MacMegasite » How to Plan Projects Effectively using Mind Mapping
Article that emphasizes using mind maps in the initial phases of a project for better planning.
From the site: "“What’s wrong with the age-old standard project management packages like MS Project and Merlin (http://www.novamind.com/merlin)?
Well, they certainly do give you good tools to manage your projects, but they really have a strong tendency to get people focusing on the minute task levels of projects far too early in the inception phases of a project.
This means that you can easily lose sight of the main objectives of the project, or get so stuck in the details that you forget some important tasks or objectives."

Our unconscious brain makes the best decisions possible
Socialstream - a Google-sponsored project to "rethink and reinvent online social networking"
I hope SocialStream comes to fruition one day. This site from CMU looks like quite an interesting proposal. -- Rick Cogley
From the site: "Directed to help improve the online community orkut, the project's scope was not to simply redesign the interface. Our team considered how online social networking could bring greater value to users, especially for ages above twenty. After initial brainstorming and research, we chose to focus on the effects of a new model for online social networking: a unified social network that, as a service, provides social data to many other applications. Our user research examined needs related to online as well as offline social networking and considered how they related to a unified social network service model. Through this user research we identified a set of archetypes that represent common behavior patterns that existed across multiple study participants and also formulated a summarized list of their high level needs. "
An interesting web-based PM tool. I like the fact that they are flexible about file-storage size and are willing to create a plan that fits the user's needs. --Rick Cogley

InfoQ: OpenSocial案例专访：TheBroth.com和KlickNation.com
InfoQ：开发一个OpenSocial应用一般耗时多长时间，需要多少开发者投入，这些开发者的背景如何？
Markus：我们有4个开发人员，2个美工，一般3到4周发布一个新的应用。
Mark：人员方面我们也是4个开发人员，其中有一个从前做游戏的有7年开发经验，1个对OpenSocial比较了解的专家有不到3年的经验，另外一个也是3年左右的开发经验，然后就是我。从前我们4天就可以实现一个OpenSocial预览版的应用，6到7周发布可用版本。
InfoQ：针对基于OpenSocial这样的应用，你们有没有成熟的商业模式？
Markus：基本没有。我们只是根据OpenSocial提供的标准开发一些好玩的应用，比如踢屁股游戏（Kick Ass Game），在这个虚拟游戏里如果你要踢别人一脚，你就要先支付一定的费用，费用越高，可能就能将别人踢得越远或者踢得时间更长。游戏推出后，我们发现有很多人注册，并真的付钱去踢别人，这是我们所没有预料到的。在每一个应用正式推出前，我们都要不停地尝试，有时稍微改一下游戏的图案或者文字，用户的反馈都会有很大的不同。
Mark：根据我的经验，本地化很重要。比如我们有个接吻游戏，即在网络上你可以随便亲吻一个人。这个游戏在南美洲很受欢迎，要比泰国的用户高5倍。后来我们调查发现，在泰国，你是不可以随便亲吻陌生人的。所以说，我们也没有固定的商业模式，这很难设计，也是通过不断地做AB测试来探索。目前我们的主要收入来源有4个：用户订阅、手机设备、信用卡直接支付和Adsense广告等，不过广告是最小的一块。
The Seed State of Science 2008 | Craig Venter on What's Holding Science Back
[we used]...a new method we named whole-genome shotgun sequencing, which worked by randomly selecting and sequencing DNA fragments from the organism's genome, then computationally reassembling it
independence has continued to be an essential aspect of my science's progress
It is not hard to understand why investigators, particularly young scientists, are satisfied being data generators, as government agencies and some foundations continue to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars for just DNA sequencing or, even worse, microarrays, creating huge datasets but seldom any real scientific insight
I was certain, after all of our success with our new whole-genome shotgun sequencing method, that the Human Genome Project would adopt our methods, but the federal human genome project was bureaucratically moribund and unable to change. In truth there was no incentive to change. The scientists in the various genome centers benefited hugely- some on the order of $100 million per year or more- from a process that was essentially a decentralized, widely distributed public-works project
data generation without big questions and computational approaches capable of answering them is only of trivial value. My team now has continued to apply the random selection and shotgun sequencing methods as a major discovery engine, exploring environmental research through "metagenomic studies," investigating life in the Sargasso Sea and also in the human gut
It has recently been argued that the generation of large data sets is the new science. I agree only insofar as the data sets are used to ask and answer unique questions about life. It is clear to me, for example, that the only hope we have for understanding our own biology is to generate thousands of complete human genomes together with well-defined phenotypic data from the same individuals. Such data will reveal much about what is nature and what is nurture in our species. Likewise, extensive metagenomic analysis of the microorganisms associated with each of those individuals.

TweetDeck Twitter Client built on Adobe AIR
This is a Twitter app built in Adobe AIR, and is very good. Can't search in Japanese (or I bet other multi-byte languages), can't block users. I think Twhirl beats this in several respects.
From the site - "TweetDeck enables users to split their main feed (All Tweets) into topic or group specific columns allowing a broader overview of tweets. The default columns can contain All Tweets from your timeline, @replies directed to you and direct messages. The GROUP, SEARCH and REPLIES buttons then allow the user to make up additional columns populated from the live tweet information. Once created these additional columns will automatically update allowing the user to keep track of a twitter threads far easier."
Telestream ScreenFlow - Overview
Screenflow looks interesting, and must compete with SnapzPro X and iShowU in the screencasting space on Mac. I think I will try it.
From the site: "ScreenFlow is an application for creating amazing screen recordings on your Mac. Using a unique new screen capture system, powerful enough to capture the contents of your entire desktop at the same time as your video camera, microphone and computer's audio, you'll be creating incredible screencasts in no time."

Ping.fm / Update all of your social networks at once!
Interesting social network status updater service. Gotta be careful not to inundate people with your statuses (statii?). I am using it to update Linked.in and Plaxo statuses, and send work-related updates to my ping.fm special posting email address. -- Rick Cogley

Matt Legend Gemmell – What have you tried?
An excellent post by Matt Gemmell on the tendency of people to want solutions regurgitated to them, and what to do about it.
达赖在欧洲做的宣传工作，非常有成效。我曾和意大利、法国、比利时、英国等欧洲国家的使领馆工作人员，以及当时的华人华侨领袖们交流过，他们一致认为，达赖做得非常成功的，就是迎合欧洲人的文化、宗教和思想特性，进行了有针对性的包装。比如，达赖在法国曾出版过一本非常畅销的读物，不是宣传他拉西藏独立主张，而是从人的生活与修养的角度，讲如何获得人与人之间的真善美，如何让心灵和思想达到平和。这本读物在十年前，就是欧洲的畅销书，读者从政经要人到家庭主妇都有。
我曾看过这本书的英文版，虽然我也不喜欢达赖，也讨厌他的西藏独立主张。但是我不得不承认，那是一本语言优美，有一定思想见地的好书，如果不了解中国的历史，不了解达赖在西藏问题上的所做所为，只是从这本书看达赖，我也会认为达赖可能真是就是一位来自神秘而遥远的东方的一位流亡宗教领袖
