It's been almost a month since we launched FeedBurner Email. The aforementioned system's chief architect returned from vacation, took one look what the kids had done to the place, and immediately set about restoring order. That said, we have appreciated the positive response to this service from our publishers, long-timers and newcomers alike, and today we fulfilled the number one request: subscriber list management. Now, in the Email Subscriptions service area for your email-enabled feed, you may:
我首先是在we-need-money-not-art的网站上看到这个有趣的消息的。(但是不知道怎么他们的这个页面后来又消失了)
We Feel Fine是一个新近的交互艺术以及挖掘社会性网络的作品。根据评论网站Generator.X的文章,它:
It scrapes blogs, Myspace accounts and similar social networking systems, looking for the sentence fragments "I feel" and "I am feeling", recording the sentence and the context they appear in, including photographs in the case of Flickr entries. The result is a massive dataset of feelings and moods combined with demographic data.
或者用简单的语言来描述,这个计划从网络上的blog以及myspace社区中挖掘内容,它以"I feel"和"I am feeling"为关键词,记录下这些句子的上下文,或者把Flickr上的图片说明也一并抓取而来。并且分类统计。而结果就是一个新奇而让人着迷的人类感情的集合体。我觉得有意思的地方在于这个和以往那些艺术家所声称的代表人类普遍情感的廉价口号所不同。这个作品向我们展现了真正的,隐藏在互联网之后的人们的想法。而且它的实现又是完全通过机器来达到的。中文的评论还写道:
这些成功的作品影射出在众多组合当中人们心情快照 ,被博客和社区网络服务系统证实了。在此期间观众会得到细微的启示从这些被影射的数据轴上 ,这些纯粹数据组的大小对于带给观众冲击力来说是十分重要的 。
其实抛开理论不谈,这个网站本身就是很吸引人的作品。在成果演示之中,无数五颜六色的随机运动的小气泡代表了各种感情,如果悬停鼠标,程序还会自动将类似的情感聚集在周围,形成"网络"的感觉。上面会显示出从网络上所摘录的内容。一个一个看起来就仿佛在情感的河流中浏览一颗颗的鹅卵石。
在项目的统计中可以看到全世界各个国家的人们(不太清楚是如何界定国籍的),其中来自中国共有8192条。比较有趣的是在所有的统计中,女性总数比男性多出2万多人,但是在感情条目的统计上,男性却翻了一倍。难道全世界的男性都喜欢在网络上倾吐自己的内心世界?:P
樊弓:NBA 决赛那两万来张门票让谁来“取”?你要是建一个球场把所 有球迷都装下,那谁坐前排? 马克思:资源相对于需求的有限性一直是他们怀疑共产主义的主要依 据。但是原子能、新材料(纳米等)乃至人造元素、计算机与信息技术 方面的发展,恰恰在不断 证明我们理论的科学性。观看球赛的需求能不 能考虑用电子生物仿真的技术来满足?应当指出,目前这些科学的进展 尚未能在技术应用方面达到较充分的程度。而 且,在私有制、两极分化 的社会条件下这些技术的应用也不可能是充分的。 鲁提辖:那时候的东西就是比现在多,有得你分。樊大师不会问共产主 义能否保证他每场必胜的问题吧? |
Back in the early '90s, when many of us were impressionable young college students, we got our hands on the first issue of Wired. In those days, we weren't even sure this Internet thing was here to stay. But here was a magazine that was different. Stories about cell phone hacking. Military technology. They published the authors' email addresses. We were hooked.
So it's pretty great that all these years later, we get to report that Wired News is running its feeds through FeedBurner. Like other publishers who use FeedBurner's advanced analytics to measure their audience, better understand feed consumption, and build their online community, Wired News is leveraging the full suite of FeedBurner services to make feeds more integral to their content strategy.
As a part of the FeedBurner Ad Network, Wired News is already generating revenue, and is using FeedBurner services like FeedFlare to survey its audience to gain greater insight into its audience demographics. For those who think Wired News is just tech news (their tech headlines feed *is* great), you're missing out on some of the best original reporting on Culture, Politics, Games and more on the web.
