Posted on July 19, 2009July 5, 2021 by namho

“We get our Thursdays from a banana” is a quote from a presentation Clay Shirky made at Supernova. In the presentation he also mentions: the Isa Shrine in Japan, Perl, AT&T, community and love. It is also features one of his most famous quote: In the past, we did little things for love and big…

The World Bank and Web 2.0

Posted on September 10, 2008July 5, 2021 by namho

From the World Bank Flickr account Given the size, complexity and issues surrounding the World Bank (not to mention its impossible mandate of “Working for a World Free of Poverty”), it does surprise me how well it does things sometimes. Case in point: the World Bank has a Flickr account! It has over 1,400 photos,…

The Velocity of Web

Posted on July 1, 2008July 5, 2021 by namho

Last week I was one of 5 speakers invited to an in-house all-day training session at Design House, one of the most prominent design/living publishers in Korea. Design House publishes a variety of well-known Korea magazines titles which include "??? ??? ?" (Korean equivalent of Good Housekeeping), "Design", "Mom & Enfant", "Luxury" and most recently…

Twittering and the Future of Social Networking in Korea

Posted on June 19, 2008July 5, 2021 by namho

Ever since I moved to Seoul last year, I’ve begun to post to Twitter more regularly. It started as a means to stay in touch and update friends I left behind in the US. I expected people I know to follow my feed, however I really didn’t expect people I didn’t know to become followers….

The Point: Making Things Happen

Posted on May 7, 2008July 5, 2021 by namho

The Point is a simple website with a clear purpose: making things happen. The way they do it is helping users formulate a campaign statement for action with a clear goal. Users can then choose to participate in the campaign. When the goal is met (or “the point” is tipped), an email is sent to…

The Other Web2.0: Not Business As Usual

Posted on May 6, 2008July 5, 2021 by namho

Aside from a few companies such as Amazon, Google or Facebook, the value of Web2.0 for the business world is still unclear, and return on investment still seems murky at best. However for the non-profit world, the value of Web2.0 is clear – the more the users are empowered and congregate around interest that they…

Ask Your Lawmaker, Web2.0 Style

Posted on March 4, 2008July 5, 2021 by namho

As the elections in US heats up, I checked back on one of my last projects at Forum One, Ask Your Lawmaker (I was the lead information architect). It went live last November and it’s good to see it is finally gathering some steam. Ask Your Lawmaker is a site created by Capitol News Connection…

Here’s a re-posting of an article originally posted April 11, 2007, on the Forum One UX&D blog for the benefit of my Korean readers. * * * During the Nonprofit Technology Enterprise 2007 conference I went to a session with Charles Best of Donors Choose, which is a site that allows individual donors to fund…

Geospatial Info + 3D Space + Web 2.0 + Mobile = ?

Posted on January 10, 2008July 5, 2021 by namho

We all remember ooh’ed and aah’ed at Google Earth when it was first available in 2005. For the first time history, services such as Google Earth offer us a readily available, zoomable, navigable visualization of our physical world, the detail of which are ever increasing with new technologies being developed as showcased by Microsoft’s Virtual…

CARMA: Visualizing Carbon Emission Data

Posted on December 31, 2007July 5, 2021 by namho

CARMA (Carbon Monitoring for Action) is a project by the Center for Global Development that I was peripherally involved in at my old firm, Forum One Communications. It recently came online and tracks the CO2 output of carbon emitting sources around the world. (Carbon dioxide being one of the causes global warming) It attempts to…
