Understanding the Crowd Part II: You Must Think Like a Thief
2009-03-26 01:00:00 At the end of my last blog entitled Understanding the Crowd: To Catch a Thief (Part I) posted on March 23rd, I referred to a formula that Amrit Williams and I have created for assessing the likelihood of a given method of security attack’s launch over the Internet and the relative probability that an exploit will occur.
Understanding the Crowd: To Catch a Thief (Part I)
2009-03-23 01:00:00 Last week, Amrit Williams and I presented the results of our research paper at SOURCE Conference that we’ve been working on and thinking about for over a decade now. It started when I did Malware research at a previous company, and watching the ebb and flow of malware (and the related FUD). This reminded me of watching the tide rise on a shore, or perhaps a slightly more intelligent phenomenon like the movement of a flock of birds or a school of fish. We’ve all seen flocks of birds, and the sudden changes come about that cause a curtain-like ripple throughout the flock. I couldn’t escape the feeling that there was a pattern here among the samples that could be both modeled and predicted.
Lost in the Crowd--By David Brooks
2008-12-17 08:15:00 from the New York Times--December 16, 2008--http://www.nytimes.com/20-08/12/16/opinion/16brooks.htmlA-ll day long, you are affected by large forces. Genes influence your intelligence and willingness to take risks. Social dynamics unconsciously shape your choices. Instantaneous perceptions set off neural reactions in your head without you even being aware of them.Over the past few years, scientists have made a series of exciting discoveries about how these deep patterns influence daily life. Nobody has done more to bring these discoveries to public attention than Malcolm Gladwell.Gladwell’s important new book, “Outliers,” seems at first glance to be a description of exceptionally talented individuals. But in fact, it’s another book about deep patterns. Exceptionally successful people are not lone pioneers who created their own success, he argues. They are the lucky beneficiaries of social arrangements.As Gladwell told Jason Zengerle of New York magazine: “The book’s saying,...

Aussie Startups: Standing out from the crowd? (Brad Howarth)
2008-02-20 02:26:00 Brad Howarth writes for Australian Anthill on how to stand out from the crowd - for the right and wrong reasons - when pitching in the US: "Part of my job is to listen to the stories people who have built technologies and companies, and then translate those to be understood by the people who read the publications and websites I write for.It's something I've already done a lot of, having chosen to partly specialise in writing about Australian entrepreneurial start-ups. At times it is a gruelling task. Why? Few Australian start-ups have any idea about how to actually explain what they do - let alone the capacity to do so in a way that is relevant to the listener.Entrepreneurs tend to gloss over the communication component of building a company, focusing instead on perfecting the technology and building the business. But what hope do you have of receiving assistance - from investors, partners, customers or even the media - if you can't articulate what makes you special, unique and r...

can the crowd replace the expert?
2008-01-19 18:49:00 Researchers at UCLA appear to have come up with an interesting cure to the problem iPod created by turning everyone a DJ. It’s a become a common issue at parties, the musical taste of the host is not shared by the party goers, this leads to angst and ends up with guests connecting their own iPods to try and take musical control, chaos ensues and the party rapidly turns into a disaster. UCLA’s Smart Party uses Wi-Fi to poll the tastes of the people attending the party and creates a play list based on those tastes. It’s an example of a solution to the emerging challenge to encourage and facilitate crowd collaboration in appropriate situations. The party example is good because there is no often no talent gap between the host and party attendees concerning music. The iPod hasn’t put expert DJs out of business, but in situations where they aren’t around, it has made everyone believe they are one. Smart Party facilitates democracy, it allows everyone’s...

Joining Others and Following the Crowd (kinda)
2007-11-04 03:06:00 As though I didn't have enough to do, I've decided to do something that may be fun. I've joined the NaBloPoMo '07 bloggers. What in the world?? you ask? Well, basically it's this. I write something everyday for the month of November. Since I pretty much do this anyway, I didn't think it would be too much of a big deal. What that means though, is that my Sunday Song Recommendations will have to come alongside other interesting written words. And I won't be able to do Wordless Wednesdays without doing Word filled Wednesdays too (I don't know if there's actually a Word Filled Wednesday thing or not, but I will have to do it whether there is or not.) :) I think I can do it, so long as you have patience with me, when it seems that maybe I'm writing just to be writing. I've also done that on occasion, as you know, so perhaps, it won't be an issue. I think my biggest challenge will be when I go to Oregon at the end of the month and trying to come up with something to ...
