“Twitter success is based on the simplicity of the service. However, the website, as well as various standalone Twitter clients are becoming more and more cluttered with useless features and other junk. Therefore, I stripped it to the basics and now it's the first twitter client I am happy with.” - × × ×

Невыносимые частицы счастья на лицах окружающих людей. Lou O’ Bedlam, он же Лучано Нобле, фотографирует девушек так, что сразу становится ясно, в чём самое главное предназначение мужчин. Восхищаться и строить для них великолепные дворцы (или что там сейчас вместо дворцов?), сражаться, открывать и побеждать. Это Кори. Ещё можно вспомнить Аманду и Лору. В дальнем ящике ждут своего часа «дни Лоры Тейлор в Безымянной овце». (фото: Lou O’ Bedlam) - × × ×

Собственно, это парадоксальный инструмент, который где-то между нейтральным информатором и чисто социальным каналом обратной связи. Не всегда удобно говорить спасибо, и даже лайками не все измеряется. Следующий слой слабых социальных взаимодействий и признаний. #нужные_вещи - #паттерны - #стайность - #соцсети - × × ×

Из похожих кейсов: довольно долго «выбор редакции» в Фликрашн был молчаливым — мы что-то выбрали, оно встало на главной странице группы на две-три-пять недель, потом ушло в архив. Но человек на нас смотрит редко, поэтому ему это все мало что говорит. Поэтому мы внутри договорились в какой-то момент, что будем ставить в выбор редакции, заодно сообщая автору, что он хороший. Это никак особенно не влияет на «большие цифры» (то есть посещаемость, активность и вовлеченность и пр.), но является очень сильным фактором внутреннего комфорта (моего, в частности) и результатом желания давать что-то в ответ на кайф, полученный от текстов или картинок. Лайков и фавок хватает не всегда. - × × ×

"The hardware is actually not the biggest challenge. How it will be stored, transcribed, indexed and protected online is. It’s a massive amount of data that only a few companies (Microsoft, Google, Amazon) are equipped to really handle anytime soon. But these devices are coming. And you have to decide if you’ll be one of the first or one of the last to use one." - × × ×

Daily routines are culled from books, newspapers, magazines, and Web sites. To submit a daily routine, e-mail dailyroutines [at] gmail.com; please be sure to include your source. Note: The Daily Routines blog is currently on hold. Stay tuned for the Daily Routines book in 2011. - × × ×

Haruki Murakami: "When I’m in writing mode for a novel, I get up at 4:00 am and work for five to six hours. In the afternoon, I run for 10km or swim for 1500m (or do both), then I read a bit and listen to some music. I go to bed at 9:00 pm. I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind." - × × ×

“Tasks that once took days can be completed in seconds, while traditions and skills that emerged over centuries have been made all but redundant. The internet is no respecter of reputations: innocent people have seen their lives ruined by viral clips distributed on the same World Wide Web used by activists to highlight injustices and bring down oppressive regimes Below we have compiled - in no particular order - 50 things that are in the process of being killed off by the web, from products and business models to life experiences and habits. We've also thrown in a few things that have suffered the hands of other modern networking gadgets, specifically mobile phones and GPS systems.” - × × ×

“To create an open-source camera, Levoy and the group cobbled together a number of different parts: the motherboard, per se, is a Texas Instruments "system on a chip" running Linux with image and general processors and a small LCD screen. The imaging chip is taken from a Nokia N95 cell phone, and the lenses are off-the-shelf Canon lenses, but they are combined with actuators to give the camera its fine-tuned software control. The body is custom made at Stanford. The project has benefited from the support of Nokia, Adobe Systems, Kodak, and Hewlett-Packard.” “In the young field of computational photography, which Levoy helped establish, researchers use optics benches, imaging chips, computers and software to develop techniques and algorithms to enhance and extend photography. This work, however, is bound to the lab. Frankencamera would give researchers the means to take their experiments into the studios, the landscapes, and the stadiums.” - × × ×

“Game achievements have come to affect our favorite pastime on many levels. A far cry from the high-score lists of our youth, the creation of predefined in-game goals have led to obsessive collection. Achievements are being added to a growing list of game genres, from the simplest casual puzzler to gargantuan industry standards like World of Warcraft. Their rise is leading to raging debates on both industry and enthusiast fronts: What in-game objectives ought to merit achievements? How can games best be designed with achievements (and achievers) in mind? What further rewards can be tied to achievements to enhance their effective use in games? How much worth do game achievements truly have? In order to better approach these and other questions, GameCyte consulted Rene Weber, a professor of psychology and telecommunications, and Patrick Shaw, a game designer/developer, who recently collaborated to research and define player types and motivations in modern gaming.” #проигры • #схватил_за_мозг • #малая_механизация • #игрофикация - × × ×

Cargo is a web publishing (CMS) and community-building platform currently in development. It powers a variety of creative communities in the fields of Education, Design, Research, and Conceptual Art. Cargo evolved out of the system that runs the SpaceCollective community. We found it remarkably successful and efficient in creating visual content on the web, placing a strong emphasis on design, layout, image quality and typography. Our goal is to dramatically increase the accessibility and exposure of creative individuals on the Internet, while aspiring to build a networked context that will contribute to the culture as a whole. - × × ×
