O’Reilly Radar: “How Active Is Twitter Now? Tweetspeed” by Brady Forrest, June 26, 2009.
So quantity can be as important as quality (or to put it another way : Twitter’s quality could mainly be quantitative). This is an interesting observation to go along Matthew Hurst’s recent comment about Twitter trending terms.

Interesting. But it’s been my experience that design “practitioners” are very hard on design “thinkers,” which is a shame most of all because it maintains a false opposition between the two.

(I typed this up a week ago after spending the first day in Portland. The second day was also pretty awesome.)
- green, so green; like, all the different shades of green
- pedestrian-friendly! are sidewalks wider here?
- Voodoo’s apple fritter »> maple bacon bar
- people stare, or at least seem not to actively avoid eye contact
- finally learned what IPA stands for; enjoyed a double IPA
- everything at the Farm Cafe was pretty much perfectly cooked (also, cute waiter)
- more sparsely populated than expected, more non-pretty buildings than expected
- I wish I lived here just so I can go to the Saturday farmers market every week
- patient drivers! no honking heard
I wish I lived there too.
There is something about human nature which makes us want to prioritize information by how recent it is, and that is the fundamental appeal of real time search. The difference between real time search and regular search didn’t really crystallize for me until I had a conversation with Edo Segal, who sold his real time search company Relegence to AOL a few years ago and holds three patents on the subject. “Real time taps into consciousness,” says Segal, “search taps into memory. That is why it so potent. You experience the world in real time.”
This raises an interesting dilemma. If real time data streams are akin to the living consciousness of the Web, how do you search them? How do you search consciousness? It is not the same as searching memory, which is what Google does when it looks at its indexed archive of the Web and how those pieces of information build up authority over time. The real time search dilemma centers precisely around how to rank results, and how to resolve the tension between recency and relevancy.

What is 9:16? At its basic it’s an aspect ratio. It’s certainly tall and it’s a screen size I’ve not considered until Apple added video to the iPhone.
There are 2 categories for this online festival.
One Shot: It is a video in one shot. Maybe it’s shot on an iPhone 3GS since that is the reason for this format and festival, but it does not have to be. It is one shot no longer than 3 minutes. Show me your best.
5 Minutes: This one can be edited. You can use whatever format you like as before, just make sure the final cut is no longer than 5 minutes.
Export and Upload: We’re going to use Vimeo for this because Vimeo supports the 9:16 format. We will accept videos in 360x640 and also 480x640. That last one is actually the native aspect ratio of the new iPhone.
Submission: Once you upload your video to Vimeo email me with the link so I can view it. Though I haven’t assembled one, there will be a panel of judges. NineBySixteen (at) gmail (dot) com
Deadline for submissions is Sept. 1st 2009.
More news to follow in the coming weeks.
