June’s most-popular links: Lines, local, killing, innovation, geo-tagging
These are the links from my reading list that got the most clicks in June (along with any notes I wrote on the link, or sometimes a quote from the linked article).
- The Elements of Interactivity: lines and relationships: “Nineteenth-century mathematicians discovered to their discomfort that as the conceptual machinery of mathematics became more precise, it became more difficult.”
- Doing Local Right : A Simon Willison article and presentation on local online information.
- Why not kill the editorial page?: “Perhaps the cuts are being made in the wrong place. Instead of cutting staff, I propose cutting the editorial page — the actual printed artifact, the thing that consumes trees, gasoline and oil, and clogs landfills.”
- Five Pertinent Questions for Scott Berkun About Innovation
- Placeblog Pioneer Sees Geo-Tagging as Key to Local Aggregation: “For the past few years, bloggers have been living in a keyword-based world. When they write a blog post, they can tag the post by putting it into relevant topical categories. A post about the U.S. attorney general firing scandal might be tagged: ‘U.S. politics,’ ‘Alberto Gonzales,’ ‘attorney general firings.’ But the missing element for bloggers has been a way to tag their posts according to geography — not only of the topic but of the place where the blogger is writing.”
