Lawyer X and thinking in search

Posted by Hylton Jolliffe

Dennis Kennedy explains the appearance of the mysterious "Lawyer X". Also worth noting: a quick thought from Denise Howell: "I expect people do this a lot, I just noticed it this morning and realized I do it all the time: thinking in search. What it is: absently stringing together queries in your head that you need to plug in the next time you're in front of a search engine, in order to get things done in work and life."

Program for the upcoming Symposium published

Posted by Francois Gossieaux

I know that many of you have been waiting for the final program for the Symposium on Social Architecture, which we are producing in partnership with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at the Harvard Law School this November 14th and 15th.

The program is out and published and as they say when you waited long for something that comes out real good - it was worth the wait!

The Symposium will investigate the emerging social architecture—the convergence of social software, social media and social computing—that is a critical element of the next generation Web. We will explore the implications for business and beyond of these technologies and their application. And we will conclude the program with a fascinating case study In Web-based civics: Katrina and Recovery 2.0 - looking at how the social Web can support better planning and response to disasters: hurricanes, tsunamis, or terrorism.

Carl Zimmer speaking at Yale

Posted by Hylton Jolliffe

If you're in the New Haven area consider dropping by Yale Medical School tomorrow (Thursday, October 5) at 5 p.m. for a talk by Carl Zimmer in which he'll be discussing his book "Soul Made Flesh". Says Carl: "I can promise lots of cool images to accompany my talk, of stuff like excorcisms, miraculous resurrections of murderers, and alchemy. All the normal things you'd expect from a seventeenth-century powerpoint."

Details here.
