Follow Everything

Following became quite popular nowadays. It seems we are not so shy to follow any more. It is actually our following of people that makes them pop up, and shine in their relevance. Of course, I play here with multiple senses of the word “follow”. The video below explores the importance of following in the [...]

    • Jump to Another World: Information/People discovery on the Web

    How many times have you faced another reality? I am talking about a feeling when you encounter a person, an event, a fact that has existed for ages in parallel with you, but you were totally unaware of it. It happens to me from time to time, to encounter someone who lives under totally different [...]

    • The Physical Web

    I was surprised recently, to see the Google Chrome ads appeared in the Paris Metro. For me it was a sign that Google, the king of the virtual, has come down to the physical world. Does Google want to become tangible, and physical? To rule the physical world as well? At the same time, I [...]

    • A Twitter (Stream) for the Semantic Web : An Idea

    In the most recent Hypios blog article, “Is Twitter an Ponzi Scheme?” Jérémie talks about the Twitter life-cycle saying that users first get involved as listeners and recipients of content; then they start retweeting and generating content, and finally they get to follow so many people that they cannot really follow what’s going on and [...]

    • Social Networks that are Alive

    I have been reading ”The Timeless Way of Building” by Cristopher Alexander – a book where he introduces the concept of the quality without a name – something so inherent to humans that it cannot even be named. This quality distinguishes exceptional and extraordinary architectural works from those less worthy. He says ”Places which have [...]

  • Semantic Web Promotion Video

    One of our tasks during SSSW was to create a video promoting the Semantic Web. The idea originated from Valentina Presutti , with the aim to show how Semantic Web can be fun, in order to spread the Seamantic Web vision among less technically informed people. A lot of great videos emerged as a part [...]

  • Diamonds are Forever

    I wrote earlier about the need to appear differently to different people in the online world (to have different status messages and different availability for different groups of people). Having this all in mind I think there is a need to look at the notion of online presence as a faceted phenomenon. For this reason [...]

  • Appear Differently to Different People

    On the Social Web people expose the nature of their presence to different observers, to different groups of people with whom they are connected in different ways (for instance: co-workers, childhood friends, rugby partners, etc.). However, most often there is only a possibility to share one face with everybody and have the same online status [...]

  • Stars Shining Bright Above You

    The funny thing with dreams is that when they come true, you are usually unprepared. You nourish your dream; you do all you can for it to grow and someday become a reality, but when reality strikes; when your dream gets out of your hands, you are somehow left alone, without a dream in your [...]
