It has been slightly update in September 2011 to include a few evolutions, but is mostly left untouched. [Note: this is a self-translation of a French post I wrote a little while ago. I don't like self-translating, it makes stuff sound less natural. Hopefully this will turn out ok, otherwise I know who to blame.] Stories In Flight FlickrPoet is part of Stories In Flight, an ongoing exploration of storytelling in the age of the Internet. Just enter a paragraph of text, a poem, some lyrics or even just a few random words and FlickrPoet will find matching photos on Flickr based on a search of tags, titles and descriptions of the photos. - You can re-run the search with other images by clicking "Show Story" again. - Poems and lyrics seem to work best, hence the title, but feel free to experiment. - Please let us know if you have suggestions on how to improve FlickrPoet.

Tiny Eyes TinyEyes will show you how a baby sees an image that you provide. Our baby-vision simulation method is based on scientific studies of infant visual perception. Please remember that this is our best scientific guess about how a baby of a particular age would see the world. There is quite a bit of individual variability, so any particular baby may see things differently.

Notes: Content Curation – How Infopreneurs Can Quickly Add Value Content curation, a term that gained popularity in 2010, is the art of culling relevant, valuable and useful information from the vast ocean of data, and presenting it in a cohesive, interesting and comprehensive style that gives a ‘big picture’ view of a specific niche topic. No longer can anyone claim that they can peruse and make sense of all the content that exists (and is being constantly added) on even a very narrow range of subjects. 47 million websites were added in 2009 and an estimated 550 billion documents exist online today. The role of a content curator was first proposed around 2004, when the catchy term ‘Newsmastering’ was introduced by Robin Good of MasterNewMedia.com to describe a dedicated content analyst who would gather, collate and categorize content from various sources and compile it for consumption by those who are interested.
9 Content Curator Tools For Social Media If you attended Les Affaires’ social media conference, “Les Reseaux Sociaux Pour Une Implantation Concrete, Mesurable et Efficace” and did not have the opportunity to sit in on the seminar, “Contexte de B2B: Batissez Votre Strategie Afin D’Optimiser Votre Utilsation Des Reseaux Sociaux” then you missed out on some of the tools that will make a big difference in your strategic approach to social media. Do not worry. Like a good content curator, Intelegia is all about sharing relevant and timely information. The seminar touched upon 15 elements which are needed to build your presence on social networks for business-to-business initiatives. One element was how to gather information to provide relevant content for your target audience in order to build or enhance your brand. Below are the nine tools that were discussed in the seminar.
Twitter for Social Presentations & Information Curation I am reaching new levels of understanding the significance of Twitter on education. Keeping in line with my interest in leveraging social media to make learning more, well, social, I've been intrigued by some ideas I've seen shared on Twitter and other blogs that highlight the importance of participating in a Twitter backchannel while you are presenting. I fully agree that this both stimulates greater discussion and breaks down the formal hierarchy between "presenter" and "audience" (an important element of social/participatory learning). The question I've had is "how"? I was really thrilled when I found Keynote Tweet back in January, a simple script that a user can download and integrate into a Keynote presentation which allows for tweets to be sent automatically when a slide is played in presenter mode. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful at using it and have since read that a recent Twitter API update has rendered the tool dead.

The tweets that bond Twitter , that form of social media in which we let others know our deepest thoughts in 140 characters or less, regularly takes a beating in the popular press. We remember Sarah Palin's infamous tweets and the parodies of those tweets , and wonder how people can be so foolish to (a) broadcast these messages, and (b) to waste time reading them. My students chide me when I suggest that they follow news about psychology, or just news in general, on Twitter. "I don't have 'a' Twitter," they proclaim proudly as if it was some sort of disease.
