Kind of Digital » How in-the-browser software should work

veröffentlicht vor Posted 9 hours ago

I wrote recently about my growing unease with the addiction we have with ever greater convenience with our computing over the necessity of control. A lot of this is driven by cloud, and software-as-a-service (SaaS). The convenience of SaaS is difficult to argue with. No installing software. No upgrades. Files accessible wherever you want them. The ability to share documents … [Link]

Loomio looks like a neat tool for groups to discuss a topic and to come to decisions. Often online discussions just go nowhere and don’t result in specific actions. Maybe this is a solution to that problem? Here’s a video. [Link]

Apparently, not everyone has a smartphone! News to me. Anyway, the Dumb Store is potentially very exciting, I think. Apps for ‘dumb’ phones – ie those that have limited ability to access the internet and the web. They can be interacted with by sending SMS messages or making voice calls. The SMS option is most interesting as it turns your … [Link]

Benchmarking e-government in web 2.0 » Lessons learnt from online engagement: don’t expect policy co-creation #policy20

veröffentlicht vor Posted 3 days ago

This is part of the open Q&A on online engagement that I launched to prepare for the Policy-Making 2.0 conference. Hope to see you there! When it comes to online engagement on public policy, one common mistake is to expect co-creation of policies from scratch. In reality, collaborative creation “wiki-style” is the hardest to achieve. The transaction costs are very … [Link]

Everything in life is becoming a balance of convenience versus control. Only, it’s not so much of a balance as a mass grab for convenience. Sometimes this doesn’t matter, sometimes it does.
