One of the greatest challenges facing people who use large information spaces is to remember and retrieve items that they have previously found and thought to be interesting. One approach to this problem is to allow individuals to save particular search strings to re-create the search in the future. Another approach has been to allow people to create personal collections of material. Collections of citations can be created manually by readers or through execution of (and alerting to) a saved search.Social Computing2005年12月16日 09:53:16 GMTDavid Millen, Jonathan Feinberg, Bernard Kerr1105676People in Our Software: A person-centric approach could make software come alive, but at what cost?

A person-centric approach could make software come alive, but at what cost?</h4>
<p>
People are not well represented in today’s software. With the exception
of IM (instant messaging) clients, today’s applications offer few clues
that people are actually living beings. Static strings depict things associated
with people like e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and home-page URLs. Applications
also tend to show the same information about a person, no matter who is viewing
it. </p><p>
This information does not change, at least not very rapidly. If your only exposure
to people were through these strings, you would have little reason to believe
that people actually move about in physical and virtual space and do things.</p>Social Computing2004年2月24日 11:44:57 GMTJohn Richards, Jim Christensen971596
