What if you took everything you had and made it publicly available on the Internet? What if you opened up your most secret of secrets and encouraged your customers, friends, family members, peers and, yes, even your competitors to play with, tinker and devise that better mousetrap? It sounds a little insane. Welcome to crowdsourcing. "For the last decade or so, companies have been looking overseas, to India or China, for cheap labour. But now ...

First it was Google:Google search isn't just about looking up football scores from last weekend or finding a great hotel for your next vacation. It can also be used for the public good. Yesterday, we announced Google Flu Trends, which uses aggregated search data in an effort to confront the challenge of influenza outbreaks.By taking Google Trends — where you can see snapshots of what's on the public's collective mind — and applying the tool ...

The bigger question: what happens to the DNC? Does it become an extension of the White House? Does it retain a measure of independence? How much control does David Axelrod wish to assert over the party? The party's different these days. Technologically, it's caught up -- or even more advanced than -- the RNC. The DNC chair could be the donor-janitor-in-chief, the 2012 campaign manager in waiting, or simply the keeper of the list.

Special for the Huffington Post Eric S. Margolis November 7, 2008 America's `time of madness,' to use the words of novelist John Le Carré, is over. After years of post-9/11 national psychosis, in which the Bush administration launched unprovoked foreign wars, used assassinations, torture, and kidnapping, curtailed the constitutional rights of Americans, sneered at environmentalism, whipped up Islamophobia, and made the US detested around the globe, the nation's long nightmare of fear, religious extremism and ...

I rediscovered this TED talk by James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds. James Surowiecki pinpoints the moment when social media became an equal player in the world of news-gathering: the 2005 tsunami, when YouTube video, blogs, IMs and txts carried the news — and preserved moving personal stories from the tragedy. . Thanks to @gauravonomics for pointing to this on Twitter. I remember in a post on my reflections I had referred to ...

UPDATE: We have 500 Nostradamical invites for Mashable readers. Visit the site and use the code MASHABLE to get access. Nostradamical, a UK startup that’s currently in private beta, is ironically a little late with its Ruby on Rails-powered, “crowdsourcing”-inspired predictions site. And predicting its success depends on the site’s ability to plug into other audiences rapidly. The short, lazy description: it’s “Digg for predictions.” The long one, courtesy of the Nostradamical site: - Use ...

I heard a television pundit say something the other night that was very insightful. I know, remarkable, but there it is. He said, anticipating the event of an Obama election, that the ensuing political struggles would all be conducted between the two forty-yard lines. I think this is exactly right. On the one hand it is reassuring for those of a conservative emotional temperament, because it means that there won't be drastic, radical changes for ...

Almost a century and a half after Orélie-Antoine de Tounens assumed the title of King of Araucania-Patagonia, his descendants still lay claim to the throne of that putative monarchy at the southern tip of South America. The website that maintains a flicker of hope for Araucania-Patagonian* independence states that De Tounens, a French lawyer, was crowned King by the native Mapuche (or Araucana) Indians. This sounds a bit on the self-serving side of far-fetched, considering ...

MobileMeはまさにモバイラーのための、さらに言えばiPhoneやiPod Touchを持っているユーザのためのサービスと言える。カレンダーやメール等を同期してくれる機能が便利なのだが、フリーのExchangeサーバサービスを使えば同様の機能が使えてしまうので私自身はお試し期間の途中で止めてしまった。 MobileMeクローンサービスをはじめてみる？ 有料なので止めてしまったMobileMeではあるが、無料であれば他のMac OSXとのデータ同期に便利かも知れない。他にもストレージサービスも使いこなせば便利だろう。そこで自分でMobileMeサービスを立ててしまおう。 今回紹介するオープンソース・ソフトウェアはdotMac、オープンソースの.Mac（現MobileMe）サーバだ。 dotMacは.Mac時代に作られていたソフトウェアで、HTTPサーバを立てて、そこで.Macライクなサービスを展開できるようにするソフトウェアだ。HTTPSサーバを立てたり、DAVをはじめとした様々な設定を行う必要があるため、インストールは若干面倒だ。 管理画面はシンプル .Mac向けではあるが、MobileMeでもログインは可能だった。ディスクのクォートを予め定めておけば、その分だけiDiskが使えるようになる。さらにブックマークや連絡先などのデータをバックアップすることもできるようになる（はず。筆者環境では失敗した）。 .Mac時代からメンテナンスされていないため、動作させるまでも色々なステップを踏む必要がある。だがMobileMeサービスを手軽にはじめられれば、恩恵は大きいはずだ。Mac OSXユーザで有料サービスを使えずにいる方はトライしてみてはいかがだろう。 dotmac - Google Code http://code.googl...Shared by Daisuke Murase (42) dtybywl (92) Eiji Kitamura (19) mikannista (29) Shuhei Koide (60) typocoder (600) yoshy (393)Contribute commentرسالهی صد فرمان (228) permalink
