Expono: Flickr, Picasa and the Kitchen Sink
Expono: Flickr, Picasa and the Kitchen Sink
You can't swing a stick on the Web these days without hitting a photo or media sharing service. Some of the most popular ones like Flickr and Photobucket have become an indispensable part of our online lives. Among the most recent services to enter the game is Expono, a photo sharing, organizing and protecting service with added features like GPS tagging and the ability to connect with social media services Facebook, Twitter and Friendfeed. Expono has everything you would expect to find on a media sharing site like online backup, easy sharing, albums and tagging, but adds a whole bunch more features that you might not expect all in one place. It is certainly worth taking a look at.

TG Daily (c) - Apple's iPhone sweeps the board in smartphone sales
A survey of 2300 retail stores reveals that Apple has cleaned up in the smartphone market in Japan. According to nikkei.net, market research company BCN surveyed the market and said the iPhone 3G 8GB, sold by Softbank, easily came in at number one. Second in line was the 16GB iPhone, while the NTT CoCoMo Aquos SH-04A came in at number three. The report said that while ordinary cellphone sales are plummeting, smartphone sales have grown by nearly 80 percent in a year.

Museum 2.0: Design Techniques for Developing Questions for Visitor Participation
Museum 2.0: Design Techniques for Developing Questions for Visitor Participation
On Friday, I offered a participatory design workshop for Seattle-area museum professionals (slides here). We concluded by sharing the tough questions each of us struggles with in applying participatory design techniques to museum practice. Dennis Schatz from the Pacific Science Center contributed: How do we find the RIGHT questions for visitor participation? I love this question. It's a two-parter I've been puzzling over for a long time. First, what do the right questions look like? And second, what techniques can help us find more?

We believe firmly that people want to read, annotate and discuss, right there, immersed in the text. That’s the best time to talk about a book. We also respect the solitary side to reading: people should have the chance to tune out the community. We wanted it to be attractive, too; to be an experience. It was designed for the laptops people carry to their coffee shops, and meant for the network, not the desktop. Finally, it had to be something we’d want to use. Naturally we’ve got a list of improvements. Like any creative endeavor, we’re always seeing new ways to tweak it.

Building the user-centered web | Ben Werdmuller
The audience of this talk is a social network; so are your friends, colleagues, interest groups and so on. Social networking tools facilitate social networks. The universe of social tools certainly includes web applications with social functionality, but it also includes structured face to face interactions, telephone, post, SMS, email. In other words, the web is just one possible tool for this purpose – albeit a very effective one.

Science in the open
Science in the open
This blog contains the thoughts of Cameron Neylon on the technical and social issues involved with ‘Open Science’. Most people would agree Open Science includes freely accesible literature or perhaps making raw data available. Others might think it also involves people working on collaborative documents such as Wikis or the freedom to re-use the published literature or data. At its logical extreme Open Science includes making all the science we do freely available as it happens. Many people find this scarey. Some, perhaps a growing number, find it tremendously exciting. This blog is a place for me to think through the technical problems and issues involved in electronically recording our work for publication on the web and the other social and logistical issues that are raised by making the science we do more immediately available and more connected to the world outside the laboratory.

Twenty of My Favorite Things « Stepping Stones
Recently, a colleague asked me what ideas I might have for interesting student projects that would take advantage of these new, participatory media tools. I thought about it and started to make a list. I came up with about 30 ideas but some of them were a little weak…. so I whittled the list down to 20 of my favorites. And here they are. With linked examples, where I had one. I hope you like…
