Social Computing as Social ComputationThomas Erickson
油
Social computing involves processing information distributed across social groups to support gathering, representing, and disseminating that information. It links information to people who are connected to each other. An example showed how a group organized chapters for a book by physically arranging and rearranging chapter titles. People discussed the arrangements, with awareness focused on nearby discussions. This allowed the group to organize the chapters coherently within 30 minutes through distributed input, even though no single person knew everything. A framework was proposed with levels including identity, awareness, action/interaction and structure, along with mechanisms spanning levels.Interaction on the web
Interaction on the webVera Menezes

Better Media Plumbing For The Social WebStowe Boyd

Stowe Boyd argues that the current social web architecture needs improvement to better support social interactions and information flow. He advocates for a more decentralized "web of flow" approach that allows information to organically spread through social connections more like blood flows through the body's circulatory system, rather than relying primarily on centralized pages, links, and search functions as in the past. This new approach promises to better reflect how social media and interactions are actually used by people.08 10 Why Conversations Migrate

The document discusses how conversations migrate to different places based on social flow and the concept of a "third place." It mentions that for a true Web 3.0, there would need to be a serious discontinuity from previous technologies, potentially involving a web without browsers or breaking from the document metaphor. Stowe Boyd suggests that Web 3.0 will blur the lines between applications and information and will likely be called something other than Web 3.0.The Social Web: Why The New Web Matters

This document discusses different worldviews throughout history based on Don Beck and Ken Wilber's Spiral Dynamics model. It describes 8 levels of existence from earliest to most evolved: Infrared, Beige, Power-Gods, Mythic Order, Print, Sensitive Self, Integrative-Yellow, and Integrative-Turquoise. Each level is characterized by its communication method, social structures, level of ego development, examples of where it can be seen today, and approximate percentage of the population and power it represents. The document aims to provide an overview of how worldviews have evolved from early tribal societies to more modern, holistic perspectives.Social Media And Civil Society

Social media is changing how civil society is organized and how people interact. It has become a new realm for civil society, where individuals voluntarily join online communities centered around common interests, norms and values to influence corporations or enact political change. Interacting and being involved in these groups builds social capital through reciprocity, honesty and trust, allowing for easier cooperation and collective gains. However, social media could also lead to more niche, fragmented communities that are homogeneous in ideas but divided in other ways. While social media compresses space and connects people globally, it cannot replace real-world social engagement and actions.Lecture 5 Identity Networks, Community 2018

The document discusses how new media technologies may impact power dynamics and participation among activists. While technologies were thought to flatten hierarchies and distribute power more evenly, the study found a shift to less transparent power relations. Through norms of connectedness, activists felt disciplined to constantly update their social media status to remain engaged and informed. Rather than reducing power structures, new opportunities for participation imposed behavioral patterns that disciplined activists to become more "engagable" according to a network logic with its own mechanisms of power and status.From broadcast to networks: Tools & changing landscapes in the Third Sector

This document provides an introduction to sociology. It discusses how sociology examines how personal destinies are linked to broader societal structures and institutions. Sociology encourages developing a sociological imagination to understand how individuals are shaped by society and can shape it in turn. It also explores key sociological concepts like paradigms, social identity, and different levels of analysis from micro to macro. The goal is for students to think sociologically and question social norms and conventions.Future Worlds Of Social Science 1st Edition Lawrence Hazelrigg

Entrepreneurialitis - Pitfalls in StartupsStowe Boyd
油
Entrepreneurialitis refers to the acute or chronic stupidity that can be induced by the stress of entrepreneurial activity. Some symptoms include believing you don't need to properly test your business model or bring in outside experts, and thinking you can succeed by doing things quickly and cheaply rather than properly. Entrepreneurs may convince themselves that changing plans constantly or sticking rigidly to the original plan are both strengths, and managers may prefer techniques they don't understand over ones that work.Building Social Applications

