Same great Movable Type;now tih dash at Zemata

Corey showed me the list of the most popular Wikipedia articles.

It's insane. It makes no sense. It has rock stars, dead dictators and body parts on it.

Huh? If you look at the top music of December, 1971, they're all songs you probably like. Pop music appeals to the masses, and the bestseller list was a fairly accurate indicator of what we were humming. All of us.

The way to understand lists that aren't vintage pop music is this: it isn't one list. It's four or five, mushed together. You have the list of rock acts, overlaid with the list of comic book heroes, etc. There isn't one person (at least I hope not) who's interested in all of these articles.

Seen like that, you can underst

Sharp's PC-Z1 NetWalker takes the inevitable unboxing journey

Sharp's PC-Z1 NetWalker takes the inevitable unboxing journey: "Sharp's PC-Z1 NetWalker conjured up all sorts of love and hate-filled emotions when we toyed with it earlier this month, but for fans of unorthodox handhelds, minor details like a wonky optical pad and frail keys aren't apt to put a damper on the excitement found in this moment. The cool kids over at Pocketables were able to procure a unit over the weekend from Japan (right on cue, might we add), and predictably, they've broken out the camera in order to let you relive the unboxing experience and see it side-by-side with a UMID mbook M1. The read link folks, that's where it's at."

Web-Wide Data

Web-Wide Data: "When visiting and interacting with websites we share important data about ourselves: Netflix knows some movies I watch, Amazon knows some books I read, and Last.fm knows some music I listen to.

While this data enables these services to provide additional value - Amazon suggests books; Last.fm notifies me of concerts - there’s two major issues: (i) the data is not accessible by the user; (ii) the data is site-centric.

For example, despite Netflix knowing some movies I watch, they don’t know about my movie activity across other sites. And there’s no easy way for me to let them know.

Therein lies the problem to site-centric datasets that aren’t user controlled: each site represents a fraction of our total web activity within a given vertical. Increasingly our interactions within a vertical are web-wide. For movies, we read reviews on Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB, watch trailers on Apple, buy tickets on Fandango, rent from Netflix, and buy discs from Amazon."
