anz und lauer im gespräch über open access, heidelberger apell, google books/scholar etc. auf literaturkritik.de (april09), vgl. @aviess artikel dazu, der eh alles viel besser erklärt: http://www.relatif.rwth-aachen.de/daten/relatif_Ausgabe_07.pdf gut zb: Der Misserfolg der Medientheorie, die geglaubt hat, mit der Exegese von ein paar Aufsätzen Walter Benjamins und der Wiederholung einiger ungedeckter Thesen Michel Foucaults schon etwas Tragfähiges zu den gegenwärtigen medialen Transformationen zu sagen, hat etwa auf der Seite der Geisteswissenschaften dazu beigetragen, dass ihr zu ihren eigenen realen Arbeitsumwelten nicht viel einfällt.
schirri wie üblich --- Das Jahr 2010 könnte das Jahr sein, in dem der immer blasser gewordene Begriff „virtual reality“, der Übergangsbegriff des letzten Jahrzehnts, endgültig verlöschen wird. Die Brücke zwischen virtueller und wirklicher Wirklichkeit bricht gerade hinter uns zusammen, kaum dass wir den ersten Fußtritt ins neue Jahr gesetzt haben.
google stellt seine brandneue social bookmark-applikation "lists" vor; dem vernehmen nach noch etwas unausgereift; pro: schlägt zu den bookmarks ähnliche seite vor (untested)
sehr sehr wirrer text von bolz über google=böse, privat/öffentlich mit ein paar eh-klars und ein paar rosinen: "Und wenn der Suchraum groß genug ist, kann man Suchen nicht mehr von Kreativität unterscheiden."
blumenau mit leicht alberner these, dass im netz qua perso filter jede/r in eigener realtität lebt was furchtbar ist weil alle in ind. parallel/scheinwelten leben und dem kann abgeholfen werden wenn man sich wie mb für drei versch. sachen interessiert also fußball, popmusik und falter oder so
mspro will channels statt circles bei google+ (einerseits ja, andererseits immer noch zu kompliziert, konversationen werden schwierig weil unklar ist, wer was gelesen hat oder haben könnte, also worauf aufbaubar ist)

Last Friday afternoon (was it really only a week ago?) about 200 people made their way to the Googleplex in Mountain View for the fourth SciFoo. There are many people who got their blog posts out well before me so I will focus on the sessions which don’t seem to have been heavily discussed and try to draw a few themes out.
But in this case, MySpace isn’t that concerned with offline access (they haven’t turned the feature on yet). Instead, they are leveraging the framework to make their messaging service, which previously didn’t allow searching, sorting or any other basic organization techniques, into a much more useful feature.

Google Scholar (GS) was released as a beta product in November of 2004. Since then, GS has been scrutinized and questioned by many in academia and the library field. Our objectives in undertaking this study were to determine how scholarly GS is in comparison with traditional library resources and to determine if the scholarliness of materials found in GS varies across disciplines. We found that GS is, on average, 17.6% more scholarly than materials found only in library databases and that there is no statistically significant difference between the scholarliness of materials found in GS across disciplines.
