blog Crowdsourcing interpretation with Prism, a new software from the Scholar's Lab
Jun 2012
Prism is a new online tool by the Scholars' Lab at the University of Virginia. In a nutshell, Prism lets users independently highlight and annotate passages from a text, then mashes up all of these highlights into a new version of the text where the 'importance' of certain passages is rendered graphically via colors and font sizes.

blog Gmail labels sorting order
Oct 2010
Gmail's labels are great for they let you organize your constantly growing mailbox in a non-final way. That is, using the 'tagging' concept, you can assign the same tag to multiple items, or different tags to the same items, add/remove tags etc etc. All of this is well known and documented. One thing though still surprises me. Why the heck can't we set the labels' order arbitrarily? (now they are automatically sorted alphabetically).

blog Layer the web with Blerp!
May 2009
I really dig the concept - but after playing with it for a little I think that the whole thing is still too convoluted (lots of forms to fill in, popups etc.). Ideally, I'd just like to go to a website and start off the discussion, using their terminology, annotate it. Anyways, definitely worth having a go with Blerp, it's something that may develop further in the near future.
