The Myth of TMI - CogDogBlog
A favorite category of blog posts are ones that start as a comment in someone else’s blog that expands so much it takes root back on your own site. That’s what happened after reading Wes Fryer’s post How are you dealing with TMI? (Too Much Information). I applaud Wes for opening up a topic, but I’m going out on a barking limb here because I read in the comments a long line of head bobbing nodding, and even the question of “how you deal with it” to me begs the answer in a misplaced direction of looking for simple bullet point list answers.

IORG - Information Overload Research Group
We work together to understand, publicize and solve the information overload problem. We do this by (1) defining and building awareness of information overload, (2) facilitating and funding collaboration and advanced research aimed at shaping solutions and establishing best practices, and (3) serving as a resource center where we share information and resources, offer guidance and connections, and help make the business case for fighting information overload.
Web 2.0 Expo NY: Clay Shirky (shirky.com) It's Not Information Overload. It's Filter Failure.
"What we're dealing with now is not the problem of information overload, because we're always dealing (and always have been dealing) with information overload...Thinking about information overload isn't accurately describing the problem; thinking about filter failure is."
Where Social Learning Thrives | Learn at All Levels | Fast Company
Yet in most classrooms, young people are prevented from helping each other learn and succeed. In some communities, concern for property values and yard maintenance outweigh assisting neighbors. In many companies, talk of competitors and departmental politics overshadow someone's need for mentoring or gaining fresh perspective. Over 60 years ago, W. Edwards Demming encouraged management to drive out fear and break down barriers between departments, and still worry and walls are the two constants that most organizations share. Part of why we are not better at helping one another learn and grow is that our attention is spread thin. There is so much going on. We haven't built this notion of serving into the business cycle; into our daily work. Nor have we dismantled the myth that fear and embarrassment somehow motivates people to learn. By choosing wisely where we place our attention, we have more attention and enthusiasm to give
Technology Review: Blogs: TR Editors' blog: Microsoft Adds "Augmented Reality" to Bing Maps
Microsoft just added an interesting new feature to Bing Maps--augmented reality. Actually, it's a bit more like augmented reality in reverse. A new function, called Streetside Photos, takes real images and video clips and neatly stitches them onto the Bing Map's street-level view, using a clever combination of geolocation information (from a GPS-enabled device, or added manually by the user) and imaging-matching algorithms. This means you can, for example, zoom in on a street and see an image of a particular storefront that was just uploaded to Flickr or Twitpic instead of the standard one. Steetside Photos, which is available for Seattle and San Francisco maps, also includes some nice historical imagery.

Professor builds effective learning community at Penn State and beyond via course blog (Part 1) — Teaching and Learning with Technology
A multimedia look, including a podcast, a written article, and an upcoming video, at the use of blogs in courses at Penn State with Chris Long, associate professor of philosophy and new dean of undergraduate studies at the College of Liberal Arts. Long has incorporated a blog as a major part of his course on Socratic politics, even coming up with a rubric to grade student blog contributions. He found the blog enhanced discussions and took his class in exciting new directions. Today is Part 1 of this look at one Penn State faculty member's course blog success, including the development of the current course blog model, the pedagogical principles of course blogging, and how blogging has enhanced how his students write. Tomorrow, Part 2.

The Best Online Tools For Real-Time Collaboration | Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the Day...
I’ve been experimenting with a variety of online tools for collaborating in “real-time.” I really don’t have much use for them in the classroom, since the different time zones of our various sister classes don’t make it logistically feasible. I’m more interested in exploring their use for possibly coordinating work with teachers of those sister classes if that project continues to expand, and for use in some collaborative writing I might be doing in the future.

Man-Computer Symbiosis (by J. C. R. Licklider)
Man-computer symbiosis is an expected development in cooperative interaction between men and electronic computers.The main aims are 1) to let computers facilitate formulative thinking as they now facilitate the solution of formulated problems, and 2) to enable men and computers to cooperate in making decisions and controlling complex situations without inflexible dependence on predetermined programs. In the anticipated symbiotic partnership, men will set the goals, formulate the hypotheses, determine the criteria, and perform the evaluations. Computing machines will do the routinizable work that must be done to prepare the way for insights and decisions in technical and scientific thinking. Preliminary analyses indicate that the symbiotic partnership will perform intellectual operations much more effectively than man alone can perform them.

Ever looked at your favorite painting and wished you could wander inside, to look at it from different perspectives? Spend a single day in one of mine, from early sunrise on a new day, to dusk when lights come on in cosy homes; through a peaceful night, till morning. Shot on location in Second Life then post-produced, this was an idea I had a while ago. The Sim in this work was on temporary loan so it's all been swept away now, leaving only the film behind. It was always intended however that the video would be the end product, not the build. This work is dedicated to the many weird and very wonderful strangers from around the globe I have met, but have never really met.
