Some times ago i have posted something about microcontent and wikis

Now there are two innovations: a sort of blog wiki
and an intellligent use of wiki + Tiddlywiki as a comfortable way of publishing content as an aggregation of microcontent
From MicroWiki:

The MicroWiki is meant as a collaborative project. If you want do contribute or discuss the wiki’s content, please leave a comment on the MicroBlog or mail to conferenceATmicrolearning.org. Contributions will be included in the next updated version of the MicroWiki (at least every two weeks).

A Wiki is a special piece of software that makes creating and updating hypertext extremely easy and intuitive. If you have visited Wikipedia, as you should, you know that ‘classical’ wikis can be updated online on-the-fly, in principle by anyone.

The TiddlyWiki-technology this MicroWiki is using is different, because it is not a server-side wiki.
There is no database behind it: just Javascript and CSS packed into oine single HTML file
. You can change and expand your own MicroWiki (or begin a TiddlyWiki of your own on any subject), but to do this you have to download the file to your computer first (see SaveChanges).

Thanks to an extraordinary Danny Ayers bookmark, i’ve found two important things:

  • an important example of bringing up Semantic technologies and Social software to make an interesting piece of innovation in usability from the end user point of view, and not only: System one activities…

    For a start there’s seamless integration of enterprise info and authoring with real-time analysis of what you write. Although there are some familiar technologies involved as well (Wiki/blogging, syndication etc), the tech is presented in a way that from a user’s point of view, it gets out of the way and just works.
    There are capabilities like custom (semantic) form building available, but even those look designed to be maximally user-friendly.
    Probably the most notable thing about the system is that though there broad facets (context) and views (perspectives), most of the navigation is mostly relevance-based and changes in real time as you interact. Compared to some of the other knowledge management tools out there, I reckon this does deserve the epithet “groundbreaking”.

E’ un passo importante per il futuro della Rete italiana, sicuramente merita un approfondimento…
Intanto il caro Beppe Caravita ha fatto un sunto della situazione; mi fa veramente paura…
-> Il cattivo karma di Telecom Italia

Anche Alessandro Longo ne parla nel suo blog, e anche da parte sua c’e’ una certo allarmismo…

Ci vogliono trasformare internet in una grande rete push di contenuti tv. Agendo sulla rete di nuova generazione.

Quanto mai giustificato, dico io…

Tempo fa avevo letto l’interevento di Tim Berners Lee sull’importanza della neutralita’ della Rete, un aspetto quanto mai messo in discussione a livello mondiale… [ vedi il sito savetheinternet.com ]
La pressione delle Telco non e’ mai stato cosi’ forte…

In Italia credo ci sia un grosso problema culturale: non si conosce abbastanza Internet e il Web e le dinamiche a guadagno condiviso che li regola, da sempre…

Ho paura per quello che puo’ fare una compagnia come Telecom in un Paese cosi’ malandato come il nostro, occorre pensare qualcosa…

E il primo passo e’ sapere verso dove ci stiamo muovendo…

Chiudo con qualche passo tratto dal post di Tim:

Twenty-seven years ago, the inventors of the Internet[1] designed an architecture[2] which was simple and general. Any computer could send a packet to any other computer. The network did not look inside packets. It is the cleanness of that design, and the strict independence of the layers, which allowed the Internet to grow and be useful. It allowed the hardware and transmission technology supporting the Internet to evolve through a thousandfold increase in speed, yet still run the same applications. It allowed new Internet applications to be introduced and to evolve independently.

When, seventeen years ago, I designed the Web, I did not have to ask anyone’s permission. [3]. The new application rolled out over the existing Internet without modifying it. I tried then, and many people still work very hard still, to make the Web technology, in turn, a universal, neutral, platform. It must not discriminate against particular hardware, software, underlying network, language, culture, disability, or against particular types of data.

[ … ]

The Internet is increasingly becoming the dominant medium binding us.
The neutral communications medium is essential to our society. It is the basis of a fair competitive market economy. It is the basis of democracy, by which a community should decide what to do.
It is the basis of science, by which humankind should decide what is true.

Let us protect the neutrality of the net.

Sembra che Dell abbia deciso una politica sempre piu’ Google dipendente, abbandonando la sua storica esclusiva con Microsoft…

La società, che finora ha sempre mantenuto una sorta di escusiva-Microsoft sulle proprie macchine, ha deciso di integrare non solo l’indirizzamento di deafult a Google Search, invece che a Msn Search, ma anche una serie di strumenti che includono l’instant messaging di Google, Google Earth, il browser Firefox, con la prospettiva di integrare nuovi prodotti e servizi mano a mano che Google li renderà disponibili.

Considerando il fatto che Dell e’ il maggiore distributore di PCs del mondo, e che di solito l’utente usa quello che trova pre-installato…
Microsoft dovrebbe sentire questo cambio di rotta…

Per non parlare dell’inclusione di Firefox come browser di default, a quanto pare…
Un bene per far vincere gli standard, almeno… :)
E uno sprone per IE7…

Attivista Open Data prima, studioso di Civic Hacking e dell’importanza del ruolo delle comunità in seguito, vengo dalle scienze dell’informazione, dove ho scoperto il Software libero e l’Open Source, il Semantic Web e la filosofia che guida lo sviluppo degli standard del World Wide Web e ne sono rimasto affascinato.
Il lavoro (dal 2018 in poi) mi ha portato ad occuparmi di Legal Tech, di Cyber Security e di Compliance, ambiti fortemente connessi l’uno all’altro e decisamente sfidanti.
