I also liked the video. Just wanted to add a pointer to Frappr, which works
based on Google maps and does something similar for you automatically. I've
toyed around with Frappr for the myExperiment portal

Given that I haven't heard any complaints/inaccuracies in the video to date,
I went ahead and posted it on the front page.

Again, I can pretty easily remake the video should anyone find an error.

(I don't know how to implement Ilya's suggestion of zooming our more during
flights unfortunately but it is a good one.)

Cool!  Though I wish it zoomed out a bit more during "flights" between 
locations so it would be easier to see where are you heading.
Lets put this video on the front page?

A project that is similar in spirit to OpenWetWare but focused on
visualization: http://www.jove.com/

>From http://www.jove.com/index/About.stp:
"Visual instructions are also less prone to misinterpretations of ?how
to do the experiment?, as compared to written ?protocols?.
...
There is no fee for authors to publish their video articles. Also,
video-articles published in JoVE will be freely available to the
scientific community."

I think there may be a potential for collaboration.

Some Thoughts on Social Tagging
HCI Seminar Series Spring 2007
Speaker: Marti Hearst
Speaker Affiliation: School of Information, UC Berkeley
Host: Rob Miller
Host Affiliation: MIT CSAIL

Date: 4-20-2007
Time: 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
Refreshments: 1:15 PM
Location: Star Seminar Room (D463)

>From blogging to human-response search engines to local recommendation
sites to powerpoint slide sharing sites, social media is booming in
popularity.  One important aspect of this phenomenon, which occurs across
many different types of social media, is social tagging, or
"folksonomies".  In social tagging, users assign short, usually atomic
category names to shared resources, such as photos or web pages.  The
tagging method is powerful as it requires little effort on the part of the
user to tag, but can lead to what some consider a disorganized
mess as tags are generally not drawn from a well thought-out vocabulary
system.

There has as yet not been much academic work on this rapidly emerging
phenomenon.  In this talk I will discuss work in progress on the topic of
social tagging.  I plan to cover these topics:
- A discussion of the relationship between faceted metadata and tags
- Some research issues on social tagging for search
- A discussion of some qualitative work I've done on tag clouds

Bio:
Dr. Marti Hearst is an associate professor in the School of Information at
UC Berkeley, with an affiliate appointment in the Computer Science
Division.  Her primary research interests are user interfaces and
visualization for search engines, computational linguistics, and empirical
analysis of social media.

She received BA, MS, and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the University
of California at Berkeley, and she was a Member of the Research Staff at
Xerox PARC from 1994 to 1997. Prof. Hearst is on the editorial boards of ACM
Transactions on the Web and ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction
and was formerly on the boards of Computational Linguistics, ACM
Transactions on Information Systems, and IEEE Intelligent Systems, and was
the program co-chair of HLT-NAACL '03 and SIGIR '99. She has received an NSF
CAREER award, an IBM Faculty Award, an Okawa Foundation Fellowship, and two
student-initiated Excellence in Teaching awards.

Will Bioterror Fears Spawn Science Censorship?
04.25.07 | 2:00 AM

http://www.wired.com/politics/onlinerights/commentary/circuitcourt/ 
2007/04/circuitcourt_0425

Since September 11th, people have been increasingly worried about the  
misuse of legitimate scientific research to create dangerous weapons  
or to bypass security measures. Now a federal advisory board is about  
to recommend new guidelines to limit publication of life-sciences  
research that could be misused by terrorists. I think it's treading  
on dangerous ground.

Last Thursday, a draft of the rules was formally adopted by the  
National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, or NSABB, at a  
meeting in Bethesda, Maryland. The draft proposes voluntary  
compliance by scientists, universities and journals, but leaves open  
the possibility of federal legislation to turn the guidelines into  
law. Indeed, it almost invites that result by supporting application  
of the NSABB recommendations to researchers that do not receive  
federal funds -- a result that can only be achieved through  
regulation.... (continues).
