Japen’s 3Di, Inc., best known for their browser-based OpenSim viewers, will be testing a new, free, public, Unity-based virtual world this weekend, called 3Di Cloud. According to 3Di senior manager Norman Lin, individuals and groups will be able to embed a window into their private virtual world right onto their websites, like they can now embed YouTube videos. This part isn’t new — ReactionGrid’s Jibe is also a Unity-based world that runs in the browser and can be embedded in a webpage, and so can the OpenSim viewer plugin from SpotON3D. What’s different here is that the 3Di Cloud product has a free version.

from the website "inklewriter is a free tool designed to allow anyone to write and publish interactive stories. It’s perfect for writers who want to try out interactivity, but also for teachers and students looking to mix computer skills and creative writing. "The inklewriter lets you write as you play, branching the story with choices, and then linking those stories back together again. It keeps track of which paths you’ve finished, and which still need to be written. There’s no set-up, no programming, no drawing diagrams. Just start writing and see where it takes you. Oh, and it’s free to use. And once written, you can share your stories with whomever you like."

Les deux termes OpenData et OpenGov sont trop souvent confondus, et pour cause : leurs racines "ouvertes" sont communes. Les deux concepts puisent leurs origines dans le monde de l'OpenSource et du logiciel libre ...et dans les valeurs qui y sont associées. Mais tandis que le premier concerne les données, l'autre est un concept politique définissant un mode de gouvernance ouvert. Tout pour comprendre le sens et les implications de ces deux termes.

Even though "social network" has became a trending topic in our daily life, it was there since the very beginning of computing. The form of information exchange maybe different, but end result was pretty much the same.

As our content is scattered across sites like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, the idea of a single, standalone website is starting to feel a bit quaint. On the consumer side, we’re seeing that with products like About.me and Flavors.me, which try to unify your various social identities in one place. Now a digital agency called Sparkart is tackling the probably from the brand and business side, with a product called Storyteller. Sparkart founder and CEO Naveen Jain says that Storyteller “is not a toy” — you need basic development skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to use it, because you’re building sites that have the branding and functionality that you want. Right now, he says a website developers want to integrate content from other sites, they have to either manually integrate with the API of each and every site, or wait for their content management system to add the relevant upgrade or plug-in. Then, once they’re integrated, they’d have to keep track of any changes to the API and its policies. With Storyteller, on the other hand, they can access data from other sites while the platform does all the “heavy lifting.”

"...I want to point out that people with better PKM skills, an ability to create higher value information, and a willingness to share it, will become more valued members (nodes) in their professional networks." (Harold Jarche) Robin Good: In this short article analyzing the PKM (personal knowledge management) process it is interesting to note the strong affinity it has with curation. "The critical part of PKM is in personalizing information and experience, or to use a business term, adding value. Ross Dawson shows five ways to add value to information (my examples/descriptions follow): 1) Filtering (separating signal from noise, based on some criteria) 2) Validation (ensuring that information is reliable, current or supported by research) 3) Synthesis (describing patterns, trends or flows in large amounts of information) 4) Presentation (making information understandable through visualization or logical presentation) 5) Customization (describing information in context)." More info and examples presented in the article do not seem to include yet the appearance of a trusted news curator as a means to develop such PKM, which although is defined as "an individually created process", it could rely in the near future not just on tools, but also on the filtering and curation work of other humans. Or not?
Thoughtful. 8/10. Full article: http://www.jarche.com/2010/03/sense-making/ ;

Robin Good: Clipix is a Pinterest-like clipping and collection app which allows you to capture images and content from any web page and to organize it in custom visual boards.
One key feature that differentiates Clipix from Pinterest (though it is likely that Pinterest will add this feature soon as well) is the ability to organize together multiple sets into a "multiboard". Other key features include a "Price Drop Alert" which emails you when the price of one of the commercial products you have clipped drops and
"...For example you might have a multiboard that you call “Recipe Ideas” and inside you’d have 3 clipboards: Baking Recipes, Soup Recipes, and Health Recipes. The easiest way to create a multiboard is by dragging one clipboard from the icon in the lower right-hand corner into another clipboard."

"That's right - you can serve up data from your Google Apps Script directly. In my post the other day, I showed how to use the Google Apps ScriptDB as a place to store the Rest-Excel library. Now ideally, you'd want to get that out again by making a simple API call - but we dont have a server. With the new Google Apps Script ContentService, you dont need one."

The crux of the matter is simple: Around half of Twitter users are using the service as a supersimplified RSS reader, not as a mechanism for broadcasting their own thoughts to an uncaring world. Since the company wants to grow — and wants to continue to grow more mainstream — it’s in its best interests to make Twitter the simplest, best RSS reader anyone could ask for. And today’s announcements about finding and following topics take the product a bit closer to that goal.
