Yunshen对分众广告的抗议

谁污染了公共(视觉)空间 ”:

这些商人们不但没有罪恶感,反而认为 这种强制性,又不会太招致受众的强烈反感,因而等候的时间本身就是无聊而枯燥的,液晶电视广告以精美的画面,音乐,优雅的格调排解了等候时的寂寞,同时达到了广告传播的效果。[link] 多可耻,把人的时间片断和空间段给“强奸”了,还要说给人带来了“快感”。 真是关心人的无聊和枯燥的话,应该想到的是联播数字化的名画、漂亮的风景、悦耳的音乐,(国外有公司这么做,而且他们又不少的公司客户,想象一下,到一个公司去,看到走廊、会客室、等待间的液晶屏幕按照一定时间间隔显示的优美的画面是多么惬意的事情,要使看到的是广告,相信多数人对公司的印象会大打折扣)。而不是和写字楼的拥有者勾结起来以公谋私的销售广告了。… —–[刻录事]

应当给Jason看看,:D 今天公共空间的污染已经泛滥,分众的模式并没有yunshen所说那么“强迫”。但是至少我也感觉,一家快速发展的企业也到了考虑一下公众影响的时候了。

前面看过一段,但是没有听到声音。现在听听团队的秀词,还真不错。

What’s the real benchmark on China’s blogosphere

Xiao qiang’s article on ‘New Scientist” raised a lot of discussions in Slashdot community, as well in China’s blogosphere. Apprearantly, three different types of voices can be seen in both English and Chinese space:

- Blog struggles in China like other internet phenomena(BBS, etc.), it’s so skeptical to this space
- Blogging in China is mixture of opportunities and problems, depends on how you use it
- China’s blogosphere is as great as other blogosphere, no criticism

I strongly support diversified viewpoints to China’s blogosphere since I’m a learning technology researcher. People no exception construct his own perceptions with previous knowledge(“Constructivism”). The ‘worlds’ are totally different with different benchmarks. But I personally prefer the second understanding of this space. Blog can be seen as a saw, but it should be tested on woods back and forth. Any blogosphere will endure some test, a test on “bottom-up v.s. top-down” world view, the two different social organizing structure. I like reading the essay, “The Second Superpower Rears its Beautiful Head” by James F. Moore. We know Fortunetely, we can put more hopes with more personal enabling technologies, including blog, Social Software, etc.

Someones said Zheng, me and other cnblog guys lighted up the torch of China’s blogosphere. We did not, neither anyone else in my mind. Becuase blogging is not a controllable stuff in minorities’ hand. It belongs to common people. From day one of CNBlog.org, we encourage people to register at once on blogger.com, and create their own blog in minutes. So CNBlog.org is not a center, neither a portal, it always follows it’s base principle, “Blog on blog for Chinese”. On Cnblog’s blog, we respect posts from guest bloggers. We never ‘reedit’ or ‘remove’ any post from it’s birth, even to those flame disputes. Some guys blogged to complain Dan Gillmor and Xiao Qiang ignored more wide voices of China’s blogosphere. As I know, they are eager to know more from different sources instead of just listen to few ‘famous’ names.

Via del.icio.us, Xiao Qiang’s article was seen bookmarked by many people around the world. I regard it as a historian writing, without solutions to the problems we are all asking everyday. We can’t predict the future, because it changes too chaotically to be predicted. Also we don’t need predicate the future, because we are creating it, harnessing the power of grassroots.

Wetaste的弱点

别人点破Wetaste的弱点,虽然文摘有用,但是却失去了对原文链接进行社会性评价的信息。因为Wetaste为文摘保存了“永久地址”,并且作为书签加入到Del.icio.us中,但是却没有同时把原址同时保存为书签,丧失了与其他人桥接的机会。当然我还可以用Tasty的方法帮助用户间接获得这个信息,但是显得有点拼凑。

更彻底的解决方法,还是应当把文摘放在本地,而把文摘的原址以及相关链接Ping到Del.icio.us中,这就是Wego的任务了。基于此,对文摘进行再编辑的Wiki改造还是等一等。

We history

T-salon:

Not sure whether it was Marc Bloch who said that everyone is a historian; however there are some qualities that made “professional” or at least a trained historian different from those who weren’t trained in the craft of history.

I have the similar discussion with Tian months ago. Grassroots historian and archivest(?) are emerging, along with the blogging and other new formats of online collaboration works. There will be more detail things be recorded with grassroots publishing behaviors. It just like that since microscope was invented by Anton van Leeuwenhoek, people can know more detail things than ever before. The scale of history research will be downsized to minutes in digital age. Andrew Lih mentioned the gap between history book and news, I think we can put “we history” here. It’s just happening every minutes, either in blogging or wiki coauthoring. …

好玩的白板

我在找一些不错的Flash RIA应用,看到了GE的这个绘图白板很酷,随手画了几笔,可惜不能保存成为JPG之类的文件(只能邮寄链接),也不能输出为“毕加索”那样的贴片放在网页上。其实我想找的是一个多人可以同时绘图的白板,似乎Macromedia Communication Server 支持这样的应用,还没有试验过。DigitalBoy在Communication Server上尝试很多,他的Video Blog不知道是否会有人爱玩(似乎儿童不宜,链接删除)。

RIA更适合于放在网页之中作为一个点缀,这一点Flickr发挥恰到好处,无论是图片显示、管理组织,还是图片秀,Flash的作用都是画龙点睛,没有强加给用户的感觉。而把RIA当作应用的容器,则似乎并不惹人爱,微软的实验室作品Wallop和Macromedia的Central都差不多如此,虽然Fans不少,可是不实用。
