Smart meta-data displaying and KISS

Smart meta-data displaying and KISS 04/04/2005 01:47 PM

Paolo (of course - as he usually is) is right.

Clearly we need to build software for humans - not geeks.

As Roland points out - the allure of structured blogging or data blogging (or whatever you call it) - is strong for us geeky types who want as much meta-data as we can get.

This has been a challenge we've faced at ourmedia.org - which is trying to serve BOTH geeky types who want ALL the meta-data and simple digital creator - humans - who are often intimidated by anything more than just name, rank and serial #.

Or is that the Army?

In fact I once had someone put it - flatly - "there's no way in hell I'm filling out all those fields" (this also - BTW - is one of the complaints people are having with Yahoo 360 - but that's another story of acceptance, learning curves and the value of profile data.)

Well anyway - I have an idea/proposal to solve this conunndrum.....

I call it 'Smart meta-data display'.

And by smart, here's what I mean......

First of all "Canter's Rule #1 of great user interface design"

NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL

Don't yah think it's time we stoped building ONE interface for all people - for a wide range of users? Don't yah think it's time we recognized the fact that not all people are geeks OR humans? Perhaps our software can be BOTH, or support 3 or 4 different kind of users - with paralell UIs?

So to that ends - I propose that we start asking these users "what sort of user are you?" ARE YOU A GEEK OR WHAT?

Then we can fashion the software around them, instead of asking them to bend over to the arbitrary set of rules we determine BEFORE we've even met them.

Part #2 is - "based upon what kind of meta-data it is - ONLY display the fields that are absolutely relevant to ths situation."

So in ourmedia.org (for instance) we should ONLY display meta-data relevant to say 'Video:documentaries' and NOT display 'Video:RockVideo' meta-data or 'Video:Cartoon' meta-data.

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a hierarchical taxonomy I'm proposing - rather it is a flat two level taxonomy which HIDES fields which are not relevant.

This is what we're planning to get to in ourmedia.org - in about a month or two.

Alan Kay used to refer to 'opening up the hood of the word processor'. If a human an't figure out how to push the lever to the side while pulling up the hood, then they probably shouldn't be fucking with the engine.

Same goes here.

As long as we put up 'tabs' or some simple form of occlusion - it'll be fine, our humans will be spared the complexity and us geeks will get our meta-data fields.

So same goes for this data blogging/structured blogging issue.

On one hand we NEED to collect the data, while on the other hand - we coudl lose our constituents. I'm sure there's some subtle balance we can strike.

Meta-tags, or, the Dublin Meta Core

Meta-tags, or, the Dublin Meta Core 03/17/2005 03:00 AM
As we sort through tags, it'd often be useful to know who created a particular tag. And when. And in which application. And probably other stuff also. While some apps remember who created which tag (e.g., Flickr), as we begin to aggregate tags, we could use a standard way to express this tagging metadata...a Dublin Core not for objects but for tags attached to objects. If this were to happen, it's very likely to come from the apps that benefit from having standardized tag metadata. The most obvious suspects are the search engines. (Hmm. I may be re-having Mary Hodder's...

Aladinsrl has released a Pinstripe lookalike called Modified Firefox Milk Theme for Windows users. It includes authentic "milk throbbers" from Safari. Here's screenshot and you can download it here (.RAR file). Not sure how legal it is since its ripping images straight from Safari. An Aqua theme was created for Mozilla previously; however, apparently Apple asked the creator to pull it down, because of copyrights. Also, the instructions to install the theme are kinda complicated. You need to install various extensions like Compact Menu, Tab Extension Browser, and Tab Preference, which are provided in the rar file. Then copy files to all sorts of chrome directories to get it to look like the screenshot. I haven't tried it, but I'm sure someone out there is eager to try it. So get it while you can.

When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design
