4 Ming the Mechanic: Static or dynamic web metaphors website, Internet, metaphor, wisdom, knowledge, Flemming Funch The metaphors we employ to travel the web are extremely pervasive, but almost invisible to most. Same thing with how we use computers in general. I'm sure a lot of folks can't imagine anything different than their computer having a "desktop", even though that's a strangely antiquated metaphor to use. Here we have a mindblowing amount of computational power, and software that can deal with a hundred dimensions just as easily as two, and then we model the whole thing around a copy of our desk, with folders and pieces of paper and a trashcan. With many of the same limitations our desk has, which is exactly what we need to go beyond. Seems silly, but habit is strong, and often we can't see anything other than what we're presented with, and what we're used to seeing. peek | visit add/edit

6 Clickstream Data Yields High-Resolution Maps of Science science, visualization, knowledge, maps Intricate maps of science have been created from citation data to visualize the structure of scientific activity. However, most scientific publications are now accessed online. Scholarly web portals record detailed log data at a scale that exceeds the number of all existing citations combined. Such log data is recorded immediately upon publication and keeps track of the sequences of user requests (clickstreams) that are issued by a variety of users across many different domains. Given these advantages of log datasets over citation data, we investigate whether they can produce high-resolution, more current maps of science. peek | visit add/edit

9 The Memory Hole [rescuing knowledge, freeing information] information, knowledge, internet, activism, conspiracy, history exists to preserve and spread material that is in danger of being lost, is hard to find, or is not widely known. Unlike the Wayback Machine/Internet Archive, which seeks to capture web information of all kinds at various points in time, the Memory Hole emphasizes preservation of "things that we're not supposed to know (or that we're supposed to forget)." This site could be useful in providing examples of materials deliberately pulled off the Internet for reasons of security or public relations. Searchers will be required to perform their due diligence in testing and evaluating materials sited, as this site has a decided bias. peek | visit add/edit
10 Hyperintelligence communication, Wikipedia, knowledge What happens after we’re all connected? This is a question that we never thought to ask as we wired the planet up with telegraph and telephone and radio and television and Internet. It’s a question we never think to ask as we unwire the planet with mobile telephones and wireless broadband. So, without even understanding our goals, we have seven hundred million individuals using the Internet, and somewhere over a billion carrying mobile phones. ..... Wikipedia is the first artifact of the age of hyperintelligence. It’s not just a scan of the books from the world’s biggest libraries. It’s far more than that. It’s the living embodiment of the human world inside our own heads – something that could never fit into the pages of any book. ... It seems as though we will not be satisfied with Wikipedia until we have plucked every bit of knowledge from the inside of every head on Earth, and placed it all within its bounds. peek | visit add/edit

20 A cognitive analysis of tagging knowledge management Tagging of content (especially in contrast to classification) is all the rage right now. It's great to see some thoughtful work such as Rashmi Sinha's cognitive analysis of tagging. As is the case with many other tools, tagging is popular because of the lower "cognitive costs", in essence meaning that there are fewer mental steps required to assign the metadata. I think her diagrams in particular are helpful in thinking this question through in more general terms. peek | visit add/edit
