Open Social How To

What are you so excited about? Submitted by Tom Kephart on Wed, 02/20/2008 - 18:14. exciting new tech Open Source social networking Until about a month ago, I considered myself to be fairly up-to-date on what was happening with new technology, open source, social networking, and so on. If there was a buzzword a-buzzin’, I thought I knew about it.

If we lived in a perfect world, we could design a learning system that would do everything right the first time and serve us perfectly forever after. However, in such a world, we could never get to the system which tends to evolve in similar ways organisms evolve. New revs mutate and some mutations are more suitable to the current environment so they survive. That’s how we got some of the best in Web2.0 design inspite of the mirriad of Web2.0 mutations that didn’t make it. In other words, this

There are some interesting things going on in the world of Instant Messaging these days. There is potentially going to be a shift from proprietary networks to ones built on an open standard called Jabber (aka XMPP, Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol).

For years, the first three operated proprietary, closed protocols. If you are logged in to A

“Ooh, sexy title,” is what you’re thinking, I know. Anyway, with my compulsive habit these days of installing WordPress plugins, I downloaded Social Bookmarks Reloaded. A great start, mind you, but lacking in a couple of areas. The great thing about open source is you don’t have to sit around griping about software not doing what you want.

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different Here’s how it works. It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME. The rules are simple — be nice. There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it. Where do we find ‘em? . . . clients, customers, and sponsors? Are th

Sports Marketing 2.0 Summit February 19th, 2008 by Webmaster Late last week, Paul Walker spoke to the New York office about crowdsourcing and the general open source mentality that is further perpetuating itself in marketing communications, interpersonal communication and technology development. I got a chance earlier in the same week to witness a unique model of the “open source philosophy” in action. On February 12, I attended a Sports Marketing 2.0 Summit in New York City hosted by Pat Co

The Center for History and New Media at George Mason University will be holding THATCamp (The Humanities and Technology Camp), May 31 and June 1, 2008. Sponsored by CHNM and the podcasts Digital Campus and THAT Podcast, this event will be an “unconference” on digital humanities. An unconference is an event where the participants decide what the sessions should be about on a day-to-day basis, rather than by the organizers in advance. In that sense, this will be a truly open source event. THATCam

Social Network Outages, oh my! Rants, Technology 3 Comments » We were talking earlier today on Pownce about a lot of the micro-blogging and social “heartbeat” networking sites having periods of downtime lately. It’s probably just some growing pains as more people start to use them. And since they are all more of a “pulse” setup, they are using the networks differently than a page of information at a time. I think it was Friday, Twitter was unresponsive, then yesterday, Pownce and then th
