'What does the brain do when we day dream, our mind wanders, our thoughts flit from one thing to another, or we seem to be mentally “idling”? Some evidence has accumulated during the past 30 years that implicates the involvement of an intrinsic default network in the brain: an anatomically defined network which includes the medial temporal lobe and medial prefrontal subsystems and posterior cingulate cortex. Functionally, this network supports a baseline, so-called default, mode of cortical activity that engages when externally directed thought is absent (stimulus-independent thought) and also possibly during watchfulness towards the external environment (stimulus-orientated thought). Brain activity in this default system seems to be inversely related to activity in another intrinsic network, the “attention system”, which is activated during goal-directed cognition. These networks have been explored mainly using brain imaging, but—though at first sight incongruous—could doodles, and the doodling that produces them, provide another way of probing the default network and the brain functions it supports? Although of enduring interest to the public and to teachers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and many in the humanities, doodles have received little attention from neuroscientists. Because of the circumstances in which they are often produced, however, doodles and doodling might reveal insights about how the brain functions, notably when in “idling” mode."

Journalists have been curating content for years. It's always been an integral part of our news gathering.
We may not have called it curation, but we were doing it all the same. It's in our DNA. Technological advances have simply made the task of finding, storing, enhancing, publishing and sharing valuable news assets easier. I started curating content 35 years ago as a junior newspaper reporter. The rules are the same now as they were in the days before computers. And it's important to remember this as curation tools become more and more part of our daily lives. They are just that, tools, the journalist still needs to dig in order to find the material they want to curate and then needs to ask the basic questions of who, why, where, when, what and how.

Great piece by Brian Solis who is one of my favorite people.....he never disappoints. This sums it up and it's profound - Facebook has the social graph and this hits all of us where we live: “Timeline is the story of your life,” said Mark Zuckerberg “All your stories, all your apps, express who you are.” For those who focus on the debate between Facebook, Google Plus and Twitter are missing the true story. Today at Facebook’s f8 developer conference we were reminded of the what the story really is, It's about you and me............ Excerpt: “For the first time ever in a single day we had 500 million people use Facebook” – Mark Zuckerberg No, it’s not about features, capabilities, or the number of users. Profound! We were reminded about the power of something much more important, our experiences, relationships, the content we create and share and how each paint a picture of who we are as individuals. Today Facebook introduced features for its users and developers alike that position Facebook not as a social network, but instead as a platform for storytelling and meaningful engagement. How is this different than the profile you’ve come to know over the years? The team at Facebook explains… Timeline is a new kind of profile, one that lets people tell their story in a visually-rich and artistic fashion. In addition to aesthetics, Timeline is essentially a social home page for all that moves you, from media to experiences to people. The biggest difference you’ll notice is presentation. Starting with the substantial image that you choose to depict your persona, the new format essentially turns your profile into a Flipboard-esque (magazine) pictorial rich with updates, content, and connections…all designed to tell your story, your way. Don’t be confused by the name however, Timeline is much more than that, it’s essentially a storyboard for your digital and real life as told by what you share and what others share with you. http://www.briansolis.com/2011/09/the-new-facebook-a-timeline-for-personal-discovery/

Depuis son lancement, le 28 juin 2011, Google+ a suscité beaucoup d'attention et s’avère un beau succès : il a connu la croissance la plus rapide jamais enregistrée pour un réseau social, alors qu'il n'était même pas encore disponible au public Publié le 23 septembre 2011.
A logical and exciting way to share news with your friends, just by clicking on their picture in your Facebar: "Once a user opts into the service (via the new Facebook permissions screen), she will be able to see what news stories her friends have read on both Facebook and Yahoo News. This simple two-way stream of information makes it possible to discover news content through your friends." If you read any news item in Facebook or Yahoo, click on the picture of one of your friends and see what they have been reading. Brings News sharing into the 21st Century! http://mashable.com/2011/09/22/facebook-yahoo-news/

Too many companies scatter their social media presence across disparate accounts and platforms at the expense of real community. Here's how to consolidate and set clear guidelines as you grow your brand's social footprint. *** "While the pressures on large organizations to use social media have gone up, creating a social media presence has reached one-click simplicity. The result is a sprawling mess. *** Take one look at the social media footprint of any large brand and you find dozens of social sites that lie abandoned with no active engagement. Many are redundant, fracturing the same potential audience into separate, so-called “communities.” And the bigger the organization, the bigger the problem. In one recent project, my company found our client had close to 150 Facebook pages, more than 65 YouTube channels and 100 Twitter feeds. Recent data from the Altimeter Group confirms the issue, with the average organization maintaining 178 social accounts."

Si, comme nous l’avons vu, les technologies 2.0 sont une voie royale vers l’accroissement del’efficacité collective, il est des besoins propres aux travailleurs du savoir qu’elles n’adressent pasdirectement. En effet, si les wikis permettent par exemple de rédiger un document à plusieursmains, cette manière de travailler est encore rare dans les entreprises, la plupart du temps l’employése retrouve seul face à son ouvrage, contraint d’avancer coûte que coûte. Les technologies 2.0l’aideront certes à localiser le « matériau » nécessaire à sa tâche, tout comme elles lui permettrontde rester en contact avec des experts de l’organisation. Pourtant toute la phase rédactionnelle et lescompétences qu’elle suppose en termes de gestion du temps, d’utilisation des informations récoltéeset d’écriture, reste à la seule charge du travailleur du savoir, individu finalement isolé qui doitsavoir s’organiser pour rendre dans les temps le meilleur travail possible. En résumé, lestechnologies 2.0 permettent de tirer partie du réseau mais ne font pas le travail à notre place…

(BOOK): "Wikipedia's style of collaborative production has been lauded, lambasted, and satirized. Despite unease over its implications for the character (and quality) of knowledge, Wikipedia has brought us closer than ever to a realization of the centuries-old pursuit of a universal encyclopedia. Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia is a rich ethnographic portrayal of Wikipedia's historical roots, collaborative culture, and much debated legacy."
