[This is an edited version of the talk I gave last fall at the State of Play conference.] I'm sort of odd-man-out in a Games and Law conference, in that my primary area of inquiry isn't games but social software. Not only am I not a lawyer, I don't even spend most of my time thinking about game problems. I spend my time thinking about software that supports group interaction across a fairly wide range of social patterns. So, instead of working from case law out, which has been a theme here (and here's where I insert the "I am not a lawyer" disclaimer) I'm going to propose a thought experiment looking from the outside in. And I want to pick up on something that Julian [Dibbell] said earlier about game worlds: 'users are the state.' The thought experiment I want to propose is to agree with that sentiment, and to ask "How far can we go in that direction?" Instead of looking for the places where game users are currently suing or fighting one another, forcing the owners of various virtual worlds to deal with these things one crisis at a time, I want to ask the question "What would happen if we wanted to build a world where we maximized the amount of user control? What would that look like?" I'm going to make that argument in three pieces. First, I'm going to do a little background on group structure and the tension between the individual and the group. Then I want to contrast briefly governance in real and virtual worlds. Finally I want to propose a thought experiment on placing control of online spaces in the hands of the users. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/nomic.html

The Spot is back. The mid-nineties experiment in creating an online soap returns, telling the story of some new housemates via webdiaries, photographs and videos. You can see the original site via The Wayback Machine. I'm suddenly overtaken by a nostalgic glow.

Microsoft is now saying that the first wristwatches featuring its new Smart Personal Object Technology, which uses FM radio subcarrier frequencies to wirelessly deliver information like the weather, news, and stock quotes, is officially delayed for further testing and won't be ready until the first quarter of next year. The first SPOT watches were supposed to have been out this week, but apparently the situation is so bad now that Citizen, one of the companies making the watches, is saying that they might be cancelling their plans to sell a SPOT watch.

Can you spot the funny numbers?

Can you spot the funny numbers? 05/07/2004 12:16 PM
This article about SBC CEO Ed Whitacre's plea for telecom deregulation inadvertantly shows how the incumbent telcos manipulate fact to promote their anti-competition agenda:


So the FCC's wholesale rules cost 380,000 jobs, but fixing those rules would only bring back 90,000 of them?!  Other factors must  have caused all those layoffs. 

Beware studies purporting to quantify the economic effects of regulation, especially rules like those in telecom, which have only indirect effects on business decisions.  (As opposed, say, to pollution controls that require specific investments by factories.) 

How to spot a trendy logo

How to spot a trendy logo 01/24/2004 11:31 AM
Interesting piece on current trends in logo design (merging blobs, swooshes, pop-art finneals, the color green, wireframes, etc). Though it strikes me that, given my penchant for dinstinctiveness in logomarks that I would be liekley to use this as a crib-sheet for critiquing the logo-development undertaken by my design-firm: "Dude, a green wireframe swooshy pop-art blob? That is so played-out. I want the new-new." Or, as Ian McDonald put it in his brilliant novel, Out on Blue Six:

So I said, like, whazz new, I mean, like new new, not old new, yuh know, like last-week new, so she said, this yulp in the shop, "This is new," like she said, "Cheez, like everyone, but everyone's going to be wearing one next week," like, whazz a yulp know 'bout fashion? Anyway, I thought, well, maybeez sheez right, so, I got one, so I did like, whadyou think? Isn't it wheeeee! like. Isn't it the most? Meanasay, you not got fashion, you not got nothing!
