Solve Dating Manifesto







Solve Dating Manifesto

Solve Dating Manifesto 01/10/2004 09:38 AM

Clay Shirky extracts the subtext of the idea that social networking sites can "solve dating" with a notional "Solve Dating Manifesto."

1. Modern Soulmate Theory is based on math and probability calculations.

2. It has nothing to do with reincarnation, astrology, or magic.

3. Soulmates are not destined to be with each other.

4. God may have made a soulmate or a few soulmates for you. God may help you find your soulmate or He may not. Evil forces or your own free will may influence you to choose the wrong person.

5. You may have one or millions of soulmates depending on how different you are from the population mean.

6. Statistically, there is at least one person in this world that will bring you true love, a love that will last a lifetime.

Joi Ito and Jim Moore are leading a discussion of what could be in a "manifesto for a better global conversation." The first comment is that generally we care about our families and towns before we get to worrying about the world. Alex Steffen from WorldChanging says that our goal should be to expand our notion of family. Ethan says that we should start from the common ground: All of us are trying to reach out beyond where we are. The conversation meanders a bit into more abstract topics. (I am guilty of contributing to it.) Ethan slaps it upside...

An(ti) Audiobl0gging Manifesto


An(ti) Audiobl0gging Manifesto 09/01/2004 12:52 AM

AN AUDIOBLOGGING MANIFESTO: This is an awfully good and funny bit of writing (and oration — here's the MP3 version so you can hear the irony...). It's an argument against audioblogging, from both a practical and philosophical point-of-view.

Ask yourself — is the key to making your site more interesting really to add rich media? Or is it possible that if you took more care in your writing, said something passionate, grammatical, interesting, and pleasant to read, it would actually make more of a difference? [...]

Just because you're going to be able to do a real-time three dimensional high-definition interactive virtual reality fly-through of the inside of your cat - does that mean you should? Does that mean it belongs on your website? This is not the legacy we want to leave! So stop the ridiculous self indulgence, and shut up and write.

He makes a great point. I don't have time to sit and listen to someone talk. I like to read, not listen so much. (Also, note the not-so-subtle humor of the speaker spelling out every URL, down to the last colon, slash, dot, and capital letter. The length of Winer's Harvard URL almost makes you squirm listening to him.)

When I first logged on in 1996, one of the first great debates I was witness to on the original MSN (of which I was a beta tester, incidentally), was between people discussing what the next measure of communication greatness was going to be.

Was the fact that almost everything on the Net was written (then, anyway) detract from the great orators and give more power to the great writers? Will the tongue-tied be imbued with more power since writing is the great equalizer of the Internet? Who knows?

An absolute classic New Yorker cartoon shows a dog sitting in front of a computer talking to another dog: "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog." Well, not until you start audio and videoblogging, anyway.

Via Boing Boing.

Bruce Perens updated the UserLinux manifesto; now it's even worse than it appears. "It is not an attempt to produce a 'Linux for Grandma', but is usable by the millions of people with the technical skill to run GNU/Linux systems at home, many of whom do so to facilitate their business or employment. Of course we'll take advantage of improvements in user friendliness as they are developed, however it's not our intent to lead their development." As far as I can tell, they're not planning to develop anything.

The return of the manifesto


The return of the manifesto 08/17/2004 09:17 AM
A new site's recently launched called ChangeThis which hopes to, "challenge the way ideas are created and spread." They propose to do this by creating and disseminating manifestos on various topics of interest and importance. We're betting that a significant portion of the population wants to hear thoughtful, rational, constructive arguments about important issues. We're certain that the best of these manifestos will spread, hand to hand, person to person, until these manifestos have reached a critical mass and actually changed the tone and substance of our debate. I've been a fan of manifestos for a long time, and Kill Your Children (about the dangers of sugar) was very interesting. But I can't help but wonder why all the manifestos they offer are Adobe PDF files. They certainly look beautiful -- nice colors and font treatments -- but they're kind of a pain because you have to download them and launch another program to view them. It seems to me that if the goal is to spread the manifestos, they should be presented in the easiest-to-spread manner possible, like plain text or HTML. Great manifestos of the past (Communist, Cluetrain) were about substance. They didn't look great, but they spread like crazy. That's not to say a nice looking manifesto won't also spread, of course, but I believe they won't spread as effectively because of the additional hurdles to read and distribute them. All told, I still look forward to seeing how it progresses and what topics they chose to address. It's an optimistic endeavor, and I love optimistic endeavors! [via evhead]

A Manifesto for Collaborative Tools


A Manifesto for Collaborative Tools 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

Eugene Kim ias at it again. About once a year (it seems like it's always in May) Eugene Kim puts out another white paper.  This year it's on "A Manifesto for Collaborative Tools".  Looks pretty good.

