Open documentary by the BBC -more on this later.

That handbook…

"This Handbook provides a survey of the field of collective intelligence, summarizing what is known, providing references to sources for further information, and suggesting possibilities for future research. The handbook is structured as a wiki, a collection of on-line pages, editable by readers."

Is what it says.

Yikes. Thanks to Imran Ali for this @moleitau mind-bender. "People, places, time. The triumvirate of factors at play in mobile, social, locative services might be familiar at the surface level to designers and developers. Our relationships to each other, the cities and places we inhabit and navigate have been transformed in the last few years by the technology, products and services that we have designed — but what about that last one of the three — time? Using examples from the development of Dopplr.com and other services — alongside historical and science-fictional perspectives — Matt will explore what we might call “neochronometry” and illustrate some directions we could take as interaction designers to treat time as a material."

I used to think of textual journalism as the key kind of public sensemaking, but this, along with the other data-related stuff I've been bookmarking, makes me think a bit more transliterately, perhaps. Time to get a maths tutor on School of Everything?

And more specifically, the New York end of the School of Everything. Wonder whether anyone needs human rights video advocacy lessons.

So I am #1272 to delicious this, but what the hell – brilliant idea, and the makenubs boys always rave about this.

The Situationists were right – the "derive" helps us stay alive.

Yikes – this is pretty obsessively comprehensive.

In which…: poverty is, surprise, surprise, identified as the major threat to the world's security.

Regularly updated link tables on mobile, videos, intense conflict photos, events, data visualization, collective intelligence, open government, new tech, education potential, & software.

Some very interesting papers here, including on "information accountability".

And one more on ontologies.

And other ontologies.

Create ontologies…

"As the microscope permitted us to explore biology and the telescope helped us to explore cosmology, so will computers and software permit us to explore cognitive worlds that are still unseen. Computers are epistemological exploration tools. They become the playground for the exploration of the life cycle of knowledge. Eventually, computational resources will construct and falsify knowledge all by themselves."

Although this is about the origin of the William Gibson quote – and a nice piece of mining – I'm more interested in the idea that the past is not evenly distributed, in terms of archives, especially audio-visual archives. More on this sometime when I get a chance to write…

Lots of relevance here – CIMA's become a key player really quickly.

Nice illustration of the layers of crap you have to go through to collaborate pre-wiki.

Community, business and technology.

TAMi – Total Audience Measurement Index (not to be confused with TamiFlu) – is NBC's aggregate audience measure across 5 platforms.

"This website contains online lectures delivered as part of the MA in Creative Writing and New Media at De Montfort University from 2006-2010. Visiting lectures, delivered online by leading practitioners across the world, were an integral part of the course. Teaching via video, Skype, chatrooms, slideshows, websites and plain old-fashioned discussion boards, the speakers outline the realities of working in new media; detail the rigorous creative and theoretical challenges, and celebrate the sheer pleasure of breaking new artistic ground in this dynamic medium. Their legacy and influence still continues in the work of CWNM students as they graduate and begin their careers."

Minutes of the proceedings of the Security Council meeting led by Hillary Clinton…

Thanks to the random @lofting for that one. "After World War II, construction of vacation facilities, which had ceased during the war, recom­menced and expanded, and in 1963 the health spa planning agency com­missioned its first and only market research survey to determine how Soviet citizens wished to vacation. A completely unexpected 72 percent said they would like to travel from one place to another, not sit in one spa. Some 45 percent wished to vacation with their families, and 41 percent with friends or ­co­workers; only 15 percent said they preferred being with ­strangers."
