Algorithmic authority is the decision to regard as authoritative an unmanaged process of extracting value from diverse, untrustworthy sources, without any human standing beside the result saying “Trust this because you trust me.” This model of authority differs from personal or institutional authority, and has, I think, three critical characteristics.

One group of companies assume that some people know they can’t help themselves, and therefore want a service to automatically disable their cellphone when it is in a moving car.

In two recent posts (Typepad Goes After Tumblr, A Call For Interoperable Tumbling: Tumbleback) I explored the idea of cross-platform tumbling.
In particular, I suggested a construct I called 'tumblebacks' as part of reblogging, based on an analogy with trackbacks. But I left out the issue of cross-platform [...]

The industrial influence in business management and theory is profound. In essence, for the past hundred years business has been objectified as a machine, divided into various components, like a clock or an electric generator.
