This is the article I’d like to write. It happens quite often on Monday note.

News, people and vegetables

Chris Lee talks about citizen journalism as opposed to professional, and scores a good point when he sees people going to what they want (rather than what they need).

Actually, only real socialism knows what people needs, but even that is not very popular.

To me, professional journalism is all about stuff that matters to people, plain and simple.

Semantic web, Google and semantic search

“The W3C’s web of data model is still not on [Google's] radar”, as we can read in Google VP words.

This approach makes perfectly sense. Everything doesn’t have to be represented semantically nor should.

I am a big fan of the web of data (whatever this means) but I feel there is too much hype about the web 3.0 and the ubiquitous semantic technologies.

Let’s make a deal, and go focus on big data for now (or a large set of structured, interesting data, such as RDF Open Data Tables) and see what happens with that.

For me the web of language can wait.

Medioevo tecnologico e rete anonima

Matteo Flora pubblica un interessante commento a una notizia altrettanto interessante, circa la diffusione (ma sarebbe più appropriato chiamarla esplosione) di sistemi per la “navigazione anonima”, e vi vede (giustamente) una conseguenza diretta dell’inasprimento della lotta alla cosiddetta pirateria.

Non stupisce che a misure tecnologiche corrispondano contromisure più sofisticate, ça va sans dire.

Etnografia della banalità

Tutto è contenuto un questa espressione che apre l’articolo di Roberto Verganti per TECH24 ed è una citazione di Harald Gründl di EOOS.

Si parla di “vision” e di tutto quello che passa in quell’intersezione tra Tecnologia, Design e Management e che, per un public averti rientra nella categoria Information System.
