"I think it's bad to be really well known, because you end up in people's faces whether they like you or not."

How To: Score Higher in Google Search Engine

by Eric Wolfram. Nice little article. My take-away quote:

Remember, Google was designed by Stanford Graduate students. So your energies are better spent simply publishing useful information than attempting to fake out their band of super Googlebots.

Got a bit of clay digging done today. Here's what I brought back.
  • Work on Networks. Clay has put together a "highly opinionated" annotated bibliography on the evolution of social network theory.
  • Social Software and the Next Big Phase of the Internet. A 23-page interview that features info on what he did during the nineties, straight from the horse's mouth. It also contains an insightful passage that I believe captures the gist of the promise of social software for knowledge management -- turning (some) tacit into explicit:
We know things about social life in a very diffuse kind of way, but when we actually see it, it creates a different kind of effect. So a lot of what we're seeing in this wave of social software is that enough social relations have now been made explicit. We're good enough at mining them that we're able to use social filters to do the kinds of things that the knowledge management and data-mining people always promised but could never deliver.

[...] When I get a piece of information, the social context of that information is in many ways the single most important thing. Say I get a piece of e-mail that says, "The sky is falling." Is it from somebody trustworthy, or is it spam? If it's from somebody I know and they tell me the sky is falling, I'm going to follow up on that. If it's HGHproducts@hotmail.com, I'm not. The social wrapper that information comes in is tremendously important. In many ways, it's more important than the information itself.

A good problem to have

The new Public Library of Science journal got half a million hits in the first eight hours following its launch. Open access coming soon to a field near you.

For those of us who weren't there...

there's an incredible writeup of participant perspectives on BloggerCon at Makeoutcity. Reading this really helped me get a feel for what being at the conference was like.

Weblog research links

Lilia is looking for links on weblog research of the academically endorsed variety. While most of the good writing on weblogs is to be found on the web itself rather than in academic publications, more traditional-looking references can come in handy to those in an academic environment. Here are a couple pointers of mine. (Most are taken out of my blogroll on the left.)

Websites
People

Stephen Downes, Mark Bernstein, Jill Walker, Torill Mortensen, Cameron Marlow, Jim McGee, Sebastian Fiedler, Sébastien Paquet, Spike Hall, Alex Halavais, Nurul Asyikin, George Siemens, Marysia Milonas, Martin Terre Blanche, Elizabeth Lane Lawley, many BlogTalk attendees.

Academic documents (theses, articles)
