Pop Music Design Patterns

The Anatomy of Songs -- Pop Music with a comment referring to the masterpiece "Title of the Song" by Da Vinci's Notebook. The lyrics are hilarious, and hearing the tune is even funnier.

Synchronicity

This morning while taking a walk, I had the bright idea of writing a piece on "Household Knowledge Management", starting off with the pieces of paper that we stick to the fridge to argue that KM is far from an esoteric topic and boils down to very practical, everyday concerns.

Well, Stephen has beat me to it by a few hours. Digital Dashboards, Dirty Dishes, Messy Desk, Workspaces and Web Logs is a splendid essay on how we interface with the world's knowledge. Breadth, depth, and lots to relate to; Stephen again shows he's an astute (self-)observer. Which we all should strive to become.

Smacked with a clue-by-four!

Has Seb gone over to the Dark Side?.

Nobility My Ass!.

Googlebombing Coble. I would ask, before you do this, how you think you might react if supporters of coble were to googlebomb Tara Sue? I'm gonna bet you'd be pretty pissed at that kind of lowbrow, fundamentally dishonest tactic.

So you would have us subvert access to Coble's website to reduce the exposure of people to a candidate you don't like? I'm guessing it's because you think the Coble-Berman bill restricts fundamental freedoms right? Ok, uhm... someone needs a smack with a clue-by-four.

Memetics experiment of the nobelest kind? You sure? Really? Seems like a pretty shitty thing to do. Not to mention ever so slightly hypocritical.

[The Universal Church Of Cosmic Uncertainty]

» I'm not sure I agree, but It took me a while to figure it out (I started out not agreeing, then thought about it a bit and began to agree, then came right back around again).

As I read him, Seb is really only talking about making Tara sue a top 10 hit on Coble.  Not eradicating Coble from the list.   In fact I think the idea of having Tara Sue appear in a search for Coble is about right, in fact everyone running against him should appear as a service to the public looking for information about whose running.  I notice that Tara actually links to Coble from her page.

So, I don't really think Seb is heading for the Dark Side just yet.  But we'd better keep an eye on him, he could turn at any time!

The sad thing is that what really drew me to comment on this post is not the high brow moral philosophy but the phrase "smack with a clue-by-four" for which you are to be congratulated!

[Curiouser and curiouser!]

Matt's right, better watch me.

Seriously, I didn't (and still don't) see how such an effort could significantly reduce the exposure of Coble, as the effect in the best case would be that a single one of the top search results would link to Coble's opponent. And I wouldn't mind at all if Coble supporters were to googlebomb Tara Sue, as this would give her name much more visibility.

I guess changing the link text to "opposes Howard Coble" (as in "the candidate who opposes Howard Coble") would have the same effect. Would it appear as fundamentally dishonest then?

Actually I'm not really that interested in the Coble-Berman bill; my underlying motivation is to make more people aware of the fact that some politicians now speak directly to voters, and to encourage such behavior.
