Yahoo has always been proud of the algorithms that drive its choice of personalized content, but it’s hard to grok exactly what they do behind the scenes to make the magic happen. Today the company released a visualization of its “C.O.R.E.” (Content Optimization and Relevance Engine) technology, and the result is pretty cool.

“Anyone who could turn a commercial that touts the strength and fortitude of our country into a political message that is deemed pro-Obama just because he is the Commander in Chief right now is part of the problem, not the solution.”

Hey girl. Censorship can ruin a magic moment. STOP SOPA.

Please, call and write your representative.

If this doesn’t stop SOPA, nothing will.

“The social isn’t about beauty contests and popularity contests. They’re a distortion, a caricature of the real thing. It’s about trust, connection, and community. That’s what there’s too little of in today’s mediascape, despite all the hoopla surrounding social tools. The promise of the Internet wasn’t merely to inflate relationships, without adding depth, resonance, and meaning. It was to fundamentally rewire people, communities, civil society, business, and the state — through thicker, stronger, more meaningful relationships. That’s where the future of media lies.”

Oh, wow, but I laughed.

Can’t. Stop. Laughing. I don’t know why I find this as funny as I do, but it’s tear-inducing, my-stomach-hurts funny.

I just had to go check on her in the living room to make sure she wasn’t dying.

Pre digital - Seth Godin

Pre digital - Seth Godin:

stoweboyd:

Seth Godin visits an emergency room and is staggered by how analog it is: people taking notes on paper, the lack of access to patient’s history, and six people acting as front men to the doctor: 90 minutes to see a doctor for 90 seconds.

But it’s the tip of the iceberg:

School is pre-digital. Elections. Most of what you do in your job. Even shopping. The vestiges of a reliance on geography, lack of information, poor interpersonal connections and group connection (all hallmarks of the pre-digital age) are everywhere.

Perhaps the most critical thing you can say of a typical institution: “That place is pre-digital.”

All a way of saying that this is just the beginning, the very beginning, of the transformation of our lives.

And, of course, it is not just our lives as consumers, students, and patients, but as community members, citizens, and residents of our cities. Everything is changing, and all at once.
