Knowledge Is a Common Good - Transform Network The Effects of the Open Source Movement on the Development of Politics and Society Introduction In October 2009, Transform! For Transform! In this article my aim is to give a picture of the experiences which represent the background of the FCF, presenting some its salient characteristics and achievements. The Free Culture Movements What we call here the Free Culture Movements comprises a wide range of experiences mainly emerging in the framework of the internet and the digital revolution. All these movements emerged as a practical and cultural critique of what has been called “the second enclosures movement”4 the northern state-aided aggressive policies of extension of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs)5 to knowledge, culture, information, communication (and even organisms and data). The first to emerge and the most consolidated is the Free and Open Source Software movement (FOSS). Conclusion I will list here just three, in a very schematic and tentative way: Notes

Google 21 Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity: How BuzzFeed makes viral hits in four easy steps Photograph by Michelle Gantner/www.maladjustedmedia.com Last Wednesday, BuzzFeed’s Jack Shepherd published an irresistible piece called, “21 Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity.” The post is exactly as advertised, a rundown of photos of people being more wonderful than you’d expect—rescuing animals from danger, helping strangers in need, expressing tolerance for others, and all manner of additional good stuff. When I saw Shepherd’s piece, my first thought was, Why didn’t I think of that? How does this one site come up with so many simple ideas that people want to spread far and wide? The answer, in short, is that BuzzFeed’s staff finds stuff elsewhere on the Web, most often at Reddit. Take that “Faith in Humanity” write-up. Once BuzzFeed had the germ of the idea, finding more pictures to populate its list was a matter of simple searching. After a bit of Googling for phrases like “faith in humanity,” I came upon Andre Bastary’s Pinterest page. This wasn’t always easy.

What database does Google use Local Harvest / Farmers Markets / Family Farms / CSA / Organic Food Exploring the 'Net and Star Trek with Pearltrees Over the past few days, you may have noticed that we've embedded a new tool known as Pearltrees in certain articles on TG Daily. As you can see, Pearltrees embeds a significant amount of supplemental information related to a post in a way that is easy to navigate, while giving you a chance to preview content before you even click a link. There's a lot more to Pearltrees, though. What does this mean for you? Well, you can "team-up" with people who share your interests to curate a topic, thereby providing improved context, more depth and high-quality information. "Obviously, it would be pretty difficult to find all of this content in any reasonable amount of time using Google or another search tool," Pearltrees rep Oliver Starr told TG Daily. "From my perspective, the advantage of using something like Pearltrees is that it harnesses the power of people - and particularly domain experts on any topic - to do the searching for you.
British Medical Journal: Statistics Notes Announcement British Medical Journal: Statistics Notes Perhaps the finest series of short articles on the use of statistics is the occasional series of Statistics Notes started in 1994 by the British Medical Journal. It should be required reading in any introductory statistics course. The full text of all but the first ten articles is available is available on the World Wide Web. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence is something every investigator should know, but too few do. Correlation, regression, and repeated data, Calculating correlation coefficients with repeated observations: Part 1--correlation within subjects, and Calculating correlation coefficients with repeated observations: Part 2--correlation between subjects provide an excellent introduction to the subtleties of analyzing repeated measurements on the same subject.

How to Burst the "Filter Bubble" that Protects Us from Opposing Views The term “filter bubble” entered the public domain back in 2011when the internet activist Eli Pariser coined it to refer to the way recommendation engines shield people from certain aspects of the real world. Pariser used the example of two people who googled the term “BP”. One received links to investment news about BP while the other received links to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, presumably as a result of some recommendation algorithm. This is an insidious problem. This is the filter bubble—being surrounded only by people you like and content that you agree with. And the danger is that it can polarise populations creating potentially harmful divisions in society. Today, Eduardo Graells-Garrido at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona as well as Mounia Lalmas and Daniel Quercia, both at Yahoo Labs, say they’ve hit on a way to burst the filter bubble. They found over 40,000 Twitter users who had expressed an opinion using the hashtags such as #pro-life and #pro-choice.
Real-Time News Curation - The Complete Guide Part 4: Process, Key Tasks, Workflow I have received a lot of emails from readers asking to illustrate more clearly what the actual typical tasks of a news curator are, and what are the tools that someone would need to use to carry them out. In Part 4 and 5 of this guide I am looking specifically at both the workflow, the tasks involved as well as at the attributes, qualities and skills that a newsmaster, or real-time news curator should have. 1. Sequence your selected news stories to provide the most valuable information reading experience to your readers. There are likely more tasks and elements to the news curator workflow that I have been able to identify right here. Please feel free to suggest in the comment area, what you think should be added to this set of tasks. Photo credits:1.
Museums and the Web 2010: Papers: Miller, E. and D. Wood, Recollection: Building Communities for Distributed Curation and Data Sharing Background The National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program at the Library of Congress is an initiative to develop a national strategy to collect, archive and preserve the burgeoning amounts of digital content for current and future generations. It is based on an understanding that digital stewardship on a national scale depends on active cooperation between communities. These diverse collections are held in the dispersed repositories and archival systems of over 130 partner institutions where each organization collects, manages, and stores at-risk digital content according to what is most suitable for the industry or domain that it serves. NDIIPP partners understand through experience that aggregating and sharing diverse collections is very challenging. Early in 2009, a pilot project recognizing the specific characteristics of this community was initiated by the Library of Congress and Zepheira. Specific goals for the Recollection project are to: How It Works
