RSS Monetization? The Game Has Changed; Same Rules May Not Apply
Jeff Jarvis reports about the hot issue of RSS "monetization" and business potential sparked off by last Thursday live online event at RSS Weekly. Photo credit: Constanten Schneider (22) Kyiv, Ukraine I must thank Jeff, and probably the other special guests who sparked this conversation online last week, for offering me this little opportunity to speak my mind, a tiny little bit, on this very important topic.

From the AP: Washington — The Bush administration is offering a novel reason for denying a request seeking the Justice Department's database on foreign lobbyists: Copying the information would bring down the computer system. "Implementing such a request risks a crash that cannot be fixed and could result in a major loss of data, which would be devastating," wrote Thomas J.

Too many collaboration technology implementations are led by a knowledge management team that may have reversed the order of those two priorities." [thanks

Scalable vector graphics and animation are two of the hallmark features of Macromedia's nearly ubiquitous multimedia player. Yet the company has done a poor job of creating -- or convincing third-party developers to create -- components that make it routine for people to work with spatial and temporal data.

Peers of the Stall
When I was nine years old I changed schools. In my old school kids picked on my classmates and me because we spoke French; in my new school kids picked on my classmates and me because we were "gifted." So, I pretty much felt at home right away. Like most nine-year-olds, peeing wasn't something I devoted a lot of thought to. I had avoided wetting my pants for a dog's age, and the issue simply didn't warrant much consideration beyond that. Over the years my shooting accuracy improved somewhat, but the basic mechanics had already been mastered. Peeing was old hat. Until. From

Rewind history a quarter century, to the early '80s. What we now call IT was still called MIS. Outside corporate walls, personal computing was an interesting hobby.
