      txt: WordPress.com and Windows Live partnering together and providing an upgrade for 30 million Windows Live Spaces customers

       

      As we looked at customers’ blogging needs and what different companies were providing, we were particularly interested in what WordPress.com is doing. They have a host of impressive capabilities – from a scalable platform and leading spam protection, to great personalization and customization. WordPress powers over 8.5% of the web, is used on over 26 million sites, and WordPress.com is seen by over 250 million people every month. Not only that, Automattic is a company filled with great people focused on improving blogging experiences. So rather than having Windows Live invest in a competing blogging service, we decided the best thing we could do for our customers was to give them a great blogging solution through WordPress.com.

      txt: Big change in the tech world - Dave Winer www.scripting.com
      Think about how you're treated by airlines. By insurance companies. If you have to go to a hospital. That's the kind of relationship you have with Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, etc. Sooner or later there will be a massive oil spill or a massive network-wide security breach. Expect these companies to be every bit as bad as the ones in other industries. Probably worse because they've come so far without much oversight or scrutiny. Recently Google was given permission to trade energy. Who are these companies? We have no idea. If you want to know what you can do, great -- there are things you can do. Buy your own services and put your content in places where you are treated like a customer with rights that are respected. That's still possible. In many industries it's no longer possible, but you can get that kind of service on the Internet now, but you have to pay for it.

      txt: Why Brands are Becoming Media - mashable.com
      There’s a saying in theater: A big part of acting is reacting. This is especially true when we consider how many individuals, brands, and organizations engage on the web today. Instead of seeking inspiration and direction from those around us however, we simply react to activity, which may or may not benefit us in the long run. The democratization of publishing and the equalization of influence allows us to create and connect with a wider reach. Everything starts with a mission, and is fortified by the content we create. Among the most valuable resources we procure through dedicated publishing is good will, social capital, and influence. It comes at a price however: The cost of production, distribution, and support. In the end, you get out what you put in. The investment represents time, money, creativity, and passion. Thus, we not only become our media — through production and engagement, we can become influential.

      txt: Reinventing Journalism On The Web: Links As News, Links As Reporting - publishing2.com
      Robert Niles at Online Journalism Review has a practical guide to linking on the web, where he observes: "Ultimately, the addition of useful hyperlinking within an online news story reflects the strong reporting of its author. If a reporter does not know of online pages with extra information relating to the story, he or she cannot link to them. But if you have that information, why not share it with those readers who are eager for it?" Again, I would take this a step further — links aren’t just a fundamental element of the reporting. Links can BE the reporting.

      via: Art To Go via2: Anna Conti's Working Artist's Journal txt: comments on video "Creature Comforts USA - Art"
      estherfull (21 hours ago) OMG loved this, my whole art class watched this during class and we couldnt stop laughing!!!! Especially the dog who does print because our last project was on making woodcuts and printing. juliejuliex2 (2 weeks ago) obviously, some of you dont know that these are answers to questions that have been asked to your normal average "joe" on the streets of Wherever USA. Or wherever in the world. So, just enjoy the humor and giggle a little...it's better than a frown. besides, smiling uses just 8 or so muscles whereas frowning uses like 25 muscles in your face. so some of you must be getting a good workout

      txt: The Free Market: A False Idol After All?
      For more than a quarter-century, the dominant idea guiding economic policy in the United States and much of the globe has been that the market is unfailingly wise. So wise that the proper role for government is to steer clear and not mess with the gusher of wealth that will flow, trickling down to the every level of society, if only the market is left to do its magic.

      txt: The death of the cultural elite - blogs.guardian.co.uk
      The Oxford report, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, delineates four groups: univores, who like popular culture; omnivores, who like everything from Posh Spice to Puccini; paucivores, who absorb little culture; and inactives, who absorb none (is that possible?). There aren't enough ageing judges to justify a separate group of artivores.

      txt: The Colour of Money - www.frieze.com
      But what about the artists who effectively harness the commercial forces of our cultural moment, which Saltz and his editors at New York find so distasteful? Their post-Warholian impact on the current artistic landscape cannot be dismissed with simplistic ethical arguments: money is bad, so art tainted by it is also bad. The fact is that there is no way to escape the market: it absorbs subversion and packages dissent, selling us an image of ourselves as conscientious objectors even when we are deeply entrenched in its system.
