With Facebook unveiling an integrated messaging system for its more than 500 million users, I decided to update a few charts that breakdown its users by region. I. Percentage share of active users (weekly): note the steady rise in the share of users from Asia. II. Market Penetration: Less than 3% penetration in Facebook’s high-growth regions in Asia & Africa. III. Percent Share of each Age Group (
Since the first-ever Mechanical Turk meetup a year ago, there has been an explosion in crowdsourcing services and a well-attended conference in San Francisco. I remain enthusiastic about crowdsourcing, but the number of companies has me worried about quality of work. Fortunately specialization is already occurring, so for particular tasks there are companies out there ready to provide high-quality
The battle for the Internet Economy Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle discuss "points of control." Battles are brewing for the Internet’s points of control: search, location, identity, commerce and more. How these battles play out and who emerges victorious will shape virtually everything and everyone involved in the Internet Economy. Tim O’Reilly and John Battelle examined the people, organizations,
Tim Berners-Lee on Data.gov.uk, open linked data and open standards Gov 2.0 Expo Keynote Video and Exclusive Interview Can you explain open linked data using a bag of chips?

State of the Internet Operating System Part Two: Handicapping the Internet Platform Wars This post is Part Two of my State of the Internet Operating System. If you haven’t read Part One, you should do so before reading this piece. As I wrote last month, it is becoming increasingly clear that the internet is becoming not just a platform, but an operating system, an operating system that manages acc
I’ve been talking for years about “the internet operating system“, but I realized I’ve never written an extended post to define what I think it is, where it is going, and the choices we face. This is that missing post. Here you will see the underlying beliefs about the future that are guiding my publishing program as well as the rationale behind conferences I organize like the Web 2.0 Summit and W
Five reasons iPhone vs Android isn't Mac vs Windows Competitive lessons from the PC era don't always apply to mobile Last week I presented at Stanford Graduate School of Business in a session on Mobile Computing called, “Creating Mobile Experiences: It’s the Platform, Stupid.” As the title underscores, I am a big believer that to understand what makes mobile tick, you really need to look beyond a
The myth of personal empowerment takes root amidst a massive loss of personal control. Social technologies are cloaked in a rhetoric of liberation (customers are in control, the internet fosters democracy, social technologies propagate truth etc.) that tend to obscure the fact that never before have we handed so much personal information over in exchange for so little in return.

Last night, Dolores Labs hosted what was billed as the first-ever Mechanical Turk meetup, and I was fortunate enough to have been able to squeeze into what turned out to be a great series of presentations. While Amazon was the pioneer and remains the largest provider in the space, other services like Dolores Labs and Nathan Eagle’s txteagle have emerged to expand the pool of users and turks. In th
This is the latest of a series of posts addressing questions regarding social technologies. Previous posts: The Evangelist Fallacy, Captivity of the Commons and The Digital Panopticon. These topics will be opened to live discussion in an upcoming webcast on May 27 with a special guest to be announced. In order to control a thing you must first classify a thing — and we are seeing a massive classif
A few weeks ago, DoubleClick published a report entitled Ten Years of Online Advertising(PDF). It has some interesting stats on the growth of internet advertising over the past decade, and some keen observations about the current internet advertising landscape.
