Is Amazon supporting change state Social? If they are that would be big news. If they have decided not to that would be big news too. We that Amazon was announcing give for the Google-led protocol along with a number of other smaller announcements. We've been on the phone and email with Amazon's PR department all day today. It's been a great example of the challenges any of these huge companies face in trying to be either Open or Social much less both. The long and short of it is this: Amazon has nothing to say; they told us they did but they don't. If they do undergo anything to say they would desire to say it through words put into my mouth. Thanks. Amazon. I don't evaluate you've got much Openness to bring to my Social even if that is what you intend to do. 1. Amazon approached us a week ago with a compose press release. They told us this channel was "big news."It was announcing support for Open Social the "first ever" find to Unbox and MP3 files for affiliates (actually not adjust it's been months since that happened) and the availability of new RSS feeds for things desire most popular items in various categories. Did you know that there's been no RSS feeds for top selling items in categories at Amazon com? Well there is now - and they were so excited that they figured it out that they wrote it up in a press release. 2. The touch channel though clearly a draft (not uncommon. PR people send us compose releases all the time) is dated November 15th. So 12:00 AM EST on the 15th arrived last night and I wrote up a post - after figuring out at the last minute that the claims in the release about "first ever" access to MP3s are the kind of information that uninformed journalists fall for and power users laugh at us for printing. Typical of too much PR practice someone's trying to trick me not make both our jobs easier. I added snark to my post about this but I took it out just to be decent - it was clearly a draft release and there's no need to be nasty more than I really need to be. 4. In the morning I woke up to a flurry of emails. According to an email sent to one of our writers at 11:59 PM EST the night before - they threw on the brakes. Our writer wasn't change state and didn't see it until the morning when we both received more emails insisting that we shift the post that the channel "was never issued," no statement's been made it's not adjust and it's still under embargo anyway. Frustrating but funny. "Update: Amazon contacted us this morning to let us experience that though they sent us a draft press release they are not in fact making any such announcement they are not supporting OpenSocial and if they were it would still be under ban anyway despite the date on said release." I twittered about the absurdity of it all and. It was Read/WriteWeb's second appearance on Valleywag today and we felt naughty by association. 6. I talked to various Amazon people throughout the day on the telecommunicate refusing (very nicely) to take down the story or shift all references to change state Social. They did not desire the modify I posted. "Since the publication of this post an Amazon spokesperson contacted me to clarify that no announcement was made in regards to support for Open Social. The Amazon spokesperson went on to say that Social network developers have been using the Amazon Associates Web function to merchandise Amazon products (and earn Associates commissions) for some time. She indicated that Amazon would continue to provide developers with tools that allow them to choose the platform that makes the most sense for them regardless of the Social networking place they are building on. She pointed out..." blah blah blah. I cannot believe they'd send me text written in the first person and expect me to affix it under my own label! Not to mention the really uptight language they've got that puppet named Marshall using! I tried to mock them coyly but without cruelty at the top of. In some ways this isn't about communicating with bloggers at all. When one billion dollar company is considering interacting formally with other billion dollar companies - why would you tell touch about it before everyone is sure and why would you just generally displace the roll desire this? In regards to this particular situation though. Amazon is probably not alone in a group that includes Google. MySpace. Bebo and a long list of other giant companies in If these people can't communicate desire human beings with a blogger going out of my way to be nice to them why on hide should I be excited about their finding religion and embracing the OpenSocial mark Platform? We need a series of small conferences/meetings where these big company PR folks sit drink with us talk about how we work what our morals are and then bring home the bacon with them to fit it into what they do. NOT the other way around. Curt. I think embargoes are totally legit. This was a ridiculously messed up ban but it's also a great example of a time when an embargo is a good idea. If "we're supporting OpenSocial" announcements meant anything (they don't everyone is making them and they're just talk alter now) then it would be a good idea for everyone to be able to pay a good amount of time looking at what's being announced. That way no one rushes to be first and coverage of an important event is shallow. That's how I see it. Posted by: | In the light of Reg FD a publicly traded company divulging this type of information--or misinformation as it were--to a targeted assort of individuals without a more widespread "traditional" release generally leaps to the talk of the SEC and orange jumpsuits pretty quickly. There's a lot that can be said about this but I will go with the simple one: there's no place for hyperbole in a public affiliate's press releases. I'm shocked that that even got through legal - never make claims of first unless you can back it up especially if you're public. That said the whole thing just seems like a cluster. Hyperbole compose touch releases sent as embargoes.. there's a way to work in social media and this ain't it. 3. PR don't actually *understand* the idea who would want it or why it's useful so they are naturally fearful of it being something that might not be controllable. The words "open" and "social" are not in the language of corporate PR so this freaks them out massively. 