Viewzi - its all about the views
Viewzi is a whole new way to experience search. Instead of one big list, you get nice visual Views tailored for the content you are looking for:
With traditional text-based search engines, no matter what or how you search, your results are basically the same. Searching for Bono looks the same as searching for chicken recipes or sports cars:

A tablet to call your own
"Rob Tannen and his team at the Bressler Group, where he is Director of Research, have been working on the FieldCREW User Research Concept Platform, photo above. In Tannen's own words, 'It's a concept design for a data gathering system for user researchers who...spend so much time gathering information to design high-tech products, but have very limited tools themselves. It also brings together some interesting 'near-future' technologies, like subvocalization to silently take notes while conducting field observations.'"

What is social media?
An ebook about social media from iCrossing UK:
[Download PDF]
Social media is best understood as a group of new kinds of online
media, which share most or all of the following characteristics:
- Participation: social media encourages contributions and feedback from everyone who is interested. it blurs the line between media and audience.
- Openness: most social media services are open to feedback and participation. they encourage voting, comments and the sharing of information. there are rarely any barriers to accessing and making use of content – password-protected content is frowned on.
- Conversation: whereas traditional media is about “broadcast” (content transmitted or distributed to an audience) social media is better seen as a two-way conversation.
- Community: social media allows communities to form quickly and communicate effectively. Communities share common interests, such as a love of photography, a political issue or a favourite tv show.
- Connectedness: most kinds of social media thrive on their connectedness, making use of links to other sites, resources and people.

Cool Visualizations

2003 MSR Netscan Usenet Treemap by number of Posters auf Flickr - Fotosharing!
2003 MSR Netscan Usenet Treemap by number of Posters auf Flickr - Fotosharing!: "This is a treemap of the Usenet newsgroup discussion community space generated by the Netscan system at Microsoft Research. This map represents the number of unique authors in each Usenet newsgroup who appeared in the current year. Data on the number of 'posters' in each newsgroup was collected and calculated by the Netscan service. The area of each box is proportional to the number of authors that newsgroup attracted in the current year. Newsgroups with bigger poster populations create bigger boxes. Color maps to change from the prior year, green indicating growth and red for decline over the prior time period. The original sized image shows significant detail. The treemap tool is available for free download from the research.microsoft.com web site. It comes with an Excel plug-in that allows users to generate their own treemaps with any data they can get into a spreadsheet (that contains a properly formatted hierarchical data structure). Your mileage may vary. Netscan can be found at netscan.research.microsoft.com."
