starring Ben Stiller about, yes, dodgeball. Jeff Hemphill confirms it
this morning with an e-mail linking to the IMDB entry for "Dodgeball:
A True Underdog Story." I'm guessing that's a guys night out, as Nicky

OK - so first you graduate from Clay Shirky's exclusive school of
thought, eat the red pill, drink some koolaid and do something Clay
thinks is cool.
Then you use the blogosphere to launch - but you never really
achieve critical mass - but that's OK. As long as Cory Doctorow or
Xeni think it's cool - you're set. There's not need to achieve
positive cash flow or even have more than 2 employees.
Just build up a "little traction" and come up with some cool model
like "Stoli Vodka" wants to be your friend. Come
here to meet Stoli (or was it Skye?) [NOTE: Eli
reminds me that it was Absolut.]
Then just stand back and wait to get bought out. It worked for
ODDpost, Flickr and now Dodgeball - who's next?

Social people don't need social

12/14/2003 09:54 PMKevin 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.
LinkSocial Applications For Social Devices
Social Applications For Social Devices
07/13/2004 01:53 AMThe 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.

02/16/2004 12:07 PMI just noticed that Tony Perkins' AlwaysOn has its own
social networking service, called the AlwaysOn
Zaibatsu. It will be interesting to see if they can pull this
off.
AlwaysOn is trying to be a lot of things that are traditionally
separate -- an advertiser-funded content site, a blog, and a
community. Will the members (many of whom are doubtless already
on LinkedIn, Ryze, and Orkut) see AlwaysOn as their business
networking
"home" online? And how will the site balance the interests of
advertisers with the interests of members, if those things come into
conflict? Tony has a track record of pioneering new models based
around tech-oriented content, so he's we'll suited to conduct the
experiment.
Do You Want TV To Be More Social?
Do You Want TV To Be More Social?
03/23/2005 04:51 AMExperiments in interactive TV haven't done all that well. There are
some exceptions, though, it may depend on how you define
"interactive." Shows that let people vote on stuff seem to do well,
and some people may even consider TiVo-like DVRs as somewhat
"interactive." However, for the most part, TV is considered a
broadcast system, where people are expected to sit back and watch,
while the internet is an interactive system, where people are more
likely to lean forward and take part. The folks at PARC (MO: invent
the future, let it collect dust, while someone else capitalizes on it)
are apparently working on something that might be considered a middle
ground:
social television. The idea is that people often watch TV
in social settings -- with others, rather than alone. However, you
have friends elsewhere who are watching the same program and maybe you
want to watch it together virtually. There certainly are people who
will watch TV shows while being on the phone with someone else
watching the same show -- or the more modern variant of using instant
messaging. The idea here is to take that even further, and set up a
television area where groups in different locations can easily be
social while watching the same show. The thing that they had the most
trouble with, though, was the lack of body language. When someone
turns to face the TV it means they want to watch it and stop talking
-- but that's missed in the separation. You have to assume those
working on this are taking into account the rise of DVRs. It seems
like this becomes trickier when people can schedule their own TV
viewing. When everyone watched live TV there was nothing to sync up.
Either way, this seems like a slightly more creative approach than
typical interactive TV offerings, in that it recognizes that many
people view watching TV as a social experience.

12/25/2003 01:57 PM
I recently found a picture of the panelists at the XML DevCon 2001
session entitled "The Importance of XML." My body language told the
story: I wasn't a happy camper. Of course I agreed with all the
reasons the panel thought XML was important: for web services, for
interprocess communication, and for business process automation. But I
also thought XML was important for a whole different set of reasons
that weren't on the conference's agenda. I thought XML was important
for end-user applications, for human communication, and for personal
productivity. I believed then, and I believe more strongly today, that
it's a bad idea to separate those two ways of using XML. [XML.com]
This is an edited-down version of the talk I gave at XML 2003. It
omits the XPath-search-in-the-browser demonstrations, which readers of
my O'Reilly Network column have already seen.

Social chaff
Social chaff
02/15/2004 06:27 PMI was talking to Peter yesterday about the risk of accidentally
getting on weird lists or being profiled as a threat. Hanging out
with, or communicating with the wrong people online or on the phone
could land you on a list that might get you hassled at the airport or
worse. They apparently used social network theory to find the person
who would know where Saddam was. Similarly, I could see people using
all sorts of social network theory to figure out who to wiretap or
hassle. The thought was that if you hang out with enough people, you
might be able to confuse such analysis or profiling. Name-dropping on
my blog is a form of social chaff since connections to random nodes
must be confusing to analysis. I can see the gapingvoid card, now: "I'm just
talking to you because you're social chaff". (Chaff is the strips of
foil that fighter-planes drop to confuse radar as countermeasures to
tracking.)

