• TED Blog: Q&A with Clay Shirky on Twitter and Iran

  tags: twitter, TED, socialmedia, Iran, shirky, weekly

  • Which services have caused the greatest impact? Blogs? Facebook? Twitter?
    It’s Twitter. One thing that Evan (Williams) and Biz (Stone) did absolutely right is that they made Twitter so simple and so open that it’s easier to integrate and harder to control than any other tool. At the time, I’m sure it wasn’t conceived as anything other than a smart engineering choice. But it’s had global consequences. Twitter is shareable and open and participatory in a way that Facebook’s model prevents. So far, despite a massive effort, the authorities have found no way to shut it down, and now there are literally thousands of people aorund the world who’ve made it their business to help keep it open.

• Die Krise der parlamentarischen Demokratie

- “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.”

• CDU-Wahlprogramm
• Adding value in the new news ecosystem

- “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.”

- “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.”

• The Way I Work, annotated

- “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.”

• How Twitter is Changing the World of Professional Poker

- “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.”"

• Understanding The Pirate Party

- ” 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.

• Fleet Foxes Thank Piracy For Their Success

- ““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. “

  • On any page (except saved searches - we’ll get to that later), you’ll notice a new feature in the upper-right that says “E-mail/IM”. If you click on that it will drop down some more options. You can select it to deliver just new posts on the given page, new posts and just your friends’ comments, or new posts and all comments. You can then select any option to deliver those to either your e-mail, IM client, or FriendFeed’s own native desktop popup client (which you can download and install here). FriendFeed then uses the e-mail and IM settings you have set in your settings to deliver this information to your desired location. The great thing about this is that you can use it for any of your friend lists, any room on FriendFeed, or even your own discussions page

But you will immediately start benefiting from what the service offers.

• Die CDU profiliert sich als Anti-Internetpartei

  tags: weekly, politik, CDU

  • Nun scheint die CDU auf der Suche nach populistischen Themen und Ängsten, die man ausbeuten kann, aber ganz woanders fündig geworden zu sein. Das Internet ist jetzt das Reich des Bösen. Es ist ja ohnehin deprimierend, welche Abgründe in der Diskussion über das Netz zwischen Amerika und dem alten Europa klaffen. In den USA wird das Netz bei allen Problemen – etwa dem Zeitungssterben – als Reich einer neuen Freiheit begrüßt. Im alten Europa ist es das Reich des Bösen. Es untergräbt nicht nur alles Bestehende. Es ist die Sphäre aller dunklen unbeherrschbaren Kräfte in der Gesellschaft. Im Netz findet der Kannibale seine willige Nahrung. Mit treuem Augenaufschlag verlesen die Nachrichtensprecher der Tagesschau über das Netz ausschließlich Nachrichten, die von Kinderpornos, chattenden Amokläufern und bombenbastelnden Terroristen handeln.
