Al Gore and Jeff Skoll team up -changing the world one story at a time.

The activist organization set up to support this film and its message is an exemple of how Jeff Skoll's Participant Productions is producing feature films and supporting an activist organization for each film. this could be very powerful way to put Al Gore in spotlight for 2008.

Author's and Publisher's Alert! A digital Tsunami is about to disrupt the book business.


Scan This Book! - New York Times:

Thanks to Stuart Silverstone for this link to Kevin Kelly's article in the current New York Times Magazine. In this piece, Kelly really "gets" the consequences of the web and new digital technology as he has for so many years following his coining the term The New Economy back in the day.

Kelly provides a clear analysis of the impact of the scanning activiities of the Google 5 Anatomy of Aggregate Collections: The Example of Google Print for Libraries to digitally capture and make searchable and retrievable by anyone on the web the millions of books in the libraries of 5 major universities. As with most of Kelly's futuristic forays, this article is well worth reading in depth.

Kelly describes an all-digital universal library of the future where the Napster style of "rip, mix and burn" will create opportunities for anyone to modify and enhance the original book content. He foresees a mixture of digital media almost too bizarre to imagine. But one thing Kelly makes clear to present and prospective authors and publishers is that the business model of book publishing will be drastically disrupted.

Kelly says "As copies have been dethroned, the economic model built on them is collapsing. In a regime of superabundant free copies, copies lose value. They are no longer the basis of wealth. Now relationships, links, connection and sharing are. Value has shifted away from a copy toward the many ways to recall, annotate, personalize, edit, authenticate, display, mark, transfer and engage a work. Authors and artists can make (and have made) their livings selling aspects of their works other than inexpensive copies of them. They can sell performances, access to the creator, personalization, add-on information, the scarcity of attention (via ads), sponsorship, periodic subscriptions in short, all the many values that cannot be copied. "

A "weather map" of the Blogosphere "Hurricane"

Comment by dave davison: "A 2 screen visualization one for GIS and the other for Topic maps would provide potential for geobrowsing and display of complex information with geolocation metadata, and topic maps could provide a non-geographical visualization concurrently. Seing both at once either for interactive access or passive display would be very powerful.

If there is a desire to avoid imposing ontological order on the network content, visualizations like these could provide a 'weather map' of where this hurricane is headed.

The opportunity to SEE order emerging from complexity would provide us a truly unique way of understanding O.net."
