<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A few days ago I came across <a title="(Some rights reserved)" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyefood/2338190300/" target="_blank">this</a> photo on Flickr. Reading Kisa&#8217;s comments about having an actual &#8216;live&#8217; tagcloud inside of SL™ <em>(I hate those new Second Life<sup>®</sup> Brandcenter restrictions)</em> I commented on it and started thinking about the idea.</p>
<p>My first thought was along the lines of &#8221; Yeah right! &#8221; and after a few minutes it already shifted towards &#8221; Hmm&#8230; challenging &#8220;. I wrote down some rough outlines on how to tackle this and in the next week we&#8217;ll see wether my intuition was right or not.</p>
<p>The basic idea:</p>
<ul>
<li>We set up a &#8216;tagwall&#8217; object. This object polls on a regular interval a certain aspx or php page which will return the tags and their respective density.</li>
<li>The &#8216;tagwall&#8217; will then temp-rezz each word by means of sculpted alphabet prims and scale the letters according to tag density.</li>
<li>Final step will be for the &#8216;tagwall&#8217; to arrange all the temp rezzed words and fit it nicely on the wall.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>We&#8217;ll probably encounter some beartraps along the way but I think it&#8217;s a good and do-able approach. So, since I&#8217;m not that good a php/aspx programmer, hopefully someone will jump on the project and help me out there.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll start by faking the external input and skip to step 2, the actual rezzing of the tags from a notecard. First thing we&#8217;ll have to do is to check wether someone made a sculpted alphabet already before we are reinventing the wheel and then it&#8217;s off to some LSL coding.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mademoisellejeanne/1397070207/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1172/1397070207_bb90b75865_m.jpg" alt="" align="right" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Dans sa présentation &#8220;Do Real People Really Use Tag Clouds?&#8221;, Garrick Schmitt fournit des données statistiques sur l&#8217;utilisation réelle des nuages de tags par les internautes. Face aux acquis du Web 2.0 , la remise en question penche du côté de l&#8217;ergonomie. Résultats sont plutôt mitigés. </strong></em></p>
<h2><span style="color:#800000;">Tics en tags&#8230;<br />
</span></h2>
<p>L’<strong>architecture par mots-clés</strong> est un des grands acquis du Web 2.0. Selon les observateurs et les concepteurs, ce type de système a vu le jour pour répondre au besoin croissant des internautes d’effectuer des <strong>r</strong><strong>echerches rapides et ciblées</strong>. Si c’est ainsi que fonctionnent depuis toujours les moteurs de recherche, d&#8217;autres moyens sont apparus pour exploiter les formes de navigation à partir du contenu.</p>
<p>Un de ces moyens, que j&#8217;affectionnais pas mal, est le <strong>nuage de mots-clés</strong>. Dit <em>tagcloud</em> en anglais, le nuage de mots-clés est une représentation visuelle des mots-clés (<em>tags</em>) les plus utilisés sur un site web. Il suffit de cliquer sur un mot du nuage pour accéder aux pages associées à ce mot. Le nuage attribue aux mots les plus cliqués une taille (et une couleur) de police plus grande. Soit dit en passant, ces mots-clés sont classés par ordre alphabétique pour plus de facilité de balayage.</p>
<p>Le principal atout de ce système par rapport à des outils de recherche internes traditionnels est qu’il <strong>suggère les termes </strong>de recherche aux visiteurs. C’est une façon pour lui de voir en un seul coup d’œil les grands<strong> concepts accessibles</strong>, et de ne pas passer à côté de ceux-ci à cause d’une formulation différente, et/ou d’un critère trop restrictif.</p>
<p>C&#8217;est du moins ce qu&#8217;on pensait jusqu&#8217;ici&#8230; Voyons plutôt les conclusions de l&#8217;enquête de Garrick Schmitt.</p>
<h2><span style="color:#800000;">&#8230; du toc !<br />
</span></h2>
