Re: [Air-L] CFP: Expanding the frontiers of hacking (Nathaniel Poor)
by Tim Jordan 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Doesn't hacking mean all of the things people mention? Including the bleeding into organised crime that the last 10 years seems to have seen? Whereas that connection would have been pretty much false for the 1980s-early1990s hacking (as in illicit computer intrusion) groups, it certainly doesn't seem so false nowadays. And I'll even add something not really mentioned hacktivism, which seems interestingly absent. All of these terms are contestable but we should have some awareness of the changing history of the term, the sources of that history (Levy's Hacker Ethic has a lot to answer for), the difficulty of data and so on. Which are some of the points already made. Trying to claim the title of 'hacker' for one component of what is a wider community which is also in conflict with itself, doesn't seem a useful way to develop greater understanding. The point is hacking means nearly all the things or is part of the things listed in these arguments; so what does that make hacking? I'd argue it's a particular attitude to technology and society which can be seen in Electronic Disturbance Theatre's Floodnet and in Stuxnet, and Anonymous' use of ddos software, and in Free Softwares rewriting of code. Maybe we should think about the 'and'. Oh, and hackers who break laws do get caught, have always gotten caught and will continue to get caught. Not all of them, but not all bank robbers get caught either.

FW: media and social change networks?
by Michael Gurstein 15 Jun '11

You might want to do some searches around "community informatics" which is very much concerned with ICTs and economic and social development (and associated social change). My current blogpost (and the associated comments) might also be of interest: The-dead-hand-of-western-academe-community-informatics-in-a-less-developed-c ountry-context <http://gurstein.wordpress.com/2011/06/09/the-dead-hand-of-western-academe-c ommunity-informatics-in-a-less-developed-country-context/> (tiny url http://wp.me/pJQl5-6Z ) M Michael Gurstein, Ph.D. Editor in Chief: The Journal of Community Informatics http://ci-journal.net ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 May 2011 11:40:08 +0200 From: Annette Markham <amarkham(a)gmail.com> To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] media and social change networks? Message-ID: <BANLkTinME0UfMXknMUbHqO0M6HawvWQpvg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi All, I'm trying to get a sense of what research collectives/networks focus specifically on media and social change. If you know of any, could you post to this list? I realize this is a huge category, but I'm trying to get a sense of how this general topic is being approached, either within-discipline, across disciplines, or outside academia. My query is deliberately vague to try to generate the breadth of this topic area. (I also ask because I just returned from a workshop focused on creating a research network on media and social change within media anthropology and I'd like to ascertain how closely this network would align with other efforts) Thanks for anything you provide. I'd be happy to share a collection of anything that emerges from this inquiry. annette ***************************************************** Annette N.

DiscoverText’s Cloud Explorer – More Than Just a Tag Cloud
by Stuart Shulman 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

DiscoverText’s Cloud Explorer – More Than Just a Tag Cloud Posted on June 14, 2011 by Mark J. Hoy http://blog.texifter.com/ Continuing from last night’s blog post regarding Texifter’s latest work regarding the new navigation design and functionality in DiscoverText, tonight I’d like to introduce you to DiscoverText’s Cloud Explorer. Most traditional tag clouds such as Wordle and TagCrowd only give you a static view of the terms in your text, however, the new and improved DiscoverText Cloud Explorer allows you not only to visualize the most frequent terms in your archives, but also allows you to customize the terms, term colors, and drill down into your archive by searching directly in DiscoverText on the terms. To create a tag cloud in DiscoverText, first go to your archive details either by right clicking on the archive in the navigation tree, or, clicking on the “Archive” link in the title when an archive is selected: Then, in the “Archive Options” on the right side, choose “Generate Tag Cloud”. The tag cloud generation will start and run asynchronously in the background. After the tag cloud has completed its creation, you will receive a notification. To view your tag cloud, go back to your archive’s detail page and choose “View Tag Cloud”. Initially, your tag cloud may look a bit plain: In the upper-right in the Cloud Explorer, you will find a set of controls for changing the number of words in your tag cloud, increasing or decreasing the font size, or increasing or decreasing the variation of the font sizes. In the future, we may add various options for different layouts as well. Clicking on any term in the cloud will bring up a context menu. For any word in the tag cloud, you can drill down further and run a dynamic search by choosing “search term” for the highlighted word. If you are the archive owner, and wish to permanently remove words from the tag cloud, choose “remove from tag cloud permanently”. With this, you can remove very common words such as “the”, “and”, “http”, etc. If you choose “remove from tag cloud for this session”, then the term will be removed from this particular tag cloud while you are logged into DiscoverText. If you log out and log back in, it will reappear. This is good for performing tag cloud-based triage when trying to analyze your archives to choose keywords without performing any destructive edits. Finally, again if you are the owner of an archive, you will also see the option to set a term’s color. If you click on the small color swatch to the right, a small color selection popup will be shown (as it is shown in the screenshot above). You can choose a color to assign to the term and click “set term color” to permanently set the word’s color. This is useful for highlighting key terms while performing your analysis. I hope this gives you a bit of an introduction to one of the many new and exciting functions of DiscoverText we’ve been working on. You should also note that DiscoverText’s Cloud Explorer is only available for those users either still within the 30 day trial period, or those with professional or enterprise licenses. As always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us. DiscoverText is free for the first 30 days with no credit card required. Data for many social media dissertations, articles, and blog posts can be quickly and easily gathered, filtered, de-duplicated, clustered, analyzed and exported in a variety of formats (ex., .csv or XML) or expressed through the system reporting tools. ~Stu -- Stuart Shulman President & CEO Texifter, LLC <http://www.texifter.com/> Have you tried DiscoverText? http://discovertext.com *Featuring the Facebook Graph & Twitter APIs*
