Phi Beta Iota: Eugene Garfield gave us citation analysis via the Institute for Scientific Information, and Dick Klavans and company have given us the (fragmented) web of knowledge.  Top commercial intelligence practitioners have long known that published experts can lead to unpublished experts without which ground truth cannot be determined.  If citations are the “things” that can be measured, “relationships” or “transactions” are the intangibles between the spaces, the Ying of the Yang.  This article is important in part because it coincides with MajGen Robert Scales, USA (Ret) view that WWI was about chemistry, WWII was about physics, WWIII was about information, and WWIV is about human factors.

New ecology app makes wildlife viewing a cultural sport

Project NOAH and its innovative app are about to go global with a media blitz.

Social media to some is the antithesis of all things nature. With people’s heads often bent over handheld devices, it seems like the last thing they will do is notice a chirping bluebird or flying ladybug overhead. But a new app for the iPhone seeks to change all that. Slate reports that Project NOAH, or networked organisms and habitats, can make your mobile device into a handheld wildlife spotting tool.

Why Social Media Is Reinventing Activism

The argument that social media fosters feel-good clicking rather than actual change, began long before Malcolm Gladwell brought it up in the New Yorker — long enough to generate its own derogatory term. “Slacktivism,” as defined by Urban Dictionary, is “the act of participating in obviously pointless activities as an expedient alternative to actually expending effort to fix a problem.”

If you only measure donations, social media is no champion. The national chapter of the Red Cross, for instance, has 208,500 “likes” on Facebook, more than 200,000 followers on Twitter, and a thriving blog. But according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, online donations accounted for just 3.6% of private donations made to the organization in 2009.

But social good is a movement still in its infancy. Facebook launched in 2004, YouTube in 2005 and Twitter in 2006. Let’s give the tools a little while to grow up before we start judging them.

All of that virtual liking, following, joining, signing, forwarding, and, yes, clicking, has a lot of potential to grow into big change. Here’s why:

Phi Beta Iota: Although the search produces Graphics Directory A-Z as of 28 September 2010 and within that one can find Graphic: Robert Steele Adopts Buckminster Fuller that is too far from our preferred outcome.  Here is the human in the loop answer: it's called the Dymaxion map.

Here are a whole bunch of images.

Within those, the two below are the most interesting.  The second was used in a discussion between Buckminster Fuller and the Russian leadership, to show how a global electrical grid could be achieved that would eradicate the current 50% loss from source to end-user.

The Socialization of Products & Services

After writing a piece on The Memetic Web & The Internet of Products several weeks ago, I started to think more about the implications products and services would have on the Attention Economy and why the notion of “social” seems to be so often misconstrued in the larger context of the marketing and media worlds.

We talk a lot about social in terms of things like corporate communications, CRM, content development and to a greater extent, sharing behaviors – all of which are great, mind you – but I think what we don’t talk about enough or even build into our subsequent strategies and executions is the very thread of what social is in an empathic and evolutionary sense… Which is to do and propagate good.

Tip of the Hat to Pierre Levy at LinkedIn.

Phi Beta Iota: This is a very–very–thoughtful and deep blog posting, and the fact that Pierre Levy, one of the twelve apostles of Collective Intelligence, recommends it, makes it doubly important.  Written by Guenther Sonnenfeld, it includes a short video of Alex Bogusky sharing important ideas.  It includes references to Ray Kurzweil, technology as an off-shoot of biology, and the emerging nature of socio-economic ecosystems in which trust is the blood.  All the kind of stuff our leaders–if we had any–should be embracing.
