A new feature here on techne-eikon is the Weekend Reading post. As I go through the week, I run across numerous articles and blog posts that are worth reading, but I just can’t get to right then. Up until now, I have been bookmarking them and forgetting that they even exist. So this is the new plan: collect them into a handy dandy blog post to be published every Friday for my weekend reading list. And so with that, let’s kick this weekend off with these three:
The Real-time Web has Gone to the Dogs – A kick off post for ReadWriteWebs’s ReadWrite Real-Time Web Summit, it cites an article that likens processing the real-time Web to the way a dog’s nose works. I think. I’ll also be reading the source post, “What can dogs tell us about the real-time web?” just to make sure of that last bit.
The Primal Forces that Drive Social Networks – an interesting look at the history of Network Theory. If we can understand how networks grow and develop, perhaps we can then learn to better interact with them without wasting hours of our day wading through all the crap.
And speaking of wading through the crap, 21 Must-Follow Tips For Optimizing Time Spent In Social Media has already made it to my list this weekend on title alone. ‘Nuff said.
So that’s about it for this weekend, mainly becasue I just thought of this idea this morning. So be warned: I usually run across 3 to 5 “must reads” per day, so next weeks post could be a little bigger.
Cheers, Marc
