Murmur Study | Christopher Baker
Murmur Study is a work-in-progress that examines the rise of micro-messaging technologies such as Twitter and Facebook Status Updates. One might describe these messages as a kind of digital small talk. But unlike water-cooler conversations, these fleeting thoughts are accumulated, archived and indexed digitally by corporations. While the future of these archives are still to be seen, the sheer volume of publicly accessible personal expression should give us pause.

Privacy Diffusion on the Web: A Longitudinal Perspective | Semantic Web Dog Food
or the last few years we have studied the diffusion of private information about users as they visit various Web sites triggering data gathering aggregation by third parties. This paper reports on our longitudinal study consisting of multiple snapshots of our examination of such diffusion over four years. We examine the various technical ways by which third-party aggregators acquire data and the depth of userrelated information acquired. We study techniques for protecting against this privacy diffusion as well as limitations of such techniques. We introduce the concept of secondary privacy damage. Our results show increasing aggregation of user-related data by a steadily decreasing number of entities. A handful of companies are able to track users' movement across almost all of the popular Web sites. Virtually all the protection techniques have significant limitations highlighting the seriousness of the problem and the need for alternate solutions.

the contemporary hybrid city through the lenses of my research work augmented by some offline observations. In this intervention entitled “People as sensors; people as actors” (slides with annotations), I look at the integration of ubiquitous technologies (and soft infrastructures) and how they afford us new flexibility in conducting our daily activities (people as actors) with simultaneously providing the means to study our activities in time and space (people as sensors).

Storefront for Art and Architecture |
Online many places get a new layer of reality. Fictional or not.Through plans, sections, diagrams, charts and scale drawings,
49 cities are observed statistically and presented in an unprecedented comparative study, the result of a research project conducted over
several years. Despite the fact that they never actually existed, this history of utopian urbanism provides a remarkable insight into our
understanding of the contemporary metropolis.

Chris Heathcote: anti-mega: flight strip to-dos
Social Life of Paper ( connects to papernet ). it reminds me also of the japanese paper strips attached to a ring that japanese students used to study vocabulary. little *physical* piece of information accessible in discrete manner. mmmm thinking out loud. sense of satisfaction when sorting a pile of clothes, washing a big pile of dishes, making books straight. visible physical workIn my mind, they’re the ultimate to-do (or to-worry) list. So – why not make a to-do list out of flight strips? My life is very often like Heathrow arrivals.
