on his hometown in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Instead, he

Picasa, which was already a Blogger partner. It's not a huge
surprise to see Google expanding their offerings in more of the portal

are going to be offered for people storing photos. Also, will people
now complain that Google is scanning your personal photos in order to

Folksonomy vs. Fauxonomy
Folksonomy vs. Fauxonomy
03/17/2005 03:28 AMWhen I first heard the word "Folksonomy" I was sure it was
fauxonomy. Everyone was kind of reeling at the neologism but
for me it sounded neat. Fauxonomy! Like a fake taxonomy! Or a false
one! Nice. I mean it's a hideous hideous neologism, but hey... When I
found out it was folksonomy I was a little disappointed, to be honest.
I mean it's a neat enough word, but somehow the sound is better than
the spelling, and the associated meanings are so different. Not that I
wouldn't rather someone came up with a nice properly international
Greek-derived word that everyone else could understand. But hey...
This post is coming from the Folksonomy panel at ETech 2005 and was
inspired by lots of people shouting at me on IRC to write this up as
quickly as possible. Whatchagonnado?

Mess
ETECH Notes: Folksonomy, or How I
Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the
Mess
03/17/2005 03:56 AMCory Doctorow:
Here are my notes from "
Fo
lksonomy, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Mess," a
conversation between Clay Shirky, Stewart "Flickr" Butterfield, Joshua
"Delicious" Schachter and Jimmy "Wikipedia" Wales at the O'Reilly
Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego. Folksonomy is the process
of letting users generate and apply their own tags to shared items
(such as blog-posts, encyclopedia entries, photos, links, lists or
interests, or what have you) and then discovering which tegs users
share with one another. Unlike previous ventures into this field, the
tags aren't "controlled" -- any user can invent one and any user can
apply them to anything, and yet it all
works.
Jimmy: We launched ours last summer after knowing we needed it for a
long time. For the first two weeks in English Wikipedia, it was a
madhouse with all kinds of categorization. The Germans were more
reserved but after a few weeks it caught on there. Eventually, because
people could adjust categories, it all settled down. We did it because
that's the Wikipedia way -- we never considered doing it any other
way.
Stewart: It's not really categorization on Flickr -- it's about
letting users remember. If I add the "Norma" tag to pix of my mom,
whose name is Norma, I don't think it goes into the Norma category.
The unfortunate thing about the term "folksonomy" is that it implies
that it's a replacement for categorization. People categorize things
by noting what they do or don't have: mammals have hair and live
babies; does it have property a? then it's a whatever.
Joshua: I was collecting 20,000 links in a text-file, and somewhere
along the way I started adding a hash mark and some text, so I could
e.g. grep out all the WiFi links and send them to a friend. Later I
built a Web version so I could send an URL to a friend, but it was
standalone. Eventually I made it massively multiplayer. The
interesting group behavior is the tagging that isn't categorization,
e.g., "To read" -- not a category, though it has a big group and a lot
of social and user context. People make tags for groups working
together, workflow in RSS -- that's what's most surprising.

Your New Phone Company Is The Cable
Company?
Your New Phone Company Is The Cable
Company?
05/03/2004 05:18 AMCable providers in the US took an early lead in the broadband market,
though they've lost a little ground lately due to cut rate prices for
DSL from the telcos. However, the cable providers are looking to pull
an ace out of their sleeve by promoting their ability to easily
provide the coveted "triple play" of voice, video and data through one
single company. Many cable providers have been able to do this for a
while, but they haven't spent much time promoting their phone service.
That's about to change. While the telcos are still struggling to
figure out their video strategy (TV over DSL? partner with a
satellite provider?), the cable companies are getting ready to
heavily promote
their VoIP phone plans in conjunction with their TV and broadband
connections. They admit that most people still don't know the cable
company offers phone service, but they aim to change that soon.
Beyond just getting more money out of each subscriber, it also means
much less churn for the cable companies, as studies have shown that
the likelihood of a customer switching providers drops drastically for
each additional service they receive from their provider. While the
article doesn't mention much about pricing, it would make sense for
the cable companies to cut the prices on the phone service
drastically. The additional cost to the companies isn't that high,
and undercutting the telcos in their core market has to hurt them.
Besides, as the article points out, choosing a phone company is much
more of an "emotional" decision than choosing a broadband provider.
If the cable companies can win over the emotions of people with very
low priced calling plans, they'll more than make up the difference in
new customers for their broadband and video services - and the
resulting lack of churn.

