Dynamic categories

Dynamic categories 01/16/2004 11:27 AM
A while back I stopped assigning the items I post here to categories. It wasn't because I couldn't be bothered to do the categorization. Quite the contrary, I'm really interested in achieving that result, and more than willing to put some effort into it. But, although I'm generally a huge proponent of the publishing technique I call static serving of dynamically-generated pages, it increasingly seemed like the wrong way to deal with categories. ...

A couple of follow-ups to things mentioned here lately. First, thanks to the folks at TechSmith, I'm trying out a copy of Camtasia Studio. I've used it to update the LibraryLookup< /a> page to include Flash versions of the Windows Media screen videos I made. You can do a lot more with Camtasia Studio than just convert formats, of course. It's a complete solution for capturing screen videos, and editing video and audio clips on a timeline. ...

Categories are back, and better!

Categories are back, and better! 06/05/2005 11:55 PM

If you've got sharp eyes, you might have noticed that categories have made their way back onto megnut.com entries. As part of my "slow but steady" redesign process, I've recategorized all my entries into topics more manageable than I had before. I haven't set up any category archive pages yet, but will at some point soon. I don't know whether this will be useful or not, but it seemed like a good idea to me.

Different templates for different

Different templates for different
categories 09/09/2004 03:40 AM

Here’s some more cleaning out my idea database. This is yet another half-conceived idea that if you want to take it, flesh it out, and run with it, it’s yours.

I get asked on occasion how to get Movable Type to use a different templates for each category on the blog. Now that you can segment your site with subcategories, I suspect that more people will want to do this. So here’s a rough outline of how. Please don’t link to this as a tutorial. I don’t want confused MT users to have to sift through my barely coherent ramblings. But if you want to write up a tutorial on how to do this, put a link to it in the comments.

Ad-hoc categories and information
architecture 04/19/2004 01:43 PM

Ad Hoc Categorizations and the Emergence of Context Effects: "We discuss how marketers may actively affect categorization processes to increase product appeal, for example, in brand extensions and other category-based product evaluations."

I am looking at Ad-hoc categories (and came across the link above) and what they mean for information architecture.

Ad-hoc categories are categories like "things to take on a camping trip" - they can be created immediately and form a category, even if they didn't exist before. I believe that's the definition.

They have specific properties (for example, their members can have nothing in common other than the fact of their membership, while still showing gradation-of-membership effects.), and are already being used on the web (for example Amazon's "People who bought this book also bought" looks like an ad-hoc category.)

Of course, your copy of Women, Fire and Dangerous Things has some things to say about ad hoc categories, and Lawrence W. Barsalou did research talking about how these are goal-derived categories (I look at ad-hoc categories as a bit broader than goal-derived categories. The Amazon example isn't goal-derived, for example, but it's ad-hoc.).

I'm just starting my investigations into this particular intersection of information architecture and cognitive psychology, any ideas are very welcome.

RSS Feeds Can Build Web Traffic, but Fence Sitters Note Problems

"Richard Miller's creative use of script is not unique, especially given that RSS relies on open standards using XML. The Web is as littered with scraped feeds as it is with the orange XML and RSS boxes widely used to identify that a site offers its own feeds.  Miller and his fellow readers aren't stressed about business models or strategic planning. They know content feeds can be done. They think it makes their lives easier. They either find a way to do it or they move on, abandoning sites that don't make the effort to provide feeds.

Today's online news universe might be divided into outlets that have joined the RSS ranks, ones that have declined and those that continue to take a close look.... [*]

He added: 'It's so convenient. I just can't go to the Web site every day and make it a priority to look for stories that interest me. I just won't use it if it's not an RSS feed.'

Even an imperfect feed was better than none to him and to the users he's heard from who are disappointed about losing his WSJ.com feed. Fortunately for them, Dow Jones has caught on to the interest in RSS and plans to launch an RSS feed "in coming weeks" for the main sections of the Online Journal, Jessica Perry, VP-business development, said via e-mail.  Like Miller's set-up, full stories will be available only to subscribers." [OJR, via Scripting News]

I believe the term the article's author was looking for is "RSS bigot."  ;-)  More from the article:

"The Christian Science Monitor's csmonitor.com started in October 2002 with 1,000 RSS files served; last March it served nearly three million. Sites adding it recently see mounting interest, particularly as more articles about RSS make it into the consumer press.

But news sites that don't offer even a front-page headline feed in this online universe risk becoming irrelevant not only to bloggers who can drive traffic with a mention of a story but to increasingly savvy news consumers like Miller who want control....

'You need to know what it is you're trying to get out of having an RSS feed,' cautions Eric Bauer, information architect for Boston.com. 'Early adopters looked at RSS as something cool that adds a little wow to its site. That phase is over. A lot of people have RSS. It's still not universal by any means but not unique.'  Boston.com is getting 10,000-15,000 page views a week from RSS feeds. Without marketing beyond the RSS link on the front page, traffic has increased 10-fold since the feeds were introduced earlier this year -- partly in response to reader requests."

While libraries can't expect these kinds of numbers any time soon, we're still going to have to provide our information to patrons in their aggregators. Is your library prepared for this?

I'll reiterate that the fastest way to get an RSS feed for your news and announcements is to use blog software. SLS libraries - don't forget that we will host a blog for you for free!

The Windows AntiSpyware security software, current in beta testing, uses a library of more than 100,000 threats to identify potential problems and make recommendations to users as to whether the questionable software should be ignored, quarantined, or removed.

Ontology is Overrated: Categories,
Links, and Tags 06/05/2005 10:57 PM
Today I want to talk about categorization, and I want to convince you that a lot of what we think we know about categorization is wrong. In particular, I want to convince you that many of the ways we're attempting to apply categorization to the electronic world are actually a bad fit, because we've adopted habits of mind that are left over from earlier strategies. I also want to convince you that what we're seeing when we see the Web is actually a radical break with previous categorization strategies, rather than an extension of them. The second part of the talk is more speculative, because it is often the case that old systems get broken before people know what's going to take their place. (Anyone watching the music industry can see this at work today.) That's what I think is happening with categorization. What I think is coming instead are much more organic ways of organizing information than our current categorization schemes allow, based on two units -- the link, which can point to anything, and the tag, which is a way of attaching labels to links. The strategy of tagging -- free-form labeling, without regard to categorical constraints -- seems like a recipe for disaster, but as the Web has shown us, you can extract a surprising amount of value from big messy data sets. - More at http://shirky.com/writings/ontology_overrated.html

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work 11/14/2003 02:51 PM
One of the downsides to the fact that people can work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly stressed out workers are asking their bosses to cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant to do so.

No dynamic XAML?

No dynamic XAML? 11/10/2003 11:11 PM

Let's assume for a moment, that XAML is HTML "done right" for rich clients (suspend disbelief if you have to).  It apparently SVG like elements, if nothing else.  It doesn't have CSS, but apparently there are other ways of solving similar problems being proposed.

Apparently, one can embed small amounts of code in the markup.  Unquestionably controversial, but often handy.  This corresponds roughly to the role that JavaScript plays in HTML... or does it?

What about Dynamic HTML?  Namely the ability to modify the rendering and content of the document on the fly?  Isn't that lost by a compile to bytecode approach?
