TED Global Headlines remind us daily of the political, economic and environmental woes facing the planet. But behind the scenes lie an amazing array of new ideas, new science, new technology, new social and political thinking, new art and a new understanding of who we are. When you put it all together, an entirely more hopeful view of the future emerges. Many of the remarkable architects of that future -- those who are pushing the boundaries of what is known and expanding the possible -- will join us at TEDGlobal 2010, from all over the world. See the full speaker program here >> Attending TEDGlobal 2010?

Picnic Young Kevin Kelly -- The Technium [Translations: Japanese] Every month the Long Now foundation hosts its Seminar on Long-Term Thinking. I serve as a sort of co-host, winnowing questions from the audience to the speaker. This month’s speaker was Iqbal Quadir, formerly at Harvard and now at MIT. I met Iqbal at least 10 years ago and have been following his adventures in changing the world one cell phone at a time. When Iqbal Quadir applied to US colleges from his home town in Bangladesh he was surprised to discover that not all American universities were found in Washington, DC. Quadir presented this broad outline of development in order to give context for his belief that technology can alleviate poverty. In Quadir’s view, it’s not that centralization per se creates poverty. Whereas many of us in the west, particularly the digital west, agree with this intuitively, we act contrary to this observation when we give large-scale aid to poor countries. Technology is the escape from this quandary.

Ônibus Hacker Best of LeWeb09 • leweb, netzwerke, paris, show, social, soziale Nach 2 intensiven Tagen an der LeWeb in Paris hier einige meiner Eindrücke in Form einer Best of Liste! Vorneweg, die ganze Konferenz war äusserst professionell. Im Gegensatz zur letztjährigen Pannenserie mit WiFi- und Heizproblemen konnte man sicher nichts bemängeln. Es gab genug zu Essen und es war warm genug. Best Emotions: La Poste, Avenue de Flandre, Paris Mein Besuch in der obengenannten Poststelle war Highlight und mein Aufsteller der 2 Tage. Alle Vorträge, Interviews und Podiumsdiskussionen der LeWeb kann man bei ustream.com/leweb kostenlos ansehen. Fazit: Loic LeMeur schafft es wirklich die GROSSEN aus den Staaten nach Europa zu holen. Im Endeffekt muss man wohl Loic mit Claude Nobs vergleichen der in etwa dasselbe mit seinem Jazz Festival in Montreux seit Jahren macht. Was mir aber niemals einleuchten wird, wie kann derselbe vernetzte und elegante Loic LeMeur ein Unternehmen mit einem so verschissenen Erscheinungsbild wie Seesmic führen. Speziellen Dank meinen Sponsoren:
Follow The money Four more social media psychological complaints « Online Journal Following my post on the Seven psychological complaints of bloggers and social media addicts, it appears there have been more syndromes identified. Here they are: Meme Orphanism Identified by KerryJ, sufferers exhibit intense feelings of alienation after missing out on viral ‘event’, e.g. Wit Anxiety Gloom Syndrome (WAGS) Identified by Sarah Hartley: “The sufferer feels what they have to add to the world is so humourous it must be shared – but only after every one of the 140 characters has been considered in depth. Community Disconnection Attack Patient experiences disorientation upon becoming stranded from social media ‘anchors’ such as Facebook groups, Twitter, blog community etc. User Account Phantasm Patient is haunted by the ghosts of user accounts created but never used, or long since abandoned.