<p>À première vue, les <strong>résultats sont accablants</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>88% des internautes n&#8217;utiliseraient jamais ou rarement les nuages de tags</li>
<li>65% ne les utiliseraient jamais</li>
<li>68% les trouveraient inutiles</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>Ces chiffres sont tirés de l&#8217;étude &#8220;Digital Consumer Behavior Study&#8221; menée par Avenue A &#124; Razorfish en juillet 2007 auprès de 475 internautes américains.</p>
<p>Il y a donc un <strong>décallage entre l&#8217;engouement des concepteurs et l&#8217;usage qu&#8217;en fait le surfeur moyen.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://ecrirepourleweb.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/mots-cles.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-531" src="http://ecrirepourleweb.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/mots-cles.png?w=300" alt="" width="477" height="206" /></a></p>
<p>Certains observateurs avaient déjà tempéré <strong>l&#8217;accessibilité de ces tags</strong> en remettant en cause leur principe théorique : à savoir le principe de la <strong>folksonomie.</strong> Ce néologisme, constitué à partir des mots « folks » (« gens » en anglais) et  « taxonomie » ou « taxinomie », renvoie à la manière dont l’information est organisée au sein d’une communauté on line.</p>
<p>Adulée en ses débuts, comme de nombreuses tendances du Web, la folksonomie a bien dû se confronter aux réalités de son utilisation. Le fait qu&#8217;il s&#8217;agisse d&#8217;un système de classification collaborative et spontanée sous-entendait déjà ceci à l&#8217;origine : <strong>tout le monde n&#8217;emploie pas les mêmes descripteurs</strong>.</p>
<p>J&#8217;avais apprécié, en son temps, le concept utilisé par Gerry McGovern en lieu et place des mots-clés. Pas de &#8220;keywords&#8221; dans son discours, mais bien des &#8220;careword&#8221;. Souvenons-nous:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Your customers have a small set of words that summarize what they care about. Find those words, and you’re half way to success… When people go to a search engine, are they more likely to type “low fares” or “cheap flights?”</p></blockquote>
<p>En d&#8217;autres mots, McGovern part du principe que les descripteurs utilisés par les internautes ne sont pas ceux que leur attribuent les concepteurs des sites. Mais que pense-t-il des folksonomies ? Croit-il également qu&#8217;un utilisateur &#8220;a&#8221; ne partage pas ses &#8220;carewords&#8221; avec un utilisateur &#8220;b&#8221; ou &#8220;c&#8221;.</p>
<p>Car, apparemment, le discrédit qui pèse sur ce mode de recherche semble lourd. Non seulement ces systèmes seraient aléatoires, mais en plus ils n&#8217;auraient pas d&#8217;utilité et ne seraient là <strong>que pour la décoration</strong>. D&#8217;aucuns diront : c&#8217;est déjà ça!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Una imatge val més que mil paraules; diu la dita popular, però en un entorn interactiu les paraules ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Una imatge val més que mil paraules; diu la dita popular, però en un entorn interactiu les paraules també valen, sobretot si ets tu mateix que les ha posat (etiquetes o tags) l’autora del video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=540o-QPLCGM&#38;hl=en">Mari Carmen Marcos</a>, proposa en la seva xerrada que és millor la convinació de text i imatge.</p>
<p>Com ens diu en la seva intervenció la informació s’ha presentat de diferent formes al llarg de la història de la humanitat. La idea de comunicació entre els éssers humans és ancestral. Actualment, com a exemple, fa esment dels mapes meteorològics; arreu del món se’n fan. Si en veus un que sigui d’una cultura diferent a la teva i que no entenguis la seva llengua no hi tens cap problema per interpretar-lo, amb els símbols que utilitzen, fàcilment pots saber si l’endemà farà sol o plourà.</p>
<p>També ens mostra una tendència que hi ha actualment a internet i que consisteix en<span>  </span>integrar diferents recursos alhora en un. En anglès aquests es diuen <b>mushup.</b> El resultat és una forma diferent de mostrar la informació a l’usuari. El que també es busca és una forma més fàcil i simple de recuperar la informació.<br />
