David Weinberger
Everything is Miscellaneous
Wired News/Berkman Center Podcast Series
In his latest interview for Wired, Berkman Fellow David Weinberger speaks with BBC News Director Richard Sambrook about the migration of news to online mediums.
As they discuss, there are a number of issues that come into play with this conversion, some that remove pre-existing controls and editorial rights that news outlets once held exclusively.
They are forced to reconsider the organization of information since a “front page” is no longer a broadsheet or a tabloid, but stretches as far down as someone is willing to scroll. And there are also more interactive tools that help the readers to decide what’s important or interesting, thereby wresting some predictability and control away from an intended focus. Their conversation continues as they address a number of other issues such interaction and fundamental change bring about.
The complete interview is available as a podcast, transcript, and MP3 download. David’s recent work, Everything is Miscellaneous, is also available on the Berkman Books page. The entire interview series with Internet luminaries is available on the Wired Blog.

On June 19, danah boyd participated in the Berkman Luncheon Series to discuss her work and research in the area of social networks. She provided a great historical context to the various sites that have come and gone from the center of Internet activity, as well as some insight into what brought about their successes and failures.
Prior to her presentation she explained, “Publics offer youth a space to engage in cultural identity development. By engaging in public life, youth learn to interpret the cultural signals that surround them and incorporate these cultural elements into their life. For a diverse array of reasons, contemporary youth have limited access to the types of publics with which most adults grew up. As a substitute for these inaccessible publics, networked publics like MySpace and Facebook are emerging to provide contemporary American youth with a necessary site for peer engagement.”
danah boyd is a doctoral candidate in the School of Information at the University of California-Berkeley and a fellow at the USC Annenberg Center for Communications.

Everything is Miscellaneous
Wired News/Berkman Center Podcast Series
The market for online travel information and booking seems pretty well covered by just a few dominant sites, yet Kayak.com has found a way to build off of their success with the information it aggregates. In his latest interview for Wired, Berkman Fellow David Weinberger discusses how cofounder Paul English implements the organization of information to compete in an established market.
A central principle of David’s latest work, Everything is Miscellaneous, is that the digital age has allowed users to demand and implement - instead of just imagining - their own levels of aggregation and organization. David and Paul explore this and much more in their conversation, which is available as a podcast on the Wired blog.
David’s recent work, Everything is Miscellaneous, is also available on the Berkman Books page. David’s entire interview series with Internet luminaries is available on the Wired Blog.
