Distracting chatter is useful. But thanks to RSS (remember that?) it’s optional. « Jon Udell
"Mine seems atypical: I’ve reached into a corner of my closet, pulled out the RSS reader I left there, and used it to find nourishment that online social networking seems no longer to provide. Last night’s 13-course meal was a selection of recent essays by Gardner Campbell, Paul Ford, Cliff Gerrish, Brian Dear, Ned Gulley, John Faughnan, Eugene Eric Kim, Adina Levin, Hugh McGuire, Cameron Neylon, Antonio Rodriguez, Scott Rosenberg, Doc Searls, Ed Vielmetti, and Ethan Zuckerman.

These writers are among many who write because they want to and because they can. They write in their own online spaces which I follow in my RSS reader. When I seek nourishment from them I can go directly to their spaces. No business models drive me there. Often, to be sure, I have been led there by way of a comment on one or another of the social networks. That had become so common that I came to accept a lot of distracting chatter as the price of discovering things to read. But Google+ seems to be the camel’s-back-breaking straw. The price has gone too high. So I’m rediscovering what made the blog network so thrilling to me a decade ago: unmediated access to people writing for the love of it in their own online spaces. Distracting chatter has its uses. But it’s optional."

Automatic shifting and manual steering on the information superhighway « Jon Udell
"This property of the link — that it is both map and territory — is one I’ve blogged about before (a lucky blog for me, as it elicited three of my Favorite Comments Ever). But now I see something much larger coming into view. Each person enacts the network. At the same time, the network begins to represent and enact the infinities within the persons who make it up. The inside is bigger than the outside. Each part contains the whole, and also contributes to the whole."

Augmented Social Cognition: Information Stream Overload
"Tomorrow, we will be presenting a paper on FeedWinnower, an enhanced feed aggregator that helps readers to filter feed items by four facets (topic, people, source, and time), thus facilitating feed triage. The four facets corresponds to the What, When, Who, and When questions that govern much information architecture design. The combination of the four facets provides a powerful way for users to slice and dice their personal feeds."

ActivityStrea.ms: Is It Getting Streamy In Here?
"“ I can see a world where eventually my children will look back at my Foursquare data and say: ‘This is Kevin’s history — this is where he was on his birthday 10 years ago, and this was his favourite place to eat.’ Building that profile throughout your life and saving those locations — I think that’s huge. ” Kevin Rose, March 11, 2010 in fact, just last week Kevin Rose was quoted saying: “I can see a world where eventually my children will look back at my Foursquare data and say: ‘This is Kevin’s history — this is where he was on his birthday 10 years ago, and this was his favourite place to eat.’ Building that profile throughout your life and saving those locations — I think that’s huge.” "

HowTo: Rebooting the RSS cloud
"There are three sides to the cloud:

1. The authoring tool. I edit and update a feed. It contains a <cloud> element that says how a subscriber should request to notification of updates.

2. The cloud. It is notified of an update, and then in turn notifies all subscribers.

3. The subscriber. A feed reader, aggregator, whatever -- that subscribes to feeds that may or may not be part of a cloud. "

WebQuery @ Wageningen UR: RSS services from journals in library catalog
"Terry mentioned that they were thinking of making an API for this service, but because our LCMS is completely based on XML services, I accidentally created the API Terry is mentioning : http://library.wur.nl/WebQuery/toc/xml?toc=1530-9932. (Leave out the /xml and it will give you the RSS feed itself transformed with our local stylesheet) It is this kind of services that should be shared more often between libraries in the world. We already discovered journals that are missing from Terry's list and will send them to him to update this wonderful service."

Adactio: Journal—Magnoliloss
"Since Magnolia went down, taking everyone’s bookmarks with it, I’ve been through a mild Kübler-Ross cycle. 1. Denial. “It can’t be that all the data is gone. They’ll recover it.” 2. Anger. “I want my freaking bookmarks!” 3. Bargaining. “Isn’t there something I can do? Maybe there’s some API hacking that would help.” 4. Depression. “Why do I bother contributing to any social websites. Our data is doomed in the end.” 5. Acceptance. “C’est le Web.” I also experienced déjà vu at every stage. ....""Google Reader caches RSS feeds aggressively. As long one person has ever subscribed to the RSS feed of your Magnolia links, you should be able to retrieve your links using Google’s Feed API—‘though for the life of me, I cannot understand why Google insists on marketing all these APIs as “Ajax” APIs, hiding server-side documentation under “Flash and other Non-Javascript Environments”."

Subject-centric
"Explicit modeling of time helped us to introduce even more intriguing features such as Subject-centric micro-blogging. We are experimenting with “dynamic” associations and properties such as Currently Reading [Person, Book], Currently Located At [Person, City], “Currently Thinking About [Person, Subject]”, “My favorite link of the day” etc. To support this “dynamic” perspective on Ontopedia’s knowledge map, we recently added subject-centric RSS feeds. Each subject page in Ontopedia’s knowledge map has own RSS feed which provides quick access to all assertions about specific subject. Each assertion has associated time stamps which allow to track changes in the knowledge map and report them in RSS feeds."

As RSS becomes more and more prevalent as a way to publish and share information, it becomes increasingly important that location is described in an interoperable manner so that applications can request, aggregate, share and map geographically tagged feeds.

Announcing the Movie Reviews API - Open - Code - New York Times Blog
"Today we’re launching the Movie Reviews API, a new way to access over 22,000 New York Times movie reviews going all the way back to 1924.""We’re also offering deep links back to our site. For various reasons, we can’t (yet) give you direct access to things like trailers and video clips. But we can give you an easy way to link back to our site to view them. Finally — and this is the key — we’re giving you access to our Movies search feature, containing all 22,000 reviews indexed by title, reviewer’s name, director’s name, names of the top five actors, and plot keywords." "One of the challenges we’ve faced with our new Developer Network is how to present our article content in a way that complements, rather than duplicates, traditional RSS feeds" "The obvious limitation, though, is that RSS feeds generally only return a number of recent articles — in our case it’s 65, but some sites go as low as 10 — and we’re sitting on an 80-year archive of reviews."--yes, always a problem for RSS

Ambient News at Toolness
"in an attempt to solve this problem and explore the possibility of ambient information in the browser, I’ve started a little experiment. It’s a Firefox Extension called “Ambient News”, and its goal is to provide the user with zero-cost news about the sites that they visit frequently. The extension requires no configuration; you just install it and see if it helps you out."

Aza’s Thoughts » Ambient Information in the Browser
"In Mozilla Labs, we’ve been starting to think about how to harness the data the browser has to make your browsing experience better—while also maintaining privacy and security. We are particularly interested in “ambient” use of this information. That is, we don’t want to add extra features to the browser that require interaction. The data should be able to gracefully enhance our browsing experience without getting in our way."

I’m So Totally, Digitally Close to You - Clive Thompson - NYTimes.com
"Facebook became the de facto public commons — the way students found out what everyone around them was like and what he or she was doing.""The growth of ambient intimacy can seem like modern narcissism taken to a new, supermetabolic extreme — the ultimate expression of a generation of celebrity-addled youths who believe their every utterance is fascinating and ought to be shared with the world.""Haley discovered that he was beginning to sense the rhythms of his friends’ lives in a way he never had before.""Each little update — each individual bit of social information — is insignificant on its own, even supremely mundane. But taken together, over time, the little snippets coalesce into a surprisingly sophisticated portrait of your friends’ and family members’ lives, like thousands of dots making a pointillist painting." "where their sociality had truly exploded was in their “weak ties” — loose acquaintances, people they knew less well.
