Nad did a brilliant guest lecture for our undergraduate HCI class at Lancaster on Monday. His slides and blog about the lecture are at Virtual Chaos. He touched on issues of democracy vs. authority of information, dynamic content vs. accessibility and of course increasing issues of privacy on social networking sites. He also had awesome slides to using loads of Flickr photos under creative commons … community content in action not just words! Of course also touched on Web3.0 and future convergence between emergent community phenomena and structured Semantic Web technologies.

spell with flickr
I just found a wonderful service spell with flickr that makes images like:
It is built from a pool of letters on flickr which have been collected independently (there are also pools for digits and punctuation), a lovely example of Web2.0 in action!
I’ve added it to Snip!t, so now if you snip a single word ‘spell with flickr’ gets suggested as an action.
photolurking in the news
My PhD student Haliyana’s work on photolurking was reported in an article Just can’t get e-nough in the Christmas issue of New Scientist. It has already been blogged by Guy Merchant (and lots of other interesting stuff on cyberculture at his my vedana blog).
