also will check guides for library classifications and search processes for simplex clouds or tagging. eg information = education, reference, knowledge management, data; ideas = position, debate, faith; co-operation = networking, collaboration; information + design = data architecture

for sidebar. a few posts back, monitor stop working. not broken, stop working. so spare, 14" crt! from 17" lcd!, had to be got from storage. broken nails! of course, it couldn't JUST plug straight in, in anyway, so started an alphabet soup merry-go-round. EXTREMELY blurry screen at login following attempted improvement. so of to borrow pc for solution investigation. alphabet soup galore, edited, almost, to a 2 page itenary. returning @ evening. you know that tedious login? yep. just do it by memory. THERE IS NO PROBLEM, AFTER LOGIN. right, after some rooting around lets try to improve on status quo, again.UH UH. its broke again. no it's not, yes it is. Well, it's not so bad after all then! Hello varied configuration computer!!! Just type while you're ahead.

sharings

google's rss feed reader share function makes convenient quality information presentation. can such feed readers then have plural shared folders? simply, probably not. however, a folders seperate feed, individual items can re-label, can be a particular share. then, there's notebook, docs, sheets, tweets, bleats yada. what tho are the costs of such storage!

so the problem may be most conveniently solved differently. are readers gonna read all sharer's shared items? likely not. what are those bookmarking processes? and via rss?

not quite convenient enough? maybe more so when code adds an click functionality within sharer's reader post panels or toolbars.

which is a form of aggregation. lets mention pipes, eg pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/. such a setup would allow placement of a panel of links of last 'saved' items, for example. whilst allowing combinations of sequences of selective aggregation or filtering, these data feeds are however preset, not selective, streams. quite so. see posting, "everyone is trying to say something particularily".

are user-scripts and similar, such as pipes, over-specific. hope so!

search on.

smiley does transport chaos

extensive research on the bambara rail system has shown smiley floor decals greatly increase concourse flow. an investment return of 3x more than other measures. less developed systems use other images but still show improvements compared to blankness.

Algorithm? heard that somewhere!

"MyPunchbowl: The Algorithm Schedules Your Event from TechCrunch by Nick Gonzalez

Previously, MyPunchbowl members picked a date by building consensus by talking on the invite’s bulletin board. The process is similar for the other event planning sites, except for Renkoo, which uses IM instead of bulletin boards. Now, with MyPunchbowl, you can avoid the bulletin board mess and find a date using the new “Pick-A-Date” feature, which recommends the best date from a set of dates supplied by the host. “Pick-A-Date” does this all in real time, giving greater importance to the schedules for the host and important guests. It’s best illustrated by checking out the video embedded below.

Now when you make an event, you can select multiple dates and times that work, specifying whether they are either “better” dates, or just “ok”. Since some events need key guests, MyPunchbowl also lets you pick VIPs, who have a greater effect on which date the algorithm recommends.

As RSVPs roll in, guests choose which dates don’t work, are ok, or are the best for themselves. After each RSVP the algorithm recalculates which date is best for the majority of the group, giving the greatest weight to VIPs. Real time feedback encourages the remaining guests to reschedule their calendars around the date that works the best for the majority of the group or the guest of honor. At any time, the host can choose a date for the event, using the recommended date as a guide without the hassle of long email or bulletin board threads."

Back to roots. Internet style "social lending may threaten banks", eventually.

Internet style social networking lending narrows gap between traditional banks and cooperative finance.

"Internet social lending 'may threaten banks' | Internet Marketing News and Blog | E-consultancy.com: "

A new study has claimed that the social networking boom could eventually threaten the dominance of traditional lenders.

A study by the Social Futures Observatory think-tank found that many consumers would consider borrowing through online ‘social lending’ communities rather than high street banks and other traditional lenders.

The SFO study surveyed members of Zopa.com, an online lending community, as well as a general sample of mainstream banking customers."

Katie Ledger on the programme, Click, reports that, "Social lending gains net interest - Social networking spawns a new concept as banking harnesses the potential of Web 2.0."

silicon.com suggests "big-bank confidence dented by social banking".

Could even partial en masse "borrowers voting with mice" "force banks to cut loan rates"? Indeed could it eventually comprehensively metamorphose lending and saving processes?

Or maybe it will overtake porn?

(some porn stats:

• # 89% of porn is created in the U.S.
• # $2.84 billion in revenue was generated from U.S. porn sites in 2006
• # $89/second is spent on porn
• # 72% of porn viewers are men
• # 260 new porn sites go online daily)
