“Author Neil Gaiman said in an interview this week that the media industry is trying to “put genies back in bottles” with laws like SOPA and PIPA, and that the internet has fundamentally changed the landscape, just as Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press did. ” — My Comments : A post based on my interview with graphic novelist Neil Gaiman: http://bit.ly/AcXN8V
“The news that Twitter will be censoring tweets has reinforced for many the fact that our freedoms exist at the mercy of the companies whose networks we are using — and being used by. How much trust should we have in these new information gatekeepers? ” — My Comments : http://bit.ly/wANLRA
“Twitter says it has implemented a new system that will allow it to remove tweets from specific countries if required to do so by law, but that it will try hard not to do this, and will be as transparent as possible if it does. ” — My Comments : http://bit.ly/wN9Iwx
“Too many media giants are happy to have a little disruption, provided it doesn’t change the supply-demand equation they have always relied on. But the reality is that this equation has already been blown to smithereens, and they had better figure out how to adapt. ” — My Comments : http://bit.ly/yyImPQ
“Is Google’s new privacy policy another sign it has broken its promise and is becoming more evil? Or is the fuss over the new version — which will allow the search giant to share data among its various services — a tempest in a privacy teapot? ” — My Comments : http://bit.ly/zMw2FK
“The back-and-forth between Google and Twitter over Google’s new social-search results is only the latest manifestation of a much deeper problem with the relationship between the two former partners. The reality is that both sides need each other more than they would probably like to admit. ” — My Comments : http://bit.ly/zCslsr
“There’s been a lot of journalistic finger-wagging over a student website that filed an erroneous report on the weekend saying Penn State coach Joe Paterno had died. But that student site behaved better than some other traditional news sources, both before and after the report. ” — My Comments : http://bit.ly/w1I0tY
“A team of developers led by Facebook’s Blake Ross has launched a browser plugin called “Don’t be evil” that they claim presents Google’s search more fairly — but is this a war that Facebook can win, or just a chance to make cheap PR points against Google? ” — My Comments : http://bit.ly/xy6cZt
