DuckDuckGo, le petit moteur de recherche qui monte
Le cap est avant tout symbolique, mais il traduit une accélération récente : le moteur de recherche DuckDuckGo a dépassé pour la première fois, le 13 février, le million de recherches par jour . Loin, très loin des centaines de millions de recherches quotidiennement effectuées sur Google ou Bing, mais une performance appréciable pour un moteur de recherche maintenu par une poignée de gens - moins de dix personnes à plein temps, sans compter l' aide de bénévoles. Si DuckDuckGo est une entreprise, son projet et sa philosophie vont à l'encontre des pratiques habituelles des moteurs de recherche.The interest of all those involved in the journal, whether curators, lecturers, researchers or participants of curating programs is to create a platform for presentation, discussion and research about this growing area of knowledge. To expand the pool of those involved we aim to cooperate with different institutions and people for every new issue. This platform is intended for both an art-interested public and cultural professionals from various areas of exhibition production and curating.

8 must-reads detail how to verify information in real-time, from social media, users
Over the past couple of years, I’ve been trying to collect every good piece of writing and advice about verifying social media content and other types of information that flow across networks. This form of verification involves some new tools and techniques, and requires a basic understanding of the way networks operate and how people use them. It also requires many of the so-called old school values and techniques that have been around for a while: being skeptical, asking questions, tracking down high quality sources, exercising restraint, collaborating and communicating with team members. For example, lots of people talk about how Andy Carvin does crowdsourced verification and turns his Twitter feed into a real time newswire. Lost in the discussion is the fact that Carvin also develops sources and contacts on the ground and stays in touch with them on Skype and through other means .

Curation Startup Says It Captures 10,000 Links a Day
French startup Pearltrees offers a very unique interface for organizing and sharing collections of links from around the web. Tomorrow the company will release a new, faster version of its application and announce that it has passed 2 million links curated in 7 months since going live. That means an average of 10,000 links have been bookmarked in Pearltrees every day since launch, and presumably many more now that the site has grown.pearltrees
One of the more buzzword-y buzzwords in Silicon Valley right now is the "interest graph," which is supposed to connect people and the topics that they're interested in. Lots of startups promise to tap into the interest graph, but Pearltrees CEO Patrice Lamothe says a new app from his startup is "maybe the first time you actually see an interest graph." The new feature, which Lamothe variously describes as "visual discovery" (his pitch to the tech press) and "related interests" (what it's actually called in the app), is included in the just-launched iPad application from the previously Web-only company. Related interests have also been added to the Pearltrees website, but Lamothe is clearly more excited by the iPad version—he warned that the Web experience probably isn't quite as good. That kind of self-deprecation from a startup CEO is a little strange, except that the Pearltrees iPad app is pretty impressive.

The Power of Passion « Molehills out of Mountains
As adults, is there any doubt that we are more attentive, more purposeful, and more driven when pursing our passions? Countless industries have made their fortunes on this concept – developing toy’s, tools and services that allow us to pursue our interests with the understanding that passion leads to action. Is their any reason to imagine that students are any different? Education is about helping students identify, ignite and develop their passions. When we can do that on a consistent basis, students will learn…and remember.
I do not enjoy Facebook — I find it cloying and impossible — but I am there every day. Last year I watched a friend struggle through breast cancer treatment in front of hundreds of friends. She broadcast her news with caution, training her crowd in how to react: no drama, please; good vibes; videos with puppies or kittens welcomed.

How Insight Labs Gets Smart People To Brainstorm Solutions To The World's Problems | Fast Company
A Chicago agency is finding that the best way to tackle a conundrum, no matter how big, is to put the best and brightest together to think it through. Insight Labs ' pro bono attempts to solve the world's problems started innocently enough. Two years ago, Jeff Leitner , a Chicago-based digital strategist and former journalist, wanted to gather together a group of smart people to brainstorm the solution to a seemingly insurmountable problem. So, he scheduled a three-hour-long discussion in Detroit and asked friends, colleagues, and family to recommend people who would volunteer their time to talk through a problem. Some major smarty pants from companies such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan, Deloitte , Quicken Loans , and Ford agreed to participate. On a January day in 2009, the executives tackled the question : How best to revive the Detroit economy and create jobs?

In the past, I have drawn a distinction between collective intelligence (based on the work of Pierre Levy) and "the Wisdom of the Crowds" model (proposed by James Surowiecki). The first is based on a model of deliberation in which diverse groups of people consciously compare notes and work through problems together. The second is based on a model of aggregation as individual decisions made autonomously get collected and mapped through some technology. The Horizon report makes a similar distinction:Designing for learning – a case for understanding collaboration
On Tuesday 9th Aug I visited Open University to listen to the inaugural lecture of Prof Agnes Kukulska-Hulme – The Mobile Mind: learning differently with mobile devices . More and more I am getting a better picture of what it means to learning in the digital age. The lecture left me reflecting even more learning in the connected, networked, digital age and helped advanced my thinking of how I am visualising collaborative learning or knowledge-building.In the past, I have drawn a distinction between collective intelligence (based on the work of Pierre Levy) and "the Wisdom of the Crowds" model (proposed by James Surowiecki).