just too much fun. Since I'm on east coast time, I was up at 4:30 and
came to the largish room where people go for focused computing time.
Now at 9:30 there are about 20 stellar geeks sitting around tables
arranged into a U, each staring into her/his laptop, now and then
snorting in laughter and drawing their neighbors' attention to yet
some new wonder on the Web. From the faces each two feet from the next
but focused on the glowing screens, it'd be easy to mistake this for

01/24/2004 09:30 PMSometime in December, somebody flipped a big switch and all of a
sudden everyone was inviting me to join their
Linkedin network. Then suddenly
last week the Kozmick Finger pointed at
Orkut, and near as I can tell, all
the geeks on the planet have spent this weekend busily inviting each
other to be Orkut pals. It all seems mostly harmless; mind you, I
haven’t actually got any use out of either of ’em. For what
it’s worth, all the Orkutians seem to be heavy geeks, while about
half the Linkedincrowd is VCs and businesspeople. I don’t think
it’s gonna change the world, but I’ve been wrong before. To those
whose invitations I’ve declined: sorry, nothing personal, it’s
just that I feel I ought to either have spent some face-to-face time
with you or been in some substantial online interaction.

Damn social Web!
Damn social Web!
01/07/2004 02:04 PM I sent an email to a friend this morning asking for help thinking of
technology people who meet a particular parameter, you know, along the
lines of "Do you know any techies who ____?" Unfortunately, my friend
forwarded my hastily written mail to about 20 people who might also be
able to fill in the blank. One of those twenty mentioned Metcalfe's
Law in her reply. Someone else talked about the need to supplement
that law in order to understand a different aspect of social dynamics.
Someone else commented, contradicted, expanded... Now those 20 people
— strangers — are...
Social manners
Social manners
02/10/2004 02:48 AMI’ve been invited onto the friends lists on Orkut and
LinkedIn by several people that I don’t really know. I know who
they are, but I wouldn’t exactly call them my friends. Some have
commented on my blog once or twice, some I’ve commented on. A
couple are people who live near me. I didn’t recognize most of
their names—I had to look at their Web sites in order to figure
out who they were.
Part of me feels awkward when rejecting these invitations, but I
think I should know you before I call you my friend. Random, one-tme
interactions do not make friendships. Once at LAX
I stood in the security line behind Richard Belzer and said
a few words to him. But that doesn’t make us friends.
Social software sites make it easier for people to make connections
with others. This reduction in friction encourages people to make
connections to everyone—even those to which they have only a
tennuous relationship.
In the real world, people have an innate sense of propriety as to
whom to extend invitations for social interactions. You don’t
invite casual acquaintences to your wedding or complete strangers to
your company picnic. Social software has sprung up faster than
etiquette can develop. There are no manners for how to invite people
into your network. Similarly there are no rules for how to politely
decline an invitation.
Like with any other new system, rules will begin to emerge that
govern the polite use of social networks.

Mobile/Social Art
Mobile/Social Art
06/02/2004 11:40 AM
PurseLipSquareJaw collects a set of three
experimental art pieces that attempt to show the effects of technology
on social interaction. The first piece, called 'Fashion Victims' is a
series of clothes, hats, and bags that stain themselves with a red dye
when the in-woven electronics detect a cellular phone call in
progress. At first I thought they had developed a fabric that
constantly changes to mobile phone radiation, but unfortunately that
isn't the case -- it's a one-time stain. The second is a project
called 'Mass Distraction' that humorously amplifies the disconnection
of everyday cell phone users by using a series of specially-designed
jackets that focus the attention of the user on the call at hand, or
include a possibly left-out meatspace person by entertaining them with
a handheld game, or requiring the user to continue to add coins to
their jacket to make a call. No, this isn't practical. This is art (be
sure to click on each jacket).
The last is definitely the most adorable. Called 'Hybridization,'
the project is an attempt to make a visual signal that clues in others
to the state of the portable audio user's awareness. Flaps down? I'm
listening to music. Flaps up? I'm ready to talk.

How Many Social Networks Is Too Many?
How Many Social Networks Is Too Many?
11/14/2003 02:29 AMI keep reading about all these "social networking software" plays, and
the amazing thing to me is that, unlike during the last bubble,
everyone except people working for these companies
or
venture capitalists seem to know it's a bubble. Yet, they keep on
coming. The latest is that
Evite has launched their own version of Friendster
tied to their event organizing system, and eMode (known for their fun
tests and dating system) has changed their name to Tickle, which is
what their Friendster wannabe is called. They also bought another
social networking service, to take one of about 100 off the market.
Who the hell signs up for all of these systems?
Paten
ts aside, there is
nothing complicated in creating such a
site (there's even one Friendster rip off
called Yet Another Friendster Rip Off). The
complication comes in actually making money from such a site. The odd
thing, though, is the rampant skepticism about these sites. In the
90s bubble years, it was never like this. Sure, there was some
skepticism, but not the near universal skepticism that is focused on
social software space right now. What's funny is that you would think
so much skepticism would make the VCs stay away, but the reverse is
happening.
