Lahendusi kommentaariläbu vastu
Daniel tõstatas Memokraadis taas kord vana lahendamata teema Eesti online-meedias möllavate anonüümsete internetikommentaatorite laiematest ühiskondlikest mõjudest, millele me iga päev ei mõtle. (Eriti hea on sel teemal tema "ühevaatuseline näidend" Sõnavabadus.) Kirjutasin selle teema jätkuks ühe postituse võimalikest lahendustest. Ja otsustasin, et ka selle koht on pigem Memokraadis, kus see teema, lugejad ja diskussioon täies hoos. Loe siit....
Intiimsusest, metaandmetest ja leidmisest
Käisin eile ühe suurema koolituse raames Eesti valitsusasutuste kommunikatsiooniinimestega võrgus suhtlemise teemal mõtteid vahetamas. Plaanis oli lihtsalt vestlusring, aga teemat enda jaoks struktureerides tekkisid ka mõned slaidid, mida siinkohal jagan: Suhtlus võrgusView more presentations from Sten Tamkivi. Eks ilma juurde räägitava jututa nad ilmselt segased ole, aga võib-olla võiks mõnda teemat pisut rohkem lahti kirjutada. Kui keegi annaks kommentaarina märku, kas mõni slaididest paistev mõttekäik on selleks piisavalt intrigeeriv või hoopis täiesti arusaamatu, siis oleks selleks rohkem motivatsiooni aega võtta....
A Day in Twitter User's Life
I've found myself using Twitter more and more recently. In large part it comes on the expense of blogging here - the mental entry barrier is so much different from taking proper time out of a busy day to write a polished blog entry versus shooting away compressed 140 character thought-bits from my mobile in the middle of a meeting or in transit when travelling. I've experimented quite a bit with what I tweet about. At some point I jotted...
Blogimispõhimõtted
Villu küsis mult sama küsimuse, mis Telleriltki (ja ilmselt mitte ainult): [15:44:41] Villu Arak: Räägin lähiajal korporatiivblogimise vallas ringikompavatele inimestele blogimise rõõmudest. Tahaks pisut tsiteerida tarku inimesi oma jutu kõrvale - olgu siis nimeliselt või anonüümselt. Kuna sa oled aktiivne blogiserverite bittidega täitja, mõtsin uurida, millised on nt. sinu 3 tipmist blogimisräkitiga seotud põhimõtet või käsku, mida sa ise kirjutades teadlikult või alateadlikult järgid. Esimese hooga tulid sellised mõtted: Internetist ei saa midagi kustutada. Blogis ei saa öelda midagi, mida...
Skype 4.0 Beta 3 - UPDATED
Skype launched the third beta version of the new and shiny 4.0 client for Windows in December. I missed reblogging the news here, but you can read from the source what Mike said about Beta 3 on Skype Blogs. In a nutshell, the History is back, a new Bandwidth Manager improves your audio and video call quality and the look of the whole client skin has been refreshed. If you did not get it then, then today is a great...
Tired of Steve Jobs Health "Reports"
Well, ever since Steve Jobs went skinny (again, that is), the global Apple community and both new and old media have been nuts about speculations around his health. During the holidays it was quite funny to see a classic butterfly effect in action when Ross and Robert Scoble were... buying yogurt in Palo Alto. "Confirmed: Steve is healthy!" went from a casual comment of the yogurt counter employee to Chinese tech news in just a matter of hours. Yesterday I...
Psühholoogiline relv võitluseks idioot-kommentaatoritega
YouTube on välja arendanud ühe nutika lisavõimaluse: äsjakirjutatud kommentaari kuuldavalt kirjutajale ette lugemine: Eriti tore on see, et Google arendajad korjasid idee üles hiljutisest XKCD veebikoomiksi naljast ja lihtsalt tegidki kiiresti ära. Hetkel küll valikulise lisavõimalusena, mitte kohustusliku etapina kommentaari postitamisel. Idee siis selles, et sappi pritsiv, ropendav, sõimav, grammatikareegleid eirav või täiesti artikuleerimatut võrgu-slängi kasutav anonüümne kommentaator peab kogu oma sopa enne omal nahal ja kõrvus personaalselt läbi elama, enne kui see teiste kasutajateni jõuab. Ja ehk võiks seeläbi...
