Naturally, people are fascinated by this question of "where's the money?" But it's the wrong question. The more interesting one is "why the money"? And it's still gonna take us a long time to get our heads around that. But that's what we're all gonna be asking at some point. The more effective the internet and the web are at helping us communicate and co-ordinate, the less money will be involved. Because ultimately the economy is a communication network and money is its protocol The network is not the means to the end of money. emmineb Fri, 16 Feb 2007 17:49:15 GMT http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/24748/?a=f The study of social networks has thrown up more than a few surprises over the years. It's easy to imagine that because the links that form between various individuals in a society are not governed by any overarching rules, they must have a random structure. So the discovery in the 1980s that social networks are very different came as something of a surprise. In a social network, most nodes are not linked to each other but can easily be reached by a small number of steps. This is the so-called small worlds network. emmineb Sat, 06 Feb 2010 10:42:57 GMT http://www.teleatlas.com/MapInsight/index.htm Tele Atlas uses a unique approach to update our maps, including the latest mobile mapping technology, professional drivers and tens of thousands of data sources to provide you with the freshest, richest, and most accurate map data available. emmineb Tue, 20 Mar 2007 07:57:08 GMT http://www.digitallantern.net/mcluhan/mcluhanplayboy.htm In 1961, the name of Marshall McLuhan was unknown to everyone but his English students at the University of Toronto--and a coterie of academic admirers who followed his abstruse articles in small-circulation quarterlies. But then came two remarkable books-- "The Gutenberg Galaxy" (1962) and "Understanding Media" (1964)--and the graying professor from Canada's western hinterlands soon found himself characterized by the San Francisco Chronicle as "the hottest academic property around." He has since won a world-wide following for his brilliant--and frequently baffling--theories about the impact of the media on man; and his name has entered the French language as mucluhanisme, a synonym for the world of pop culture. emmineb Thu, 24 May 2007 11:03:07 GMT http://infosthetics.com/archives/2007/05/touchgraph_amazon_browser.html an interactive network visualization that aims to reveal the intricate network structure within purchase pattern recommendations. users can explore related books or albums, see how similar items form clusters around common subjects, & discover how the clusters themselves are connected within the information space. it seems the visual information design & interactive features have been dramatically enhanced since their first google browser version about 2 years ago. emmineb Fri, 25 May 2007 08:10:44 GMT http://www.10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html Welcome to 10 Minute Mail.

Its online satellite map of the world, Google Earth, is being used to help people survive sectarian violence in Baghdad. As the communal bloodshed has worsened, some Iraqis have set up advice websites to help others avoid the death squads. One tip - on the Iraq League site, one of the best known - is for people to draw up maps of their local area using Google Earth's detailed imagery of Baghdad so they can work out escape routes and routes to block. It's another example of the central role technology plays in the conflict - with the widespread use of mobile phones, satellite television as well as the internet - by all sides and for many purposes. emmineb Sat, 17 Feb 2007 11:29:23 GMT http://www.shirky.com/ NEC@Shirky.com -- Networks, Economics, and Culture NEC is a mix of essays written for the list, essays written for other outlets, drafts of ideas I’m pursuing, and reader commentary (re-printed only with permission, of course).
