Social filtering is deeply human
Social Filtering is Human - not brands, not curators, not search, not editors In my book I write that there is limited value in the collection of data (it will be a commodity game), I contend that storage of data is just a cost and a liability, value will be derived from analysis and being about to control the feedback loop. Analysis, I proposed, was algorithms – deeply complex bits of code that could draw out meaningful views from all the data. 15 months on from writing I am left thinking that one aspect of the algorithm – (social) filtering is actually a deeply human task as I trust my network more than brands, curators, search and editors. Therefore, whilst I accept that algorithms can do the task and as well – will I ever trust the results? To quote from David’s very good article, where the diagram came from as well “Often times the quality of links and information I get on Twitter is better than what I would have gotten from Google because the knowledge of the human feed is

Paper leaves a deeper emotional footprint than digital
Paper, it appears, provokes a more emotional response than digital media, according to a recent study. Millward Brown, the ad agency that conducted the research, used MRI brain scans to track neurological responses to printed cards and digital images. Three insights from the study included: Tangible materials leave a deeper footprint in the brain. Physical material involves more emotional processing, which is important for memory and brand associations. Physical materials produced more brain responses connected with internal feelings, suggesting greater “internalization” of the ads. Wonder how this adds to Nicholas Carr views presented in the Shallows Full case study at MillardBrown.com . MillwardBrown_CaseStudy_Neuroscience.pdf
