Affaire DSK: en exclusivité, visitez la chambre 2806 «Dring». Lundi après midi, nous sonnons à la porte de la suite 2806 de l'hôtel Sofitel de Manhattan. Après un long moment, l'actuel résident des lieux nous ouvre. Nous lui indiquons que nous sommes journalistes et que la suite de luxe où il réside est devenu un lieu qui suscite une curiosité légitime chez le public français. Il nous invite alors à visiter en estimant que «c'est une question de droit à l'information». C'est là que le samedi 14 mai entre 12 heures et 12h28, Dominique Strauss-Kahn 62 ans, favori à la présidentielle de 2012 et patron du FMI, a été accusé d'agression sexuelle et de tentative de viol par une femme de chambre de l'hôtel, âgée de 32 ans. Une disposition des lieux compatible avec le récit de la victime présumée Depuis les faits, la presse américaine a tenté de reconstituer le plan de la suite 2806 -sans succès- mais aucune image n'a été diffusée de cette «crime scene» qui suscite un grand nombre de fantasmes et d'interrogations.

Google Maps Mania Techmeme What is social media monitoring? This post is another piece in the series I am researching for the article I am writing about social media. This time I have turned my attention to listening, which I have called social media monitoring, but some call blog mining and others call social media research - I'd love to hear your name for it, along with any other comments you have on the post below. In the light of some of the emails I have received following some of the other articles I should stress that these posts are an attempt at reportage rather than polemics, they do not represent what I think should be the case, but what I think is currently the consensus amongst the cognoscenti. An early example of the power of social media monitoring was given in 2005 by the CREEN project [ the project monitored the output of 100 thousand blogs for over three years and recorded the dual instances of science related words with fear/anxiety related words.

L'ignorance : des recettes pour la produire, l'entretenir, la diffuser Le Monde | • Mis à jour le | Par Stéphane Foucart - Bielefeld (Allemagne) Envoyé spécial Etudier ce qu'on ne sait pas : quelle drôle d'idée. C'est en réalisant qu'on s'intéresse beaucoup plus à la production des connaissances qu'à la manière dont la société fabrique et propage l'ignorance que Robert Proctor (université Stanford) a forgé, en 1992, ce mot saisissant : "Agnotologie." Cette "science de l'ignorance" était au centre d'un colloque qui s'est tenu du 30 mai au 1er juin, au Centre d'études interdisciplinaires de l'université de Bielefeld, dans le nord de l'Allemagne. Le projet peut sembler abstrait. Mais d'autres manoeuvres sont plus contre-intuitives. Augmenter le savoir disponible peut être, paradoxalement, une façon d'accroître l'ignorance du public. Comment cette forme d'ignorance se propage-t-elle dans la société ? Pour évaluer la pénétration du discours des industriels du tabac dans l'opinion, Robert Proctor s'est livré à une fascinante expérience. Avec grand succès.
CurationSoft Content Curation Software Le blog de Tris Why publish science in peer-reviewed journals? The recent announcement of a new journal sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society, and the Wellcome Trust generated a bit of discussion about the issues in the scientific publishing process it is designed to address—arbitrary editorial decisions, slow and unhelpful peer review, and so on. Left unanswered, however, is a more fundamental question: why do we publish scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals to begin with? What value does the existence of these journals add? In this post, I will argue that cutting journals out of scientific publishing to a large extent would be unconditionally a good thing, and that the only thing keeping this from happening is the absence of a “killer app”. Google Scholar in 2015? The publishing process as it stands currently The problems with this system have been pointed out ad nauseam; the most succinct statement of the issues I’ve seen is in a nice commentary by former British Medical Journal editor Richard Smith. 1.
