That Time of Year again... yep, allergies. (Dec 01 2003 04:11 GMT) - It's allergy season for the Lunatic! Or something like that! You see, when it is summer, the doors and windows are closed, because the air conditioning is on, and the cats aren't free-range cats. So, the allergens stay out of the house for the most part, and are pretty much filtered up anyway. However, in the winter, I leave my window more or less open all the time. |

Data Emergence (Dec 01 2003 04:05 GMT) - Robin Good has a fascinating post on personal knowledge mapping, with a goal "to define, draft and invent tools and approaches that would facilitate a tacit knowledge creation/sharing mechanisms while not adding extra layers of work and responsibility to every knowledge worker in the organization." A quote from Snell: Any Web site should become nothing more than a set of raw data feeds while knowledge workers would be provided with a personal software tool that would allow to: 1) maintain a database of personal information. 2) selectively share that data with anybody I choose. |

Social Capital as Credit (Dec 01 2003 04:05 GMT) - Ross Mayfield writes: Social capital, or aggregate (connected) reputation, is a form of credit. Some formal transactions can be supported by social capital. Informal transactions are rarely underpinned by financial credit or legal agreement and instead rely entirely social capital. We all have our internal calculators keeping tacit track of who is wronging and righting, the health of the relationships and adjusting our actuarial tables according to experience. |
