In Defense of Distraction

Just finish a great piece on attention on the NY MAG. You can read it here.

Just a quick extract :

Back in 1971, when the web was still twenty years off and the smallest computers were the size of delivery vans, before the founders of Google had even managed to get themselves born, the polymath economist Herbert A. Simon wrote maybe the most concise possible description of our modern struggle: “What information consumes is rather obvious: It consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention, and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.” As beneficiaries of the greatest information boom in the history of the world, we are suffering, by Simon’s logic, a correspondingly serious poverty of attention.

Freakomendation - Criteo

leafar — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 09:46:07 +0000

A freakomendation is a recommendation that has failed. This one for Criteo retargeting seems to enter in that category. It’s in french but the freak part comes from the fact that there is no real connection between the retargeting destination and the place where it is exposed. Furthermore I will say that the title of the blog seems like a pun to me regarding that ad (contre bande).

Freakomendation

leafar — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 21:15:35 +0000

Freakomendation is an idea from Paul Lamere (Sun). It’s a serie of post on his blog where he post about strange recommendation. For anyone who works in this field it’s both funny and very interesting. I wanted to start my own list and help add some new freakomendation.

So I will start will with a simple one from amazon, where amazon recommend me a book in a special edition because i bought the same book in the normal edition.
