Blogs, RSS, IM, Twitter and FriendFeed - the number of sources of sources of information online can feel like it's multiplying exponentially every day. It's easy, natural even, to feel overwhelmed. Especially when we are more familiar with the tightly controlled editorial policies of mainstream media. The social media space is noisy, though. There are many times when filtering that noise effectively makes a lot of sense (some tools discussed below) - but there are also many times when noise is just what we need. Experiments in Noise Control There are many ways you can roughly cut down on the noise in your information stream.

The most recent entry into the noise filtering scene is probably FriendFeed's new "best of" feature. Other services that are good for filtering out noise are del.icio.us popular for a particular tag, AideRSS and Google Reader's overly friendly shared items from friends feature.

On the Beauty of Noise. "Too Many Choices, Too Much Content" sur ReadWriteWeb. Sometimes it's just hard to keep up. In this technology-focused niche we all live in there are new applications, new initiatives, and new platforms that spring up every day, not to mention constantly breaking news that fills our RSS readers. Take a day off and you're behind. Take an hour off and you just missed 300 more blog posts. In addition to the everyday struggles of information overload the average computer user deals with - like the overflowing inbox, for example - those in the internet/new media/technology space aren't just overwhelmed with new content, but also with new applications and choices to manage that content.

La manière dont est rendue visible l’identité des personnes sur les sites du web 2.0 constitue l’une des variables les plus pertinentes pour apprécier la diversité des plateformes et des activités relationnelles qui y ont cours. Que montre-t-on de soi aux autres ? Comment sont rendus visibles les liens que l’on a tissés sur les plateformes d’interaction ? Comment ces sites permettent-ils aux visiteurs de retrouver les personnes qu’ils connaissent et d’en découvrir d’autres ?

Dominique Cardon, sociologue au laboratoire Sense d’Orange Labs, propose ici une typologie des plateformes relationnelles du web 2.0 qui s’organise autour des différentes dimensions de l’identité numérique et du type de visibilité que chaque plateforme confère au profil de ses membres. La décomposition de l’identité numérique L’identité numérique est une notion très large. Le paravent. Le clair-obscur. Le phare. Le post-it. La lanterna magica.

We're well into the current era of the Web, commonly referred to as Web 2.0. Features of this phase of the Web include search, social networks, online media (music, video, etc), content aggregation and syndication (RSS), mashups (APIs), and much more.

Currently the Web is still mostly accessed via a PC, but we're starting to see more Web excitement from mobile devices (e.g. iPhone) and television sets (e.g. XBox Live 360). What then can we expect from the next 10 or so years on the Web? As NatC commented in this week's poll, the biggest impact of the Web in 10 years time won't necessarily be via a computer screen - "your online activity will be mixed with your presence, travels, objects you buy or act with.

Ça me prendra plusieurs jours et j'espère qu'au bout du compte nous y verrons, ensemble, plus clair. Je fais ceci dans le cadre de la préparation de mon bouquin sur web 2.0 et certaines de ces critiques ne datent pas d'hier.

Nous sommes victimes, selon lui, de "la résurgence d'une idée selon laquelle le collectif est le summum de la sagesse". Il n'apprécie guère l'anonymat de Wikipedia et lui reproche que presque tout ce qui s'y trouve existe déjà ailleurs sur le web. Il touche juste quand il dit que: Why does Google remember information. Posted by Peter Fleischer, Global Privacy Counsel We recently announced a new policy to anonymize our server logs after 18–24 months.

We’re the only leading search company to have taken this step publicly. We believe it’s an important part of our commitment to respect user privacy while balancing a number of important factors. In developing this policy, we spoke with various privacy advocates, regulators and others about how long they think the period should be. Three factors were critical.
