Social Applications For Social Devices

Social Applications For Social Devices 07/13/2004 01:53 AM
The mobile phone, by its very nature is a "social" device. It's designed to help connect you to someone else. While most of the early efforts to create "mobile data" have come from a broadcast mindset (delivery produced content to an audience), it looks like some are finally realizing that mobile data apps need to be social to really catch on. If they're not making use of the mobile phone for what it's good for, then it's unlikely to get too much attention. MIT's Tech Review has a good overview of a variety of different "social" projects related to mobile devices, from the ever popular "Dodgeball" mobile social networking application to Fluidtime's dorm room washing machine SMS scheduler (and negotiator, should you find out you need the machine now and someone else has it booked). These are the types of applications that really are the future of mobile phones -- and not the ability to watch the latest reality TV series on your phone or to receive a marketing message from Disney.

networking 12/14/2003 09:54 PM
Kevin Werbach points out that social networking sites like LinkedIn and Tribe and so forth have very little to offer highly connected people like Esther Dyson, who would nevertheless be a real asset to the network:

Esther and Pierre don't need LinkedIn to reach pretty much anyone they want to contact. Yet there are a whole lot of folks who want to reach them, and don't have a personal connection to do so. So the service worsens their email overload with little corresponding benefit.

Iranian Blogs 02/19/2004 10:03 AM

Iran's blogging boom defies media control: There's an opportunity here for me to spew some long-winded treatise about how blogging is changing the world...but I'll just label this one as "pretty cool" and call it good.

Take one exasperated Iranian woman. Add a computer. Hook it up to the Internet. "And you have a voice in a country where it's very hard to be heard," said Lady Sun, the online identity of one of the first Iranian women to start a blog...

Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi recently said:

Iran will not give up its rights to the peaceful use of atomic energy as well as its right to supply nuclear fuel to its power plants.

OPEC's second largest oil producing nation needs nuclear power plants?  Note that Iran also has the world's second largest natural gas reserve.  Hmm.  Maybe they have the world's largest BS reserves they are dying to export.

Iranian graphics 12/24/2004 12:29 PM
David Pescovitz: Last week, my wife stumbled upon a small monograph of the work of Iranian graphic designer Reza Abedini. Arabic script is naturally beautiful, and I think Abedini's compositions, with text often a central graphic element, are incredibly fresh and emotional. Today, my friend Anne Sanger sent me a link to a great "Who's Who in Iranian Posters" page with links to even more information about the country's happening graphic design scene. Link

Iranian MPs bl0g sit-in protests

Update on a previous BoingBoing post: Persian blogger Hossein Derakshan points us to a weblog by Iranian MPs protesting a decision to ban thousands of reformists from next month's Iranian elections.

the good thing is that, apparently, while they have no access to any Iranian TV or Radio, they've embraced weblogs as a great means of a) publishing their announcements and program b) reaching the young Iranians who have long lost their interest in politics whatsoever.

Iranian cafe for bl0ggers 11/02/2003 09:46 PM
From Hossein Derakhshan's blog:

"I'm not sure if there is any Cafe for bloggers in other cities, but there is one in Tehran. Actually it's recently opened in a northern area of Tehran and Ive heard that it's quite popular among Tehranian bloggers. It's called Cafe Blog and based on the website, they held some basic technical workshops for their members. There are some photos from their opening on their website."

Cracking Iranian codes

Cracking Iranian codes 06/15/2004 10:17 AM

Bruce Schneier has written an interesting article discussing the accusation of Ahmed Chalabi of informing Iran that the US had broken its codes and when Iran knew that the NSA was cracking their codes. He digs into the history of Crypto AG, the NSA and Iran. He links to an article about Hans Buehler, the Crypto AG salesman who was arrested by Iran in 1992 on suspicion that Crypto AG had installed back doors in its encryption machines. There is no conclusion, but this story reminds me of Crytonomicon and the interesting world of information, misinformation and spying.

$110 can provide a tent for a family of five

Thoughts on Bam earthquake from Iranian
bl0ggers 12/28/2003 06:58 PM
The recent earthquake in Bam, Iran may have claimed as many as 40,000 lives by some estimates. Sorting through the Persian blogosphere, you'll find a number of sites where residents and expatriates are posting about this tragedy, and its impact on their country's future.

Hossein Derakshan has yet to sound out on his English-language site, but there's a post on his Farsi blog for those who read Farsi. Among the English-language sites where posts are already out: Persianblogger.com, Pesmanesque, Days of My Life In California, Iranian Truth, Iranfilter, Eyeranian, HumanFirstT henaProudIranian. Many more are listed here, including blogs written in Farsi (there are probably more than 12,000 of them -- here is a good background piece on the Persian blogosphere, from Wired News). And finally, Doug Rushkoff (not Persian) has this to say.

BoingBoing welcomes pointers to other sites sounding out on the Bam earthquake via this form.

Iranian Blogs challenge President

Iranian Blogs challenge President 12/11/2003 11:53 PM
Iranian bloggers challenge the President in the Summit: It all started from a post on the Geneva Summit's blog, DailySummit, asking Iranians to report on the Net censorship. Then, they asked them to post their questions for the Iranian President, who was going to have a press conference. Then reporters asked the questions from the president: Is the there a blacklist for Iranian websites? Do you read Persian weblogs? How hard is it to connect to the Net in Iran? Later they asked tougher questions from the Minister of Telecommunications: Why don't they public the blacklist? Why Sina Motallebi, the blogger, was arrested? Isn't the summit about how technolo gy benefits democracy and human rights? Blogs can definitely be a big part of the answer.
