On the “social web” or “web2.0″, where user participation is entirely voluntarily, User Motivation has been identified as a key factor in the mechanisms contributing to the success of tagging systems. Web researchers are trying to identify the reasons why tagging systems work for a couple of years now, evident in, for example, the organization of a panel at CHI 2006 and a number of conferences and workshops on this topic.
MSTROHM: "Why lists won't become superfluous."
The list is the origin of culture. It's part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order -- not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, through collections in museums and through encyclopedias and dictionaries.

In the case of Google, both things do converge. Google makes a list, but the minute I look at my Google-generated list, it has already changed. These lists can be dangerous -- not for old people like me, who have acquired their knowledge in another way, but for young people, for whom Google is a tragedy.

"Ken Robinson Ph.D. “One climate crisis is probably enough for you right now. I think there is another one. This one is just as urgent as and has implications just as far-reaching as the crisis we’re seeing in the natural world. This isn’t a crisis of natural resources. It is a crisis of human resources. I think of this as the other climate crisis."

Twitter's retention rate lower than Facebook's/Myspace
"Twitter has enjoyed a nice ride over the last few months, but it will not be able to sustain its meteoric rise without establishing a higher level of user loyalty. Frankly, if Oprah can’t accomplish that, I’m not sure who can."
"Beständigkeit liegt nur im Wandel" - diesen alten Schopenhauer-Aphorismus bestätigten jetzt Kulturwissenschaftler, Psychologen und Biologen in einer gemeinsamen Studie. Die vier Forscher untersuchten die Beliebtheit von Namen, Musik und Hunderassen und fanden heraus, dass es in allen Bereichen eine ähnliche Turnover-Rate gibt.
The irony is that Web 2.0 has been heralded as the dawn of a new era of community and togetherness. Through the financial eyes of a venture capitalist, this may appear to be true. For the rest of us, what this means is that community is now available to m
This extraordinary collection of word games, visual tricks, and intellectual assaults on the conventional is a treasure trove of the artistic and socio-linguistic conundrums which the Surrealists cultivated. Of great value to teachers, comedy writers, and
