Brainstorming about international communities
Jan.
16, 2003 (raw transcript) -- with Berthold Langer, manager of
IS Client Support Services at Avid Technology. Born in Germany, Berthold
has, like many expatriates, tried to stay in contact with his family, friends
and culture throughout his stay in the US or travels around the world.
With the commercialization of the Internet and the advent of the Web he
has found more and more ways to keep in touch and explore options to bridge
the gap. Prior to joining Avid, Berthold was a technical and marketing
consultant at Digital Equipment Corporation for over 10 years, where he
was an early member of Digital's Internet efforts. Berthold is a native
of Germany and lived in the USA for over 13 years now. I worked closely
with him in Digital's Internet Business Group, back 1994-96; and in January
1994, he and I put together the pioneering videotape "A Glimpse of the
Future", which helped wake up many companies to the business potential
of the Web. If you are in the mood for Internet nostalgia and have a fast
connection and the RealPlayer,

"Smart Mobs" by Howard Rheingold
Dec.
5 (raw transcript) -- with Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs
and The Virtual Community. In my review of Smart
Mobs, I wrote: "Even before the Web, Rheingold sensed the importance
of social interaction in his experiences with the online community at the
Well. He explored the implications of new kinds of behavior and relationships
on the Internet in his seminal book The Virtual Community. Now that much
of what he foresaw has become reality, he looks ahead at the changes likely
to transform our world -- socially, business-wise, and politically -- in
the next wave, based on wireless communication. Technology makes it possible
that wireless person-to-person interaction, without central control, and
with very inexpensive access available to all could change our world even
more profoundly than the Internet has."

July 5, 2001. We tested the capability of merging the capabilities
of PalTalk (telephony) to the Franklin Telephone Room and archiving of
same. People in the PalTalk room could hear the people talking in the telephone
room, and people in the telephone room could hear the people talking in
the PalTalk room, without confusion. An annoying background buzz interfered;
but discovering and fixing such problems was an important goal of the experiment.
That session prompted me to write a description/explanation of the importance
of Global Learn Day http://www.samizdat.com/mcluhan.html

What free stuff is left and why
February 15, 2001Februrary
22, 2001 What free stuff is left and why? Many companies used to offer
free stuff and services to quickly build a large audience, with the idea
of either selling advertising or selling the business based on the number
of registered users. With the dot-com stock market crash, lots of free
offers and the companies that depended on them have disappeared over the
last year. What's still available? What's useful? What isn't worth the
price? And what's the future of the Internet business model of giveaways?

Java Puzzle Cards
October 19, guest =
Scott Cramer, talking about Java puzzle cards, an interesting new app,
now in beta. On the one hand this goes one better than e-cards. You can
quickly create puzzles from any photo with whatever words you want right
on the image and email them. The recipient gets a URL that takes him/her
to a Web page where the pieces are scrambled. You click and drag to put
the pieces together (this is very slick). The puzzle solving is fun and
addictive (this is far is involving/participative, while e-cards are not).
And depending on the complexity (number of pieces chosen in the creation
process), it can be quite a surprise as the picture and the words come
together. These puzzle cards could have interesting benefits as part of
viral marketing campaigns and for early childhood education. Please try
it out at www.javapuzzlecards.com(This
works best from Windows PCs. There are still a few bugs to be worked out
for Macintosh).
