Le gal Services + Social Networking.... Posted Feb 27, 2004, 12:17 PM ET by Judith Meskill

Demir Barlas writes that Miller & Chevalier, a Washington, D.C. law firm, has installed Interface Software’s Social Networking system to connect their ~120 lawyers and professionals. Not likely bedfellows but the utilization of Interface’s solution has, according to Sturgis Sobin, chairman of the international department of Miller & Chevalier, created new business: “In the past year, we’ve had a couple of instances where the software identified an existing relationship we’d never have been aware of otherwise,” says Sobin. “One of those engagements generated more than a million dollars in new business.” A most practical application of Social Networking Services [The Social Software Weblog]

Yet another example of social networking as a feature, not a stand alone market.  Maybe eventually hopefully like soon enough some day folks will stop trying to ask "how do you make money from social networking" and instead will say "what can I use social networking for?"

In other words - as danah likes to say - What's the Context?

[about.CoBrA]

Context Broker Architecture (CoBrA) is an agent based architecture for supporting context-aware systems in smart spaces (e.g., intelligent meeting rooms, smart homes, and smart vehicles). Central to this architecture is an intelligent agent called context broker that maintains a shared model of context on the behalf of a community of agents, services, and devices in the space and provides privacy protections for the users in the space by enforcing the policy rules that they define. Key differences between CoBrA and other similar architectures are the following: CoBrA uses the Web Ontology Language OWL, a W3C Semantic Web standard, to define ontologies of context (people, agents, devices, events, time, space, etc.). In other systems, context is often implemented as programming language objects (e.g., Java classes), lacking the expressive power to support context reasoning and high-level knowledge sharing. CoBrA provides a resource-rich context broker to maintain a shared model of context for all computing entities in an associated space. In other systems, individual entities are usually required to manage their own contextual knowledge. CoBrA allows the users to define privacy policy to control the sharing and the use of their situational information (e.g., where they are, who they are with, what they are doing). In other systems, the computing entities are usually free to share any acquired situational information of a user. Figure 1 shows an overview architecture diagram of CoBrA. For more information, please see the documents listed in the paper section.

Carriers should be context providers

Carriers should be context providers 03/06/2004 01:56 AM

As the thought of paying $3500 for a month of gprs sinks in and I think about the speech I'm going to give at MILIA to the carriers and content providers in the audience, I'm thinking more and more about how I think it might be a bad idea for the carriers to get into the content business.

I think that as broadband becomes a standard part of households, more and more people will fill up their iPods and mobile devices with all the content they need from their flat-fee low-cost pipe. Most content isn't THAT time sensitive. I don't see any reason to have to download content on-the-go over expensive gprs when devices can talk wifi or bluetooth and have enough storage to allow you to carry content around.

The main value that always-on provides is presence information, short messages and time sensitive stuff like news. I don't really see the need to have broadband to do that. I think the carriers should focus their energies on stuff like identity, payment systems, IM and presence and leave the content business up to people who know how to move large volumes of bits around at low cost. The problem with most telephone companies is that they have spent their whole lives worrying about quality of service, but moving large volumes of data around is not about quality of service. You can afford to drop a few bits if they're not time sensitive and it's a completely different game than the circuit business.

I realize that 3G networks are supposed to provide us with a cheaper way to provide mobile broadband, but I just can't imagine the cost of all of the roaming deals, the metering systems and the BigCo overhead ever being able to compete with the simplicity of the Internet and wifi. I am not convinced that there is a market for broadband mobile content.

This may seem obvious to Internet folks, but I think the mobile operators are seriously considering broadband content over mobile phone networks as "the next big thing".

Stowe raps it out - "it's about the
Context of SNS!" 06/22/2005 02:41 AM

Stowe Boyd has an excellent rap on "Social Networks: Boring, Broken or off-track?".

He points out that many people feel that keeping their profiles up to date is tedious and boring at best and that big players like 6A should start building SNS features into their blog tools.

