Designing for a future of TRILLIONS

Trillions from MAYAnMAYA on Vimeo.

MAYAnMAYA are back with another fun illustrated video about the future of information organization. The video here talks about how the future of information architecture and infrastructure is going to be in the TRILLIONS with layered pieces controlling the flow of information.

Their previous videos on Architecture and Information should be a good starting point if you aren’t familiar with the work of MAYAnMAYA.

Google Dashboard lets you see what Google knows about you

November 5, 2009 @ 7:49 pm

Google launched a new feature (not really a feature, actually) today called Dashboard that lets you easily see all of the information that Google stores about you in one place. The site is an easy way to get to each Google product’s settings/privacy pages without having to log in to each service.

If you use Google products and services on a day to day basis, I recommend that you go to your Google Dashboard and see if you’ve got any settings you might want to change.

I saw Mactracker over at TUAW and was intrigued by its purpose. Mactracker is a freeware app that is basically a library of Apple computer products from the very beginning to the most recent. It can provide very detailed information on any computer and note any changes from version to version. It even provides information like how much it was on sale for at the time of its release.

For the information junky in me, this application is GOLD.

WWIII propaganda posters

WWIII-google-earth

World War 3 isn’t currently under way (at least not officially), but if it were to happen I believe these fake WWIII propaganda posters speak the truth about the power behind the spread of information in the virtual world. The continual access to relevant and correct information is no doubt going to make a big difference in driving support — or disgust — against a particular side in a conflict. Check out the rest of the Flickr photoset to see some posters about the power behind Twitter.

Oversharers: a showcase of people who share too much information

June 3, 2009 @ 10:43 pm

oversharers

Oversharers is a new website that collects Facebook status updates, tweets, and blog posts from people online who seem to share way too much information about their private lives. Nice, maybe Oversharers and Tweeting Too Hard will have some effect on the type of things people upload to the internet. Maybe.
