MIT Vehicle Design Summit 2.0 - Home
TomFriedman OpEd in NYT "We are the people we have been waiting for" links here: MIT Vehicle Design Summit 2.0 - Home: "VDS Mission Statement The mission of the Vehicle Design Summit is to catalyze an Energy Space Race: to identify the key characteristics of events like the race to the moon and then transpose this energy, passion, focus and urgency to the multitude of global challenges (and opportunities) facing humanity and the planet in this day and age. To achieve this end, VDS will begin by assembling a global consortium of the world's leading thinkers, dreamers, revolutionaries and change agents to develop the collaborative framework necessary to harness the world's genius, imagination and inspiration.

topical maps and real maps and time line visualization
Take the personalization image as a good basic theme - use it to provide the framwork for multiple reading lists augment the existing demo as described in the previous post.
Use it as a base map for contining the reconstruction from the flow of feeds on each topical item
Wlould this make the image an editorial canvas to continue tracking the evolution of the themes of the map.
Editorial overview or just let the map continue to evolve ---the feeds driven by the tags would continue to populate the map with deeper dives into the topics on a timeline
The image could be modified to include new related topics - ie a revised image v 1.2 etc
A time line view of the "collection" would be instructive -
Is this a new way to make sense out of evolving collections of topically/topographically related information flowing from the sources( with new sources possible all the time)
What happens if you make the social graph of sources visible in a second window, so that the blogosphere has a social graphical connection to the topical map? and a time line slider to illustrate the evolution?
What about a 3rd window which is numerically data driven like the world facts visualization
Consider watching these world map related visualizaitons( timeline related data evolution) to get the concept for the type of image maps ( non geo) that would be needed
How does this work for a Wiknommics( or other) topical diagram see next post

The original concept was to use the canvas image( with hotspot ) as the interface to the framework in Grazr - but it may be that the reverse is more engaging - such that the reading list url links to the image which is then clickable for deeeper engagewment.
This will only work well when Grazr is in the FF sidebar and can be used interactively with the canvas image -
I have only the Mapping the edges demo to prototype the process, but it should be good enough
Qustion? How can the reading list be augmented - or used a reconstructo -
Example : 1.Hot spot the image. 2. aselect the links or feeds through grazing the tags from the image hot spots 3. ( nested grazrs? inside the image hotspots?) 4. OR input the hover urls from the grazr reading list (2) so that the process of construction is two way.5. create a blog post containg all of the above OR consider a podcast ( short) as the intro (blog introduces the podcast and the rest flows from the blog post screen,.
How would this work with photomosaics as the link?
what if the grazr was hidden in the image? - multiple grazr widgets - reading lists, rss,multimedia links
How would the image be updated with new RSS feeds? could the tagged hotspot be animated to blink when new stuff arrived making the image a map of the territory
What if the "dashboard was a big image or a combination ( mosaic of smaller images) each of which would blink when new stuff arrived.
What if the dashboard was also blinkable based on social network input from trusted friends ( filtering in the good stuff from Jeery Micahdlski or David Weinberger?

Collaboration System Concept
I am collecting just a few items for you to consider as you think about using social networking tools: blogs, RSS aggregators, Wikis etc.( all of which are component parts of the C0nversationBase toot set. The tool set is shown in this slideshow at slide 30 and afterHere from David Armano's blog are some great diagrams depicting how to design impactful blog-websites You can watch the whole show, but Slides 40 to 45 are the most important for those interested in social media design. The image above is a copy of slide 40 . Just move your cursor over the slideshow and a small pointing hand will appear so you can go forward or backward. If you want to see the slideshow in larger images, click the slideshow link at the bottom right of the embedded slideshow and you can then get a larger size view of this presentation. In either case point to the end of the show and go back to slide 40 for the most useful section.
For my money, David is as good as it gets in interactive design.
here is how he presents the team approach to the process ( we represent the left hand side of the diagram and your chosen creative guys represent the rights side.) You can get a larger view by clicking on the image.
Here is a link from Marc Andreesen on his blogging experience - worth reading blog.pmarca.com: Eleven lessons learned about blogging, so far
I have a lot more tutorial material on the blogosphere and Critt and Sam at ConversationBase are working up a killer app for driving the blog to segmented markets and creating conversations with your target clients - and providing a way to orchestrate the process so that you don't get bogged down in blogging - which can happen.
Once you go this route you can;t really turn back - it is important to consider this advice from another source. http://goodcontent.wordpress.com/2007/06/06/writing-for-the-web-is-less-still-more/
I think we can really outfit you with some great social networking tools, but as a first step, realize it's really cheap to get started, and you can beta your way to where you want to get, and for the most part it's a lot of fun. Here's an old but maybe useful contrarian view from a guru inthe field that most people call him Mr. Web1.0 Jakob Nielsen Write Articles, Not Blog Postings (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)
In any event it's not about driving traffic numbers to your blog - its about connecting with the people you reallywant to communicate with and stimulate conversation with - You can do it, and we hope to help.

