Lean About Microsoft's "My Life Bits" Research Project
"I think we've got the Memex dream down," Gordon Bell told me when I greeted him at Microsoft Corp.'s downtown San Francisco laboratory. To technology aficionados his allusion would be instantly recognizable. "Memex" was a machine envisioned by Vannevar Bush, Franklin D. Roosevelt's science advisor, in a prophetic 1945 Atlantic Monthly article titled, "As We May Think." The device was an intriguing preconception of today's personal computer in which, as Bush wrote, "an individual stores all his books, records, and communications" for easy retrieval through a form of indexing based on the associative properties of the human mind." Bell's version, embodied in a system known as MyLifeBits (soon to be formally renamed "Memex") aims at nothing less than creating a digital archive of a person's entire life. You can learn more about MyLifeBits here.

Keeper of Expired Web Pages Is Sued Because Archive Was Used in Another Suit
"The Internet Archive was created in 1996 as the institutional memory of the online world, storing snapshots of ever-changing Web sites and collecting other multimedia artifacts. Now the nonprofit archive is on the defensive in a legal case that represents a strange turn in the debate over copyrights in the digital age."
See Also: Gary here. I've posted the full text of the complaint that was filed in the lawsuit on Search Engine Watch site. For those of you who don't know, I'm also the news editor at SEW.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