Reminds me of my own rants on "the New Kinds of Tools."  Hasn't anybody told Eugene that you're NOT supposed to use the evil T word.  Doesn't Eugene know that nobody will fund tools?  Ask any VC.

Besides that - I see the joyous hands of one Danny Ayers all over this white paper.  Once somebody starts talking about graphs, rdf and the semantic web - you Danny is around someplace.

And speaking of esoteric research - I'm still getting good vibes from that Microsoft Social Computing thingie from last week.  Needless to say, I'm still waiting to get invited into Wallop.  But I did get to see Robert Scoble and Lenn Pryor sneak me Channel 9.

But back to Eugene and Blue Oxen. There's nothing he's saying that I don't agree with.  I just wish he'd get more specific.  Screen shots,  Mockups, Design guidelines, Wireframes.  APIs.  Schemas.  We need more Schemas!

I wonder if Blue Oxen is still getting money from Pierre whats-his-name.  Maybe one day he'll discover what we're up to.

Somebody better.


Earthlink posts P2P app, manifesto


Earthlink posts P2P app, manifesto 09/16/2004 01:40 AM
Cory Doctorow: Earthlink has released a new file-sharing tool based on SIP, the protocol underlying Voice Over IP and other systems for peer-to-peer connectivity. What's coolest about this is the manifesto they posted along with it:
EarthLink believes an open Internet is a good Internet. An open Internet means users have full end-to-end connectivity to say to each other whatever it is they say, be that voice, video, or other data exchanges, without the help of mediating servers in the middle whenever possible. We believe that if peer-to-peer flourishes, the Internet flourishes. SIPshare helps spread the word that SIP is more than a powerful voice over IP enabler --- much more. SIP is a protocol that enables peer-to-peer in a standards-based way.

Bill Dummond has another new project. Previously he had been involved with the KLF, and now seems to run the Penkiln Burn website.
The Open Manifesto is a new offshoot - which admidst some nice design, captures peoples personal art manifestos- there are some true gems on here. There are also some 10 ten 'charts' which seem to have stopped in August 2004 - including judgement by Stewart Home - a fantastic author.

One of Bill Drummonds other projects was previously been mentioned here. More can be found through the fascinating Penkiln Burn.

Manifesto for the Reputation Society


Manifesto for the Reputation Society 07/22/2004 06:18 AM
Manifesto for the Reputation Society by Hassan Masum and Yi-Cheng Zhang
http://firstmonda y.org/issues/issue9_7/masum/

Abstract
Information overload, challenges of evaluating quality, and the opportunity to benefit from experiences of others have spurred the development of reputation systems. Most Internet sites which mediate between large numbers of people use some form of reputation mechanism: Slashdot, eBay, ePinions, Amazon, and Google all make use of collaborative filtering, recommender systems, or shared judgements of quality. But we suggest the potential utility of reputation services is far greater, touching nearly every aspect of society. By leveraging our limited and local human judgement power with collective networked filtering, it is possible to promote an interconnected ecology of socially beneficial reputation systems — to restrain the baser side of human nature, while unleashing positive social changes and enabling the realization of ever higher goals.

Here is a guide to current pricing practices for photographers bidding on jobs involving digital workflows. The "Preamble" is a little dramatic, but the info in the piece is very very helpful in describing what many of us already know. Namely, that digital capture saves our clients tons of time and expense, and increases our necessary capital investments and our commitments in time dealing with converting, storing, and uploading the content we create. We need to charge appropriately for it, especially as antiquated "day rates" have stagnated relative to the rate of inflation.