Skype 4.0 is smaller again
As promised in June, the second iteration of Skype 4.0 client is now available for download. If you got on to beta 1 and liked it or hated it, I highly recommend the upgrade to beta 2. The past quarter has really passed fast. I'm amazed how much the 4.0 research, design, product and project management, development and quality assurance teams got through. Especially given that you have to work under timeline pressure while at the same time being called...
Skype 4.0 beta 1 is out!
Yes, it has taken something like 2 years from first conceptual ideas being bounced around. I've been involved in Skype's Desktop clients team since March and I have to tell you, approaching the first beta launch of our 4.0 client is one of the reasons for deafening silence on this blog. June especially has been very intense and I'm truly proud of what the hundreds of people involved have pulled off. Please do read the official blog post, download...
Estonian - the Most Insignificant Language?
Some while ago an online media outlet ran a poll, asking the readers where do they think Estonian language falls among the languages of this world by "usefulness". Many Estonian-speakers do tend to think that a million speakers means... nothing. That the language is on the verge of going distinct. About 2/3rds of answers ranked the language to the bottom third of worlds' 6000 languages. There was a linguistics forum in April that surfaced some interesting data of the contrary,...
Numbers to Prove How Much I Love Skype Chats
Played around with some simple queries in my active Skype chats database, which weighs 215MB in plain text and has data since May 16th 2006. Probably I did a computer migration around then and earlier history (since I started using an early beta of Skype in mid-2003) is buried somewhere in backups. Found out that I have sent 59709 and received 273715 messages during this time. And respectively 27389 outbound and 140505 inbound messages in the year of 2007. That's...
Karu Tõde, mitte ainult ajakirjanike kohta
Ühtpidi oli see ajakirjaniku töökohus, täita väljamõõdetud pind kindlaks kellaajaks. Ja samas olla kohal, tajuda maailma ja ühiskonda ja astuda siis sammuke lugejast ettepoole ja öelda midagi, mille peale lugeja veel tulnud pole. -Jakob Karu, Areen, 8. veebruaril 2008 Kohtustuse-osa kõrvale jättes, võiks kehtida ka hea bloggeri kohta?...
How to Present Your Story (of Stuff)
(the video above is just a teaser - to see the story in full glory, see storyofstuff.com) The Story of Stuff must be the lowest-effort way to spend 20 minutes of your life getting an introductory glimpse into the impact of our consumerist lifestyle to Mother Earth. Simplistic - yes. Slightly propagandist - maybe. US-centric - a bit, but guess where most of negative environmental impact originates from? Definitely worth your time nevertheless. What I admire the most is...
More Channels, Fewer Better Messages
1997 it was postcards. 1999 e-mail. 2001 e-cards. 2003 sms. 2005 all of the above. 2007... I tried to roughly estimate the number of "Merry X-mas" and "Happy New Year" messages I received (or rather - was exposed to?) over this holiday season. Probably in the range of 200? Or 300? In addition to the channels listed above, also came through Skype chats, blogs, RSS feeds, Facebook, Orkut, Twitter, you name it. Weirdly enough the fact that no single...
PR 2.0 and Brandless Marketing
My academic (albeit brief) and professional encounters with public relations and communication theory in a broader sense occasionally have left an itching about the image of that field itself. Transparent, targeted communications and some really smart people who know how to make it happen are often overshadowed by the common associations to long-legged blondes from beauty pageants and talking black into white. I am very happy that Daniel has taken some holiday time to ponder about the topic: Once I...
