The confounding photograph is the subject of an absorbing and thought-provoking exhibition at the Yale University Art Gallery here called “First Doubt: Optical Confusion in Modern Photography.” Organized by Joshua Chuang, the gallery’s assistant curator of photographs, the exhibition presents more than 100 pieces dating from the mid-19th century to the early 21st century. It was drawn mostly from the collection of Allan Chasanoff, who focused on acquiring confusing pictures, and is supplemented by photographs from the gallery’s collection.

LoveTweet!! is a real-time feed of tweets with love. The idea for it is almost as old as Twitter itself (from the Twttr days back in 2006). It lay dormant for a long time, in this case until the 2008 US presidential election. Many tweets at that time were about hope and positivity. And yes, love. Expressing a love of someone or something was at the heart of that original idea in '06. We all express love of many things and people on Twitter, not just hope and Obama, every minute of every day. The simple aim of LoveTweet is to show that flow. And if we can express love in 140 characters or less, there really is hope in this world!

The book ‘Sentient cities: ambient intelligence and the politics of urban space’ by Stephen Graham is a reflection on politics, locative media and ubiquitous computing. Where technology fuses itself into the background of daily life, all sorts of scenes (art-commercial- governmental etc) are utilizing new technologies and seeking combinations, weaving them into certain directions simultaneously. We are moving towards a society of enacted environments

Over the course of the industrial revolution, motors shrank in size and cost, disappearing inside household appliances and workplace tools to create new kinds of machines. Through a similar process, we are now embedding computers and telecommunications into our everyday context, making possible three innovative types of learning devices. Smart objects, with embedded microprocessors and wireless networking, explain their own functioning and help us create "articulate" educational environments that communicate with their inhabitants. Information infrastructures provide remote access to experts, interlinked archival resources, virtual communities, and "distributed" investigations involving many participants in different locations. Shared synthetic environments, by immersing us in illusion, help us develop a better understanding and appreciation of reality.

Unfriending online "friends" is emerging as the latest offense in the world of social networking. Sites such as Facebook and MySpace allow people to build personal profiles with photos, videos and up-to-the-minute updates about their lives, then to share them with select users, or "friends." The process has even turned the word "friend" into a verb, as in, "so-and-so just friended me on Facebook." Users agonize over whom to friend (your mom? your ex-boyfriend? your boss?), and worry about whether their friend requests will be accepted or ignored, lingering in cyberspace in what some dub "friend purgatory."

For those of you who don't know, Zigtag is another entry in the social bookmarking collection of tools. Like delicious, Diigo, and Ma.gnolia, Zigtag helps you categorize your bookmarks and share them with others. When Zigtag went into development, bookmarking was all the rage. The company's goal was to make bookmarking easier by adding a layer of semantics to the tags themselves. Zigtag, you see, understands the meaning of the words you assign to a tag. When you tag to a page, Zigtag actually assigns it meaning rather than just a simple word. If that sounds revolutionary...well, that's because it is.

During 2008, we’ve tried to bring you the best how-tos for achieving more with social media tools: everything from Google products to blogging to online video to productivity and beyond. Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Friendfeed, and Delicious all got the How-To treatment. Today, as the year draws to a close, we bring you a hand-picked selection of Mashable’s social media How-To articles in 2008; some holiday reading, perhaps, or something to refer back to once you restart the daily grind in 2009.

This is a small web app that uses new Flickr API methods to show where in the world photos have been taken. It will show photos with a particular tag, or, if you authenticate, photos from your friends, contacts, or yourself. The size of the circle on any given place indicates how many photos were taken there. You can click on a circle to see photos taken in that area, or zoom in if there are lots of overlapping areas.

For this list, we've compiled the most truly life-altering nuggets of brilliance to hit center stage in 2008: the ideas, products and enhancements to the web experience so huge that they make us wonder how we got along without them.
