Social Software provides a new paradigm to connect everything in a Scale Free space. It’s also a model of universal 6-degree of separation. More and more real people will join this land to enable more Social Capital accumulation.
Flickr悄悄地用DHTML替代了Flash 版本的单张照片管理,因为相关的功能都已经能够用DHTML和XMLHttpRequest来实现,不过相对复杂的Organizer部分还是保留了Flash RIA来实现,不知道哪一天是否也会完全改正过来。毕竟Organizer 是管理对象群,而超级的可视化和集成性是非常必要的。这种功能和技术的平衡演化策略值得任何社会性软件设计者关注,用户的体验得到了保护,而技术也在不知不觉中获得了演进。
我就跟着做点小变化,今后开始为自己的Flickr 照片多加一些中文的标签,也算是希望中文标签和通俗分类可以更好地让中文内容融入全球视野。大家都要变。
另外作了一个PPT2Flickr的简单脚本,我这种爱在Powerpoint中写写画画的人可以用它来直接发布一些图片到Flickr上分享给自己的N度联系人。这个脚本目前还不完善(我用了最偷懒的方法),愿意和一起测试的人可以Skype我。
Lyrics:
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...

blo.gs被人收购了,这并不会像Newsgator收购FeedDemon那样引起很多blogger的注意,因为blo.gs并不是一家为大家所熟悉的公司。
Blo.gs提供的服务是追踪blog的更新,很多的blog在更新的时候都会向blo.gs或者weblogs.com发送一个XML-RPC通告,通知他们blog有更新了,通过主动发送ping来代替被动的搜索引擎爬虫。Movable Type似乎默认就是ping Blo.gs,WordPress也通过Ping-o-Matic发送ping到包括blo.gs在内的多个服务商。目前blo.gs追踪着近800万个blog。blo.gs在被收购的通告上并没有披露是被谁所收购,WordPress的开发者Matt透露说这个收购方比较cool。
那为什么要收购blo.gs这样一家看起来没有什么商业模式的公司呢?MicroPersuasion的Steve Rubel觉得有可能是想将blo.gs发展成为一个blog搜索引擎,看来这是个合理而且很有可能的假设。
