Comment on Hot and Cool Media by Clint

Seems to me the Internet, with the power of the user to engage whenever they want, is both hot & cool (lukewaarm ?) On the Internet, the user can choose to participate (and make a hot medium cool) whenever they wish these days. For example, if I am scanning articles in GReader, it’s primarily hot, until I decide I want to engage and leave a comment, at which point the medium cools.

To me, this is consistent with McLuhan’s thinking, especially when you consider that media can be both hot and cool depending on context. The hot/cool distinction was never supposed to be applied in isolation, but a distinction to be used when comparing one type of media to another. Which is what makes McLuhan so damn beguiling, and the whole notion of hot vs cool an exercise in media studies frustration for me .

Comment on Pulling by Jon K.

I believe that text is easy, we’ve been dealing with it for 25 years on the web, and have figured out decent ways to pull it in and have figured out other ways to filter etc. Video, and whatever else that comes after that, is going to be another challenge – there’s not a way to pull videos into your browser/reader and to help filter that (yet). I really liked how you use the iPad for consolidating quotes and ideas, certainly made me interested in it as a real tool rather than an oversized iPod Touch and can see how that would be something that could be a game changer.

All this work that thousands of people do sounds a lot like Communism, and I often think of how essentially a good idea got a bad rap and fear that will happen to the web 2.0 stuff despite people’s best efforts to keep it free and accessible.

Thanks for your comments.

Definitely not pushing as much out in terms of blogging, but I definitely find myself sharing more and more stuff on Twitter, delicious, Evernote, etc explicitly motivated by the idea that others will pull it in, much as I do. I think that’s a big way that we add value to the network, but no doubt, you are right to think about the implications. Just for the record, I’m much more drawn to pulling in text since it’s easier to consume/skim/snip etc.

I took the publishers JavaScript course and it was quite good. It was nice to part of a community that understood how to use the different technologies (video streaming, chat, forums) as well as the step by step instruction. I know and use JavaScript quite a lot but this gave a an insight into how other learn as well as the technology being studied. It is also good as it is at your own pace. I too will be doing the CSS course and the PHP course which starts next week, to upgrade and hone my skills.
