Add Annotations to Any Paragraph: Enable the Feedback by Paragraph Plugin
First I happened to see a post in the Chinese WordPress forum mentioning a feature of Yeeyan (this site seems pretty good): marginal annotations. You can add notes to every paragraph in an article, and registered members can very conveniently discuss specific paragraphs. For a translation community like this, such a feature is simply a brilliant design. I was instantly drawn to this feature. I was trying to build an academic blog for the Web 2.0 era, and the most basic effect this kind of academic model hopes to achieve is: “infinite margins” — the blank space at the side of the page, or rather the space for communication, will…

[Reprint] One Against a Hundred—Those Internet Companies with Few Employees and Many Users
A Hundred to One — Internet Companies with Few Employees but Many Users by Kage, posted Sunday, 2011/02/13 – 09:33 News and Information Internet The existence of the internet gives small-scale companies the opportunity to reach users around the world. The result of this is that some companies or organizations have users in the tens of millions, while in fact they have only a few hundred employees, or even fewer. It is estimated that the companies below each have more than ten million users. Automattic Employees: 72 Users: more than 32 million WordPress blogs worldwide at present Automattic is known as the company behind the open-source blogging software WordPress (WordPress.org)…

A Talk on “Copyright” in the Internet Age

AI & the Future of Technology2011.02.08
A Talk on “Copyright” in the Internet Age
VeryCD has been transformed, and its music channel no longer provides download links. Why? Because of “copyright.” Obviously, “copyright” is the most typical concept of the print age. So what is the significance of copyright in the Internet age? I recently added a copyright notice to the new version of my blog, so let me take this opportunity to offer a bit more explanation here. The rise of the Internet and digital technology has made copyright issues increasingly prominent, and the “protection” of copyright increasingly difficult. The copying and dissemination of works has become far more convenient; once a work has been released, it is extremely hard to keep control…

Writing in the Internet Age—A Brief Discussion of the Intentional Structure of Electronic Media

Writing in the Internet Age—A Brief Discussion of the Intentional Structure of Electronic Media
The new blog had been tinkered with for so long that it has finally come to a temporary rest, and I should also write something more serious to explain myself. But this so-called serious writing is not yet that paper I have kept putting off; I’ll deal with that paper properly after the New Year. For now, following the context of tidying up the blog, let me talk about some thoughts on the “network age.” The last class of Wu’s seminar last semester happened to touch on communication in the network age, and I happened to pick up this thread and speak from there. The issue of communication in the…

Plugins Currently in Use on the Blog (Updated 11-11-20)
I’ve been tinkering with the new blog for several weeks now, and I still haven’t even gotten around to writing new posts; I’ve been pouring all my energy into debugging the technical environment. WordPress really is a great thing. It’s very easy to get started with, yet it also offers endless room for development—if you know nothing at all, you can install it in two minutes and start writing entries right away; then you can begin changing themes, installing plugins, modifying CSS styles, editing php code, and so on, going deeper and deeper, with unlimited room to fuss around. Of course, no matter what, content is always the main thing,…

Categories in the Internet Age and Hypertext Scholarship
WordPress-based blogs have countless advantages: backup functionality, easy maintenance, a wide range of mode choices, and abundant room for expansion. Apart from the legendary drawback that they seem to consume comparatively more server resources, they are really beyond criticism. For me, apart from the crucial ability to be backed up, WordPress also offers another crucial revolution compared with the Yaiku blog: namely, a revolution in the way categories are arranged. This revolution looks trivial at first glance: it is simply a shift from the original linear, segmented model to a many-to-many correspondence. In other words, on Yaiku, each post belongs to, and belongs only to, one folder, whereas under the…

Has the Development of the Internet Done More Harm Than Good to Literature?
Recently my blog updates have nearly ground to a halt; next time I should make a point of reflecting on that. This time I’ll just casually write down the associations sparked by this title, and try to recover my feel for writing~ This title is one of the debate topics in the freshman cup debate contest that our department’s undergraduates will be taking part in this time, and I, in my role as “adviser,” was also honored to be consulted, so I suppose I should at least give some kind of answer. Seeing this topic, I first thought of a few articles I wrote before. One of them was a…

[Witness] A Rectification Campaign on the Chinese Internet: Lists of Websites Exposed in the Nationwide Crackdown on the Vulgar Trend on the Internet (Batches 1 through 9)

[Witness] A Rectification Campaign on the Chinese Internet: Lists of Websites Exposed in the Nationwide Crackdown on the Vulgar Trend on the Internet (Batches 1 through 9)
Rant: 1. Just tell me which website isn’t vulgar, will you… 2. Any site that can make it onto this list is a great website! 3. Ycool is listed only in the seventh batch; looks like its influence is still rather weak. 4. For decades, the mindset of “rectification campaigns” has still refused to die. 5. Governance requires guidance and channeling, not sealing things off. 6. A “ban” must be carried out in the name of law, not in the name of morality. Even if you hypocritically hold high the banner of law, that would be preferable; but in the name of morality, while hardly speaking of legal principles at…

“The Philosophy of Online Games”

Philosophy & Thought2008.12.09
“The Philosophy of Online Games”
For a philosophy to spread widely and be remembered by later generations, a distinctive and resounding name may well be of some help. What could my philosophy be called by others? Terms like critical philosophy, philosophy of technology, philosophy of history, and pluralism have already been overused; things like philosophy of the stars and philosophy of media also seem insufficiently precise. Suddenly it occurs to me that perhaps it could be called “network game philosophy.” The two words “network” and “game” can indicate the distinctive features and central concerns of my philosophy. Under this heading, almost all the questions of traditional philosophy—ontology, epistemology, axiology, and so on—can be developed. Moreover,…
