news - data, information or vector?

s - 28.6.07 - far, near |

is about a, at a time b, at location c, comes from source d, relates to other information e1, is read by f. a+(b+)>d/e->f.
And what about information? An amount of bits according to Claude Shannon. A difference that makes a difference, says Gregory Bateson.

In short: how would we want our favourite news site to look like? (not like a newspaper put on screen, for sure)

status: ongoing research

3 ideas to “news - data, information or vector?”

  1. p, 28.6.07

    as tech blog techmeme.com and rivva.de in germany build on top of the high interlinkage between blogs and the network centrality (authority) of the most prominent of them. it seems that new mp3 blog entries in hypemachine are not that much interlinked. i wonder how a techmeme for music would look like, since i am bored with the portalesque baroque of last.fm which does not provide me with the editorial weight of let´s say: pitchfork media

    ingredients:
    a) no comments, but a strong click evaluation (no looking for judgement, just for attention)
    b) low personalisation (because I want to read what others read)
    a) a low involvement semantic framework, manually adjusted
    d) intelligent feed grabbing
    e) vertical integration: background
    f) click-based collaborative filtering

  3. red, 6.7.07

    news communities. Take the single information as a “living” object, looking for friends and relatives. feed the news into the framwork of social web, with foaf-relations. extend these relations in the domain of time.
