I think I finally understand what those devilish folks in our #bs1011 course want us to do. Humpf. 5 a week will be difficult, but I would like to imagine it will become part of my week anyway. I think it useful to reflect on your modules and learning. Even if you reflect that you cant do it. At least you've reflected.
Interesting perspective on the value of the iPad for the digital inclusion agenda. Chris Thorpe talks a lot of sense in this space so worth considering for the iSkeptics

The web site redesign and relaunch cost the Dolans $4 million, according to Mr. Jimenez. With those 35 people, they've grossed about $9,000. In that time, without question, web traffic has begun to plummet, and, certainly, advertising will follow as well. Of course, there are a few caveats. Anyone who has a newspaper subscription is allowed free access; anyone who has Optimum Cable, which is owned by the Dolans and Cablevision, also gets it free. Newsday representatives claim that 75 percent of Long Island either has a subscription or Optimum Cable.

I'm busy preparing to the stem cells meeting in Austin so I don't have time for the official post, but I would like to announce before any more time goes on that I've agreed to serve in a consulting role for Biodata http://twitter.com/biokm to advise them as they grow on things that are of interest to the community of life scientists.
I thought about this for some time, but it seems like it fits well alongside what I'm doing for Mendeley. My aim is to help two good companies become great.

The Research 2.0 Concept Model above is an evolution of the Academic Library 2.0 Concept Models developed for my Master's Paper (http://mchabib.com/2006... ). While the original model primarily focused on academic library services for students, the new model focuses on services for researchers. Like in the original models, the top represents communication spaces grounded in physical space, while the bottom mirrors this in the online realm. Two ends of the spectrum are informal communications and formal communications. My argument is that Research 2.0 falls somewhere between these extremes.

The above Scholarly Identity 2.0 Concept Model takes the series of concept models one step farther, but with a slightly different twist. The divide between online and offline scholarly communication is largely meaningless, so has been discarded. The spectrum in this case is more specific with one end being entirely user-generated content and the other traditional scholarly...

Michael - interesting stuff. Do you have that paper you mentioned published by now (blog post is dated mid-2006). I would like to mention some of this in my thesis and cite your publication of course.

Claudia - the overall theme is data publication and the role of data standards, federated database networks and digital identity in facilitating/encouraging data sharing. The context is research into correlation between genotype and phenotype, or medical genetics/genomics more generally. Have a look at this review published last year that i co-authored with my supervisor: "Genotype-phenotype databases: challenges and solutions for the post-genomic era" - http://dx.doi.org/10...

The second (right) model above on identity is the more interesting of the two. If you are going to look at just one....
- Michael Habib
Interesting social status implications here, especially with the second model. The more robust both sides of the scholar2.0 identity components (UGC + trad), the "deeper" the 2.0 identity (think tag clouds as the metaphor here). Or, perhaps color combos is a better metaphor, with schol.identity2.0 being a mix of UCG (say, "yellow"), trad (say "blue") and combo being "green" -- the shade...

BTW, there is still a glitch in the video as I mentioned here:- http://ff.im/9ZX6u Correct me if I'm wrong...
- Graham Steel
Chris, link added. Slideshare doesn't seem to support embeds from Vimeo, sadly (unless I missed it?). Graham, the glitch is in the original recording - the camera turned off briefly!
- AJCann
Graham, around 34:30, the video skips back to Cameron's philosophy of tool choice, not quite to the start, but the glitch ist very well placed, I think ;-)

I considered trying to livestream the talk via Qik, but as it's a Departmental seminar, too many permissions issues. We'll rely on the tweetstream instead - #uolneylon
- AJCann
Whose permissions? If you just do the talk with only me in frame is that ok?

from twhirl
I'd do it myself but I'll probably be doing web stuff as well so the connection would be dodgy
- Cameron Neylon
from twhirl
Cameron - remind me of setting up that network connection for you as soon as you arrive, and we will test it well beforehand in case there are issues.
- 'Mummi' Thorisson
Probably need to check with the Department that no-one objects Mummi. Unusual case of speaker demanding live stream and hosts refusing. ROFLMAO.
- AJCann
Don't want to annoy people but perhaps it will help make the point of the talk clearer :-)

Self-Reported Differences in Empowerment Between Lurkers and Posters in Online Patient Support Groups | van Uden-Kraan | Journal of Medical Internet Research - http://www.jmir.org/2008...
Objective: In the present study, we explored if lurkers in online patient support groups profit to the same extent as posters do. Conclusion: Our study revealed that participation in an online support group had the same profound effect on lurkers’ self-reported feelings of being empowered in several areas as it had on posters. Apparently, reading in itself is sufficient to profit from participation in an online patient support group.
