Study 1.    Time Inc . Study Reveals That "Digital Natives" Switch Between Devices and Platforms Every Two Minutes, Use Media to Regulate Their Mood The findings include: Digital Natives switch their attention between media platforms (i.e. TVs, magazines, tablets, smartphones or channels within platforms) 27 times per hour , about every other minute. Because Digital Natives spend more time using multiple media platforms simultaneously, their emotional engagement with content is constrained. They experience fewer highs and lows of emotional response and as a result, Digital Natives more frequently use media to regulate their mood - as soon as they grow tired or bored, they turn their attention to something new. At home, Digital Natives take their devices from room to room with them (65% vs. 41% for Digital Immigrants) - rarely more than an arm's length away from their smartphones - making switching platforms even easier. More than half (54%) of Digital Nativ...

The deep packet inspection techniques proposed by the UK government represent a “really serious” breach of privacy, according to S TBL speaking during his keynote speech at W3C. Talking about the  controversial Communications Capabilities Development Programme , the inventor of the web said: “Somebody clamps a deep packet inspection (DPI) thing on your cable which reads every packet and reassembles the web pages, cataloguing them against your name, address and telephone number either to be given to the government when they ask for it or to be sold to the highest bidder — that’s a really serious breach of privacy.”

As we have a large and growing group in the UK and London of those interested in: identity, user centric identity, internet identity, vrm, personal data, digital lockers, digital footprint, personal identifiable data (pii) and personal data eco-systems…. And as an outcome from Doc visit to London in April we have decided to try and bring the community together and start a regular (monthly) meet-up/ open working space/ un-conference/ discussion/ for us to meet up and move forward with sharing and achieving. This also builds on a workshop Iain Henderson and I put on at Innovation Warehouse on Personal Data Store interoperability in April ( write up by Phil is here )  and so the outcome is that we have decided that we should do a wider reaching day with Kaliya Hamlin @IdentityWoman when she was in London with Drummond Reed, Phil Windley and many others for the WEF tiger team on Personal data.  The purpose is to move forward the conversation, solutions and projects and f...

Over on Doc Searls weblog he posted What and who are we? And this started me thinking about some other terms…how we accept something have always been. I normalised by view from looking at microprocessor vs transistor. See the full gallery on Posterous

Over at BuzzMachine on @jeffjarvis’s blog his opening on recent post called Social (network) Pressure is “By adding an organ-donation tool to Facebook , Mark Zuckerberg is setting up a dynamic of social pressure for virtue. Is that always good?” This is a great question as it moves the debate on from public, private, trust and identity [which you can spend a life debating and get no where.]  Why then is it a good question?  To me it is one of the new Digital Dilemmas, Digital Scruples, Digital Insights about humanity as it focus is on expectation, experience and context.  It is one that Data cannot tell you, yet…. how you should respond. I love the comment stream on this post as it hits right at why we are human. More social will not remove our ‘innovative’ opinions, move over tech world the anthropologists are coming through.

When Nancy Lublin started texting teenagers to help with her social advocacy organization, what she found was shocking -- they started texting back about their own problems, from bullying to depression to abuse. So she's setting up a text-only crisis line, and the results might be even more important than she expected.

Original post  https://www.mydigitalfootprint.com/2012/03/privacy-identity-and-personal-data-are.html I hope this picture shows that our model of what is Private is not the same I hope this picture shows that our model of what is Public is not the same  I am hoping therefore that we can agree that …. There is NO one model of Privacy that works in all cases and in all places There is NO one model of Private that works in all cases and in all places There is NO one model of Public that works in all cases and in all places There is NO one model of Trust that works in all cases and in all places

  I have done several talks and debates on this topic – here is the most recent write up from mashup * - Social TV is a major disruption in the rapidly changing “home ecosystem” industry. The outcome from that event mirrors this report as well…. Stowe Boyd free report “ Social TV and the second screen “, characterises the forces at work in the emergence of social TV, presents a framework for understanding the changes that are already at work in the industry, and profiles some of the most innovative companies in the sector. “The most significant change — from the perspective of the user, at least — will be shift in emphasis toward a rich and social user experience, and a decrease in the emphasis around the content being delivered via TV. This doesn’t mean that people will stop caring about high quality TV: they will still care about quality. But users will demand that TV content fit into the social context.” and her...

Professor Arun Sundararajan describes India’s fascinating digital identity initiative [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RclLYHORnVo]

The BBC released some interesting research around participation online. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2012/05/bbc_online_briefing_spring_201_1.html ----- One of the defining characteristics of digital media is interaction. It enables us to be active, make choices, build connections, express ourselves and exercise a new level of control over our media experiences. But how active is the UK online population really? And how might this change in years to come? With these questions in mind, my team and I conducted a large-scale, long-term investigation into how the UK online population participates using digital media today - from sharing links, to writing blogs and uploading photos. And it revealed a fascinating, and at times, surprising picture. Like the population itself, the picture is nuanced but six striking themes emerged: The model which has guided many people's thinking in this area, the 1/9/90 rule , is outmoded. The number of people participating online is s...

