ETHER is a new, collaborative blog by Jenny Ambrozek, Marcia Morante, and Lynne Bundesen. Jenny and Marcia are in my network -- but from different hubs -- and I do not yet know Lynne.
They have created a restful and thoughtful place, and begin with the perspective of the official closing of the Prodigy online communities. The world has become web-ified since those communities began, but the lessons and much of the perspective continue to inform. (0) comments
thebigidea posts the transcript of a New Zealand National Radiointerview with Dave Snowden. Dave tells about his work with the US agencies trying to understand 9/11 and about sense-making across cultures. He also tells the great story about the West Point Cadets who were given a week to prepare to manage a playground. It's a good intro to Dave's thinking and the way that his own stories, in particular, create a new way of looking at the world. posted by Patti | permalink (click to comment)(0) comments
Keith Hampton's Homepage includes a new blog. I am familiar with Keith's work in social network analysis in a Toronto suburb that was wired for Internet access. I liked hearing Barry Wellmen talk about Keith's field work -- Keith actually lived in this suburb for a couple of years as it was built and watched how the relationships developed and the impact of being on the Internet -- the density of ties was greater than that in control communities because people were able to communicate from farther away than across the street and backyard fences. posted by Patti | permalink (click to comment)(0) comments Monster.com gets into the networking act Monster To Debut Networking For Job Seekers reports that Monster.com, which was one of the first web site job aggregators, is launching networking services for professionals. No word on how much it will cost, yet, nor how it will differentiate itself. Just another signpost on the road to a too-networked world? posted by Patti | permalink (click to comment)(0) comments
Entopia is a content management system I first looked at at KMWorld in 2002. I spoke with one of the developers, and asked about whether the software constructed network maps of people based on the documents that they created or interested in. Igor Perisic, Entopia's research director, indicated an interest in the topic of social network analysis and the potential for Entopia to create maps based on data that the software already collected.
Imagine my surprise at KMWorld last week when I saw a demo, not just of a prototype, but of a completed module added to Entopia and announced last week! Of course, the network map produced by Entopia only provides a suggestion of the potential social connections -- but a good starting point for finding the hubs, connectors, and holes. (0) comments
