Sharing stories about wikis the Pecha Kucha way
I recently had the pleasure of attending an event organized by Karen Huffman the Senior Applications & Database Administrator, Information Systems & Technology at the National Geographic Society. The lively format for the event was “ Pecha Kucha ” (pronounced “pe-chak-cha”) a presentation style that was created in 2003 by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham two architects from Tokyo. Pecha Kucha limits each presentation to 20 slides, and 20 seconds per slide which keeps presenters on track and allows for more presentations to fit into a single event. Watching Pecha Kucha presentations is quite exciting, the fast pace really keeps the speaker on their toes, and as an audience member I found myself able to absorb a lot more information than I typically would get out of a one hour presentation on a single topic. Atlassian sponsored a live webcast of the event, and also videotaped the event so it can be archived.
IST Collaborative Tools
Collaboration has long been a key element of scholarly work, and that trend has accelerated in recent years. In part, this is due to the near ubiquity of information technology, which has increased both the range and speed of collaborative activity. In a growing number of disciplines, technologically-mediated collaboration is simply how work gets done. This burst of innovation has resulted in a collaborative tools landscape that is rich and multifaceted, yet, too often, fragmented and unmanageable. To effectively support the activities of its members -- in research, teaching, learning, service, and administration -- UC Berkeley needs to create an IT environment in which it is both easy and natural for people to collaborate with colleagues and partners within and beyond its boundaries. The UC Berkeley Collaborative Tools Strategy, developed in 2008, lays the groundwork for the creation of such an environment.
video collaboration, e-meeting and web conferencing on the Internet
Since Google’s acquisition of Marratech’s video conferencing software in April 2007, we have continued to support the Marratech software and making every effort to provide continuity to our loyal customer base. We have now reached the end of the Marratech company.
Smart Mobs
Marc Halpern, Vice President of Gartner Manufacturing Industry Advisory Service, recently suggested that crowdsourcing could fix manufacturing by leaning on crowds for some aspects of product design and development.I'm really digging all the people, especially young African-American people, saying that one man alone can't change the country in 4 or 8 years. It takes all of us working together.
Blogumentary
Flickr is an image hosting and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community that was created by Ludicorp in 2004 and acquired by Yahoo! in 2005. In addition to being a popular website for users to share and embed personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers to host images that they embed in blogs and social media . [ 2 ] Yahoo reported in June 2011 that Flickr had a total of 51 million registered members and 80 million unique visitors. [ 3 ] In August 2011 the site reported that it was hosting more than 6 billion images and this number continues to grow steadily according to reporting sources. [ 4 ] Photos and videos can be accessed from Flickr without the need to register an account but an account must be made in order to upload content onto the website. Registering an account also allows users to create a profile page containing photos and videos that the user has uploaded and also grants the ability to add another Flickr user as a contact.

Social network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A social network is a social structure made up of a set of actors (such as individuals or organizations) and the dyadic ties between these actors (such as relationships, connections, or interactions). A social network perspective is employed to model the structure of a social group, how this structure influences other variables, or how structures change over time. [ 1 ] The study of these structures uses methods in social network analysis to identify influential nodes, local and global structures, and network dynamics.
Social bookmarking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to organize, store, manage and search for bookmarks of resources online. Many online bookmark management services have launched since 1996; Delicious , founded in 2003, popularized the terms "social bookmarking" and " tagging ". Tagging is a significant feature of social bookmarking systems, enabling users to organize their bookmarks in flexible ways and develop shared vocabularies known as folksonomies . Descriptions may be added to these bookmarks in the form of metadata , so users may understand the content of the resource without first needing to download it for themselves. Such descriptions may be free text comments, votes in favour of or against its quality, or tags that collectively or collaboratively become a folksonomy . Folksonomy is also called social tagging , "the process by which many users add metadata in the form of keywords to shared content". [ 1 ]
Weblog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A blog (a portmanteau of the term web log ) [ 1 ] is a personal journal published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. Blogs are usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often are themed on a single subject. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog . The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users. (Previously a knowledge of such technologies as HTML and FTP had been required to publish content on the Web.)
A wiki ( i / ˈ w ɪ k i / WIK -ee ) is a website whose users can add, modify, or delete its content via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a rich-text editor . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often created collaboratively by multiple users. Examples include community websites, corporate intranets , knowledge management systems, and notetaking .

After so many years and versions, you’d be forgiven for thinking Adobe would have run out of worthwhile upgrades. They haven’t. Photoshop CS6 is more than just a solid upgrade. There is plenty to recommend it for just about every serious Photoshop user.
