Reputation systems academic paper

Reputation systems academic paper 07/19/2004 11:47 AM
The current issue of First Monday has a thorough academic article on reputation systems.

The sharing of observations and opinions builds up a picture in each person’s mind of the reputation’s subject, which we might call the "Invisible Eye" — the distributed formation of reputations, and consequent increased ability to distinguish better from worse. To the degree that you have access to and trust the experience of others, it is almost as if you yourself had been there watching that previous situation, thus increasing your base of experience from which to judge future reliability — and increasing pressure on the subject in question to behave responsibly. The analogy to Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand is not accidental; just as selfish local actions with market incentives can lead to collectively efficient behavior, locally maximizing actions with reputation incentives have the potential for similar guided emergent behavior that exceeds what might have been designed by a conscious planner.

The ultimate aim is to increase the level of collective wisdom through sharing our separate experience and expertise. This will enable a "division of experience" — instead of each of us personally suffering through scams, cheats, and mediocrity, we will be able to leverage each other’s experiences. Collectively, aided by astutely networked reputation systems, we stand the best chance of overcoming our dark side and bringing out the best in us.

Selling Academic Edition Software

Selling Academic Edition Software 07/15/2004 07:01 PM

I'm trying to find a good deal on Dreamweaver MX 2004, since I don't want to drop $400 on it (I'm cheap). I head over to eBay to see what I can find, and see lots of dealls for $200 - $300.

However, every single one of these deals is for the academic version of the product — the one where students and educators can use it at a reduced price. I emailed one of the guys to ask how he knew I was a student. His response:

I don't know and I don't care. That's between you and Macromedia.

Nice. This must be a huge problem for software companies, because there's a lively business going on selling academic versions as the "real" thing. Since there's nothing but the honor system standing between a buyer and some cheap software, I'm sure a lot of people suddenly become "students" for the 15 minutes it takes to make the purchase.

Being the stand-up guy I am, I passed. Anyone know where I can get it cheaper than $400?

Japan jails academic for writing P2P app

Japan jails academic for writing P2P app 05/10/2004 05:53 AM
A Japanese academic who wrote an anonymous P2P app has been arrested for "abetting infringement." This is the kind of perversion of justice we're accustomed to seeing in the US and Norway -- disappointing that the Japanese have so thoroughly bridged the copyright hysteria gap. The programmer faces three years in prison for writing code that allows for anonymous file-transfers. We can only hope that the team that led Microsoft's operating-system effort will be next, followed by the AppleShare team and the pesky authors of ftp.

Mr Isamu Kaneko, a 33-year-old assistant professor at the prestigious University of Tokyo, was arrested on suspicion of developing and offering free downloads on his Web site file-sharing software called Winny, Kyoto Prefectural (state) police said on condition of anonymity.

He is also accused of helping two Japanese men arrested in November on charges of disseminating movies and games on the Internet with Winny, police said.

The Academic Web Link Database Project
http://cybermetrics.wlv .ac.uk/database/

The Academic Web Link Database Project makes available databases of academic web links to the world research community. This project was created in response to the need for research into web links: including web link mining, and the creation of link metrics. It is aimed at providing the raw data and software for researchers to analyse link structures without having to rely upon commercial search engines, and without having to run their own web crawler. You may use all of the resources on this site for non-commercial reasons provided that you notify them if you have an academic paper or book published that uses the data in any way (so that they know the site is getting good use). This will be added to Academic Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide and Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Conference Alerts - Academic Conferences Worldwide
http://www.conferencealerts.co m/

Conference Alerts brings together two groups of people - conference organizers, and academics who need to stay informed about conferences. They work with both small first-time conference organizers and established professional societies to ensure that notification of their conferences reach specifically interested parties. Both individual academics and a wide range of 'knowledge brokers' - such as journal editors, web site administrators and discussion list moderators - rely on our searchable online database and on Conference Alerts Monthly to remain informed about upcoming academic and professional events. They are based in South Africa, but operate as a global organization maintaining an extensive, constantly updated database of conferences and subscribers all over the world. Their internet-based automated process enable them to provide this service at no cost to subscribers and at no cost (for a basic listing) or at a nominal fee (for the Featured Event service) to conference organizers. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer Information Blog. This will be added to Academic Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.

Academic essay on ShitBegone toilet
paper and postmodernism

Academic essay on ShitBegone toilet
paper and postmodernism 04/22/2004 01:21 PM
Surprisingly readable academic paper with more information about ShitBegone toilet paper (which I blogged previously).

[Jed] Ela did the reverse of DuChamp: he exhibited a single role of a toilet paper he had thought of as a joke, called ‘Shitbegone’.  The exhibit was a great success, and Ela realised he could actually make money by mass-producing Shitbegone and selling it in stores.  What differentiates this from the sale of other artistic reproductions is that Ela markets Shitbegone as toilet paper, not as art: he sells it by the case (“96 double rolls for $44.99. That's 47 cents per roll!”).  What started as something like Warhol’s soup cases turns into an idiosyncratic case of the product development and marketing of a basic essential commodity.
