[7:51pm] waynesville: this is pretty cool we can talk without interupting scott

[7:52pm] johnca: yeah, but everyone in the room can follow the conversation (it’s on screens here)

[7:52pm] miker: we’ll have to setup a hecklebot for next time

[7:53pm] waynesville: yeah but they’re not looking at the screen. They’re looking at Scott

[7:56pm] waynesville: now we just need a firefox extension for automatic tagging while u browse

[7:56pm] miker: I’m thinking greasemonkey to add the form to anything would be a good idea

[7:56pm] NiallKennedy: already exists

[7:56pm] NiallKennedy: Yahoo! has it

[7:57pm] miker: but I just saw this for the first time today, so I haven’t tried it out at all

[8:04pm] waynesville: whoops he just un-stealthed them

[8:05pm] NiallKennedy: http://www.loomia.com/

[8:06pm] waynesville: It looks like the website is just some copy

[8:07pm] waynesville: i meant text.

[8:07pm] waynesville: e.g. salescopy

[8:07pm] waynesville: sorry overloaded word definition

[8:08pm] JeffClavier: I never lie, I only exagerate :-P exagerate :-P

[8:10pm] waynesville: Quote of the day. “It’s information inefficiency that turns out to drive things” – Scott Rafer

[8:11pm] waynesville: oh god daya talks about myspace every day…

[8:12pm] waynesville: serendipity

[8:12pm] waynesville: there’s a firefox extension called serendipity

[8:13pm] waynesville: i wonder what it’ll give me if i go to feedster

[8:13pm] johnca: ObLanka: “serendipity” comes from Serendib, an old Arab name for Sri Lanka

[8:13pm] waynesville: oh, sorry, it’s called StumbleUpon, not serendipity.

[8:13pm] waynesville: realy? i did not know that

[8:13pm] NiallKennedy: Pinpoint

[8:13pm] johnca: I haven’t been on this chat from the beginning, and someone asked that this chat get captured and posted to the mailing list. Will someone do that?

[8:14pm] miker: I’ve been on since the start, I’ll grab it and post

[8:14pm] waynesville: I wasn’t here from the beginning either

[8:14pm] waynesville: cool thanks miker

[8:21pm] johnca: http://peerflix.net/

[8:21pm] markfinnern: http://www.peerflix.com/

[8:22pm] waynesville: peerflix looks like mediachest

[8:23pm] waynesville: hmm no peerflix is different

[8:23pm] johnca: howso?

[8:23pm] waynesville: with mediachest you have to return DVDs. It’s like checking DVDs out of a library.

[8:24pm] waynesville: Only the “library” is someone else on the internet

[8:24pm] waynesville: whereas peerflix just moves a pool of DVDs around to whoever wants them

[8:25pm] waynesville: he’s talking about intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation

[8:26pm] waynesville: e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_motivation

[8:26pm] waynesville: people who can make money from a personal passion are very lucky

[8:27pm] johnca: Punished By Rewards, Alfie Kohn (excellent book re intrinsic motivation)

[8:27pm] NiallKennedy: when is the talk going to come back to smart agents?

[8:28pm] waynesville: The Chinese WILL figure out a way to control information flow.

[8:28pm] waynesville: Just watch.

[8:29pm] johnca: And then the Chinese will figure out how to circumvent that control. Neh?

[8:29pm] johnca: (and then control will be exerted again, etc.)

[8:30pm] johnca: or more seriously, what makes you think that battle will be “won” by those who wish to control?

[8:31pm] johnca: http://sciencecommons.org/

[8:31pm] JeffClavier_ joined the chat room.

[8:31pm] markfinnern: Science Commons: http://science.creativecommons.org/

[8:32pm] waynesville: I thought the Chinese would not be able to control information flow on the internet, but they’ve proven me wrong (so far).

[8:32pm] bobcat62 joined the chat room.

[8:32pm] waynesville: So now my expectation is they will continue to prove me wrong

[8:39pm] johnca left the chat room.

[8:40pm] johnca joined the chat room.

[8:58pm] waynesville: I never thought I’d hear Mike Korns say “currency is not useful”

[8:58pm] waynesville: Ahhh – “IF information can provide food and shelter”. That will never happen.

[9:00pm] johnca: people lived that way for millions of years, why not?

[9:00pm] waynesville: Because information != energy. Food is energy.