The document discusses social applications and their impact on business, media, and society. It explores what makes applications social, the common factors in successful social applications, and what is worth building. It examines concepts like profiles defined by aggregated user data and flows rather than static information, discovery of things, places and people through social networks, and the importance of groups and communities defined by shared user tags rather than predefined categories.Social = Me First
Social = Me FirstStowe Boyd

The document discusses the emergence of a new category of software designed to intentionally augment social systems and shape culture, contrasting it with past technologies like email that inadvertently changed company structures. It emphasizes a shift towards individualism, where personal connections and discovery define social interactions, and the individual becomes the focal point of community and market dynamics. The concept of 'social tools' is introduced as software that guides human behavior into new patterns.Overload, Shmoverload
Overload, ShmoverloadStowe Boyd

The document discusses various topics related to information overload and attention in the modern world, including:
1. It questions whether information overload is driving people crazy and explores how humans may be learning to cope with increased information.
2. The concept of an "attention economy" is discussed, where attention has become a scarce resource in the age of abundant information.
3. The psychology of attention is complex, and conventional wisdom may be wrong, especially from best-selling business books that aim to serve business goals over people.
4. Conditions like attention deficit disorder are examined in the context of modern media and whether today's environment may be toxic for children's development.Ad

Russia is one of the most aggressive nations when it comes to state coordinated cyberattacksand Ukraine has been at the center of their crosshairs for 3 years. This report, provided the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine contains an incredible amount of cybersecurity insights, showcasing the coordinated aggressive cyberwarfare campaigns of Russia against Ukraine.
It brings to the forefront that understanding your adversary, especially an aggressive nation state, is important for cyber defense. Knowing their motivations, capabilities, and tactics becomes an advantage when allocating resources for maximum impact.
Intelligence shows Russia is on a cyber rampage, leveraging FSB, SVR, and GRU resources to professionally target Ukraines critical infrastructures, military, and international diplomacy support efforts.
The number of total incidents against Ukraine, originating from Russia, has steadily increased from 1350 in 2021 to 4315 in 2024, but the number of actual critical incidents has been managed down from a high of 1048 in 2022 to a mere 59 in 2024showcasing how the rapid detection and response to cyberattacks has been impacted by Ukraines improved cyber resilience.
Even against a much larger adversary, Ukraine is showcasing outstanding cybersecurity, enabled by strong strategies and sound tactics. There are lessons to learn for any enterprise that could potentially be targeted by aggressive nation states.

Finding a specific car online can be a time-consuming task, especially when checking multiple dealer websites. A few years ago, I faced this exact problem while searching for a particular vehicle in New Zealand. The local classified platform, Trade Me (similar to eBay), wasnt yielding any results, so I expanded my search to second-hand dealer sitesonly to realise that periodically checking each one was going to be tedious. Thats when I noticed something interesting: many of these websites used the same platform to manage their inventories. Recognising this, I reverse-engineered the platforms structure and built an FME workspace that automated the search process for me. By integrating API calls and setting up periodic checks, I received real-time email alerts when matching cars were listed. In this presentation, Ill walk through how I used FME to save hours of manual searching by creating a custom car-finding automation system. While FME cant buy a car for youyetit can certainly help you find the one youre after!Enhance GitHub Copilot using MCP - Enterprise version.pdf

Editor's Notes
- #2: The web is the most valuable human artifact ever created. We have no idea of how much we have invested collectively in its creation and maintenance, and while we may, as individuals or companies, consider the return on investment for some tiny element of the larger web, like a new router or server, on the whole the web is growing at a stratospheric rate with no real consideration of its relative cost. We dont even know how much energy it takes to keep it going. Its a truly distributed cultural activity. Our post-industrial civilization, in future centuries, may be defined by our building the web, in much the same way as we recall the ancient Egyptians for their pyramids, and the Chinese for the Great Wall. And in much the same way, the building of such artifacts says a great deal about the cultures that built them, and suggests a great deal about the shape of the cultures that followed their construction. But the web stands out from these merely physical artifacts. It has more in common with the rise of printing, as has been widely noted. And like the mass-produced books of the, the largest impact of the web will not be seen immediately, but will reverberate in our culture, as we are shaped by the tools we have built.