Extremely good TED talk… As you surf the Web, information is being collected about you. Web tracking is not 100% evil -- personal data can make your browsing more efficient; cookies can help your favourite websites stay in business. But, says Gary Kovacs, it's your right to know what data is being collected about you and how it affects your online life. He unveils a Firefox add-on to do just that.

March 2012:  “context is the key to privacy” is the up shot of the FTC Privacy Report (free to download all 112 pages of it) However this misses a key point to me that is what you believe is context is different to what I think in context.  If we took 100 people to the cinema to watch a horror movie, whilst you will not get 1 unified view and you will not get 100 different views, you will end up with a range of views about the film and its content based on the views personal experiences and expectations.  There is lots of research about how you can change experience by change expectations. Maybe we should worry less about privacy and more about managing expectations as a way of setting policy.

  I was invited out to speak at EIC this year. It was very good to catch up with so many familiar faces and have some very well rounded discussions.  Lots of the material is on their podcast here One particular phrase Martin Kuppinger from Kuppinger Cole spoke to was Life Management Platforms and this links to a free report from him and this as a wider blog from Martin on the topic Intention and Attention – how Life Management Platforms can improve Marketing Life Management Platforms are not “Personal Data Stores” in the sense of adding “apps” to the data stores and being able to work with different personal data stores. The concept is allow data to be consumed but not unveil that data – in contrast to a data store which just could provide or allow access to personal data. Conceptually a Life Management Platform will enable you to control whom to inform about a “social” event. It is this point that I find difficult.  I b...

Here some articles from Facebook about their data provided by the Facebook data team Sources: http://www.facebook.com/data/notes   and  http://www.facebook.com/data/app_190322544333196 Rethinking Information Diversity in Networks Do friends shape the information you see and read online? Some claim that social networks act like echo chambers in which people only consume and share information from likeminded close friends, stifling the spread of diverse information. Our study paints a different picture of the world. The Links of Love Some people marry their high school sweethearts and live together ‘til death do them part’. Other couples go their separate ways and find love anew. All these collective romantic movements can be used to construct a relationship graph. Relationship graphs (Susan dated Joe who previously dated Jane...) are difficult to maintain on a napkin or a whiteboard because who’s dating whom can quickly become yesterday’s news. Bu...

Source: http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2012/03/the-personal-analytics-of-my-life/ The article is a walk through Stephen’s life based on his data and the data shows what we expect of a professional.  Where is the value?  The value comes, I think, not from this data set but from the collective of data sets.  If we all did this and provided our data for it to be compared and contrasted. And this is where we have to be careful. If I carefully pick people like me, guess what we will all slap ourselves on the back and say well done we are all as “efficient” as each other. How do you find improvements, how do you determine wastage, how to you seek out value, where is inspiration…. We know it is in there, but how do we find it and nurture it as it is about to occur?

The Facebook Fallacy , is an essay by Michael Wolff in MIT technology review and the quote that is getting some focus is….“ At the heart of the Internet business is one of the great business fallacies of our time: that the Web, with all its targeting abilities, can be a more efficient, and hence more profitable, advertising medium than traditional media. ” Now this is not a new revelation. Here are some articles one from each year as the point could be rather laboured. 2008 Business Week ; 2009 TechCrunch ; 2010 IAB/ PWC study ; 2011 TheStar ; 2012 DocSearls When I was writing My Digital Footprint back in 2008/2009 I wrote in Chapter 6 “the two sided business model” about the collision of two words, the old traditional one and the new bright shinny full of promise digital one.  The linkage and the clash would happen as both worlds fight over advertising dollars.  In the diagram below AAS (advertising as a service) The diagram I used was thi...

Source/ Download : http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_IT_RethinkingPersonalData_Report_2012.pdf Personal opinion It is a good report and worth reading, however I feel that the missing part is that of managing “expectations.”  What I mean by this is when you sit back and ask yourself how you want your data treated and marry that to how an organisation asks you to treat customer data we find there are conflicts and each person sitting round the table has a different expectation both of what they want and what they expect. I believe that personal data and what we can do with it is defined by our propensity to take or manage risk based on expectation. Our frustration is that those with lower risk have higher authority and that limits our own personal reach, scope, creativity and aspiration and our annoyance is created by those with a higher risk propensity and a-can-do attitude that want to take us beyond our own boundaries of expectation.  I would have loved for the...

Check out this kickstarter that looks to build out a standard label for information sharing scenario's.  

Assuming that “Identity,Trust and Privacy” fade [by fade I mean hard boundary (technical, permission, certificate) and soft boundary (time, relevance, reach)], is it useful to consider that your network [by which I mean consider the network in the widest possible sense: physical, six degrees, payment, access, codes, influence, reach, recommendation, LogIn, ID, FoF] edges should be defined by a propensity to risk. The lower risk desired the closer you need to be to the source. Is our frustration that those with the lowest risk have the highest authority and that I cannot enable my risk profile across my services?
