Normally, I stay away from assumptions: We all know the saying about what assuming does to you and me! When it comes to managing or building communities, online or on the ground, the work can seem overwhelming and sometimes even never-ending. Wherever you are, and whatever the kind of community you are wrangling, there are some general lessons that I recommend. 1. I don’t say this to offend you, but just as a good reminder. All that you can really assume are the things that aren’t assumptions; give your community the chance to tell you their preferences and interests, and track what you can (from email opens and clicks, to actions taken) to be sure you are responding to the facts whenever possible. 2. There are mind-boggling reports and stats our there that show just how much time many of us are spending [wasting?] 3. 4. This is a big one. 5. Trolls are real, it’s true.

Internet Usage World Stats - Internet and Population Statistics Future - Science & Environment - Drake equation: How many alien civilizations exist? Are we alone? It is a question that has occupied mankind for centuries. Today, we live in an age of exploration, where robots on Mars and planet-hunting telescopes are beginning to allow us to edge closer to an answer. While we wait to establish contact, one technique we can use back on Earth is an equation that American astronomer Frank Drake formulated in the 1960s to calculate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations may exist in the Milky Way galaxy. It is not a rigorous equation, offering a wide range of possible answers. Until ground-based observations, space telescopes and planet-roving robots uncover any tell-tale signs of life, what better way to speculate on how many intelligent alien civilizations may exist than to explore the universe with our interactive version of the equation.

Monsieur Dream (point com) Time Spent on Social Networks up 82% Around the World inShare11 Nielsen recently released a new report that officially documents what many of us already know, just never substantiated through data. According to a study published at the end of January 2010, Nielsen observed the online social activity of consumers around the world and discovered an 82% increase in time spent on social networking sites in December 2009. The audience for Social Networks also increased year-over-year for the last three years, reaching an estimated audience of over 300 million. Specifically, online visitors concentrated their time on social networks and blogs, placing them ahead of other forms of engagement and interaction including online games and instant messaging. In the U.S., time spent participating in social networks and reading blogs increased 210% year-over-year and the average time per person grew by 143% year-over-year in December 2009. Facebook and Twitter were alone in the competition for attracting visitors.

Information visualization Graphic representation of a minute fraction of the WWW, demonstrating hyperlinks Information visualization or information visualisation is the study of (interactive) visual representations of abstract data to reinforce human cognition. The abstract data include both numerical and non-numerical data, such as text and geographic information. However, information visualization differs from scientific visualization: "it’s infovis [information visualization] when the spatial representation is chosen, and it’s scivis [scientific visualization] when the spatial representation is given".[1] Overview[edit] Partial map of the Internet early 2005, each line represents two IP addresses, and some delay between those two nodes. The field of information visualization has emerged "from research in human-computer interaction, computer science, graphics, visual design, psychology, and business methods. Data analysis is an indispensable part of all applied research and problem solving in industry. Stuart K.
