CAD company kickstarts folksonomy for
product knowledge sharing
02/05/2005 09:53 PM

ProgeSOFT is encouraging its users to tag content about its products (IntelliCAD, PRogeCAD) so they can learn from one another. It's recommending three tags — intellicad, learnintellicad, and "learn software" — for use at del.icio.us, flickr and blog sites via technorati tags. Great experiment, although I'm not convinced that those are the right tags, especially the "learn software" one. Is that so you can search for items tagged both as "intellicad" and "learn software"? It'll be interesting to see how the folks develop their own folksonomy. I don't mean to carp. I think this is a truly interesting idea. My...

Well, it's not quite as big a deal as Yahoo buying Oddpost, but Google has now bought photo-sharing company Picasa, which was already a Blogger partner. It's not a huge surprise to see Google expanding their offerings in more of the portal direction. The only question, of course, is how many spare Gmail gigs are going to be offered for people storing photos. Also, will people now complain that Google is scanning your personal photos in order to put up relevant advertising?

Folksonomy vs. Fauxonomy


Folksonomy vs. Fauxonomy 03/17/2005 03:28 AM

When 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?

ETECH Notes: Folksonomy, or How I
Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the
Mess


ETECH Notes: Folksonomy, or How I
Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the
Mess
03/17/2005 03:56 AM
Cory 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 AM
Cable 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

On rock music, eurovision song contest
and weddings
05/15/2004 05:37 PM
You 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.

Russian MP3 site sells music for about
five cents a song
04/29/2004 05:40 PM
The 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."

While the media watches Streamcast (Grokster, Morpheus) defend itself in court from the legal wranglings of the major entertainment industry players, a new breed of file sharer is emerging. This file sharer actually owns the right to redistribute the artists music and in so doing is rewarded for the effort – completely legal and even encouraged by the artists and their labels.

RePlay suit ends


RePlay suit ends 01/16/2004 11:28 AM

EFF's 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... [PVRblog]

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.

binoculars_instrep.jpg imageSomeday 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!)
