Jason Kottke likes 808s and Heartbreak. He also says “everyone’s saying how good this album is.” This album is not good. Subtract the auto-tune and it might be, but I just can’t get past it. At all. Ever. No.

Jason Kottke points out that the "broken windows" theory of disorder applies just as well to the web as it does in real life. For those of you whow don't get the reference, he links to The Economist: The most dramatic result, though, was the one that showed a doubling in the number of people who were prepared to steal in a condition of disorder. In this case an envelope with a EUR5 ($6)...

The always excellent Jason Kottke has a post up that got me thinking about the “broken windows” theory and how it applies to online communities.

Jason Kottke ponders: Much of the tone of discourse online is governed by the level of moderation and to what extent people are encouraged to “own” their words. When forums, message boards, and blog comment threads with more than a handful of participants are unmoderated, bad behavior follows. The appearance of one troll encourages others. Undeleted hateful [...]

Now that the broken windows theory of crime has been experimentally validated - disorderly streets really do make people more likely to steal - Jason Kottke wonders if the theory also applies to online spaces: Much of the tone of discourse online is governed by the level of moderation and to what extent people are encouraged to "own" their words. When forums, message boards, and blog...
