- Scott Rosenberg’s Wordyard » Blog Archive » How Twitter makes blogs smarter
Quote: Today, at any rate, those who wish to share quotidian updates have a more efficient channel with which to share them. This clarifies the place of blogs as repositories for our bigger thoughts and ideas and for more lasting records of our own experiences and observations.

The Duine Framework is a (collection of) software libraries that allows developers to create prediction engines for their own applications. A prediction engine is a component that predicts how interested individual users are in pieces of information. Such predictions can be used to personalise information to users, specifically in recommending to users what information is and is not of interest to them.

- Real-time systems hurting long-term knowledge?
Quote: "The other night Jeremiah Owyang told me that thought leaders should avoid spending a lot of time in Twitter or FriendFeed because that time will be mostly wasted. If you want to reach normal people, he argued, they know how to use Google.And if you want to get into Google the best device — by far — is a blog. Yes, FriendFeed is pretty darn good too (it better be, it was started by a handful of superstars who left Google to start that company) but it isn’t as good as a blog and, Jeremiah argues, my thoughts were lost in the crowd most of the time anyway."

- The Nike Experiment: How the Shoe Giant Unleashed the Power of Personal Metrics
Quote: "The gist of the idea is that people change their behavior—often for the better—when they are being observed (which is why it’s sometimes called the observer effect). Those workers at Western Electric didn’t build more relays because there was more or less light or because they had more or fewer breaks. The Hawthorne effect posits that they built more relays simply because they knew someone was keeping track of how many relays they built."

Quote: "There are three steps: you start with a small seed application on your own server, you make it world-writeable so that it can modify itself, and then you link it to a paid account on the Fever website. The complete application is pushed to your server without your intervention, and you’re off to the races. I’m fairly certain I’ve never seen anything quite like this before: usually PHP/MySQL software is more like Reblog or WordPress, where you unpack the thing as a complete unit, install the database and so on yourself, and do your own configuration."

Quote: "Google, I want you to give me a button labeled “Compress into diamonds.” When I click that button, spin your little algorithmic wheels and turn my reader into a personalized Memeorandum. Show me the most linked-to items in the bunch, and show me which of my feeds are linking to them. And take it a step further. You’ve got all that trends data that reflects the items I’m reading. Underneath the hood might very well be data about the links I click on in those posts. Use that information about me to compress my unread items into diamonds I will find uniquely wonderful."