Alguns d’aquests recursos són els mapes que inclouen fotografies o textos com a <a href="http://chicagocrime.com">Chicago crime </a>o bé a <a href="http://www.panoramio.com">panoramio</a></p>
<p>Uns altres són els que fan cerques relacionades<span>  </span>(llibres, música o pel·lícules) en diferents recursos com el <a href="http://thouchgrap.com">thouchgrap</a> (cerca informació a wikipèdia o yahoo) o el <a href="http://grokker.com">grokker</a> (cerca a amazon).<br />
Uns altres, també, fan cerques fascetades; donen informació d’altres punts d’accés relacionats amb el terme proposat, sinònims inclosos. Aquests recursos són: <a href="http://vivisimo.com">vivísimo</a> i <a href="http://kartoo.com">kartoo.</a><br />
Hi ha els que utilitzen llenguatges controlats; perquè el resultat sigui el més òptim possible, sens dubte és dona en el sector més comercial de la xarxa.<span>  </span>Uns dels que ens proposa l’autora és <a href="http://gettyimages.com">gettyimages</a> o bé <a href="http://thefind.com">thefind.</a></p>
<p>Ens deixa en un punt i a part les noves propostes innovadores de la web 2.0 que permet a l’usuari posar ell mateix les etiquetes per tal de reconèixer o relacionar més fàcilment la informació. Uns d’aquests recursos són<a href="http://www.flickr.com"> flickr </a>(bloc fotogràfic) o bé de <a href="http://del.icio.us.com">del.icio.us</a>. (permet guardar les adreces web o bloc en un servidor). És una forma d’associar paraules a imatges o a enllaços a gust de l’usuari. Aquest utilitza un llenguatge natural, cadascú ho fa amb la llengua que vol, és indiferent posar-ho en singular com en plural. El resultat és un gran núvol de tags que a primer cop de vista resulta caòtic.</p>
<p>És a partir d’aquí que proposa fer un experiment als estudiants. Ella proposa10 imatges i<span>  </span><span> </span>vol és que assignin de 4 a 10 etiquetes per cada imatge segons les emocions o sensacions que els produeixin. A partir d’aquí fa un estudi estadístic tant per nacionalitats, com per llengües, nivell cultural, nivell socioeconòmic. D’aquesta forma espera poder establir relacions entre les diferents etiquetes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Voor de opdracht van vorige week, rondsnuffelen in Librarything, heb ik een account aangemaakt wat boeken toegevoegd, een link op mijn blog gezet en gekeken wat je er mee zou kunnen doen. Ik heb wat boeken uit mijn boekenkast gezocht om erop (of erin?) te<a href="http://lynndelisa.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/geert-mak.jpg" title="geert-mak.jpg"><img src="http://lynndelisa.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/geert-mak.thumbnail.jpg" alt="geert-mak.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>zetten, maar raakte wat geïrriteerd omdat ik nadat ik een titel had gevonden, niet eerst kon kijken of het wel was wat ik wilde. Keuze is klikken, zoals WoutV in zijn blog al opmerkte. Maar ik wil veel meer zien dan alleen De buitenvrouw / Joost Zwagerman, 1999.&#8221; En dat kan niet. Maar misschien kijk ik er nog te veel naar als catalogiseerster.</p>
<p>Verder heb ik nog naar de groepen gekeken, de tabs tijdsbeeld en discussie. Ik ben niet niet zo&#8217;n discussieerder en al helemaal niet in groepen op het internet, dus dat is aan mij neit zo besteed. Ik vind het leuk om kennis mee te maken en een beetje te snuffelen, maar ik geloof dat librarything niet helemaal mijn ding is. Misschien moet ik wat langer snuffelen. Ik ga er zeker nog wat rondstruinen, wellicht herzie ik mijn mening.</p>

Tolle Sache das. <a href="http://www.andreas-kalt.de/blog/tags-tags-tags" title="Tags, tags, tags (Blog) &#124; andreas-kalt.de">Tags</a><img src="http://einheitzbrei.wordpress.com/files/2007/09/cc3.png" alt="Tag ‘cc’: 3 Treffer" align="right" vspace="10" /> bzw. in diesem Fall Tagcloud oder Tagwolke genannt. Noch toller wäre es allerdings, wenn es richtig funktionieren würde.<br />
Nicht nur, dass derzeit regelmässig falsche Trefferanzahlen angezeigt werden – die Tags &#8216;cc&#8217; und creative commons&#8217; sollten eigentlich gleichhäufig auftauchen – nein, auch irgendwie scheinen die Verlinkungen nicht hinzuhauen.<br />
