Curation, when thought of in the context of sharing isolated bits in feed-like architectures, is predominantly about entertainment, not utility. It’s not wrong to say there is a market for this curation. What people miss is that it's already captured by Twitter, Insta, and TikTok

The solution is better search and better curation, wrapped in a better business model - a combination I call boutique search engines.  Searchable, curated interfaces will help us move away from ephemeral, linear feeds, into contextual, high signal, trustworthy knowledge spaces.

Innovation in search and a new way to look at curation and content

Terrifying and hilarious all at once.

It's out! Geographies of Digital Exclusion. My new open-access book with @dekstop. Data and algorithms shape how we perceive and move through space. Inequalities and exclusions within digital datasets therefore fundamentally influence our lived and experienced geographies.

This doesn’t mean that more equitable futures aren’t possible. By outlining the mechanisms through which our digital and material worlds intersect, the book concludes with a vision of what alternative digital geographies might look like.
