Reboot 8.0 Photos Are Up

I spend the morning going through my photos of Reboot 8.0. I had near 800 of them, so that was quite the exercise. Now there’s 147 in a set over at my Flickr account. It was nice to relive the whole experience while going through the shots, made me realize I saw and did a [...]

Reboot 8.0 Post Mortem

I’m back in Utrecht after a few great days in Copenhagen. Reboot 8.0 was surprisingly good this year. I was afraid it wouldn’t measure up to the awesome quality of last year, but I was wrong. Perhaps this year was even better. I’ll have to digest everything a little more before I can say for [...]

Rough Notes From Euan Semple – There’s Something Going on Here That Is Bigger Than Any of Us

What does it all mean? Printing press analogy. Press changed the way we saw the world. We’ll have similar shift in the future (long term). But: they used to burn heretics as well. Not everyone will want to adopt this. 7 years since Cluetrain: lots of stuff is still the same Change will not happen [...]

Rough Notes for Chris Heathcote – A Mobile Internet Manifesto

It isn’t Nokia policy, he’s trying to be provocative. 1b internet 2b mobile user 5b unconnected many networks, you’ll be connected to the internet 100% voice, 50% java, 10% native apps these are not barriers: display device speed text entry network speed 1000 bln. text messages in 2005 we might be the last gen. that [...]

Rough Notes From Robert Willim – I’m Taking a Ride – Curve Surfing and Speed Mania

Hard to start after Doc’s talk. Ph.D. on Framfab. And on new economy and dot com boom and bust. What happened back then? To see if there are any similarities… Open question How do we predict twists of history? How do we make sense in heated times? Framfab: Started 5, at top it was 2000. [...]

Rough Notes for Doc Searls – Keynote

He’s in business drag (kinda like Ben). Dropped it into puddle. Markets 2.0 Beyond a whole bunch of isms. Markets are conversations: they’re not just (a whole bunch of things). Stuff that reduces is to transactions. Wanted change it. Markets used to be real places, where culture was produced. Feedback on Cluetrain from the real [...]

Rough Notes for Julian Bleecker and Nicolas Nova – Networked Objects and the New Ecology of Things

Anything can have meaning. Sources Internet of things report by ITU Shaping things — Sterling, “spimes” Thinglink Manifesto of networked objects Number of conversations. ITU report: philosophy related to biz efficiency, what about social dimension? Blogjects Does the thing itself participate in content circulation? E.g.: AIBO blog platform, indicator of how an instrument can engage [...]

Rough Notes for Jyri EngeströM – Blind Men’s Baseball

Part 2 of three-part track. Last one’s Chris Heathcote’s one. Why baseball? Not beer, hotdogs, hat etc. It takes a long time… Lot of it is pretending to pitch etc. Pitchers are glancing all the time. That’s the aspect that’s interesting to him. Important social consequences. 1 Spatial Seeing surrounding space in the present. Focussing, [...]

Rough Notes for Tom Armitage – What Social Software Can Learn From Homer, Dickens, and Marvel Comics

Dickens, cliffhanger on every page Putting data on display = publishing Blogs are fragmentary Every single thing you do needs to be dated for context In hindsight it’ll show you patterns Example: Infovore and previous blog actually join Collect data across boundaries (chronological, digital, physical) Nostalgia, be fuzzy, looking back at old stories etc. Analogy [...]

Rough Notes for Stowe Boyd – The Revolution Will Be Socialized

Start with a joke that you need to apologize for (America and Japan). Supposed to be rebooted, but hasn’t managed to do it just yet. JJG’s presentation is a good “foil” for his talk. He’s working a lot with web 2.0 companies. He’s very busy, seen a lot of business models. Trying to help them [...]
