Effect of the Depression on Technology – O’Reilly Radar
- Diigo community thoughts on (at least) the highlighted points will be greatly appreciated. If you can, make your sticky notes public; the highlights will be shared with other interested groups. Thanks! – By Graham Perrin

this recession will be good for innovation because recessions generally are
-
A recession means technologists cease to be paid vast amounts to duplicate the work of others
-
low-cost high-impact physical events we’ve created (Ignite, hacker meetups, coworking spaces, foo/bar camps) will thrive
-
agree that tough times foster innovation
-
@gregor’s point about cultural activities increasing in Argentina during their 2001 recession sounds like an indicator in favour of open source
-
We are dealing with this as I will be graduating from college and entering the job market
-
I will be a hacker housewife and improve my skills while taking care of husband and home
-
innovation is a cultural effect within companies and cannot be turned on or off due to economic conditions
-
if the company has a traditional mindset
-
then innovation is going to be an uphill climb regardless of how many great ideas are floating around
-
a Fortune 500 company
-
clearly defined ROI
-
also those companies who attempt to clean up the mess government is going to make. The regulations that come out of the current crisis are going to be draconian
-
The additional costs of compliance will also affect new launches and IPOs due to the additional costs, so there is another negative drag on innovation, or at least the monetization of those innovations
-
a social network that harnesses its members to contribute to open source projects? Instead of playing facebook games or posting pics of yourself wasted at the latest party, get the members to commit to donating that extra time to a small piece of a large open source project
-
benefit from a legion of even poorly skilled members if given clear directions
-
qualified peer review
-
use it as a learning process
-
Help others by online mentoring in resource-challenged places, etc.
-
We can afford to devote maybe 10-20% of our time to open source
-
the truth is I put in 20-30 hours a week in the evenings, mornings and week ends to make the big pushes happen

sweat equity
- I like that expression — sweat equity – By Graham Perrin

Everyone puts in extra time

geek.teacher » Blog Archive » One way I use Diigo
-
A few months back, after checking out the options available, I switched over to using Diigo. It offers more options, and has some nice grouping features. Also, I primarily use it because it can send links to delicious every time I make a new bookmark, and would import from delicious when I started, but delicious doesn’t offer the same options. This way I have a backup of my bookmarks, as well as access to tools that interact with delicious. This way, too, if I’ ever someplace that blocks one but not the other, I won’t find myself lost in the middle of a lake without a paddle.
Like most of the social networking tools, I more or less exclusively use it as a professional resource. I do the personal posting thing in Twitter to some degree because everybody does, and it’s what makes the community a way of getting to know people, but I’m really there for interacting with other educators. This blog primarily, but not always, deals with education. Any nings I belong to are education-related, and of the major social networking sites, the only one I’m on is LinkedIn, a professional resource. Diigo is the same for me. It’s all about things tangentially related to education.
