Peter Morville "Ambient Findability"
May 11 2006, 6-9pm
MIT Faculty Club, 50 Memorial Drive (Building E52),
Cambridge, MA

On Ambient Findability: "At the crossroads of
ubiquitous computing and
the Internet, the user experience is out of control, and
findability
is the real story. Access changes the game. We can select
our sources
and choose our news. We can find who and what we need, when
and where
we want. As society shifts from push to pull, findability
shapes who
we trust, how we learn, and where we go. In this cyberspace
safari,
Peter Morville explores the future present in search
algorithms,
embedded metadata, ontologies, folksonomies, mobile devices,
findable
objects, evolutionary psychology, and the long tail of the
sociosemantic web."

Registration available soon!
