan: from those to whom much is given can be expected the most grave contempt.

"Meh" hardly captures the sentiment.

I often find myself wondering where you're coming from ... so thanks for "Dealing with continual partial attention is a skill that psychologists and other mental health professionals will be studying for years. I’m learning that it does destroy productivity, which ...", that gives me something like an existential to work with.

BTW: yesterday on twitter I went on for a bit thusly:
"'Polyphasic' is far more than just a peculiar sleep pattern. It's got everything to do with not becoming en-thralled with the 'now', but it is notRPTnot a state of ADHD, far from it. It's more related to the way dynamically balanced systems digest entropy, i.e. it's fractal."

So, in that spirit, have an outrageously glorious / fractal 2008!

Right ... getting it on WordPress.com ... but maybe that's precipitous.

You've seen IntenseDebate, yes? For whatever reason (Call me perverse; it wouldn't be the first time), even though ID has such high production values, I lean towards DisqUs.

Which doesn't address the real problematic. And that, for me, is the creation of a new set of informations silos.

Shared comments? Great ... I'm on ID, say. I certainly wouldn't be the only one. And you're on DisqUs, say. And likewise, you wouldn't be alone there. Then there's our friends that are using CoComment ...

I don't just talk about my "discourse-based document portal" because I'm a fanatic with regards to "participatory deliberation"; I see the need for something more fundamental, more foundational, more elemental ... is why I veered away from concept mapping so many years ago. (My "Many2Many is only a shell right now; I know what happens to voices from the wilderness: they get swamped by voices that are acknowledged as marketers.)

Glasperlenspiel, anyone?

*What I was writing originally triggered such profound proprietary instincts in me that those waves caused FF1.5 to lock up hard and I had to abort. Not j/k!*

W=Q/V ... what something is worth depends on how much of it there is and how fast it's moving, did I recall my Economics 12?

Cognitive ergonomics: there's no way I'm going to put up with being pained repeatedly and frequently ... unless there's a payoff. (Cost/benefit, yes?) If each of a long series of teeny actions bothered us a teeny little bit then we'd prolly be really futzy and reactionary. *looks around* Yaa, like this.

Pleasure is Web2.0; elegant, responsive ... and intelligent.

I doubt that "rivers" and "folders" are actually orthogonal, strcitly speaking ... but dang near!

*It's paradigmatic, my dear Watson!*
