039;s Entrepreneurship Corner: Eric Ries, Author - Evangelizing
In this dynamic panel from ETech 2005, Joshua Schachter (del.icio.us), Stewart Butterfield (Flickr), Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia) and Clay Shirky discuss several topics important to folksonomies. Surprising aspects of the implementation of tagging in various environments and approaches to balancing the needs of the system to the desires of the user are discussed from various viewpoints. The participants field questions from the audience regarding aggregation of tagged data from multiple applications, "folksonomic" approaches to large-scale categorization, and feedback for new taggers to increase the usefulness of the data for the user and the group. Throughout the discussion the panel emphasizes both the similarities and the differences between the services, the ways they are used, and how they accomplish what they set out to achieve.

IT Conversations: James Surowieki
In technophile circles, the idea that networks and network effects will inherently provide for better decision making is an understood, a truism widely agreed. Author and New Yorker columnist James Surowiecki, argues that while there are many benefits to aggregate decision making, there are several perils and misbehavior that individuals and observers would be wise to take into account. Drawing on research for his recent book The Wisdom of Crowds , Surowiecki explores several areas in which a group's process can result in improper decisions.Memetics is an intellectually rich but controversial field which seeks to explain how our minds and cultures are designed by natural selection acting on replicating information, just as organisms evolve by natural selection acting on genes. Sue Blackmore, one of the field's leading thinkers, skillfully unfolds the major arguments for a meme's-eye view of the world, and explores the implications for humanity. Are our brains best seen as machines invented by and for propagation of selfish memes? First articulated in Richard Dawkins' classic work, The Selfish Gene, memetics has been dismissed by some scientists, and proven a useful framework to others. Meme replication is theorized to follow genetic algorithms which inevitably lead to evolution whenever conditions of variation and differential copying of information occur. A key question is why certain memes (such as stories, songs, technologies, games, theories, lectures) survive at the expense of others.
