Meet Charlie - what is Enterprise2.0? � SlideShare

Well, I can't express enough my relief of seeing that maybe I'm not that crazy after all. Of course, I'm fully aware of my mental sanity. But maybe the others aren't. Sometimes it's hard when every physical smart person you encounter looks skeptical at you when you talk about web2.0 and wikis enthusiastically. Here's a slide released about 2 weeks ago. With over 2000 views and so many favorites and comments I can feel the reach of the elite web-based community ...


Exciting times are these.

Web 2.0 at SlideShare

Here's a presentation I made today at Aksen, a small e-learning and web-solutions enterprise, from remixed buzz-words from the Web2.0 scene



Am I becoming a Web2.0 evangelist?

This sacred text, written by some unknown hagiographer, pretends to depict the theory of Creation of the Fundamental Search Engine and how it was conceived by the gods. The original texts are thought to have been translated from a lost page somewhere near the end of the internet at babelfish. They probably date from a pre-semantic web era, but it's difficult to say which.

We're back in 1994 (or so), at the Computer Sciences Department of Stanford University, California. Two friends, let's call them Laurel and Sargi, have just engaged an amene conversation:

L: Hey Sargi, look here.
S: What?
L: Consider an internet page. I know where it links to ... but ... I don’t know where it’s linked from.
S: Why should I care?
L: Ok, remember our professor’s papers? And the citations they contain to their peers?
S: What about?
L: Well, citations to peers in a paper are pretty much like links to other pages in a webpage. You know who the paper cites to, but you don’t know whom the paper is cited from.
S: Boorriiiinnnng! ....
L: Wait, but the thing IS what determines the relevance of a paper is the number of citations it gets from its peers.
S: So?
L: So, It’s a pain in the butt to actually calculate it. Editors spend a lot of their effort in counting how many citations a paper gets. That way scholarly colleagues may rank the relevance of their papers.
S: Sheesh, you really have weird interests.
L: Maybe, BUT if we could tell how many links a page gets, then we could rank it!
S: Well Laurel, that must be the most pointless idea I've ever heard in my whole life!
L: Yeah! And I convinced my teacher to endorse it as my final project. Wanna help me?
S:Ok, sure! Let's do it.

YubNub - YubNub.org

Ok, forget the last post, forget opendns, here's the real thing that already exists for nearly two years now. It's called YubNub and it's a (social) command line for the Internet Operating System where everybody is invited to create urls and little javascripts that act as operators on the internet.
YubNub is like bookmarklets on steroids.
It was originally designed for searching and provided a Googlish web-form that would allow to search every search engine with advanced features, all from the command line.
But, as it's fully extensible, only your imagination is the limit for its use.

Nothing you couldn't do with Opera or Firefox bookmarks, true. But,
- it's social (everybody adds new commands that are available freely)
- it allows alias,
- it allows pipes!! :o (That truly blasts everything I've seen before on the internet).
- it allows personal commands.

You can even add the rubnub command bar to firefox to replace the address bar. You can set it as the default search engine in Opera.

Some facts: It was developed for the One Day Ruby Contest'2005, Jonathan Aquino is his creator.

Look, just try it yourself, really! You can access the list of the available commands by typing "ls" and you can see the list of top-rated commands (called golden-eggs) by typing (ge).
