    Much as I loathe the whole ghastly "frictionless sharing" thing, some useful thoughts/pointers by @currybet tinyurl.com/6rvnqx7

    @ppetej frictionless sharing is interesting I think for academics - it certainly shaped the way I wrote my last book

    @mweller Your "foraging" of others' bookmarks, blogs etc? Aren't they (up to now) mostly result of (relatively) "conscious"/active sharing?

    @ppetej eg. when I was writing ppl would add cc @mweller to tweets on relevant topics, because it doesn't cost them much

    ppetej@ppetej
    @mweller Oh, yes, but that is a very active/conscious share on their part. It's easy to do, but it still requires a decision by the sharer

    Martin Weller@mweller
    @ppetej yes, but the cost is _near_ frictionless. And tools like scoop.it, tumblr etc removes much of the friction - makes it a diff beast

    @ppetej @mweller Moving to an age of personal PR machines and RTs over churnalism...

    @mweller @ppetej is that folk are building "collections" that is valuable, and as you skim the chaff you spot what for you may be the wheat?

  11. ppetej
    ppetej@ppetej
    @mweller Yes, agreed, but I see a difference between that & recent Fb "frictionless" developments, where "action" is a one-off opt-in....
    Thu, Jan 05 2012 02:39:25
  12. ppetej
    ppetej@ppetej
    @mweller ... of which consequences may be unclear
    Thu, Jan 05 2012 02:39:43
  13. mweller
    Martin Weller@mweller
    @ppetej ok, so I think we're talking about diff interpretations of frictionless then, I'm using it in non-tool specific way

    @psychemedia @ppetej the democracy angle is interesting - before I'd need to know WorldExpert X to get at their reading list, now we all can
    Thu, Jan 05 2012 02:43:02
  15. ppetej
    ppetej@ppetej
    @mweller Right. It's the recent Fb "frictionlessness" that worries me, which I think differs from yr use e.g. here tinyurl.com/5qjcmn
    Thu, Jan 05 2012 02:43:11
  16. mweller
    Martin Weller@mweller
    @ppetej yes, in that case - I agree! As you were.

    ppetej@ppetej
    @psychemedia @mweller And what we think is our "personal PR" may be the result of what an FB algorithm selects for yr timeline :)

    @ppetej @mweller Right.. there is:a) the decision to share, b) maybe w/ a cc, c) on a particular network; then there may also be d) an..

    ppetej@ppetej
    @psychemedia @mweller Good stuff. I'm also interested in how we risk projecting (mis)interpret ations of acts of "liking"/"favouriting" etc.

    ppetej@ppetej
    @psychemedia @mweller e.g. Pretty sure Stan Collymore didn't like the Tweets he "favourited" to highlight abuse

    Tony Hirst@psychemedia
    @ppetej @mweller Right... the updates are speech acts of a sort but we lose the semantics/tone relating to sense in which they're uttered?
    Thu, Jan 05 2012 03:02:54
  22. psychemedia
    Tony Hirst@psychemedia
    @ppetej @mweller I often assume the sense is: "Seen this?", or "I bring this to your attention"; emoticons also useful in deciphering tone
    Thu, Jan 05 2012 03:04:04
  23. ppetej
    ppetej@ppetej
    @psychemedia @mweller Yes, indeed. Or may be just "link to read later"! So need good deal of care before using them as "impact measures"
    Thu, Jan 05 2012 03:08:27
  24. psychemedia
    Tony Hirst@psychemedia
    @ppetej @mweller I so don't know what impact is! I'm currently pondering bit.ly/rE18YV then follow apitricks link in this respect

    @ppetej @mweller important thing about that example i found the linked resource recently and thought it was a powerful trick; then ..