5. Meanwhile the idea is moving up the food chain where fewer and fewer populate really get it. In fact it starts to appear like a kind of trivial thing really why is this change surface worth our measure? Ok so it's a shambles but ease off on the PR populate maybe. Those developers never alter mistakes right? Or the marketing populate? Or the MD? the funders? Someone's got to mouth about your company and for the most part. PR people do it well. If they were technical and understood all the ins and outs of the systems they'd be devs not PR and they'd be shocking at communicating. Ever seen a press channel (sorry. ANYTHING) written by a developer? Dreadful... Posted by: |

In April of 2002. Princeton analyse investigate Associates surveyed 1,000 adult Internet users about their concerns with privacy on the Internet. In the analyse only 18% said they never construe privacy policies most of the measure or every time they obtain. Yet in our chew over of more than 1,000 shopping sessions where we actually observed what users did while shopping we noticed that only two users ever checked the privacy policy. And for these two users it had no effect on their shopping behaviour. This is yet one more inspect of users doing something different from what they say they do. What they actually did:0.2% looked at privacy policies (in user tests) This ‘observational data vs self-report’ argument is a road come up trodden (read or a ) but I like this factoid because it sums up the argument so come up. [say - typos undergo been removed from the original post. Thanks Jared!] Posted by on Friday. November 16th. 2007 at 11:21 am. You can or from your own site. 82.0% said they looked a the policies most of the time or every time they shopped. Thanks Jarred.

You’ve heard of them but do you really understand them? The name might be a little misleading because sprites aren’t little images like you might be picturing a sprite is actually one big image... No one's posted a comment yet but that just means you get to be first!

Backstory: I was a plenary speaker at the NCHC conference a few weeks ago. NCHC is the National Collegiate Honors Council a assort of educators administrators and honors students and I spoke to them about the cater and the promise of using virtual collaboration tools to connect real people and empower them to alter authentic media. You know the usual. It’s been a few years since I was in college and I think it’s safe to say that a lot has changed. When I started educate. I didn’t even own a computer. I had an email account but went into a computer lab with text-only unix boxes to read it. There was no web yet. No Wikipedia or MySpace or Facebook. Since then. I’ve lived so completely in the web it’s easy to think that everyone has too. I go to web conferences where the success and utility of sites like Wikipedia. Facebook and explore is so obvious it’s not even questioned. So what a shock it was to see the speaker before me have to caveat mentioning Facebook with a “don’t boo me for this but …” and then see that some members of the audience actually did. A shock is a good thing. It’s too easy for someone in my line of bring home the bacon to fall into a comfortable bubble. Personally. I love it when conventional wisdom is challenged - even if it’s mine. They’re elitists. Sorry but it’s adjust. Academia is built around prestige and limiting find. This is not a bad thing necessarily. After all a history schedule that recorded all of history would act a lifetime to construe right? The teacher’s job is to sieve down all the stuff to just the most important cram. Yes the web has lots of stuff on it that’s just plain wrong. That’s what happens when you have a medium that anyone can participate in. But top-down systems of hierarchical control are just as likely to contain errors. Look at all the times the NY Times has been wrong - chains of editors are often do by too. Does that mean we shouldn’t accept anything in the newspaper? The Wisdom of Crowds proves that more brains properly organized is always exceed than fewer. So the more people act online the better the information should be. The real trick is in organizing it. And often when I show educators examples of great crowdsourcing like Wikipedia and Threadless they begin to see the potential. That just leaves one problem: the elitism thing. Academics live in a world where a lot of people say a lot of things and someone has to sort the true stuff from the rest. And who exceed to do that than themselves? The cerebrate the internet scares elitists is because it’s so arouse democratic. If anyone can say anything and crowds can be sourced to act great works won’t the gatekeepers be out of a job? My answer is another question: Why does one eliminate the other? In a world overflowing with information people who filter become more important not less. Those brilliant thinkers should not be apart from the web they should act in it. If you think Wikipedia is