Internet Censorship: Debate Continues Over Google and YouTube's Effect on the Real World - 0 views

      I am not sure where I fall on this argument. I certainly do not believe that the Government should regulate youtube any more than currently does but I am not sure whether youtube is a mirror that reflects societal values or whether it is actually an integral part in influencing them. What do you think?
  • Communication is never motivated purely by a desire to convey information about the world, it is always an attempt to alter that world, even if only to make a few quid or re-establish an old friendship.

      This is the truth. Even the most inconsequential things we "post", can change the way others see us and the things we talk about.

An Elevated Search Engine - 0 views

  •  
    I'm not sure that this is how most people use tumblr, but it occured to me that searching for images through a blogging service where people are handpicking these images may be a better system. How many of us have looked something up through google images with sheer frustration at the lack of variety of images? Maybe I'm the only one. All I'm saying is that you should try opening up tumblr, plugging in a word like "mountains" or something and see what rolls out. Keep in mind that an extract of the blogger's text entry is displayed with the image, so it is not a legitimate "image search." But I really feel that this way of people deciding what images should be showing up is a great one. That is all. Also--Don't get too distracted by the huge sign up form in the middle of the page.

  • Maybe Web 2.0 is a transitional phase, and once we get used to interacting with online tools in a more natural way and dispense with static web, we will move to a world of true distributed computing.
  • We'll need to make sure that the successful Web 2.0 companies don't just sit on progress because it doesn't serve their business plans, like so many other computing companies have done in the past and continue to do today. If Web 2.0 is the first stage in a revolution, we need to make sure it's a permanent revolution.
