The Web's Most Ambitious Personal Data Project - Singly

The Web's Most Ambitious Personal Data Project - Singly | information analyst | Scoop.it

This article was written by Marshall Kirkpatrick for ReadWriteWeb

 

You make data. A lot of it. From Web browsing to link sharing to photos published online, from phone bills to medical records to online banking - almost all of us produce an incredible amount of electronic data that slips right through our fingers...

 

Here's What Went Live 10/19 In case you didn't see it: Very exciting!

 

Singly 1.0 began rolling out to developers Oct. 19, 2011

 

****Those first users will be able to build apps that search, sort and visualize contacts, links and photos that have been published by their own accounts on various social networks but also by all the accounts they are subscribed to there.

 

****Want to search the contents of every link shared by every person you're subscribed to on Twitter (at least as far back as Singly can access)?

 

****Want to make a slideshow of all the Instagram photos your contacts have posted that have a certain hashtag in them? Or were on a weekend? Or whatever other criteria you can think of? Those kinds of things are possible now.

Pervasive Connectivity & What We Can Do on the Web Will Shape Our Lives!

Pervasive Connectivity & What We Can Do on the Web Will Shape Our Lives! | information analyst | Scoop.it

Absolutely fascinating!

 

Intro:

 

In 2008 the number of devices connected to the Internet surpassed the number of people connected, and in 2020 there will be 50 billion things connected, 7 times the world’s population, according to Dave Evans of Cisco.

 

The infographic below highlights some of the key features of the Internet of things, including the pace of growth, how external data can be aggregated so that your alarm clocks, cars, and coffee makers make decisions to fit with your schedule, and that some cameras and computers are now just a cubic millimeter.

 

An amazing statistic is that by end of 2011, 20 typical households will generate more Internet traffic than the entire Internet in 2008. That is slightly unbelievable, and I would like to know how they define ‘typical’ and what data is generated for Internet communication.

 

However it is important to recognize that the Internet of things is one of the most important ways to understand our connected future. Pervasive connectivity, and the amazing things we will be able to do with that, will shape our lives.
