Auf der Konferenz Wikipedia - ein kritischer Standpunkt in Leipzig diskutieren Forscher verschiedener Wissenschaftsbereiche an diesem Wochenende die Funktion und Entwicklungen in der Online-Enzyklopädie Wikipedia. Am ersten Tag standen die Wikipedia als Politikum und die Politik in der Wikipedia im Vordergrund. Der Direktor der Leiziger Universitätsbibliothek Ulrich Johannes Schneider sieht in der Online-Enzyklopädie eine zwangsläufige Folge: "Enzyklopädien wollten immer ins Internet – in Büchern waren sie eigentlich immer falsch aufgehoben."

Video from the April 27th, 2009 Facebook Technology Tasting Event at Facebook Headquarters in Palo Alto. Mark Zuckerberg introduces the event, Dave Morin discusses the new Facebook Open Stream API, Justin Bishop demonstrates the all-new Facebook for Adobe AIR, and Luke Shepard discusses our plans around OpenID. We were also joined by members of the community Chris Messina, talking about ActivityStreams, and David Recordon, talking about OpenID. In addition, several launch partners joined us to talk about what they have already built on the Open Stream API. Including, Loic Le Muer from Seesmic and our friends from Microsoft and Adobe.

The goal is to bring the network to parity with the competition.
It appears the privacy debates are evolving in tandem with Social Media morphing into its next iteration, the Semantic Web. As we struggle to redefine privacy and transparency, how we access and utilize data will become a much more robust enterprise. Concurrently, as Facebook's Open Graph and "Like" buttons begin to define who we are, the essence of hyperlinks are metamorphosing into peoplelinks.
A simple story that illustrates the forces shaping social media. This video comes in an unbranded "presentation quality" version that can be licens...

SOPAC (Social Online Public Access Catalog) is a module for the Drupal CMS that provides true integration of your library catalog system with the power of the Drupal content management system while allowing users to tag, rate, and review your holdings. User input is then incorporated into the discovery index so that SOPAC becomes a truly community-driven catalog system.
