Flickr sees dead people







Flickr sees dead people

Flickr sees dead people 06/24/2005 10:03 PM

These two pictures are of a dead man right outside the Helsinki Central Railway Station. Snapped with a cameraphone, and uploaded to Flickr with GPRS, the pictures spread with RSS and tags to people who sit comatosely with their aggregators and browsers, and feed on the information stream.

This is what street journalism is[1]. Whether it is a good thing, or a bad thing, I cannot say. That is up to everyone to decide for themselves.

But you saw it first in the blogosphere.

[#1] Note that I didn't say 'citizenship journalism'.

According to a report from Ars Technica, it seems that the RIAA has gone after a deceased woman in order to get what they feel they have coming to them. Yes folks, these idiots actually tried to sue someone who has already passed on. Worst part was, I have seen no evidence of an apology for…

Do you see dead people? Do you believe in ghosts? Extrasensory perception? UFOs and alien abductions? Can faith alone heal what modern medicine cannot? Do you fear demon possession or live in fear of crossing paths with Bigfoot on some dark and lonely road? Do you believe in lucky numbers or that the wandering stars and planets hold dominion over your destiny? Do magnets exhibit mysterious healing qualities? If your answer to one or more of those questions is yes, then take heart: you're far from alone.

Congrats to Roland and Boris and.....

They've just launched Bryght - a Drupal hosting service. I hung out with these guys a bit when I was in Vancouver and they're certainly a compelling reason for moving there.

Vancouver is hot.

Here's Roland's post....

Our latest venture is Bryght, a hosted Drupal service, "the Salesforce.com of community content". I am working with Boris, Richard, Adrian and James on this one. Yes, we are all Bryght guys :-) !

We have taken Drupal and combined it with web hosting and email to give you a one stop shop for your community content. No IT required, no muss, no fuss! Check out The lights are on at Bryght for more background on how this started. And if you know of an individual, organization or company that could use a Bryght site, please contact us.

Whither StreamLine you might ask? StreamLine continues and it will continue to resell Blogware blogs because we still believe that Blogware is the best individual blogging platform.

Lily Cheng from Microsoft Research is talking about how people represent themselves on line. The closer the friends, the fuzzier they want the representations. We need to make social tools fluid enough to account for the way people's lives change. We need easy access to friends and people important to us. We want sponatenous interactions. Lily's group went to a mall and asked people to draw their social interactions, and gots lots of circles and lines. Microsoft studied this and built a "personal map" that clusters people based on who they send email to (TO and CC) and how...

Dead pixels instead of dead trees


Dead pixels instead of dead trees 12/22/2004 01:49 AM

I love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve. Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves loaded with titles.

Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands of words on a screen.

Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs. A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even cracked open.

When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all heard on my iPod, while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in my hands.

I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read the only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long time.

As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk, I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I don't think it's bad thing, either.

Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead trees.

Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive?


Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive? 02/01/2005 09:59 PM
In television these days, there is hardly a show that doesn’t have the blood flowing or the boobies showing. It is hard to find a show that makes it on wit alone. Till a few weeks ago, I thought I had found the saving grace with Showtime’s original show, Dead Like Me. I guess a few executives didn’t share my opinion. The fight is far from over though. In the past shows would have died…

Fun with Flickr


Fun with Flickr 09/01/2004 08:42 PM
At the O'Reilly Emerging Technologies conference earlier this year I was lucky enough to get a demo of Flickr, the photo-sharing software and service from Ludicorp. (The company's president, Stewart Butterfield, is married to Caterina Fake, who did great design work here at Salon several years ago.) At the time I thought it was a neat little photo-sharing tool, but it seemed a little heavy on the Flash, which sometimes makes my head ache, and life got busy and I never got around to exploring it further. Since then Flickr has won much acclaim, and when I needed to figure out a simple way to share photos from a recent family trip, I thought I'd give it another spin last night. Turns out it has evolved beautifully since my introduction to it, and I ended up playing with it for hours, so let me now belatedly add my enthusiasm to the chorus.

It's an exquisitely well designed Web application, certainly one of the best I've ever seen, full of smart interface choices and nice little finishing touches that let you know that the developers who've built it are also heavy users of their own handiwork.

Tiny example: I noticed Flickr was dating the photos based on the date I uploaded them, so I went in to change a bunch of dates to reflect when the photos were taken. The page contained this helpful message: "The date posted is the date & time you physically published your photo on Flickr, not the date the photo was taken. We are currently storing the date that your photo was taken in the database, so rest assured you won't need to modify every photo later... There will soon be a way to sort your photos based on the date the photo was taken. Stay tuned!" So I didn't waste my time. That's what I call a considerate piece of software. And along the way you learn that Flickr is respectfully storing each photo's metadata (date, type of camera used, all that EXIF stuff that you almost never need to look at, except when you do).

It's easy to get started with Flickr, and then when you want to push it and do more with it, it leads you gently into its depths. It has a whole layer of social software -- profiles, groups, and so forth -- but since its primary function is photo sharing, that social software actually has a raison d'etre, so you don't just sit there (as with so many other ventures in this area) and wonder "Now that we're here and we know each other's hobbies and marital status, what exactly do we do?"

I am generally distrustful of using Web applications as anything more than conveniences for away-from-home access. I want my data close at hand, and most Web interfaces are still too clunky to allow for fast and complex organizing of serious quantities of stuff. But I'm seriously thinking about making Flickr my photo home base -- it's that good. And if Flickr's speedy evolution in a mere six months is any indication, the thing is going to improve -- and grow -- at an intense rate.
