I like the homepage description: &#x201c;A search engine powered by tweets,&#x201d; and its <a href="http://topsy.com/about">About</a> page states,<br /><br />&#x201c;Topsy is a new kind of search engine, with a new way of looking at the Internet. Topsy doesn't think the Internet is a collection of documents. Or even a web of documents. Topsy sees the Internet as a stream of conversations. Topsy treats people differently from the webpages they create and the things they say. And Topsy sees that people in every community are connected in a web of relationships, where each person influences other people to read, talk and think about things.<br /><br />&#x201c;Topsy listens to the conversations taking place all the time on the living, social web. This is the rapidly growing, exciting world of Twitter, Blogs, Flickr, Digg, Yelp, Identica and many other communities. People use these communities to share reviews, opinions, messages, comments and discussions about things. Topsy indexes those things. Topsy indexes what people are talking about.<br /><br />&#x201c;Because of how Topsy works, Topsy can do things other search engines don't usually do. Topsy results are fresh, because they're based on what you're talking about right now. Or this week. Or the past month. Topsy has "trackback" pages for everything in its index, showing what everyone is saying about that thing. Conversations are about people, and Topsy has pages for every person it listens to - listing the things you've been talking about.&#x201d;<br /><br />Google tracks blogs but not comments and it does not, far as I know, track tweets. I&#x2019;m sure it will. But for now, as the the zeitgeist is increasingly carried by tweets (sigh...), not to surf this wave is to come close to sinking in a sea of sharks. Oh, I doubt Google will disappear and expect it to evolve, to grow ever larger, and to do this fast. But I also have to wonder if it&#x2019;s losing its agility, if it&#x2019;s not increasingly beholden to legacy mechanisms of revenue generation. Sure, it&#x2019;s famous for experimenting and issuing novelty items not enough people liked. (Though I confess I rather liked many.) it tries to be different from itself, to stay young. But it&#x2019;s not about to sacrifice, and it can&#x2019;t, the machine that&#x2019;s made it so rich. Meanwhile, there is now Topsy.

My tentative title is some version of &#x201c;Community Works or How Participatory Communities Are Changing The World.&#x201d; Other options were along the lines of, &#x201c;Politics and Community In the Age of Web 2.0&#x201d; and so on. I guess what I&#x2019;m interested in pursuing is the relation of community organization and community work as seen in Foss. I don&#x2019;t see that much of a difference: in each case, people work on a joint endeavour, sharing their work, their results to build something that is new and frequently remarkable. It worked for Obama, whose deserved victory has made &#x201c;community organizing&#x201d; a more respected term, for he clearly won in great part because of his skill in organizing communities.<br /><br />But what is a community here? A participatory community, the sort I find interesting and am writing about, is approximately rhizomatic in structure, meaning that like grass, mushrooms and so on, there is no single central node; there are rather many. In the case of something like the Obama&#x2019;s campaign, there was of course a specific focus, and there were certainly marching orders, agenda items that the Obama community was asked to abide by. But if I understand correctly, there was still a lot of room for local independence, provided it fell within the campaign&#x2019;s general focus, to educate and to get the vote out. Thus, there were lots of local parties and though there ware guidelines for these, the actual implementation was up to the hosts.<br /><br />But why did they participate at all? Why so many, too? Well, for the same reason that Foss is taking the world by storm: because the classic hierarchical and top-down systems of authority and value frustrate people. It&#x2019;s easy to sit there a consumer to what is given and to grumble at most but not to effectively question, content with the idea that you have no power at all, or just the power to complain. But no one really likes that, for it&#x2019;s really not fun to be told again and again that fear and uselessness and boredom are your appointed lot and that you can only look upon the doings of those who can via the glass of the tv.<br /><br />And it&#x2019;s quite another to be given the chance to make a difference. A <em>real</em> difference. Like electing a president; like changing the course of history. Like creating something new that disrupts the very way we do things, make things, distribute things. Sure, not everyone wants this; tv can be fun, and participation is not for everyone. But say that only 1 percent do find it rewarding. That&#x2019;s a lot of people. And they have friends.and family. These others will be influenced, will see that this is simply not bizarre behaviour; that being a citizen doesn&#x2019;t mean you can buy the best things cheapest but that you can make something with others. <br /><br />I tend to believe that bling consumerism is dead or at least dying. And that participatory communities are coming to the fore, rising. I&#x2019;m by no means alone. It&#x2019;s the zeitgeist and one that has been gaining momentum for the last couple of years. Foss is a profoundly important node, for ultimately it is not really about software but about a way of making and distributing what you make; and of working with those near and far, connected by a technology that is changing so fast the present is dulled by the future we can hardly wait to arrive. But we have to make sure that what we get allows us the freedom of participation. Otherwise, it&#x2019;ll be so very last century.<br /><br />Some cool links:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.keionline.org/blogs/2009/05/27/brazil-ecuador-paraguay/">Knowledge Ecology Notes &#x00bb; Brazil, Ecuador and Paraguay submit proposal on a WIPO Treaty for Reading Disabled Persons</a><br /> <br />(in my capacity in ODF campaigns, I&#x2019;m increasingly involved in Accessibility issues.