Genetic code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Genetic code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The purine bases adenine (A) and guanine (G) are larger and consist of two aromatic rings. The pyrimidine bases cytosine (C) and thymine (T) are smaller and consist of only one aromatic ring. In the double-helix configuration, two strands of DNA are joined to each other by hydrogen bonds in an arrangement known as base pairing"

Diffusion of Innovations
Diffusion of Innovations DOI theory sees innovations as being communicated through certain channels over time and within a particular social system (Rogers, 1995). Individuals are seen as possessing different degrees of willingness to adopt innovations and thus it is generally observed that the portion of the population adopting an innovation is approximately normally distributed over time (Rogers, 1995). Breaking this normal distribution into segments leads to the segregation of individuals into the following five categories of individual innovativeness (from earliest to latest adopters): innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, laggards (Rogers, 1995). Members of each category typically possess certain distinguishing characteristics as shown below:
* innovators - venturesome, educated, multiple info sources
* early adopters - social leaders, popular, educated
* early majority - deliberate, many informal social contacts
* late majority - skeptical, traditional, lower socio-economic status
* laggards - neighbours and friends are main info sources, fear of debt
When the adoption curve is converted to a cumulative percent curve a characteristic S curve (as shown in the first figure below) is generated that represents the rate of adoption of the innovation within the population (Rogers, 1995). The rate of adoption of innovations is impacted by five factors: relative advantage, compatibility, trialability, observability, and complexity (Rogers, 1995). The first four factors are generally positively correlated with rate of adoption while the last factor, complexity, is generally negatively correlated with rate of adoption (Rogers, 1995). The actual rate of adoption is governed by both the rate at which an innovation takes off and the rate of later growth. Low cost innovations may have a rapid take-off while innovations whose value increases with widespread adoption (network effects) may have faster late stage growth. Innovation adoption rates can, however, be impacted by other phenomena. For instance, the adaptation of technology to individual needs can change the nature of the innovation over time. In addition, a new innovation can impact the adoption rate of an existing innovation and path dependence may lock potentially inferior technologies in place.
Diffusion of innovations theory was formalized by Everett Rogers in a 1962 book called Diffusion of Innovations. Rogers stated that adopters of any new innovation or idea could be categorized as innovators (2.5%), early adopters (13.5%), early majority (34%), late majority (34%) and laggards (16%), based on a bell curve. Each adopter's willingness and ability to adopt an innovation would depend on their awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption. Some of the characteristics of each category of adopter include:
* innovators - venturesome, educated, multiple info sources, greater propensity to take risk
* early adopters - social leaders, popular, educated
* early majority - deliberate, many informal social contacts
* late majority - skeptical, traditional, lower socio-economic status
* laggards - neighbours and friends are main info sources, fear of debt
Rogers also proposed a five stage model for the diffusion of innovation:
1. Knowledge - learning about the existence and function of the innovation
2. Persuasion - becoming convinced of the value of the innovation
3. Decision - committing to the adoption of the innovation
4. Implementation - putting it to use
5. Confirmation - the ultimate acceptance (or rejection) of the innovation
* innovators - venturesome, educated, multiple info sources
* early adopters - social leaders, popular, educated
* early majority - deliberate, many informal social contacts
* late majority - skeptical, traditional, lower socio-economic status
* laggards - neighbours and friends are main info sources, fear of debt
