But offering linkbat was never, in my mind, the function of blogs.
Most links will have come through Twitter and Facebook." Well, maybe. "Almost none of you will have found this link through a feed reader (although my stats show that some of you are using Feedly, Digg Reader, and even Livejournal's RSS feature). Still, as Jason Kottke writes, "the function of the blog, the nebulous informational task we all agreed the blog was fulfilling for the past decade, is increasingly being handled by a growing number of disparate media forms that are blog-like but also decidedly not blogs."Īnd Ben Werdmuller agrees. Readership on downes.ca reached a million page views per month in December, and meanwhile total readers at Half an Hour passed a million in 2013 (at which point I was slammed with spam) and is now close to 1.5 million. I guess I missed the news that the blog is dying. Until places like Stanford and, um, MIT, turned them into what they are today.
Let's (continue to) do that." Remember, that's how MOOCs originated, they were something we created to reclaim learning from the institutions. This is a topic very much in line with (and at least for me inspired by) Boone Gorges and D'Arcy Norman's Reclaim Project." See also coverage from Audrey Watters, as well as D'Arcy Norman, who writes, "Yes, there are silos and commodifcation and icky corporate stuff that would be easy to rail against, but what if we just let go of that and (continue to) build the web we want and need? Yeah. "The theme that emerged," writes Groom, "is reclaim, as in reclaim the web, reclaim your data, reclaim open learning, etc. But anyhow, Jim Groom (who I still have faith in after all these years) descended into Babylon to chat with Audrey Watters and Philipp Schmidt on Jöran und Konsorten on Vimeo. Though I'm not sure I'd be seeking out the MIT Media Lab as the place to do it (strictly my own bias, but I don't really associate MIT with 'non-commercial'). Invisibility isn't just for superheroes-privacy is a power you deserve and need in this modern age.If I had a simple way of reclaiming open learning I would do it. He even talks about more advanced "elite" techniques, which, if used properly, can maximize your privacy. In THE ART OF INVISIBILITY Mitnick provides both online and real life tactics and inexpensive methods to protect you and your family, in easy step-by-step instructions. He knows exactly how vulnerabilities can be exploited and just what to do to prevent that from happening. Now, though, Mitnick is reformed and is widely regarded as the expert on the subject of computer security. He has hacked into some of the country's most powerful and seemingly impenetrable agencies and companies, and at one point he was on a three-year run from the FBI. In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick illustrates what is happening without your knowledge-and he teaches you "the art of invisibility." Mitnick is the world's most famous-and formerly the Most Wanted-computer hacker. What once might have been dismissed as paranoia is now a hard truth, and privacy is a luxury few can afford or understand. Consumer's identities are being stolen, and a person's every step is being tracked and stored. Like it or not, your every move is being watched and analyzed. Kevin Mitnick, the world's most famous hacker, teaches you easy cloaking and counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data.