Topsy doesn't think the Internet is a collection of documents. Or even a web of documents. Topsy sees the Internet as a stream of conversations.

And Topsy sees that people in every community are connected in a web of relationships, where each person influences other people to read, talk and think about things.<br /><br />&#x201c;Topsy listens to the conversations taking place all the time on the living, social web. This is the rapidly growing, exciting world of Twitter, Blogs, Flickr, Digg, Yelp, Identica and many other communities.

Topsy indexes what people are talking about.<br /><br />&#x201c;Because of how Topsy works, Topsy can do things other search engines don't usually do. Topsy results are fresh, because they're based on what you're talking about right now. Or this week. Or the past month.

My tentative title is some version of &#x201c;Community Works or How Participatory Communities Are Changing The World.&#x201d; Other options were along the lines of, &#x201c;Politics and Community In the Age of Web 2.0&#x201d; and so on. I guess what I&#x2019;m interested in pursuing is the relation of community organization and community work as seen in Foss. I don&#x2019;t see that much of a difference: in each case, people work on a joint endeavour, sharing their work, their results to build something that is new and frequently remarkable. It worked for Obama, whose deserved victory has made &#x201c;community organizing&#x201d; a more respected term, for he clearly won in great part because of his skill in organizing communities.<br /><br />But what is a community here? A participatory community, the sort I find interesting and am writing about, is approximately rhizomatic in structure, meaning that like grass, mushrooms and so on, there is no single central node; there are rather many. In the case of something like the Obama&#x2019;s campaign, there was of course a specific focus, and there were certainly marching orders, agenda items that the Obama community was asked to abide by. But if I understand correctly, there was still a lot of room for local independence, provided it fell within the campaign&#x2019;s general focus, to educate and to get the vote out. Thus, there were lots of local parties and though there ware guidelines for these, the actual implementation was up to the hosts.<br /><br />But why did they participate at all? Why so many, too? Well, for the same reason that Foss is taking the world by storm: because the classic hierarchical and top-down systems of authority and value frustrate people. It&#x2019;s easy to sit there a consumer to what is given and to grumble at most but not to effectively question, content with the idea that you have no power at all, or just the power to complain. But no one really likes that, for it&#x2019;s really not fun to be told again and again that fear and uselessness and boredom are your appointed lot and that you can only look upon the doings of those who can via the glass of the tv.<br /><br />And it&#x2019;s quite another to be given the chance to make a difference. A <em>real</em> difference. Like electing a president; like changing the course of history. Like creating something new that disrupts the very way we do things, make things, distribute things. Sure, not everyone wants this; tv can be fun, and participation is not for everyone. But say that only 1 percent do find it rewarding. That&#x2019;s a lot of people. And they have friends.and family. These others will be influenced, will see that this is simply not bizarre behaviour; that being a citizen doesn&#x2019;t mean you can buy the best things cheapest but that you can make something with others. <br /><br />I tend to believe that bling consumerism is dead or at least dying. And that participatory communities are coming to the fore, rising. I&#x2019;m by no means alone. It&#x2019;s the zeitgeist and one that has been gaining momentum for the last couple of years. Foss is a profoundly important node, for ultimately it is not really about software but about a way of making and distributing what you make; and of working with those near and far, connected by a technology that is changing so fast the present is dulled by the future we can hardly wait to arrive. But we have to make sure that what we get allows us the freedom of participation.

