Social Social Networks: Deodorant for the Soul? (Nov 30 2004 23:32 GMT) - As the world gets more commoditized, as content proliferates and loses distinctiveness, as anything you want can be syndicated anywhere (eBay, Amazon.com and Google are converging), you can still count on individual people to be special and unique. The killer app for people online is...other people online. It's in their relations with others that individuals manifest themselves, so the best way to help or 'manage' an individual is to foster the individual's relations with others. |

The Semantic Earth (Nov 30 2004 23:32 GMT) - Every business in the world is headquartered on earth. Every employee works somewhere. Every customer is at some location at every moment. Every product is delivered to some spot and every service is performed at some coordinates. Every transaction involves at least one place and usually more than one. |

Software on the Brain (Nov 30 2004 23:32 GMT) - Most of the software you use every day harbors a functional theory of how the mind works. It's not the most sophisticated theory you'll find, and it needs some updating, but it's not without its subtleties. The graphical interface revolution, after all, was predicated on a crucial insight about the way the brain forms and archives memories. Cognitive scientists have long recognized that our visual memory is better than our textual memory, because primates happened to evolve unusually acute visual systems, while written language depends on learned behavior. The shift from the command line to the desktop was, ultimately, a response to that strange property of the brain's wiring: |

Triumph of the Ants: Small Business Online (Nov 30 2004 23:32 GMT) - A couple of years ago, the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> ran a story (no doubt by a small female reporter) about the secret phenomenon of small women buying their clothes in the kids' department. The clothes were sturdier, better-fitting, less fashion-extreme...and cheaper. |

once-upon-a-blog : Le départ le plus lent du monde (Nov 30 2004 23:31 GMT) - Comment louper sa soirée : en ne me décidant pas à choisir ce que j'allais faire ce soir, finalement je n'ai rien fait de précis, j'ai presque regardé Thésis, presque revu Equilibrium, presque fait du sport et je me suis presque couché à une heure décente. Finalement la seule chose que j'ai réellement faite ce soir, c'est de lancer ce blog, quoiqu'à voir où je vais m'arrêter on dira que je l'ai presque débuté... Voilà la leçon du soir : pour avancer sérieusement, choisir de n'aller que dans une direction à la fois. |

la-maraudeuse : Seize the day... (Nov 30 2004 23:31 GMT) - Hum ce soir je choisis un magnifique rouge vif pour écrire mon article. Ben vi, voyez, j'ai revu il y a peu de temps le film "le Cercle des poètes disparus", de Peter Weir, en VO, s'il vous plaît ^^. Et je ne peux pas m'empêcher d'en parler, c'est plus fort que moi. Le message qui passe est si fort... Enfin une scène me marque surtout, c'est au début quand ils sont dans le hall, devant les anciennes photos. |

mesmaux : Les yeux dans le vide (Nov 30 2004 23:31 GMT) - J'ai toujours la même boule au ventre et la même envie de pleurer. J'ai pas mal d'absence, de ces absences où l'on ne voit plus rien, où l'on n'est plus dans le même monde que les autres. Je suis à la racine de la douleur, je suis là où tout ce mal que je ressens me crache à la gueule et me fait perdre toute notion de réalité. Et dire que je voudrai que ce soit lui qui me console. Celui qui fait mal est souvent aussi celui qui peut panser les blessures. |

NetZero's AOL bashing ad spoof (Nov 30 2004 23:31 GMT) - Slate, after already criticising AOL's lame "You got it" ads, goes on to praise NetZero's parodies of AOL's ads. "In the last 'Ad Report Card,' I chided AOL for its lame new campaign (and lamer business model). I said AOL was screwed because other dial-up providers, such as NetZero, offer a near-identical service for much less money. Apparently, NetZero's not at all afraid to kick a brand when it's down." The ads are in the archive: |
