HCI2011 Shneiderman
Future of HCI: Ben Shneiderman at HCI Orlando
Professor Ben Shneiderman
University of Maryland, talks about the future of HCI in his keynote “Technology-Mediated Social Participation: The Next 25 Years of HCI Challenges”
The success of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, blogs, and traditional discussion groups empowers individuals to become active in local and global communities. Shneiderman believes that with modest redesign, these technologies can be harnessed to support national priorities such as healthcare/wellness, disaster response, community safety, energy sustainability, etc.

Web 2.0 at T-Systems
Open Space conference to discuss Web 2.0
Today, I am invited to take part in a Open Space conference to discuss Web 2.0 techniques and its impact on T-Systems’ marketing and corporate communication. More than 100 internal and external experts meet at Römerkastell in Stuttgart.
People are especially interested in Blogging, Twitter and mobile communication. But T-Systems employees also worry about side effects… What does it mean to be online night and day, working for the company by receiving mails at 10pm or sending tweets during lunch break? Who are the “Digital Natives” and the less Web 2.0 literate, the “Digital Immigrants”? Who will survive? Will there be a digital divide between cultures or generations? Is “real-time marketing” an answer to the future business communication needs? More questions than answers at the moment and lot of people talk about impacts of techniques they haven’t even used yet…

Tools for Twitter

Tools for your
ultimate Twitter experience
Since Twitter is the new hype (more than 500Mio Google-Hits…), millons of users express themselves with tweets, those short messages where you can inform others what you are up to. (See my tweets in the column on the very right). In a recent poll, they found that Business People Say Twitter (is) More Important Than LinkedIn.
One more reason to finally get organized…
These are the tools which I find very useful and have a great usability …and help you not to get lost in “Twitter space”…
Nice dashboard, gives an overview on your Twitter activities: your friend’s tweets, which you can group, replies, Facebook status, favorites, Twitscoop (trend topics of the moment) and you can tweet aswell and shorten included urls
Trendy black interface, a bit slow and unstable though.
similiar but simpler: Twhirl and Twitterfox, an add-on for Firefox
Twittercounter / TwitterRemote
Twittercounter: statistics and predictions, rankings (The top 10 most followed Twitter users), new: email notification
TwitterRemote: see which Twitter users visit your site. After twitter users sign in their profile is displayed on every TwitterRemote enabled website they visit after that. The advantage for site owners is that they see who visits their site and they even have an opportunity to contact these people.
Tool developed by The Next Web, they host a conference and a blog and they tweet of course…
Tweetmeme is a service which aggregates all the popular links on twitter. Tweetmeme is able to categorize these links into categories and subcategories, making it easy to filter out the noise to find what you are interested in.
follow Twitter feeds, organized in topic groups.
Twitterfall is a way of viewing the latest tweets of upcoming trends and custom searches on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Updates fall from the top of the page in near-realtime. Fun to watch!
Nice little service, gives you some information about your twitter feed
– the name says it all…

I am coming to China regularly.
Chat at Second Life
This week I attended a meeting with some of my colleagues of Hochschule Esslingen and experts for University enrollment from other institutions presented by ZEIT ONLINE. Prospective students where offered the oppportunity to discuss tips and tricks in order to find the right University and study programme. I attended as a virtual person, a so called avatar (Marja McMillan, you might recognize her on the picture 😉 …Marja turns her head to the guy in the back).
We had some interesting chat about the pros and cons of Second Life, and funny enough… nobody of the younger people – the adressed audience of this talk – showed up. Not one!
Why was that so? May be this event was not promoted enough, but I already recognized lacking of Second Life interest at my students two years ago. SL is difficult to enter, the application is still quite unstable and interaction in SL is not very user-friendly. But sure enough, it is more fun to talk to some avatars then having a group conference via phone or Skype! You can “see” who the active speaker is. But is this attractive enough?
Second Life is for sure not hyped anymore. I have a clue that at the moment Twitter is the application which seems to be most hot and sexy (have a look at the right-most column on my blog btw)
What do you think? Do you use SL? Or do use any social platforms online? For what reasons? And what are your experiences? Leave a comment if you like…