I hope most people know how MySpace got there:

- by focusing on music
- by throwing Raves and parties
- by providing lots of coolio, compelling activities for mating kids to keep themselves busy.

But be clear - MySpace is a dating site. Everything that Jonathan Abrams wanted Friendster to be - MySpace is. But that's a fairly limited context - for the rest of us.

Social Networking systems need to apply themselves to niche targeted audiences. That's where they'll monetize.

Putting identity into context

Putting identity into context 06/17/2005 04:49 PM
Last week's newsletter about context ("Explaining the importance of context in ID mgmt.") elicited responses from a number of readers. A few readers - especially those who disagreed - appear to have a different definition of context. That's not really surprising, as some people whose job is designing identity architectures and services also appear to have a different definition than mine. I'd like to use an example that one reader submitted (Thanks, Paul) to try to further explain this. The example:

1UP: putting social networking into

1UP: putting social networking into
context 07/03/2004 01:29 PM

I've waited a few days for it to settle - but it looks like the world's first digital lifestyle aggregator is live! It's called 1UP.com - and put out by Ziff-Davis Media.

Yes - THAT Ziff-Davis. After selling off their on-line properties to CNet (including Dan Farber and the ZDNet crowd) - Ziff-Davis is back in the on-line business in a big way.

They appraoched me in December (thanks to Geoff Workman) to help them build a killer, no holds barred, get a lot of attention and go out on a limb - cutting edge system - which would combine social networking, personal publishing and what ended up to be 26 portal front-doors.

The site is about gamers and gaming.

It puts social networking into a context of gamers by matching them up to each other - based upon what games they own, what games they want to play and even matches wish-trade lists.

There are some NEW things for social networkers - like a PeoplePlace - that feature both People and Club 'pings' and a nice Facewall search results screen. Gamers can search for folks via name, location, games, interests, age or game genre - or any combination.

There's all sorts of folks coming to the site - from wunderkid editors and gamerdudes to grannie gamers and metro sexual gamers.]

There's an 11,000 game database built in, and your typical game portal features - like cheats, downloads, reviews, top 10 lists, news - blah blah blah - the list of features goes on and on.

I'm having fun with customers - creating custom clubs, special promos and eventually new kinds of tournaments. We created allot in four-five months, so we're not done yet, but you can expect this system to support RSS, FOAF, OpenReviews and every other new format coming out representing new kinds of micro-content and communications.

This will be THE site that all the other gaming sites will copy in the next 12 months. In the mean time - there's plenty of other ways of positioning DLAs - into web services, content, on-line communities and all sorts of brands.

Hardware and software companies will ALL offer DLAs within five years - so the only question is: "who comes first?" In each sector DLAs will change the playing field - making it possible for after-market revenues, viral marketing and sticky happy customers.

So now all my ranting and raving may make sense.

Gamers review games, like to buy things and certainly want to interact with each others. Watch for a traveling roadshow to connect cyberspace to meatspace "meet your cyber buddy at the Cow Palace!"

Gamers are blogers now, have lots of friends and are joing Clubs in droves. Oh yah - for every action a gamer does, he/she gets points - which are then used for contests and to redeem objects.

So the next time someone asks "what's a DLA" - you just tell them - 1UP.com.

So what's YOUR context? Been wondering how ot make sense of social networking and personal publishing? Let Broadband Mechanics get you there.

We plan on building lots of these DLAs over the next five years - before we get bought out. Apple and Microsoft are doing it - so should YOU! So we're open for business - interested parties inquire here.

BTW - in case you're wondering - I'm "TheMacroMind".

Bryn Keller is right, my previous post needs a bit more explanation. The point Sean McGrath was making is that a number is as good as meaningless without context. XML nicely provides this context. I want to translate that to programming. The importance of context for data structures in a datafile is probably more obvious than context for data structures in a program. ?

