Small World Theory for Today

I posted the Wiki stuff because I'm using an article about measurement framework for social capital in New Zealand and they use the term iwi-based social capital for bridging social capital because the iwi in the Maori semantic is related to family or connectedness. Since I had not pulled the article out of the stack for such a long time when I saw Wiki it looked in my memory like iwi. I have a touch of dyslexia left over from childhood.

Later I stumbled across the Scot Cleland stuff and wanted to google him and found this article from campaign 2000 linking him to Ester Dyson who Ray Ozzie once sited as one of the most well networked people he new of. Then she is mixed up in the current ICAN stuff. So to me she represents a good study of Social Capital.

Next I decide to verify the link in my memory between the Wiki and the New Zealand paper so I went to the Wikipedia, selected math and then physics to see if there was any useful information on Quantum Field Theories. Remembering Dyson had a father and mother in math and physics I spot the Dyson link.

I verified the linkage here

But she comes from a unique family. Born on Bastille Day, July 14, 1951, in Zurich, Switzerland, the daughter of physicist and author Freeman Dyson and mathematician Verena Huber-Dyson, Dyson grew up in Princeton, New Jersey, among Nobel Prize winners, with H-bomb architect Edward Teller as a family friend.

All this because I mixed up two letters and forgot a third. What a small world

For future research on the cable vs telco broadband lastmile issue an interesting assesment by Scott Cleland from the Precursor Group. Scott Cleland also had some testomy before congress early spring 2002 forcasting the bancrupsy of large telcos based on what he terms the "trillioni dollar fib" which by my count today is closer to the 4.1 trillion dollar fib.

infoAnarchy gets a wiki.

infoAnarchy has a wiki! A wiki is an interconnected web of pages that anyone can freely edit, without any knowledge of HTML. Wikis are ever growing and evolving idea spaces, well suited for reference purposes. The most popular wiki out there is Wikipedia, a collaborative encyclopaedia with more than 35,000 articles. I don't know if we'll grow that big, but hopefully the infoAnarchy wiki will become the most comprehensive tome of wisdom about the subjects we talk about here: file sharing, copyright, cyber liberties, and similar topics. All information contributed to the wiki is automatically put in the public domain.

[...] this is also the revival of the "Infoanarchist's Handbook", an attempt to develop easy to understand tutorials for everything from email encryption to spyware removal.

[infoAnarchy]

I believe this is the second scoop site that gets a wiki.