Michael Song on Chinese music industry
Michael Song on Chinese music industry
09/10/2004 12:01 AM
We just had a very interesting meeting with Michael Song, managing
director of Taihe Rye Music. He is Chinese, but spent six years at
Texas A&M and returned to China in 1996 to work in the budding
music scene in China. He is in the agency business and represents the
#1 male musician in China.
He explained that the legal music CD business in China is about 5%.
In other words, 95% of the CDs on the market are pirate copies. He
said that it was the teenagers who were passionate about the artists
and liked to hang out in the record shops that tended to buy the legal
CDs. Even in the top artists, CD sales only represented 30% or so of
their income, while less known musicians actually lost money on CDs.
The CDs are important, however, as a marketing and promotion
vehicle.
Because the mass media is state owned, it is difficult to use the
mass media for promoting artists. For this reason, it appears that the
successful artists in China tend to be more talented, singer
songwriters who tend to be popular longer compared to artists in
markets such as Hong Kong and Taiwan where pop idol style artists are
highly promoted and often lack talent or long term potential.
He told us that his artists got revenue share deals with
percentages a bit worse than their counterparts in the US, but much
better than in Japan. Most of the revenue comes from
advertising/endorsements and concerts, but he is aggressively working
on new business models involving alternative media such as the
Internet and mobile devices.
My "take-away" was that in a market where the record industry
basically doesn't function, artists and agents are going to be pushing
the cutting edge of music business models and might in fact discover
the post DRM/RIAA business model before Hollywood does. Obviously, it
helps to have a huge growing market such as China, but I think it
would make sense for artists and music industry people to keep an eye
on China for breakthroughs in the music business.

On rock music, eurovision song contest
and weddings
On rock music, eurovision song contest
and weddings
05/15/2004 05:37 PMYou know, there's a serious credibility problem with a beautiful,
scantily dressed woman, who sings happily "It hurts, how it
hurts" (Sweden). I much prefer Finnish rock music, which mostly
consists of serious men singing in a very laconic voice about they
have been hurt and left in a thousand different ways. At least they
mostly look and sound the part.
Which brings me to the general music selection of Finnish weddings.
It is supposed to be a happy occasion, but yet somehow most of the
music is always extremely depressing. It just makes you want to
scream: the three required waltzes, and then a selection of other
classics, and then moving towards traditional Finnish rock music, in
which a lone, drunken man sings his lament after killing his family,
right before blowing his own brains out.
Hel-lo? Happy, anyone? Remember? The state where you don't really
want to kill yourself (or anyone else for that matter)?
*sigh*
I guess you would need to listen to a lot of Finnish rock music to
understand this entry. Hell, even writing about the music depresses
me to another dimension. Then again, being alone in a small hotel
room, watching the Eurovision Song Contest (which is complete crap, as
usual), feeling the blissful state of inebriation ebb away into
tiredness and depression ("laskuhumala" in Finnish, a highly
descriptive word, I might add) after having left the party prematurely
because of the compound effect of alcohol, little sleep, the afore
mentioned music, relatives ("Now when are you going to get
married, mmh?"), and the general happiness of everyone else
(happily married or at least engaged)... What do you expect? ;-)
Anyway. Lots of luck and love to the happy couple.

04/29/2004 05:40 PMThe Sydney Morning Herald spoke to a lawyer about
allofmp3.com, the Russian company that
sells tons of online music by the gigabyte, and he said it is not
likely that anyone who buys music from the site could get in trouble.
We sought some advice from a Melbourne barrister and
contributor to these pages, Simon Minahan, who practises in the area
of intellectual property.
His opinion: "There's probably nothing to stop the individual from
downloading this material for private use. For end users, the issue is
a basic question relevant to acquiring a reproduction of any copyright
work: has the rights owner consented?"
Even if allofmp3.com's asserted licence is bogus, says Minahan, "the
end user would seem to have a good basis to argue that he is an
innocent infringer, which would mean he isn't liable to damages,
although he would still be liable to an order requiring him to destroy
or deliver up any copies and an order requiring him to refrain from
doing it again."

ReplayTV suit ends. About a year and a half ago, the EFF along
with five plantiffs (including Craig from Craigslist.org) brought
about a suit against Hollywood studios in order to defend their rights
to continue using ReplayTV, after the same companies sued ReplayTV...

Wow! Bummer. I've been waiting years for a precedent case to
establish fair use rights with TV shows and recorded movies.
Now we're back to square one.
But a giant thanks goes out to Craig Newmark and the EFF.

Someday someone is going to get one of these
digital camera/binocular hybrids right and have a hit product on their
hands, but manufacturers' continual insistance to make the camera lens
seperate from the binoculars really futzes up what could otherwise be
a fantastic product. Take these Bushnell Instant Replay binocs, for
instance, as reviewed by KC's David Twiddy. It's not a cheapo device -
Bushnell is a major binocular brand - but it still doesn't take images
of what you're actually seeing through the binoculars (and has a
crappy shutter speed, too, it sounds like), so no matter how many
flip-up LCD screens and Compact Flash slots it has, it's still
fundamentally flawed. (Thanks, JP!)
