From a presentation called Overload, Shmoverload I gave (I think) at Etel, uploaded to Slideshare on 8 March 2007. This was based on the change in cognition that I predicted would arise from the use of tools like Twitter, Jaiku, and Facebook.

Flow Strategies:

• Time is a shared space 
• Productivity is second to Connection: network productivity trumps personal productivity
• Everything important will find it’s way to you many, many times: don’t worry if you miss it
• Remain in the flow: be wrapped up in the thing that has captured your attention

Increasingly, more sites are going with domain hacks.

Thanks to international top-level domains like .am, .ly, and others, a lot of words can be spelled out in an efficient use of space. But it’s not only domain-name shorteners like bit.ly and sn.ip, tr.im and sl.im using it. There are also gems like tra.sh, the musings and advice of a grizzled biker and combat veteran experienced in life and love.

• Samur.ai: Just a message rewarding you for typing in too many stupid domain names. Strangely satisfying after the hundredth GoDaddy holding page.
• dontclick.it: Can you resist clicking? Do you miss clicking?
• Inter.net: An international web host.
• Crescen.do: Some kind of bill-paying doo-hickey.

**River of IPv4 addresses officially runs dry*

In a ceremony in Miami this morning, the final five blocks of IPv4 addresses were given out to the five Regional Internet Registries that further distribute IP addresses to the far corners of the planet. The five RIRs still have tens of millions of addresses as working inventory, but once those addresses are given out, it’s over. Internet Protocol addresses are a prerequisite for all Internet communication—both the sender and the receiver need one. As such, additional addresses are necessary whenever new users are connected to the Internet.

Without access to more IP addresses, service providers are forced to have their customers share an address. For most types of communication, that’s a workable solution, but it makes it much harder for two end-users to communicate directly, such as when making a VoIP call, video chatting, or transferring files directly using an instant messaging program, or through a peer-to-peer filesharing system.
