The assignment is to create a data-driven Web site that has as its database a collection of at least 60 jokes/sayings/images/videos/whatevers. A visitor to the site  can see one of the items selected at random. A visitor can add an item, delete an item, or display all the items.

Whose shall we look at today?

What is Web 2.0?

The mind map pictured above (constructed by Markus Angermeier [1] on November 11 2005) sums up some of the themes of Web 2.0, with example-sites and services attached.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Web_2.0_Map.svg

Web 2.0 Design Patterns

In his book, A Pattern Language, Christopher Alexander prescribes a format for the concise description of the solution to architectural problems. He writes: “Each pattern describes a problem that occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice.”

  1. The Long Tail
    Small sites make up the bulk of the internet’s content; narrow niches make up the bulk of internet’s the possible applications. Therefore: Leverage customer-self service and algorithmic data management to reach out to the entire web, to the edges and not just the center, to the long tail and not just the head.
  2. Data is the Next Intel Inside
    Applications are increasingly data-driven. Therefore: For competitive advantage, seek to own a unique, hard-to-recreate source of data.
  3. Users Add Value
    The key to competitive advantage in internet applications is the extent to which users add their own data to that which you provide. Therefore: Don’t restrict your “architecture of participation” to software development. Involve your users both implicitly and explicitly in adding value to your application.
  4. Network Effects by Default
    Only a small percentage of users will go to the trouble of adding value to your application. Therefore: Set inclusive defaults for aggregating user data as a side-effect of their use of the application.
  5. Some Rights Reserved. Intellectual property protection limits re-use and prevents experimentation. Therefore: When benefits come from collective adoption, not private restriction, make sure that barriers to adoption are low. Follow existing standards, and use licenses with as few restrictions as possible. Design for “hackability” and “remixability.”
  6. The Perpetual Beta
    When devices and programs are connected to the internet, applications are no longer software artifacts, they are ongoing services. Therefore: Don’t package up new features into monolithic releases, but instead add them on a regular basis as part of the normal user experience. Engage your users as real-time testers, and instrument the service so that you know how people use the new features.
  7. Cooperate, Don’t Control
    Web 2.0 applications are built of a network of cooperating data services. Therefore: Offer web services interfaces and content syndication, and re-use the data services of others. Support lightweight programming models that allow for loosely-coupled systems.
  8. Software Above the Level of a Single Device
    The PC is no longer the only access device for internet applications, and applications that are limited to a single device are less valuable than those that are connected. Therefore: Design your application from the get-go to integrate services across handheld devices, PCs, and internet servers.

  • To those who wait… A Place to Bury Strangers, Drawer B
    Fortunately, a year and a half later, Eric noted A Place to Bury Strangers playing on Sirius Radio and referenced an old Pitchfork review he had read about them and today I am very happily reunited with the sounds of Ackermann. Kismet!

  • Quintura Affiliates Service
    It’s noteworthy that from the description given in the article, even running your own DNS server won’t stop this, unless said DNS server is either running custom software to never service unknown names, or it’s completely inaccessible from the outside. Any DNS server that both sender and recipient can talk to will work for what he has, though it can almost certainly be detected via audit logs.
    All this reminds me of a friend who used to talk about IP tunneling over DNS, because DNS was usually a deliberately open port in any firewall. This would allow him to run programs talking to non-standard ports by going through the IP-over-DNS gateway, then having another end of the tunnel on his home machine to send packets out. No idea whether or not he ever actually did it, but there is software out there to do this…

  • Online Polls: Find the best Web Polling Software for your needs
    Most Web Polling software are free, intuitive and require no technical knowledge but the only problem is that there are just too many polling services available and picking the one that best fits your requirement may not be that easy. The following guide therefore highlights the unique features of all the popular web polling software around and this should help you make the right choice quickly.

  • Web 2.0 Storytelling: Emergence of a New Genre (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE CONNECT
    A story has a beginning, a middle, and a cleanly wrapped-up ending. Whether told around a campfire, read from a book, or played on a DVD, a story goes from point A to B and then C. It follows a trajectory, a Freytag Pyramid—perhaps the line of a human life or the stages of the hero’s journey. A story is told by one person or by a creative team to an audience that is usually quiet, even receptive. Or at least that’s what a story used to be, and that’s how a story used to be told. Today, with digital networks and social media, this pattern is changing. Stories now are open-ended, branching, hyperlinked, cross-media, participatory, exploratory, and unpredictable. And they are told in new ways: Web 2.0 storytelling picks up these new types of stories and runs with them, accelerating the pace of creation and participation while revealing new directions for narratives to flow.

    • A Place to Bury Strangers

  • KEXP Blog » Blog Archive » KEXP Video of the Week: A Place to Bury Strangers live @ CMJ
    There were some really loud performances during KEXP’s live broadcast from Gibson Showroom during the 2008 CMJ Music Marathon — from bands like All The Saints, Johnny Foreigner, and Freshkills — but undoubtedly the loudest of all came from A Place to Bury Strangers, a group whose extreme decibel level had even caused the NYC police to shut down a CMJ club show earlier in the week!

  • The Quietus | Reviews | A Place To Bury Strangers
    Eschewing any notions of revolution in favour of evolution, A Place To Bury Strangers have moved the scuzzed-up possibilities of 21st century rock’n’roll to where it should be – louder, brasher and with the ability to upset firmly in place. The album largely succeeds because of its honesty.

  • Band Of The Week – A Place To Bury Strangers: Rock Sound
    “Screaming out of New York City at a million decibels an hour, A Place To Bury Strangers trade in unrelenting bursts of feedback, elliptical basslines and clinically brutal drum fills.” That’s how Rock Sound describes APTBS latest opus (which has finally been given a UK release through Rocket Girl) in this month’s issue and gives them 9/10 for it. Not bad, eh
