TED Blog: Q&A with Clay Shirky on Twitter and Iran
Posted from Diigo. The rest of my favorite links are here.
- “Sehr viele grundrechtsbeeinträchtigende Gesetze wurden in den letzten Jahren erst nachträglich vom Bundesverfassungsgericht gestoppt, weil das Parlament augenscheinlich nicht mehr dazu in der Lage ist, den Grundrechtsschutz der Bürger ausreichend zu gewährleisten und verfassungswidrige Gesetze bedenkenlos durchgewunken werden.”
- “The New York Times keeps talking about how expensive its Baghdad bureau is and what a fix we’d be in without it. Well, the essential truth in Iran is that no one has a Tehran bureau (or if they do, it has been rendered useless by government diktat). So we have no choice but to replace that bureau with the people, with witnesses empowered to share what they see.”
- Vielleicht sollte ich Feedly mit GReader-Integration nochmal eine Chance geben.
- Evernote rockt.
- “Reuters is reporting today that among the French, German, British, and American populations, 8% are pirating online video. Not 8% of 18-28 year old males with laptops, but 8% of all consumers. [..]Prohibition failed, as will locked down data for consumers. Not passing judgement on whether pirating is ethical, but my god it does seem inevitable.”
- “When you’re coding you really have to be in the zone so I’ll listen to a single song over and over on repeat, hundreds of times. It helps me focus. The other best way to focus is to turn off email and instant messenger. The moment that little toaster pops up and says “you’ve got mail” you’re taken out of the flow. You’re juggling variables and functions and layouts and the moment you look away it all falls to the ground — it takes you 10 minutes getting it back in the air again.”
- “Poker is a psychological game - and you can imagine how the pros are strategizing about their use of this new method of communication.
“People are calling it Tweet bluffing,” Sebok says. “It’s a game within a game situation and it’s effected the way the games go. It’s enabling the fans at home to climb into the minds of the players but if they are smart they know they can climb into each others’ minds too: to see who tilts, who rolls with the bad situations and who flies off the handle. Players spread misinformation like ‘I’m going to play tight’ when they are really going to play loose. We do that verbally but since Twitter is written, it seems more believable. But it’s just the beginning of all this, it’s blown up in last 2 or 3 months.”"
- “The reason I remind people to think about the term “intellectual property” is that I believe its confusion gives great help to our enemies in the long term. Repeating their propaganda is an own-goal.”

- “On the open web, services get built on top of services. Fredwilson.fm is built on top of Tumblr and Streampad. Hype Machine and Elbo.ws are built on top of services like fredwilson.fm. As we move up the aggregation stack, we start to assemble larger audiences.”
- ” Tossell, though, does raise some important questions about how far the Party can go with the name, however. I tend to agree. While I agree that calling it The Pirate Party helps in getting initial attention (and press attention), it also brings out those sorts of false accusations that it’s just about “getting free stuff” rather than serious issues that impact civil rights and innovation.”
- ” Most people, having been taught from a young age, the “wonders” of intellectual property as a driving force to our economy, have an instinctual, inherent belief that more and stronger IP laws must be a good thing. I know I certainly felt that way for a long time. It was only as I was exposed to more facts, more details and more evidence that I began to realize just how troubling it is to create such intellectual monopolies, in an effort to create artificial scarcity, to lock up ideas and expression — all to allow profit over freedom of expression.” Ging mir ähnlich.
- ““I’ve discovered so much music through that medium. That will be true of any artist my age, absolutely,” Pecknold added. He explained that he is not the only musician to have benefited from ’stealing’ music, as the major labels like to call it. Having access to an unlimited library of music only makes a musician better” Und die Musik von Fleet Foxes ist auch toll.
- ” I see Facebook and Twitter and Friend Feed emerging as public channels. I call them public because it’s a way for people to communicate with each other publicly. And the problem with those channels is they’re really noisy. And I think we need services built on top of them. I think Facebook and Friend Feed and Twitter are building a lot of those services into their services. But I think way more people are building services on top of them. “

- “qualtitätsjournalismus = agenturmeldungen + arroganz”
- “Internetpartei” oder “Digitalpartei” o.ä., das wäre was. “Piraten”, not so much. :/
- “Weil sich die professionellen deutschen Online-Medien auf die ungeprüfte Weitergabe solcher Meldungen spezialisiert haben, stehen die Fehler von dpa heute überall”
- “Maybe paid content is good for journalism because it’s going to hasten the fall of this terrible system. It’s going to create a vacuum in which innovators will be able to make a difference. Maybe the best thing these old media companies can do today is fail quickly.”
- “Twitter co-founder, Jack Dorsey, said this week that he hopes the service will someday be just like electricity, something everyone uses but few feel the need to talk about. To follow that analogy, if you were someone who used a heavy duty washer and dryer in your home and found out that the electric company didn’t employ people who regularly used any appliances bigger than a toaster - wouldn’t you be a little concerned about the long term viability of your power supply?”

- “You should never trust anyone who tries to base output on the amount invested.”
- “So, the Australian visitors to Mininova alone are already 600% higher than Nielsen’s estimates of the total traffic to Mininova, The Pirate Bay, isoHunt, TorrentReactor and Torrentz. Unfortunately we don’t have any details on the methodology or sample Nielsen used, but it’s certainly not very representative.”
- Herzlichen Glückwunsch! ExCom ist toll.
- “At the end of the Google Wave presentation, 4,000 developers stood up and cheered like nothing we’ve seen outside of a Steve Jobs keynote. That picture above isn’t the crowd of gray haired execs cheering Bing. It’s a mass of engineers going wild over a new open source communications platform from Google. And yes, that guy on the right was literally waving his laptop in the air in excitement.”