The cultural context of money in Japan

The cultural context of money in Japan 01/08/2004 07:57 PM

I'm going to reply to some of the comments on the items, but I thought I'd post this thought I had this morning in the context of the discussion about dichotomies and money/privilege.

It is interesting to note that 90% of people interviewed in the US think that people around them respect entrepreneurs while only 10% of people interviewed felt the same way about entrepreneurs. The culture of the US was build during a primarily industrial revolution oriented social backdrop. Japan, however, built a great deal of its culture during the backdrop of an agrarian society.

The traditional caste system in Japan had the Emperor at the top, and the nobles next, then the warrior/samuri, then the clergy, then the artisans and farmers and below them came the merchants and tradesmen. Money was considered a zero-sum game, the people involved not being considered to be contributing a great deal of value to society. Farmers and artisans were clearly working and producers in the community. During the hundreds of years of peace in Japan, the nobility, the warrior class and the clergy played the role of the intellectual and the cultural class.

My mother, who was raised in a privileged family was not allowed to touch money until she was 18. She has a servant who took care of the payments. In Kyoto, I don't pay cash at many of the places I go, it is discreetly billed to me later. During the Edo period an interesting shift happened. The wars stopped and the warrior class had less to do. Culture blossomed as did trade. The merchant class gained power and helped drive the economy of Japan, but they were not rewarded with the same kind of cultural/social status that their American counterparts were. This stigma about being rich, making money and having financial power survives in Japan today and is in fact one of the big reasons that Japan continues to have structural problems and entrepreneurship is so weak.

The other notable point is that those who traditionally wielded power have lost their power. The nobles lost most of their money either during the Edo period or during the War. (Our family lost its property during the Meiji Restoration, lost its factories during the war, lost its money from giving all of the money to the war in the form of war bonds and gifts, lost its swords and family heirlooms to the US occupation forces, and finally lost just about everything under the current tax system that is basically designed to eliminate family wealth within a few generations. All that was left by the time I got there was our foolish pride.) The current ruling political party of Japan was funded by the Japanese gangster and the CIA in an effort to stomp out the left-wing and the ethics of those in power have become twisted caricatures of the original traditions.

One important Japanese businessman once told me. Power in Japan is not about having money yourself. It is about having the influence to move money.

Disclaimer: I am not supporting or condoning the Japanese here, but making a generalization and an observation about role of money in society which contrasts with what American's might believe.

Weird context shifts caused by IM on
hiptops...

Weird context shifts caused by IM on
hiptops... 12/22/2004 01:40 AM

I'm having a crisis of etiquette caused by what I believe to be bad user interface design. Basically it works like this. I look at my iChat buddy list (to the right) and I see a big list of people who are 'green' (indicating availability), 'orange' (indicating absence or idle-ness) or 'red' (indicating explicitly 'away', but still contactable if necessary).

Now my expectation of people on my iChat list is that if they are green they are currently using their computer at this precise moment. They're actually looking at the screen. Which means that a ping to them should be incredibly unobtrusive but noticeable and should involve the absolute least number of keystrokes / interactions to be able to tell someone you're busy and/or start a conversation with them. Actually, iChat doesn't really handle that totally brilliantly in a range of ways, but the aspiration should remain. The ping should be non-invasive but immediately cognitively recognisable, and a response should be as simple as possible. It is with the understanding that the recipient's experience will be something like this that we are able to ping our friends or colleagues without feeling like we're being necessarily rude.

Except that this presumptive understanding of the experience of the person at the other end of the connection is starting to deteriorate. At least three or four of the people I have on my IM list are now accessing their IM via their hiptops. This changes the experience immediately - firstly because the recipient is now not necessarily engaged in a looking-at-a-screen-like activity. They could be walking in a fish market. They could be chatting to their mother on a phone. They could be driving a car. Secondly in order for them to react to the messages they're receiving they have to physically move the device to a place where they can focus upon it. The casual ping is immediately an intrusive one. And then - of course - they have to find a way to respond to the ping - either by using slow phone-style or fold-out keyboards, or by changing their presence. None of these actions are simple or quick enough to make the experience of using a hip-top and responding to messages on a hip-top comparable with responding via a computer keyboard.

