None of these concepts are that new: trust, information, and social network…… Why now they are so “in fashion?”

Ronald S. Burt’s article is here (PDF). Path-breaking work, you thought, it is just so – Chicago!

From Many-to-Many:

……first international symposium on wikis……will be held in San Diego in October. Ward Cunningham, the inventor and host of the original WikiWikiWeb, will present the opening keynote.

Anyone who is involved in using, researching, or developing wikis is invited to participate.

From TheWeblogProject:

The first open source, FREE, grassroots movie to support and promote the blogosphere

where featured stars, producers, fundraisers and actors are the bloggers themselves.

From Smart Mobs:

Gary Lerhaupt, one of the students in our now-completed Stanford course on “Literacy of Cooperation,” has provided a transcript that someone did of the audio recording of Jimmy Wales’ lecture on Wikipedia as a “technology of cooperation.”

The social and cultural movement that underlies cyberspace — a powerful and increasingly broad movement — is covering not toward any particular content but toward a form of communication that is unmediated, interactive, community based, nonhierarchical, and rhizomatic. Generalized interconnection, the hunger for virtual communities, the exaltation of collective intelligence — none of those constitute the elements of a political or cultural program in the classical sense of the term. Yet all three are secretly driven by two essential “values”: autonomy and an openness toward alterity.

From Shinkuro:

Use the Shinkuro software to share files across enterprise boundaries – securely. Just install the software on each machine, create a group and designate a folder you would like to share with the group. Any files you put in that folder will be shared with the other members automatically.

Shinkuro also includes secure instant messaging and secure screen sharing, to give you a complete collaboration environment. Shinkuro’s lightweight technology works easily with all of your applications.

Shinkuro runs on Windows 2000 and XP, Mac OS X “Panther”, Linux, and FreeBSD.

You have not slept well in last 24 hours. Looking at this flowchart certainly will not help.

From Joho the Blog:

At the beginning of next week, Technorati will launch a new tag aggregation feature: When you search on a tag, you’ll be shown a list of “related” tags. The relationships are automatically discerned by the software, analyzing the other tags used by people tagging the same set of pages and photos. Dave Sifry let me play with a beta of it, and the suggested tags were generally quite relevant.

On Seb’s Open Research, here is what he called “Social software programming challenge #2:”

The del.icio.us linklogging system lets people use labels called “tags” to describe the links they capture. The rich collective dataset of tags and the links they’re associated to enables the construction of something resembling a topic map, with tags as topics and links as occurrences.

Now, del.icio.us uses the right-hand column of tag-specific pages to list tags that are related to the current tag. The details of how relatedness is computed are not entirely clear, but it is probably derived from tag co-occurence in individual bookmarks. Browsing the tag landscape by clicking around tag-specific pages is interesting, but how much more fun would it be to be able to navigate a graphical, two-dimensional map of tags, à la musicplasma or audioscrobbler browser?
