ReBLOG from O'Reilly Radar by Tim O'Reilly, July 7, 2008 "What good is collective intelligence if it doesn't make us smarter?" Can we use Web 2.0 collective intelligence to save our planet? This is important. Don't miss it!

SCIENCE 2.0 -- IS OPEN ACCESS SCIENCE THE FUTURE?

From Saturday March 29 to Friday April 4, Classroom 2.0 is hosting a series of "live" web conversations, including on teaching content with current events, Web 2.0 for Beginners, how to set up your own Ning network, and open source. You're invited!

"Let's share links to our blogs!" was the title of a new thread that I started in Classroom 2.0. I started the thread after I came across a fantastic blog that had been around for a few years. The blog had never come up in any of my previous searches. I figured that a few members of Classroom 2.0 blogged, and I thought it would be interesting to see what their blogs were about.

I asked if people could post a link to their blog, with a blurb about the focus of the blog, and also post a link to blogs that they'd recommend to others.

WOW!

Developing a social networking site is not the same as conventional software development!

Sara Wood, VP of Swivel, visited the ISIS Tech and New Media Tuesdays series yesterday. Swivel's data mashup and visualization tools are so numerous you'll run out of fruity martini possibilities before you run out of graphs and geo-maps to analyze.

Wisdom of crowds. Smart mobs. What if the smarter, wiser digital crowds are also evil?

Thanks to Pam Spaulding, goddess of Pam's House Blend, and participation by many other local notables, our Web 2.0 workshop provided helpful hints on how to capture the attention of the blogosphere (the portion you want. at least), podcasting, streaming video live into Second Life, and very cool book tools like Library Thing.

Learning how to sweep away the cobwebs of Web 2.0: that's the agenda for this afternoon.
