Tinati - the HTP Model understanding the development of social machinesRamine Tinati
?
The document proposes the HTP Model as a framework for understanding social machines like Wikipedia. The model views the web as made up of heterogeneous networks of humans and technologies working towards common goals. It describes how (1) social machines emerge through translation as networks align diverse actors, (2) they develop through phases as networks stabilize and build upon each other, and (3) Wikipedia can be analyzed as going through phases from Nupedia to its current form. The framework aims to provide insights into how social machines form and evolve over time.
The document discusses findings from a survey conducted by fast.MAP, an online market research agency, regarding consumer attitudes toward direct mail and print advertising. Some key findings include:
- Nearly two-thirds of respondents reported remembering advertising seen on screens rather than paper the previous day.
- Direct mail has increased in popularity since 2008 as a preferred method of communication from companies.
- People particularly look forward to receiving vouchers, coupons, and discounts in the mail and are most likely to open personally addressed mail.
- Not being able to receive paper invoices and statements or a company refusing to provide paper options would negatively impact consumers' views of that company.

Retailers are also experimenting with new formats. While retailing is advancing, India still lacks large, organized retailers on the scale of Western countries. The industry remains at a nascent stage of development.

The document discusses changes to UK postal pricing and regulations following decisions by OFCOM. Key points include:
- OFCOM will remove price controls for most Royal Mail products, giving them more flexibility but also subjecting postal services to VAT unless exempted.
- Royal Mail will only need to give 1 month notice for price changes to universal service products instead of 3 months. Terms and conditions will also only require 1 month notice.
- The changes mean the postal market in the UK will be very different after April, with a greater pace and scale of change. It will be more complex but also provide new opportunities for postal users.
- Alternatives to Royal Mail like TNT Post can help users through services
The document discusses how the TV advertising landscape has changed over time. It describes how in the past, TV advertising was dominated by large agencies and budgets were very high. However, the rise of digital TV platforms led to hundreds of new channels being created, lowering costs. This allowed smaller companies to access TV advertising for the first time through more affordable short-form ads and infomercials. The future is predicted to see continued growth in online and on-demand viewing, with TV and online media converging further.
The document analyzes the Kuokuang Petrochemical Project from an economic perspective. It finds that the project's estimated annual external costs of NT$56.9-112.1 billion related to greenhouse gases, health risks, agriculture/fisheries, and the environment exceed its benefits of NT$36.5 billion. It also finds that petrochemical industries contribute less than 4% to GDP and have low employment impacts. The document concludes that extending domestic ethylene production through this project is unnecessary if the market is overseas, and that the project should not be implemented given its costs outweigh benefits and it will increase social inequity.
