[solitude.dk | Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology.] Of course it would be more valuable to look at del.icio.us in general, but I wanted to look at Wikipedia entries only. Traditional historic entries, something that I have almost exclusively used encyclopedias for in the past, generally aren't bookmarked by others (American Civil War and Leonardo da Vinci are the exceptions) and the few contemporary geek articles I've bookmarked are all scored high.
Wiki-Promotion, Pocky, and Out of Context Conversations
[The Yellow Peril] There's MITSUWA over on Saratoga Ave/Moorpark, and they have an aisle for all those Pocky kinds of candy and sweets. They may have the green-tea flavor of Kit Kat, too...
[Evolving Trends] Web 3.0: the term “Web 3.0”³ is merely the dictionary word “Web” followed by the number “3”³, a decimal point and the number “0.” As such, it has no commercial significance. Its original use by myself to refer to the Semantic Web is intended to help crystalize and popularize the vision for the Semantic Web, which we owe to Tim Berners-Lee (the inventor of the Web and the originator of the Semantic Web concept.)

[Chip’s Quips] Do you need Dictionary.com on one tab and Wikipedia on another in order to read this site? July 18th, 2006 by sterling I guess my content’s brow stands a little higher than Randy’s. Even so, seventh to tenth grade falls well beneath my target audience, I should think. Test your site’s readability, and read the explanations for the last three scores. Did you follow that?

[if:book] the feed is here, though the speed at which the Wikipedia changes suggests that you may no longer see these edits. This is actually two entries (the newest first) documenting a change that I made: I noticed that one of her books had been categorized incorrectly so I moved it to the correct category.

[Constructing the Digital Universe] Wikipedia or the Digital Universe? July 14th, 2006 by Larry Sanger Who has the better vision? That’s what Alice LaPlante of InformationWeek asks. I responded at the bottom of the article.
[Evolving Trends] Las maquinas (o más bien el razonamiento basado en maquinas, también conocido como Software IA o ”˜agentes de información’) podrÃan entonces usar las laboriosas -mas no completamente manuales- ontologÃas elaboradas para construir una vista (o modelo formal) sobre como los términos individuales, en un determinado conjunto de información, se relacionan entre sÃ. Tales relaciones se pueden considerar como axiomas (premisas básicas), que junto con las reglas que gobiernan el proceso de inferencia permiten a la vez que limitan la interpretación (y el uso correctamente-formado) de dichos términos por parte de los agentes de información, para poder razonar nuevas conclusiones basándose en la información existente, es decir, pensar.
[ StrayPackets] Rob Hyndman picks up the thread that began with Wikipedia’s inept handling of Ken Lay’s death. Defending Wikipedia, he notes that the “article was corrected within a few days”¦” and suggests Wikipedia’s critics see that as a “bad thing ”” better to not have the article at all, than to have it within a matter of days”¦” Well, yes.
[The News is NowPublic.com | NowPublic.com: The News is Now Public] As originally conceived by Henry Sylvestre-Williams (note: some history books credit this idea to Edward Wilmot Blyden) pan-Africanism referred to the unity of all continental Black African cultures and countries. The concept soon expanded, however, to include all Black African-descended people worldwide, who had been dispersed to the United States of America, the Caribean, Latin America and even parts of the Middle East and South Asia through the trans-Atlantic and Islamic/East African slave trades and, later, immigration.
[robhyndman.com] Today brings a strange WaPo article on the supposed weakness of Wikipedia because several of the original contributions on Ken Lay after his death were inaccurate, even intentionally so. The article was corrected within a few days of his death, and that, WaPo would have us believe, is a bad thing - better to not have the article at all, than to have it within a matter of days, I suppose.
[The Pro-Am Revolution] I’ve got a review of Yochai Benkler’s book The Wealth of Networks in todays Financial Times Magazine. The link to pro-ams in Benkler’s work comes through his analysis of social production. As I say in the review: “Benkler argues that the internet is making obvious an existing form of exchange - social sharing - and taking it from the periphery to the mainstream of the economy. Conventional economics can’t explain why volunteer-generated projects such as Wikipedia or open-source software, which are given away for free, have been so successful. He proposes his own theory of “social production” - “commons-based peer production” - to fill the gap.” The full review is here...
[Youtube.com] From captainpeppito: A couple of my friends and I were on our way to see Prince in concert. As we were getting closer to our hotel destination, we spotted a giant, inflatable dancing man. I felt like he was biting my style. So, I got out of the car and approached him. The second that we met eye to eye, I KNEW it was on. The camera was rolling, and the dance off began. Who won? YOU be the judge! , tagged with Jason captainpeppito dance-off inflatable sky-dancer fight wikipedia
[Technopod] When “I, Leftover” uses Skype, he’s not only saving money, but also helping to bring free voice to everybody, by making Skype possible (because of Skype’s p2p nature).
