I thought I just commented on this but maybe I commented on the wrong thing because I don't see my original comment! I'm definitely new to Diigo. Ben, this post made me wonder...are you familiar with SoundCloud, and if so, do you know of any free online software like it that take mp3 files and convert them to HTML code that can be embedded into a webpage?

Sound cloud looks really interesting, but they host all of the content and you just send out links to share it. In order to play content on your page, you need a mess of java script commands and I have no idea how to link that to your content... Guess that's why all the bands pay big bucks to have someone build their site for them.

China cracks down on websites allegedly spreading coup rumors - CNN.com - 0 views

A little late in the game, but the wording here is really interesting because the censorship of bloggers by the Chinese government includes works with imagined information. In addition, they specifically cut off the comments option. We have a direct moment here where the 2.0 and call and response of online writing is considered poisonous to government action, even if the work is a fictional piece. The most important thing to note here is that China is now requiring all microbloggers to use their real names. We talked about how useful a tracked name can be, but in this case practicality loses over privacy.

The money formerly used for paper could be transferred to something more environmentally friendly, like purchasing eReaders that can be checked out in the library.

the main objection to eReaders – that the energy required to make and use one exceeds the carbon impact of making a book – is largely invalid: The carbon emitted in the life cycle of an Amazon Kindle is fully offset after one year of us

The idea behind this is to allow for an experience closer to that we have in the "real world." The comments section offers some interesting counterpoints to Terry's arguments.
