[tonz] Here’s a post I wrote 15yrs ago with some notes on why I think lurking is valuable to a healthy community, and its place/rol in networks. https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2004/02/lurking_and_soc/

jeremycherfas Nice piece [tonz] Have you considered your magic numbers in the context of Robin Dunbar's "number"?

chrisaldrich sebsel, I thought much the same thing when I read it and I almost wouldn't have been shocked to have seen the phrase "filter bubble" either... ;)

# jeremycherfas I’m pretty sure we were discussing echo chambers in 2003 at BlogTalk.

# chrisaldrich Echo chambers (from a media perspective) date back to at least the very early 2000's according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_chamber_(media), though I do wonder where the first mention occurred....

# [tonz] [tantek] re network topology, yes, very much. I approached it then from a learning and knowledge management perspective and community of practice. You may have seen Valdis Krebs in the comments on that posting, still very active in network mapping / thinking. Also very much influenced by blog conversations with educators like George Siemens and Stephen Downes (probably both known to [jgmac1106]), who both blogged and blog about informal learning netw
# [tonz] Yes, [jeremycherfas] it was very much a topic at BlogTalk in 2003. Rebecca Blood talked about echo chambers iirc as well in her opening keynote. I wrote a lot about information strategies and the role of social software as we called it then, between 2003-2006. Currently revisiting all that for an update, so I’ve listed them here: https://www.zylstra.org/blog/information-strategies-overview/ [sebsel] I didn’t call it filter bubbles then, but did t
# [tonz] right type of feedback in this posting on info-filtering from 2005 https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2005/09/information_str/

# [tonz] [jeremycherfas] Dunbar and the ‘magic numbers’ in that old posting. Yes very much so. This is a posting a month later: https://www.zylstra.org/blog/2004/03/dunbar_number/
# chrisaldrich kevinmarks++ for helping to keep Christopher Allen's website up for all that great old research/writing [tonz] links to.

jamietanna[m] I'm submitting for a Call For Papers and am planning on doing an IndieWeb talk - does this sound like a catchy (and valid) title?
# jamietanna[m] > The IndieWeb Movement: Owning Your Data and Being the Change You Want to See in the World
# jamietanna[m] Good thinking
# chrisaldrich I'm curious what the audience is jamietana[m]?
# jamietanna[m] The conference is http://oggcamp.com/ which is for Free / Open Source Software / Digital Rights enthusiasts
# jamietanna[m] So it'll be people who've maybe not heard of us, but will have some technical background
# jamietanna[m] I've got this as the elevator pitch:
# jamietanna[m] > We strive for Free and Open Source software in the world, on mobile, desktop and server. But what about the Web? The IndieWeb is all about taking control, owning your data, and scratching your itches. We're working to take back the Web, and I'll show you how you can, too.
# chrisaldrich In my experience some conferences may need some additional background and detail on what IndieWeb is and how it fits into the world to be able to evaluate talks which are otherwise summarized by a simple title and a couple of paragraphs.
# jamietanna[m] Fair enough - I've got a wider "description" that goes into it in a bit more depth
# chrisaldrich definitely focus on what's important to them by highlight the open source aspects and the digital rights pieces of IndieWeb... I suspect that doing that will dramatically increase your chances of acceptance.
# jamietanna[m] :+
# jamietanna[m] 👍️ *
# jamietanna[m] Thanks chrisaldrich 😃

# petermolnar we fall back to confcalls
# petermolnar https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/compute/19003 - completely unrelated thoughts: I see the time there indicating the timezone - is there a reasonable way from javascript to turn a <time>'s datetime into a local time based on IP?
# petermolnar thought this is probably -dev
# petermolnar btw obviously that status page has NO semantic markup at all
