What Google Will Do in China (SXSW Presentation)
In 2005 Google started to hire aggressively in China, he said. Kuo then talked about how Chinese censorship nowadays is almost all social media sites, such as social networks and microblogging sites. As long as you don't overstep certain boundaries (political activism and so forth), then the "will of the masses" is often expressed on the Internet through the likes of bulletin boards or social networks. Kaiser Kuo presented today at SXSW about Google in China. He spoke about how the Google situation will impact Chinese Internet users, other companies and the Chinese

  • Forwarding Is the New Networking
    Michael Schrage recently wrote a post on this site about the importance of forwarding information as a way to enhance network relationships. Forwarding is the new networking. OK, it's not really the new networking, since it's been going on for more than a decade now. He's right about this, although the title — "The Disadvantage of Twitter and Facebook" — is misleading (and inaccurate, since people retweet things all the time — but sadly, editors know that anything with Facebook and Twitter in the title gets a lot of page views and retweets). The fact that you

  • What Motivates You? Cooperation or Competition?
    There are different brain networks for cooperation and competition, and it's not surprising that some of us are more powerfully motivated by one approach than the other. Depending whether subjects were playing with or against another person, brain activation patterns differed. We'll blog on competition in a future post, but cooperation as a motivating preference is worthwhile mentioning. Cooperation activates orbitofrontal pathways, an area of the brain important for reward, motivation, emotional processing, and even "maternal feelings" ( here ).

In this first post of a series, we outline the most popular social network sites in China. There are 3 social networking sites that are clearly in the lead in China, according to Kaiser Kuo.

  • Slowdown of Activity in Australia
    What I'm seeing is mostly commercial content, federated networks, WebCT -- centralization. I guess this email is being circulated about in Australia so I may as well post it here so people know the source of my comment that e-learning seems to be slowing down there. Links have been embedded where in the original email they were spelled out.

  • The Paucity of Intelligent Design
    Or consider social network theory, an area transfixing information theorists. Mathematics, observation and analysis have combined to show how order can emerge spontaneously from networks of interconnected, autonomous, and (importantly) undirected entities - hordes of crickets, for example, chirp in chorus, not because of some design, but because they can hear each other chirp. Re: Why Intelligent Design Is Going to Win This must be comedy Friday at Tech Central Station. Well, let's go through the author's (*cough*) argument point by point.

  • More Adults Than Ever on Social Networks
    The share of adult internet users who are involved in social networking online has more than quadrupled in the past four years in the U.S. In 2005, only 8% of adults had a social network profile. Is it the opportunity to professionally network with their colleagues? As of December 2008, that number was 35%. What motivates those in older generations to go online?

  • The Anatomy Of The Twitter Attack
    In the security industry there is a generally accepted philosophy that no system or network is completely secure - a competent attacker with enough time, patience and resources will eventually find a way into a target. For Hacker Croll, his first port of call in setting out to gain access to a target network is to make use of public search engines and public information to build a profile of a company or individual. The Twitter document leak fiasco started with a simple story that personal accounts of Twitter employees were hacked. Twitter CEO Evan Williams commented on that story,

  • Ning Now Hosts 1 Million Social Networks
    Just last October, we reported that Ning hosted half a million social networks, and today, the social network provider announced that it has hit 1 million networks. Ning, which hosts custom social networks, was co-founded by Marc Andreesen and launched in 2005. And while 1 million networks definitely sounds impressive, only about a fifth of these are currently active. Of course, as is so often the case, while Ning now has about 22 million registered users , only 6.1 million of these are active users.

  • Web 2.0 Tools, Networks and Community (Individuals vs. Collective)
    This forms a big network of people linked first through content and eventually directly (in person or via social networking). Nancy raises the question of the fact that traditional online communities were bounded by the tool and the new big network is not contained within the tool. Her comment: New tools which allow a person to 'carry' their identity across a variety of online platforms and create their own personal networks suggest Nancy just created a post out of an article and presentation that I had linked to before: Full Circle Online Interaction Blog: Blogs and Community - launching a new paradigm for online community?
