Smart Content Discovery – Bottlenose.com
I first came across Bottlenose some six months ago and loved the visual search known as Sonar. The team have been working hard and the latest beta update has some very impressive new features. I'm hoping in the coming months to see a tablet version, it does currently works as a webapp but it's a big laggy. Spread the word.

Goodbye Amplify
Well it finally arrived, my fair well email from +eric goldstein, CEO of Amplify. Here are a few reflections on the time I spent on this great platform dating back to late 2009.
I wandered into Amplify from experimenting with Ning. Engagement in Ning had been Ok, but I was missing depth of conversation, people didn’t seem to have time to hang around and so it came as welcome surprise to be greeted so warmly on arrival at Amplify. Continue Reading
Sifting through the data deluge
Great tips from +Meri Walker of +BeingSocial.Us – here's an extract:
"Spending less time on gaining information that is nice to know and more time on things that we need to know now.
Focusing on quality of information, rather than quantity. A short concise e-mail is more valuable than a long e-mail.
Learning how to create better information (this is what Infogineering is about). Be direct in what you ask people, so that they can provide short precise answers.
Single-tasking, and keeping the mind focused on one issue at a time.
Spending parts of the day disconnected from interruptions (e.g. switch off e-mail, telephones, Web, etc.) so you can fully concentrate for a significant period of time on one thing."
I'd also add curation to the list. Since my experience with Amplify, having a clipping tool or at least applying the principles of clipping, both via desktop or mobile, has allowed me to build me own library of useful content, that in essence is what my blog is, a depositary for my clippings and writings, tagged and sorted so I can find it again as and when required. I also recently setup a plugin that sends out an archived post once a day to twitter – being randomly reminded of my content helps to really cement it; reinforcement rocks.

The Power of Collective Intelligence
CI: A precursor of the concept is found in entomologist William Morton Wheeler's observation that seemingly independent individuals can cooperate so closely as to become indistinguishable from a single organism (1911). Wheeler saw this collaborative process at work in ants that acted like the cells of a single beast he called a "superorganism". ~ Wikipedia

Nowadays with the existing tools, identifying patterns requires spend a huge amount of time and monitoring as many available sources as possible.

Data Visualisation: Visual.ly is fun, fun, fun :)
Take a look at my Twitter comparison infographic http://bit.ly/rPGupk – it's me against my mate +Daniel Durrant – this took only a few clicks to create and is a demonstration of what's to come for those wanting to easily represent data in a stimulating way. This example is their showcase using Twitter, soon you'll be able to add you're own data.
*Note: By the way +Daniel Durrant, Visual.ly thinks you are more interesting than me, which makes me wonder if their algorithms are still being tuned ;-o

Reshared post from +Alex Schleber
Just FYI, Google+ Search appears to be picking up #hashtags placed in comments pretty reliably by now (might take about 30-60 minutes to index). I'll have to do more of these over time to see if it works every time.This can be used to find your own comments on interesting threads again, by typing "[hashtag] [your lastname]" into the search box.
Example search, the result was about 3-4 items down below some posts that were older:

Curation using a mobile drives me insane!
It cant be that difficult.. but it is! I just want to select a few lines of text, perhaps an image too and then add a couple of sentences in a comment, plus the link to the original content then share it… it's not rocket science!
