This document discusses how people are overloaded with information and provides tips for managing information overload with technology. It suggests using email more efficiently by separating accounts, searching smarter using tools and operators, finding expert curators on social media, subscribing to RSS feeds, and using cloud apps and services. The key ideas are that greater access to information does not equal knowledge, multitasking is not the same as managing complexity, and technology can help filter information if used strategically.

The Attention Crash:

Steve “We are reaching a point
where the number of inputs
Rubel we have as individuals is
beginning to exceed what
we are capable as humans
of managing. The demands
for our attention are
becoming so great, and the
problem so widespread, that
it will cause people to crash
and curtail these drains.
Human attention does not
obey Moore’s Law.”

Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.

Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.

Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.

Care about people’s approval
and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.

Throughout the two days of the National Behaviour Change Congress my team of six social media scribes captures key speaker notes and insights as well as worked with participants to familiarise themselves with Twitter. There were six Congress topics and tweets were arranged accordingly, further discussion took place with other behaviour change practitioners internationally and many participants signed up to Twitter for the first time. The Harvest presentation was the final presentation given at the Congress and fed back to the group what had happened on social media including key barriers and opportunities for next time.

NYPA 2010 - Link JournalismGreg Linch

��

Link journalism involves linking to reporting or sources on the web to enhance, complement or add context to original reporting. It can also curate topical news to help people find the most interesting, credible content from any source. While linking, journalists must verify the accuracy and credibility of sources to avoid plagiarism. Linking allows readers to access primary sources and check quotes in context. When done well, link journalism can provide greater depth than traditional media by connecting readers to a wide range of information on a topic.

Technology and Human Communication, Social Interactionhsudduth

��

The document discusses how communication technologies have changed how humans interact and share information. It notes that technologies like social media, email, and cellphones allow people to connect across great distances (sentence 1). However, increased technology use can negatively impact in-person socializing and privacy, as more personal data is collected by companies (sentence 2). Whether technology will fully replace human relationships is debated, as is how it affects social isolation (sentence 3).

Does internet make you smart or notAM Oh

��

The document discusses two perspectives on how the internet impacts intelligence. The first argues that the internet is making us smarter by shifting society from print to visual media and requiring us to learn new skills for absorbing visual information. However, the second perspective discussed in the document is that while the internet provides easy access to information, it can also inflate our confidence in our own knowledge and make us overestimate our intelligence when disconnected from the internet. The document describes studies that found people were more confident in their abilities after researching questions online but performed similarly to those without internet access.

How technology has changed the way we communicateCRISTINA DOMENE BEVIÁ

��

Since the invention of the telegraph in 1792 (first method of bidirectional communication using technology), and later, the invention of the telephone (patented by Graham Bell), things have changed a lot. The beginnings of Internet were in 1969 as 'Arpanet', connecting three universities in California and one in Utah. Since then, a revolution that changed the way people communicate took place. Blogs and social networks began to have a great importance in communication. Blogger was born in 1999 and later in 2003, Facebook, the social network of reference. Certainly this method has revolutionized the way we communicate but, how has been the impact on people who use them?

��

Dave Troy proposes rethinking email by starting from first principles and introducing new design constraints. He argues that email has stagnated while other communication platforms advanced. Shortmail launches with a 500 character limit per message to reduce cognitive load and encourage conciseness while remaining interoperable with existing email infrastructure and standards. Troy hopes Shortmail will spur innovation and improve communication.

The Coevolution of Language & Social TechnologiesRoland Smart

��

1. Social technology is a primary driver of language evolution as it augments language and becomes part of language over time. 2. As language and social technology coevolve, social technologies add new symbols, words, norms and behaviors to everyday languages. 3. As this coevolution continues, there will be more intermediation between language and social technology such as analyzing language patterns and metadata to infer insights about relationships and interests.

This document discusses how technologies are impacting research practices and academic discourse. It explores how researchers are using tools like blogs, Twitter, �ݺ�ߣShare and social networking to collaborate, disseminate findings and engage in scholarly communication. The emergence of these Web 2.0 technologies is shifting academic practices from individual to social and more openly visible work. While raising new opportunities, it also poses challenges around ensuring quality and managing the fragmented information landscape.

Don't use social mediaMighty Jungle

��

This document discusses social media usage statistics and provides advice for companies on engaging with social media. It notes that three-quarters of Australian online adults use social technologies and almost half are members of social networks. It recommends that companies listen to social media conversations, join in to guide and lead discussions, and create valuable content to encourage sharing. The key is to allow social media to develop organically rather than trying to strictly control the conversation.

Rethinking Business Models in a Networked WorldThomas Samson

��

The document discusses how business models need to adapt to the increasingly networked world. It emphasizes that in the future, people will be connected through social networks and mobile devices. Companies will need to engage customers by rewarding their attention, understanding social networks as new market spaces, and offering value through conversation rather than traditional advertising. The emerging networked culture values open sharing and challenges restrictive property rights.

Crowdsourcing 101 for GLAMsOlaf Janssen

��

Opportunities and strategies for crowdsourcing in the cultural heritage sector (GLAMs) are the focus of this presentation by Olaf Janssen, project manager for the KB, National Library of the Netherlands You’ll read what crowdsourcing is, what motivates people to spend their time & money on it and how it differs from old-school voluntary work. You’ll also learn what added-value and advantages it can bring, compared to frequently mentioned downsides. Furthermore a number of tips for setting up and running successful crowdsourced projects are given. Then we'll focus on crowdsourcing within the cultural heritage sector. We distinguish six forms of crowdsourcing within GLAMs, each illustrated by a number of examples.

Strategic Planning for NetworksEugene Kim

��

Strategic planning. You know you should be doing more of it. But the way you normally do it requires lots of up-front time to do and lots of follow-up time to get buy-in. And frankly, you have trouble with the buy-in part. All that trouble, minimal follow-through. Great strategic planning processes are lightweight and participatory. This is nice-to-have for organizations, and it's critical for networks, where you don't have the benefit of hierarchy to influence its behavior. Networks will do what they do. In this Leadership Learning Community webinar, I describe how to do strategic planning for networks. I draw heavily from my experience leading the open strategic planning process for the Wikimedia movement, which drew over 1,000 participants and led to a movement-wide shift in focus on increasing reach and participation in developing countries. I share how you can leverage these types of processes for both your network and your organization

This document discusses how technology and globalization have changed how people learn, share information, communicate, entertain themselves, and more. It notes that adoption of new technologies, like Facebook and YouTube, has occurred very rapidly. Specifically, it took Facebook just 9 months to reach 100 million users. The document also discusses the evolution of the World Wide Web from Web 1.0 to 2.0 and how Americans' online time is spent, with over 23% on social networking and blogs. It argues that virtual interactions are not inferior to face-to-face but just different, and encourages balancing real and virtual relationships. The concept of social capital and maintaining approximately 150 relationships is also covered.
