Five years ago, Socialtext was but a spark in my eye, I had a
newborn and was feeding off of the energy fo the web. Not all the people
in the above blogroll, back when blogrolls meant something, are still blogging,
but are still around and I wonder what would happen if you put them into a
room.
I'm not sure what the next five years holds for me. I think I'll
still be here. Making energy to get energy.
今度は、"Blogging Heros"という今年12月に出版予定の本で見る注目すべき30人のBlogger List。The Long TailのChris AndersonのBlogで見たのですが、出版社はインタビューした30人のBloggerに、すでに無料でその章だけpdfファイルを提供する権利を付与しているようです。
ちなみに、Chris AndersonのBlogから、第2章のクリス・アンダーソンの章のpdfファイルがダウンロードできます。出版前から著者やインタビューした人のBlogを通して、本が話題に上ること、これがWeb2.0のすごさかもしれません。
本の章立ては以下の通り。

Squeeze your ex out of the picture
Posted by daviding on September 2, 2007 under web tools
Photo retouching — with programs such as Photoshop, or the open source clone Gimpshop version of the GNU Image Manipulation Program — can be used to doctor images (sometimes obviously, and sometimes inobviously). I’m more of a programmer than a graphics artists, so I usually just do a quick cropping, resizing and sharpening of my JPEG photographs using Irfanview. This means that the proportions within the image remain the same.
Download Squad pointed out a “next gen image resizing method”, linking to a prior news item about a 4-1/2 minute Youtube video where Shai Avidan demonstrates “Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing”, for a recent SIGGRAPH conference. It’s fun to watch the video, because it alters images in a way similar to the way human beings do: it keeps the key content (e.g. people) in natural proportion, while removing out some of the uninteresting (or “dead space”) content (e.g. sky).
毎日楽しみに見ているNicholas CarrのBlog：Rough Typeで、カーネギーメロン大学の学生による研究がACMの学会でベストペーパーとして表彰されていると紹介されています。氾濫するBlogの中から、いかに光るBlogを見つけるか、という興味深い研究であることがわかったので、まずはトップ１００のBlogリストをご紹介します。発表された論文はこちら。
わたしが見たことがあるBlogは４つしか入っていません。やはり、世界は広いし、まだまだすごいBlogと出会えそうな期待が大きく膨らみました。この週末は、遅い台風も来ていて、雨。リストにあるBlogをみて、玉を抽出するロジックと現物を対比して自分なりに理解してみるか、と考えています。You can see the website for the study here and a PDF file for the report
can be found here. The paper was
awarded the best student paper award at the ACM SIGKDD International Conference
on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining. (via Data
Mining) Here is a list of the 100 top ranked blogs.

トム・レーラー(Tom Lehrer, 1928年4月9日 - )は、アメリカ合衆国の歌手。ハーバード大学教授兼弾き語りで風刺ソングを歌う。
NASAの宇宙計画に膨大な予算がつぎ込まれ社会保障政策がなおざりにされている現状を憂いて「ヴェルナー・フォン・ブラウンの歌」を歌い、1950年代にヒットした。NASAにおけるジェミニ・アポロ両計画は膨大な予算を必要とした。これは全科学予算の多くを吸収するもので、当時アカデミズムにおいて、問題を引き起こした。
