With all the visualization options out there, it can be hard to figure out what graph or chart suits your data best. This is a guide to make your decision easier for one particular type of data: proportions. Maybe you want to show poll results or the types of crime over time, or maybe you’re interested in a single percentage. Here’s how you can... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[Amazon & Wal-Mart at war] Wal-Mart, with $405 billion in sales last year, dominates by offering affordable prices to Middle America in its 4,000 stores. Amazon is a relative schooner to Wal-Mart’s ocean liner, with $20 billion in sales, mostly from affluent urbanites who would rather click with their mouse than push around a cart. This fight,... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[Iran’s “Soft war”] The Revolutionary Guards plan to start a news agency called Atlas in the spring, modeled on services like the BBC and The Associated Press, according to semiofficial Iranian news sites. The Revolutionary Guards already largely control the Fars news agency, which reflects views of Iran’s hard-line camp. Two weeks ago Iran formed... - http://participolis.tumblr.com/post...
[Bing about to pay for intexing Murdoch’s content] Microsoft has been in early discussions with the News Corporation, the media conglomerate controlled by Rupert Murdoch, about a pact to pay the News Corporation to remove links to its news content from Google’s search engine and display them exclusively on Bing, from Microsoft, according to a... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
Digital storytelling, in short, using technologies to tell stories. It’s a great way to develop visual and media literacy, promote reflection, engage students in their own learning, improve speaking and writing skills, to collaborate, reflect and evaluate. - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[Beware of your Facebook pics] An IBM employee that was on long-term sick leave for depression says she lost her benefits because her insurance agent found photos of her on Facebook in which she appeared to be having fun. - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[Your email account when you die] Almost every website will have a different policy for dead account holders, so I will discuss what popular websites such as Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo email accounts, MySpace and Facebook social networking websites do in the event of a death of one of their users. - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[Do you need a Chief Culture Officer?] McCracken (Flock and Flow), a research affiliate at Convergence Culture Consortium at MIT, argues that every company needs a chief cultural officer to anticipate cultural trends rather than passively waiting and reacting. CCOs should have the ability to process massive amounts of data and spot crucial... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[Camapign against hunger…] The Billion for a Billion campaign, the first ever global citizens’ campaign to end hunger, is aimed especially at the billion internet users in the world. It is based on the idea that many people doing a little can shift mountains — or, in this case, help eradicate hunger. Read news release […] Billion for a Billion is... - http://participolis.tumblr.com/post...
[THe alleged “death of the internet”] In the end, the song remains the same: of course the Internet has issues, but some kind of network-killing “exaflood” hasn’t materialized in two years and doesn’t look about to wreak devastation on the Internet in the near future. What we have instead is declining traffic growth rates in mature markets, and... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[A problem with social media] Here’s my other problem with “social media” as it shows up in too many of the 103 million results it currently brings up on Google: as a concept (if not as a practice) it subordinates the personal. […] Markets are built on the individuals we call customers. They’re where the ideas, the conversations, the intentions... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[2types of OS] If you’ve followed my thinking about Web 2.0 from the beginning, you know that I believe we are engaged in a long term project to build an internet operating system. (Check out the program for the first O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in 2002 (pdf).) In my talks over the years, I’ve argued that there are two models of... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[Chrome operating system] Google is not trying to build a better version of Windows. Instead, it is aiming to shift users toward its vision of “cloud computing,” a model in which programs are not installed on a PC but rather are used over the Internet and accessed through a Web browser. In Google’s approach, a user’s data will also reside on... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...

[A political and social issue] the web’s victory over the proprietary networks that have been built on top of it is not inevitable — it’s going to take lots of hard work. And right now, it’s not just the attention that’s disproportionately lavished on proprietary platforms that want to undermine the open web, it’s the money too. We’ll have to turn... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[End-to-end principle and journalism] The Net employs a principle called end-to-end. Among other things, it assumes that the bulk of intelligence is at the ends of the network — with people and the devices serving them — rather than in the middle, where the phone companies used to be, back when they thought, as old-fashioned formerly modern... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...

[Cellphone pricing madness] understanding the psychological nuances of how a price plan affects customers’ behavior is at least as important to running a cellphone company today as knowing how radio waves spread over a city.

[Market your business on Facebook] For most businesses, Facebook Pages (distinct from individual profiles and Facebook groups) are the best place to start. Pages allow businesses to collect “fans” the way celebrities, sports teams, musicians and politicians do. There are now 1.4 million Facebook Pages and they collect more than 10 million fans... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[Google buys AdMob Advertising] By owning iPhone advertising, Google, who’s behind the best OS challenging the iPhone, is a tough trojan in the iPhone. They have a massive power, since they own the second most important revenue chain that feed the app developers, after Paid apps (owned by Apple). They also own key estates and very soon data... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
[Transmedia] What is particularly unique about Korean mobile culture is the continuing emphasis on the potential of mobile phones as ‘screen’ media. It is not surprising phenomenon considering the weight of ‘screen’ related - all dimensions of hardware and software - industries in Korean society. I would like to illustrate how the mobile screen is... - http://transnets.tumblr.com/post...