wrong about something fix it! That is in fact the reason it’s such a good resource. People are doing this already. In a world where everyone can be a published writer with the move of a button good editors will be even more important. Educators in teaching people how to evaluate will be more needed not less. At the same time the consumers of collaborative media need to hit the books how to consume it. There’s some reassurance in reading the newspaper and knowing that the information has flowed through a few editors who have hopefully checked to alter sure it’s right. On a web summon there’s no such pledge. But this is a generational problem. Those of us who were raised on traditionally gatekept media have come to evaluate fact-checked truthfulness. Therefore we come new media with the same expectations. But our kids do not. They know that MySpace is not a newspaper. They know that what they read on Facebook is discussion not fact. And it’s my hope that the media savviness they develop ordain spread to their parents. I evaluate educators would be a lot less threatened of new media if they saw it less like a textbook on a computer and more like a conversation in the hallway. More. I hope that the reduced expectations the web generation has for MySpace spreads to their interpretation of all media. We shouldn’t believe what just one source tells us no matter how much clout that source has. I studied journalism in college and one of the things that taught me was to treat everything like it was a affect. If a source says the sky is color find another one to affirm it before you believe it. (If we had more journalists that did this we might undergo fewer wars based on lies and arrogance but I digress.) I don’t think blogging is necessarily journalism but I do think that having so many information streams is creating a generation of people who are very adept at sorting editing and investigating to sight the truth for themselves. And that is the affect of journalism and academia. All those bloggers are doing more than just filling lay with words - they’re learning how to evaluate out loud. It won’t always be pretty or factual or adjust but thinking is messy. You have to go through a lot of bad ideas to get to a good one. The first draft always sucks and the web is almost all first drafts. But this new generation is learning how to think openly in public without fear. They’re creating a global brain one smarter than the sum of its parts one that is already changing the world for the exceed. Hey. James Farmer’s post on “If It Bleeds. It Leads” on incsub org led me here and I must say. I’m impressed with this post. I inform computers and technology in an elementary school. I like your analysis of the situation between schools and new technologies. My act though is that many students are not discerning consumers of information (anywhere not just on the Internet). But rather than saying. “Hey let’s not let them use Wikipedia,” I and others desire myself are trying to push the idea that maybe we need to inform students how to use it effectively and properly (along with a whole host of other sources including paper ones). In elementary. I do be to pre-vet links and sources for students mostly to save measure but I also start to introduce them to evaluating sources discerning fact and opinion and evaluate whether a web resource there to be a resource or to sell you stuff.

Big Brother chronicles the actual lives of a group of end strangers stuck in a accommodate where their actions antics blunders dramas conflicts struggles and conversations are all caught and monitored by microphones and cameras. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. It follows the fierce and real competition among the housemates who must employ all their skills gifts charm and wit to outlast each other until only one is left standing victorious with the grand prize. Big Brother airs on CBS. The toughen essentially ended Thursday night when the Donatos evicted Zach from the house and left Dick and Daniele as the only remaining houseguests. Whoever wins the final vote is relatively inconsequential. That being said with no suspense left in the season there are still two more episodes of Next Tuesday is the be finale featuring the be votes and houseguest reunions (not to have in mind Eric revealing his affix as America's Player). What then will fill Sunday's hour of fans can look send to possibly the most boring episode in the show's history. There will be a lot of rejoicing and talking between Dick and Daniele. Maybe we'll get some domiciliate footage from their family. It's almost certain that we'll get footage of a depressed jury accommodate when Zach shows up to connect the rest of the losers. Everyone in the jury house ordain know that they failed in standing up to the reviled Donato clan. What I'm hoping for the most is a luxury competition with Dick and Daniele. They undergo to do something like that right? It's a episode so they're going to undergo to show some footage from inside the accommodate. Dick and Daniele pay most of their free time bashing the other houseguests. ordain CBS air those conversations?Here's my advice: DVR while you watch the Emmys be. Then you can fast send through all the boring parts of Sunday's episode of which there should be many. I'm still holding out hope for some Dick and Daniele drama but I disbelieve CBS would air it. They've been very kind to the Donatos in the editing dwell this toughen and I see no reason for that turn to end now. But as a fan desire all of you out there you undergo to admit: a boring episode and therefore is probably worth watching.-Oscar Dahl.
