This is a video of a talk that Lawrence Lessig (Professor, Stanford Law School) gave for an unnamed organization. In his talk, Lessig provides a powerful and piercing analysis on the impact that legal restrictions on the re/use of media resources has on creativity and cultural production. During his talk, Lessig shows some remarkably creative mash-up videos on YouTube to exemplify the kind of creativity/cultural production that is possible through ubiquitous digital media, yet is considered copyright violation, for example, in the eyes of Warner Brothers Music Group. Ironically, the organization that hosted the talk received a notice from Warner Bros Music after posting a video of the Lessig's talk on YouTube, which, according to Lessig's blog, "objected to its being posted on copyright grounds." Warner Brother Music Group has implemented content-id algorithms (i.e., technology that detects the digital "fingerprint" of corporate-"owned" copyrighted works) through media hosting services, including YouTube, FaceBook, and others. When the video of Lessig's talk was posted, it was 'dusted' for fingerprints of WBMG copyrighted works. The detection system identified the soundtracks in the YouTube videos Lessig showed, as materials to which they held copyright. Both the video of Lessig's talk and the blog conversation regarding WBMG's objection are must-see resources.

Conversely, there are also many businesses who are (very) skeptical about this whole idea. Are you that stubborn businessman who is unwilling to try new social media tools? If you are, you will most probably agree with the points below but look out for the counter-arguments!

Raindrop is an effort that starts by trying to understand today's web of conversations, and aims to design an interface that helps people get a handle on their digital world. At the same time, it creates a programming interface (API) that helps designers and developers extend our work and create new systems on top of that data. We aren't trying to invent new protocols or build new messaging systems, rather focusing on building a product that lets users get a handle on the systems we already use.

Three Signs it's Time for a Website Redesign You spent a fortune and put in a ton of effort to build your website. And, the very thought of repeating this process all over again seems to put you off. Somehow, you have a feeling that your website isn't any longer delivering the results it's supposed to. However, there's no point having a website that does not connect with visitors. So how do you know if it's time to hire a web design Vaughan agency for a website redesign? Here are three signs to look for to decide whether you need a website redesign. Your Website Takes a Long Time to Load Test your website's speed to see how long it takes to load. You can run it through Google PageSpeed Insights. Now, look at the result. If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, you must get it up to speed. The longer your website takes to load, the higher are the chances of your visitors abandoning it and the lower will your conversions be. So if your site is slow to load, a website redesign is in order. Your Website is Not Mobile Friendly Look up your website on your mobile phone's browser. What do you see? Is the text easy to read? Do you have to zoom-pinch to be able to read the text? Do the buttons respond to the taps on your mobile device? Is the site easy to navigate? If the answer is a big NO to any/all of these questions, you must consider a website redesign. If your website is not mobile friendly, chances are that your website visitors are leaving your website frustrated by the poor experience. Even the search engines expect you to have a mobile friendly site. If not, you may lose your rankings in the search results. Your Web Design is Outdated If your website was built even five years ago, chances are high that it's outdated. A dated website does not create the right impression on your visitors. Worse yet, they may assume that you are out of business. Magenta Web Design Vaughan can help you get back on the right track with a modern, fresh, mobile responsive

Are You Making these Web Design Mistakes in 2019? Your website can make or break your business goals. It's not just about how your website looks. It's about how your website performs and how user-friendly it is. In fact, you have less than 10 seconds to impress your visitors. If you can't strike a chord with them in these 10 seconds, they will leave. You must have come across a ton of websites telling you what to do. However, there are many things you must not do when it comes to web design. In this post, our web design Mississauga team looks at some of the common mistakes businesses make when it comes to their web design. Your Website is Not Mobile Friendly If your website is not mobile friendly, you are losing prospective customers who use smaller devices (tablets and smartphones) to access your website. Your audience expects you to have a mobile friendly website. There's no way out. And this is something you must fix sooner than later. Your Message is Not Clear This is perhaps the biggest mistake. Why? Because users begin making an opinion about your business right from the moment they land on your site. If your visitors can't make what exactly your business is about and what you do, they are likely to leave. At the bare minimum, your products/services must be clearly visible along with trust-building elements such as achievements, accolades, testimonials and industry affiliations. Your Website is Slow to Load Online users are very impatient thanks to a nifty tool called "back" button on their browsers. People do not like waiting and they expect your website to load quickly. Now when we say, quickly, we don't mean under 10 seconds or even 5 seconds. In fact, 47% of people expect a website to load within 2 seconds or sooner. The longer time your website takes to load, the higher is the probability of your users leaving your website. Your Contact Information Isn't Easily Available Once on your homepage, most of your visitors want to see y
