Wer oder was ist Sascha Lobo, Felix Schwenzel auf Netzpiloten
Diskussion über “Digitales Gedächtnis: Wir brauchen eine europäische Suchmaschine” auf Google+, Christoph Kappes
“Ich werde mir also weiterhin Bücher, Musik und Freunde empfehlen lassen, womöglich eines Tages Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen, wie es das IBM jetzt schon tut. Es lässt sich nicht aufhalten. Aber um die totale Verwechslung meines autonomen, von Assoziationen und Erinnerungen geprägten Bewusstseins mit dem Netz der Zukunft zu vermeiden, gibt einen sehr einfachen Ausweg, den wir in allen anderen Bereichen auch zu Recht immer fordern: wie kommst Du zu Deinen Schlüssen? Wie liest Du mich? Warum soll ich jetzt, laut meinem Googlemail Account ein Buch von Jeff Jarvis kaufen (na ja, den Algorithmus versteh auch ich noch)? Das ist eine ganze einfache, geradezu klassische Machtfrage, die schon ganze Religionen erschüttert hat. Da Google das niemals freiwillig tun wird, die Idee eine Konkurrenz aufzubauen. Wahrscheinlich hat Google aber längst vorausgesehen, das die nette Spinnerei in seinen unendlichen Bibliotheken unter Apokryphen eingeordnet werden wird.” Frank Schirrmacher
The Decline and Fall of Facebook, I, Cringely
“My interest is in what follows Facebook, which I think must be its disintermediation by all of us reclaiming our personal data, possibly through our embracing the very HTML5 that Roger loves so much. The trend is clear from “the computer is the computer” through “the network is the computer” to what’s next, which I believe is “the data is the computer.” You’ll notice I didn’t mention Apple. Black swan.“
Search = Content? A Case for Google as a Media Company, Mediashift
“Media companies have "much more to learn [from Google] than Google has to learn from them," Auletta told me. "They have to bring engineers into more prominence in these media companies, and listen to those engineers. Because in the new world, the engineer is really a content creator. If that engineer who created Facebook allows you to spend two hours a day on Facebook, which many people do, that engineer is a content creator."”
Suppressed report on raided file-sharing community reveals users as big-spending entertainment purchasers, BoingBoing
“The GfK source says that the study shows "If you download films, you have an increased interest in the cinema", which only highlights how stupid it would be for the authorities to carry out their implied threat of prosecuting Kino.to users.”
So What the Hell Are We Supposed to Put on Google+, Gizmodo
“What Twitter and Facebook and Foursquare and the rest failed to take into account is that that we want to have secrets from our friends. We want to share this piece of data—be it a party photo or status update or ultrasound image or current location—selectively with a small tight-knight group. We want to semi share it. Google+ finally lets you do that. Which has the capacity to make it really, really interesting, and really really vital. So please. Stop being so fucking boring.”
