Supervision Meeting 2008 04 22

I need to make available a list of potential activity data which could be used in the activity list, but were abandoned due to time constraints or technical difficulties. Playing of songs for instance seems to be dependant on crawling the entire Urort web site – something we don’t have the resources or time to implement.

Since I have focused more on a transparent prototyping technique this aspect should be discussed in the introductory chapter under motivation and focus. There seems to be some mention of it under objective, but this could be elaborated on. In addition it should probably be part of my research question. It’s partly found in one of my research questions, but I need to be more explicit.

In my mashup discussion I need to include more popular examples as for instance Google Maps mashed up with Craigs List in housingmaps.com. I should also draw more information from the article about Wikipedia and how it differs from traditional mashups.

My section with a heading of user generated content does not particularly speak about user generated content, but of collective intelligence. Change the heading and include user generated and user created content discussion in the social networking sites section.

Collective intelligence is more relevant as it can be used for navigation. I should mention critiques of this term as in collective stupidity and digital Maoism. I also need to use terms like this more in my discussion of social navigation techniques and implementations later in the background chapter.
