newbie friendfeed question here. If I comment here, will the people I that subscribe to me see the original item and the comment thread, or should I 'share' the item from Cameron's feed to my home feed? - Jo Badge

the anotated google wave slide (64) is fascinating. The potential of using robots to reinforce the metadata and structure of research 'items' is just mind blowing. Where does your lablog originate from? is it something that other people can have - would we need to host locally? - Jo Badge

Jo, depending on their preferences, they'll see it here (that's the default behavior) - Deepak Singh

brilliant - thanks @deepak. I'm more used to twitter protocol, wondered if it equated to a retweet, but guess not. FF is smarter than that, cool :-) - Jo Badge

think of sharing as forking in the Friendfeed context. - Deepak Singh from IM

Ah, that makes sense. I 'shared' this with a group we created when Cameron came to present in Leicester (UoLNeylon). - Jo Badge

Jo, the LaBLog comes from work done in Jeremy Frey's group at Southampton. They've done much of the important technical work that has let me explore this stuff. Also - now that it is up I can add the additional videos in. - Cameron Neylon

Cameron - thanks. - Jo Badge

The LaBLog system is available but its currently in a state of flux so its a watch this space kind of thing. Looking at re-implementing in Wave and/or a complete re-write so lots of stuff going on. Also for more details Allyson "Robo-blogger" Lyster has notes at http://themindwobbles.wordpress.com/2009... - Cameron Neylon

@Jo re: using Wave to re-inforce, collect and optimise local metadata. Yup. This fell out of a conversation with Allyson and others last week and my brain is still trying to catch up with a) what the best proof of principle is and b) where this might take us. Things like just-in-time instantiations of local ontologies which none-the-less feed and inform construction of larger ontologies, while at the same time bringing everything in a conversational form to the user. - Cameron Neylon

@cameron blimey! extremely cool. The future is coming! - Jo Badge
