In this context, social web literacy is an example of implicit knowledge:

"From explicit knowledge to tacit knowledge. Here’s a paradox. Just at the time when more and more information is becoming available about more things, the driver of value creation is shifting from explicit knowledge – that which can be expressed abstractly and statistically – to implicit knowledge – that which drives our day to day practices but which we generally have a very difficult time expressing, much less quantifying. Why is this the case? Because knowledge tends to evolve over time. In its earliest stages, knowledge tends to have a much more significant tacit component….. But the most valuable knowledge is the knowledge that is in the early stages of emergence is generally the most difficult to express. And, once again, it is not just within the firm but distributed broadly outside the firm."

Via John Naughton:

"CNN changed the nature of politics and political reporting by compressing the time it took for something to happen, for it to become widely known, and for newsmakers and the public to react to it (i.e., the news cycle) to half a day—whereas the newspaper news cycle, from next-day publication to day-after reaction, was 48 hours, and network television’s news cycle, from one day’s evening news to the next day’s evening news, was 24 hours. Politico brings the news cycle down to about 15 or 20 minutes."

A blog about airport terminals – really interesting too…

"The figures are based only on American users, who make up around a third of the site's 200m users worldwide. However, they indicate that Facebook has grown by more than 70% in the last six months – adding more than 18m users over 35 in the process. This now means that a third of users are in this older age bracket, and the 35-54 year old group now constitutes Facebook's largest demographic."

"Scrivener is a word processor and project management tool created specifically for writers of long texts such as novels and research papers. It won't try to tell you how to write – it just makes all the tools you have scattered around your desk available in one application."
