The battle for the future of the social web
via FactoryCity by Chris Messina on May 22, 2008
When I was younger, I used to bring over my Super Nintendo games to my friends’ houses and we’d play for hours… that is, if they had an SNS console. If, for some reason, my friend had a Sega system, my games were useless and we had to play something like Sewer Shark.

via FactoryCity by (author unknown) on May 05, 2008
... contend that these are all questions that anyone with a modern web service is going to need to start dealing with sooner than later. It’s not really a matter of whether or not members will ever show up with some digital footprint of where they are, where they’ve been or where they’re going; it’s really only a matter of time.

När information säger mer än det är tänkt
via opassande by emma on May 18, 2008
Föreningen Snus som organiserar it-tekniker och nätverkskunniga, säger i ett remiss-svar angående datalagringsdirektivet, att det inte kommer att fungera så som det är tänkt.