All of which would be fine if it wasn't potentially difficult to distinguish between a person being rudely invasive and a device that encourages potentially invasive attempts at social intercourse... And if it wasn't - in turn - difficult for the person sending a message to distinguish between a long silence that resembles some kind of 'shunning' activity and a long silence that is merely a consequence of circumstances or the difficulties in getting to your messaging. On both sides there are social problems that emerge because the behaviour of the interfaces is confused with the behaviour of the people at either end - the software/interface actually makes the person at the other end seem rude - and purely because there is a disparity between the social engagement one thinks one is engaging in and the consequence it might have.

The software attempts to compensate for this a little bit. Most of my friends that are using hip-tops use some kind of status message to convey that they are mobile - which would work more effectively if you couldn't easily hide the status message to free up screen real-estate. In the meantime, the signifiers that actually tell you that someone is online completely overpower the signals that indicate their mobility.

So what's the solution? Well ideally - since you're looking at another form of engagement you'd distinguish it from the more conventional uses for IM. A separate scrollable container at the bottom of the screen or another buddy-list (a la the Rendezvous window) would compensate for some of these impediments - although probably at the cost of adding in more complexity. Probably the simplest solution would just be to revisit the particular presence indicators. In iChat then there might be two options: firstly an improvement of the portable devices to accurately reflect 'available' and 'idle', and secondly the creation of a new form of presence to go alongside 'available', 'idle' and 'busy'. Either would be a useful corrective feature which could alleviate the social clumsiness of mobile IM.

Do other people have experiences like these? And if so, how do you resolve them? Do you leave it to social convention to work through problems like these, or is a simple UI or technological solution more simple? Any and all thoughts gratefully received...

Nelson Minar rages against the dying of design, in his summary of a discussion with Cory Doctorow around using smart quotes and other typographic niceties in weblogs.

I want to use fancy Unicode characters like U+201C and U+201D ("smart quotes") in my blog. Cory hates that idea because non-ASCII characters behave badly when you paste them into your email or text editor and that they don't work well in RSS.

The underlying problem is an impedence mismatch between new Unicode oriented tech like the Web and XML and old ASCII oriented tech like email and text editors. Browsers and RSS readers should mediate between the two but software often gets it wrong.

This discussion continues a conversation on the SmartyPants plug-in I hacked together for Blosxom.

While compromising design for the sake of compensation for badly integrated technologies and encodings is not on in my book, some allowance must be made for the simple copy-n-paste. To that end, I've added a plainlink (txt) to my template alongside the permalink. This link leads to an utterly plain text (non-smarty) version of the story at hand.

Quotes of the week 06/05/2005 11:20 PM
Talk of Steve Jobs has been rampant over the past week in the technology world. Here are a few of the most interesting quotes about Steve Jobs, Apple and Apple products recently found around the web. "The world would soon learn that Jobs wasn’t just joining the revolution; he was about to reshape it." - Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon, The Times Online "iCon fails as biography. Maybe that's the real reason that Jobs, perfectionist that he is, won't let it be sold in his company's stores. It's not good enough." - Hiawatha Bray, The Boston Globe "If you haven't got a CPU at home worth writing about, then Steve Jobs has a real gem for you - and it's about the size of a shoe." - Brian Dukes, Up & Coming Weekly "Behind the euphoria generated by the iPod, the skills of its industrial designers and charisma of chief executive Steve Jobs, Apple is quietly burrowing into the enterprise, buoyed by the Unix base of its still relatively new operating system." - Garry Barker, Sydney Morning Herald "By obeying the terms of KHTML's open source license, Apple is upholding every ideal it was asked to uphold. If the KHTML team now feels there are still more ideals they'd like upheld, they should adjust their licensing terms." Neil  McAllister, Infoworld "More iPods are bargain-priced these days and could be cutting into sales of Apple's premium products. There is also no evidence that young iPod users will be any more interested in a Macintosh computer than anyone else is." - Andrew Leckey, Tribune Media Services columnist "I started playing with it, and I don't know, you get kind of hooked on Macs. They have an appeal that never leaves." - Jeremy Seftor, general manager of Capitol Mac, an Apple Computer Inc. reseller and service provider on West Main Street in Richmond

Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator

Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator 12/24/2004 12:58 PM

• RSS: a Shift, from What...to What?
  "He also neatly sort of answers his own question - with greater precision than I can ever muster - by saying: 'If I visit houses of content, as I seem to do on the Web, that is very different than the content as “visitor” to my house.'... What we’re seeing is the creation of personalised information hypermarkets.... Over time, you develop a rich cocktail of sources and you develop a new habit for browsing information. Some things you look at hourly, some daily, and some you deliberately save till Friday pm for a catch up. This is light years away from sitting down at the table in the morning looking at your paper, or even your paper’s website.”
   
• RSS and Blog Directories
  "Inspired by The Media Drop's list of newspaper RSS feeds, I thought I'd compile a list of RSS directories. Enjoy and spread the link."
   
• Newsmap as a Model for Smart Aggregation
  "Information overload. It’s the next big issue in publishing, and technology in general. The day you have 400 e-mails in your inbox, 900 new items in your RSS aggregator, and 8 Instant Messenger windows on your screen will come. For some people, it’s already here.... The key to our information gathering lives is all about smart aggregation. The days of media companies deciding what’s on your 'front page' are numbered. Within five years, I believe customizable newsreader technology (whether client-side like Net News Wire, or server-side like Bloglines), will be as prevalent as the web is right now."
   
• 500 down, 3061 to go
  "At the beginning of this week I had 310 feeds showing around 25,000 unread posts. I had toyed with the idea of declaring RSS bankruptcy and just starting again, but I was getting increasingly unhappy with chaotic state of my feeds and deep down I knew that hitting 'mark all posts read' would do nothing to solve the problem in the long run."

Choice SxSW quotes

Choice SxSW quotes 03/19/2005 02:35 AM

My American adventure is ongoing; I'm still in Austin at the moment, but I'll be off to Washington D.C. in a few days and there's a small chance I'll get there via Dallas. This doesn't leave much opportunity for online shenanigans, but there were a few things from SxSW that really needed a mention. The conference, as ever, was awesome - if not for the panels then certainly for the socialising. If anything I stretched myself too thin this year trying to keep up with the Brit Pack, the WaSP crew, some ex-colleagues from Lawrence and the people I met in San Francisco back in May.

I met a lot of new people this year as well. Since David Nunez had pointed out that "what do you do?" was a bit of a dull opening question (not to mention a conversation killer for people who dislike their job) I stuck with "So what are you excited about?" instead. It worked pretty well - I got a whole bunch of great answers, with the most random probably coming from the guy who was excited about mopeds (it turned out he runs the world's number one moped site).

The most entertaining panel by far was the Home Star Runner one, in which the Brothers Chaps finally revealed the secret to their animation success: motion capture! I'll have to post a few pictures once I get back on a high speed 'net connection; suffice to say the constant laughter from the room was heard throughout the convention center.

Anyway, on to the quotes. The first two are from Jacob Kaplan-Moss:

PHP is like a beautiful woman... with syphilis

Maintaining badly written code is like trying to solve a crossword puzzle set by someone who can't spell

I also like this one from Jeremy Dunck, who was justifying sharing your ideas with people at the conference despite the risk of other people implementing them first:

It's like the lazyweb in meatspace

The credit for the last one goes (I think) to Yvonne Adams, who made the sage observation that:

South by South West is spring break for web geeks

It certainly is. See you all again next year!