These others will be influenced, will see that this is simply not bizarre behaviour; that being a citizen doesn&#x2019;t mean you can buy the best things cheapest but that you can make something with others. <br /><br />I tend to believe that bling consumerism is dead or at least dying. And that participatory communities are coming to the fore, rising. I&#x2019;m by no means alone. It&#x2019;s the zeitgeist and one that has been gaining momentum for the last couple of years. Foss is a profoundly important node, for ultimately it is not really about software but about a way of making and distributing what you make; and of working with those near and far, connected by a technology that is changing so fast the present is dulled by the future we can hardly wait to arrive. But we have to make sure that what we get allows us the freedom of participation. Otherwise, it&#x2019;ll be so very last century.<br /><br />Some cool links:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.keionline.org/blogs/2009/05/27/brazil-ecuador-paraguay/">Knowledge Ecology Notes &#x00bb; Brazil, Ecuador and Paraguay submit proposal on a WIPO Treaty for Reading Disabled Persons</a><br /> <br />(in my capacity in ODF campaigns, I&#x2019;m increasingly involved in Accessibility issues.

Et pourtant quels beaux projets il y a derrière. RIF cela veut dire Ressources Internet Francophones, OIF c'est l'Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, et Ryxeo, heu... c'est Ãric Seigne :-). -<br /> -Le RIF, c'est un réseau de serveurs miroir de proximité pour faciliter lâaccès aux ressources Internet disséminées sur la toile à travers le monde, aux populations des pays en voie de développement de lâespace Francophone. Lorsque j'étais au Burkina, pour télécharger OpenOffice.org, il me fallait près de 8 heures, vous imaginez combien cela peut être rédhibitoire et le coût que cela représente. Grâce à ce réseau de proximité, tous ces logiciels libres sont mis à disposition, il y a donc également beaucoup moins de chance que votre téléchargement arrive corrompu. -<br /> -Actuellement le réseau existe au Burkina Faso, au Cameroun, en Côte d'Ivoire, au Mali et à Madagascar. L'idée n'est pas seulement de mettre à disposition des logiciels libres, mais également du contenu. Un contenu qui serait partagé, mais aussi créé au sein de la francophonie. Je ne vais pas donner les détails techniques de cette opération, vous les découvrirez en suivant ces liens&nbsp;:</p> -<ul> -<li>le site du projet et son explication <a href="http://oif-rif.gforge.ryxeo.com/" hreflang="fr">http://oif-rif.gforge.ryxeo.com/</a></li> -<li>la forge Ryxeo <a href="http://gforge.ryxeo.com/projects/oif-rif/" hreflang="fr">http://gforge.ryxeo.com/projects/oif-rif/</a></li> -</ul> -<p><br /> -Si vous faites partie du monde de l'éducation, <a href="http://www.ryxeo.com/Ecole-Numerique-Rurale-et-AbulEdu.html" hreflang="fr">découvrez également l'école numérique rurale et AbulÃdu</a>, encore un très beau projet, avec un solution logicielle dédiée à l'éducation qui existe depuis plus de 10 ans et un environnement technique sécurisé (serveur réseau, gestion des journaux, authentification et sécurisation des connexions internet).

Le vendredi 8 et le samedi 9 Mai seront dédiées pour moi à ces journées. C'est au même endroit que l'an passé à Saint Gilles, à la Maison des cultures. Le vendredi est une journée consacrée aux professionnels alors que le samedi est plus grand public. Il y a des stands, des conférences, des ateliers (inscription requise), une présentation du LPI et une très bonne ambiance assurée :-)</p></description> - <pubDate>Sun, 26 Apr 2009 08:53:04 +0000</pubDate> -</item> </channel> </rss> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
