Hi Folks! Today is my birthday, I'm 33! :) And I wanted to celebrate by releasing an idea -and an implementation of it- to the wild! It's Socnode: The basic unit of distributed social networks. http://www.socnode.org/

Conceptual art circa '69 was in love with lists and instructions. But yeah, Duchamp and the Fluxus movement (being post Dada) were key instigators.

"It’s not hard to envisage a friend feed type account, open to everyone inside the agency and then for that agency to equip all of it’s employees (and I mean all) with a mobile phone, then to get every employee to sign up to special interest groups (some more general, some more niche), then to allow them all to be able to feed into an idea feed, or stream, and here’s the crucial bit, BEFORE, a briefing meeting or brainstorm is ever held. People would be ablew to plugin from other open API friendly services (Digg, Delicious, Twitter, Googlemaps, stumble, etc)"

There should be a point about Emails being absolutely rubbish for collaboration. Email clients are a good way to push items to FriendFeed, but as a workspace to collaborate, no.
- zeroinfluencer
Couldn't agree more re: email. The amount of valuable company data and knowledge that's lost in people's Outlook folders is distressing: and the larger the organization for which one works, the more lost and distressed one gets.
- Mat Morrison
Mat - there must be an interesting metric in that.

Well, I'm definitely not a spammer but after having worked at several big agencies (Ogilvy, EuroRSCG, Publicis, Y&R), I believe that time has come to adopt tools designed for profesional usage. My favourite is blueKiwi (and to be clear, I sell this solution). Have a look at their website. The future of collaboration is there because it's both "user-centric" and professionally designed for professional usage (with a lot of confirmed successes with multinational clients).

Video Games Republic » Video: Augmented reality zombies come to life - http://videogamesrepublic.com/...
Mat Morrison, Tracy, Adam Kinney and 2 other people liked this
"Georgia Tech Augmented Environments Lab and the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD-Atlanta) has been showing the multiple possibilities augmented reality has for mainstream gaming with the help of a prototype handheld device from Nvidia. It shows how users could create a map, place it on a flat surface and have it act as a level, or in this case a city backdrop to shoot up some zombies. In the video the player uses the handheld to hover over the map like a helicopter hunting down zombies to annihilate before they make a meal out of civilians. The bit where it really gets cool is being able to place real world objects like Skittles in the game to act as bombs and signals. It sounds like the perfect workplace distraction."

Reading xkcd now reminds me of reading Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, and The Far Side in the 80s. I feel like it's just the perfect comic for this era. - http://xkcd.com/

By Jove, you're right, Steve!
- josh neff, geek at large
That goes a long way toward explaining why I love all the comics you mentioned (xkcd most definitely included) but am not a fan of comics in general.
- laura x
Boy, do I miss Calvin and Hobbes. Here's another example for your thesis: http://xkcd.com/574/
- Catherine Pellegrino
The fact that it's so easy to drop relevant xkcd links into so many different conversations explains why it's a success: laptops are weird http://xkcd.com/490/; internet argument http://xkcd.com/438/; and more
- DJF
also, now I have to open Font Book to see what "Papyrus" looks like...well, it's better than comic sans.
- DJF
I miss The Far Side....and Steve, i do tend to agree...
- ~Courtney F.
DJF, now that you know what Papyrus looks like, you will start to see it EVERYWHERE.
- s t e v e
I will confess to using Papyrus in presentations as a "novelty" font on a slide where I'm throwing a whole bunch of terms up on the screen and trying to match font with term somehow.
- D0r0th34
Steve, I'm sure I will. It's an "elegant" fantasy font, as opposed to the more casual comic.
- DJF
Totally. http://xkcd.com/386/ is part of the standard lingo in our house. "Honey, was someone wrong on the internet?"

Elaine, I'm usually asking my wife that, rather than the other way around.

:sigh: removing Papyrus as Header font from all my presentations....
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
I'd forgotten about Papyrus. As novelty typefaces go, it's one of the better ones....some actual character.
- Walt Crawford
Rudi: the problem with the fantasy fonts is that everybody piles onto them, and they use them too much. Using it as title on your slides isn't really bad, just don't use it for the WHOLE PRESENTATION. Because then I would have to kill you.
- DJF
Rudy, I'm kind of with Randall Monroe (and perhaps Walt, and Outlier Fiander as well): Papyrus is actually a really nice typeface. It's just overused, and used for purposes that it's not suited to.
- s t e v e
I would not be upset to get a birthday card made with Papyrus (assuming it was an "elegant' themed card and not a "humorous" themed one). But when the Dean of Engineering gives his annual "State of the Faculty" presentation and all the text is in Comic Sans, you know that somebody's missing the point.
