Insight, "Tumblr Around"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

Tumblr Around

quick…

very common on tumblr for people to re-blog one another; often creating circles of circles of content — every two consecutive words (as well from last to first) link up to form a unique and logically correct and applicable phrase — a circlular poem

…quick

the simplicity of the poem, mirroring the simplicity of the website, typically a quick quote or picture, nothing long…. simply circular

Insight, "Google, Verizon, FCC: Epic Neutrality"

Today’s Web Laureate Insight to Wednesday’s poem…

Google, Verizon, FCC: Epic Neutrality

what !

the future holds for net neutrality is uncertain, at best, determined to fail at worst — spurred by the controversially weak fcc, the google-verizon talks

the !

horizon, metaphor for the future, and equal opportunity arbiter, maintaining an unbiased place, with neither land nor sky, up nor down, large nor small corporations to overtake quash one another — maintaining a harmony and open neutrality, no favorites, all equally competing in their own way — as may should and hopefully be going forward and forever on the internet

Google, Verizon, FCC: Epic Neutrality

out there on the horizon
as one casts gaze
unable to tell
night from day
through the clouds
the misty haze
or other or inclements
through which
forward may bring…

out there on the horizon…
separating
sky from sea
the neutral
the constant clear
up from down

the same many
one remembers
neither more
important than
one another
neither now
nor none seen
in further future

Insight, "Yahoo: goodb(Y!)e"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

Yahoo: goodb(Y!)e

Woo

whimsical was once at the heart of the innovation of yahoo — the stuff of red plus blue.

Woo

no longer can the stuff be found — with the layoffs of the past — most likely coming back around.

Classic, "Yahoo: goodb(Y!)e"

there once was a company named yahoo.
a great directory there was for all of you
          but then neglect
          with leadership wrecked
bid 20% of their workforce adieu.

Insight, "WikiLeaks: Made Blush"

Today’s Web Laureate Insight to Wednesday’s poem…

WikiLeaks: Made Blush

the

online website dedicated to revealing and shedding light on secrets recently created a lot of controversy with the release of a mass of documents about the Afgan war. this is a website truly changing the way news is revealed and disseminated

big

are the ‘secrets’ once concealed. ‘asleep’ those secrets and those who were oblivious to them. nothing secret that people must know should be considered to remain in ‘anonymity’ with these websites in existence

and

through the way they are now being ‘micro’ funded, by way of other online service, digg-like money generating flattr, they may prove to be unstoppable and doubly revolutionizing — flattering — blush 😉

WikiLeaks: Made Blush

in secrets
out released they deal
enough
to make
the sleepers wake
tough
of task forgotten not
when those who anonymously
were are less so much more
make blush by micro many
by those who truth they adore

Insight, "Scoble: Action Aggregate"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into Saturday’s poem…

Scoble: Action Aggregate

point

the structure of the poem with ever decreasing number of syllables per line until it reaches 0 — representing, in abstract, the concept of data aggregation leading towards a smiley happiness

light

an important event this work explored — highlighting the disempowerment of users online through the lack of control being enforced over the users, exemplified by the then and continuing lack of portability of content and personal information from the likes of facebook to elsewhere

Classic, "Scoble: Action Aggregate"

On facebook on orkut for business or some fun

       And everyone from friends to all are aware

       That they only can so very much bare

       Unconnected friends unconnecting

       Profiles all around away fading

With to manage — able none

       No simple single way

       Without some horseplay

       To move to

       Many due

To one

       1

      

Dedicated to Robert Scoble —
The means, and Plaxo, not quite noble —
For elevating the conversation
Of social network aggregation,
As well as social network data portability…
For this I, and we, appreciate his popularity.