Die Verlinkung zeigt auf <em>http://einheitzbrei.wordpress.com/tag/cc/</em>, was unverständlicherweise  auf <em>http://einheitzbrei.wordpress.com/category/cc/</em> umgeleitet wird und logischerweise in einem 404 endet, da es keine Kategorie des Namens cc gibt.<br />
Richtig wäre eine Verlinkung auf <a href="http://einheitzbrei.wordpress.com/tags/cc/" title="cc « einheiTZbrei">http://einheitzbrei.wordpress.com/<strong>tags</strong>/cc/</a>. Damit landet man auf der Auflistung der Beiträge, die diesem Tag zugeordnet wurden. Allerdings ist der Plural unlogisch, denn es soll ja nur der Singular, also alle Links zu <strong>einem</strong> Tag angezeigt werden.</p>
<p><img src="http://einheitzbrei.wordpress.com/files/2007/09/creativecommons4.png" alt="Tag ‘creative commons’: 4 Treffer" align="left" vspace="10" /></p>
<p align="justify">Wer sich nun fragt, warum der Kerl hier jammert und es nicht einfach ändert, wenn er das Problem doch erkannt hat, dem sei gesagt, dass dieser Fehler hier leider in der von <a href="http://wordpress.com/" title="WordPress.com » Get a Free Blog Here">wordpress.com</a> gehosteten Blogsoftware so drin ist und ich keinerlei Einfluss darauf habe.</p>
<p align="justify">Dies wurmt mich um so mehr und zeigt meines Erachtens vor allem die Komplexität, die das gewachsene Projekt WordPress mittlerweile angenommen hat.</p>
<p align="justify">Wenn WordPress.com selbst nicht mehr mit WordPress klar kommt, wer dann?!</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Edit:</strong> Und kann mir mal bitte einer erklären, warum das Tag &#8220;<a href="http://einheitzbrei.wordpress.com/tags/musik/" title="Musik « einheiTZbrei">Musik</a>&#8221; in der Wolke groß geschrieben ist?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I had a good chat with <a href="http://theobvious.typepad.com/blog/" title="Euan Semple" target="_blank">Euan Semple</a> yesterday about, amongst other things, how to design social web tools for visually-orientated people. Euan&#8217;s been helping me figure out how to use blogs, wikis, forums and tagging to engage people in film and TV industries, and it really struck me how text-based most social web tools are.</p>
<p>In many ways, <strong>web 2.0 is simply the web taken back to basics</strong>.  At last we&#8217;ve stopped building websites using the rules of print and publishing, and we&#8217;re extracting more value from simple <a href="http://http://www.euansemple.com/" title="hyperlinks" target="_blank">hyperlinks</a> again. But because of that, the semantic web requires us to be very textual in our thought patterns. There are some things that (visual impairments aside) can be communicated much more elegantly in colours, diagrams, sequences, videos or animations. And besides, doesn&#8217;t it all that text just look at bit, um, boring?</p>
<p>At Skillset we created <a href="http://www.skillset.org/storyboards" title="storyboard guides to the media industries" target="_blank">storyboard guides to the media industries</a> that worked pretty well as a visual portal into the deeper site content.  But they&#8217;re still embedded as Flash pop-ups in text-based pages, and extracting content relationships from Flash movies is a bit like putting a comic through text-recognition software. Hyperlinked text and tag clouds are easily mapped, and navigation systems can use those relationships easily enough. But what about physical proximity on the screen?  Or relative position in a narrative sequence? Or just things that look similar?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEcHcRqxmj4" title="Microsoft's Photosynth" target="_blank">Microsoft&#8217;s Photosynth</a> and other similar projects (and possibly the OU&#8217;s <a href="http://compendium.open.ac.uk/" title="Compendium" target="_blank">Compendium</a>) are beginning to offer some answers, but it&#8217;s still early days. So, how long before we can create navigation systems that are as flexible and granular as hypertext, but as <strong>visually appealing as a style magazine</strong>? How long before visual storytelling takes its place alongside text linking in the paradigm of the social web?</p>
