    Citizens took to the digital streets today to celebrate what has become known as "Internet Freedom Day." The new holiday celebrates users' ability to speak, share, create, and innovate. It commemorates the Internet blackout of Jan. 18, 2012, in which tens of thousands of websites participated, to protest the draconian copyright bills SOPA and PIPA.

  • Writing a weblog today isn't the bright idea it was four years ago.
  • Scroll down Technorati's list of the top 100 blogs and you'll find personal sites have been shoved aside by professional ones.
  • ssional ones. Most are essentially online magazines:
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • When blogging was young, enthusiasts rode high, with posts quickly skyrocketing to the top of Google's search results for any given topic, fueled by generous links from fellow bloggers. In 2002, a search for "Mark" ranked Web developer Mark Pilgrim above author Mark Twain. That phenomenon was part of what made blogging so exciting. No more. Today, a search for, say, Barack Obama's latest speech will deliver a Wikipedia page, a Fox News article, and a few entries from professionally run sites like Politico.com. The odds of your clever entry appearing high on the list? Basically zero.
  • Further, text-based Web sites aren't where the buzz is anymore. The reason blogs took off is that they made publishing easy for non-techies.
  • Twitter — which limits each text-only post to 140 characters — is to 2008 what the blogosphere was to 2004.
  • And Twitter posts can be searched instantly, without waiting for Google to index them.

    Not sure if someone else already posted about this, but Kindle could find itself in the middle of a copyright battle over audio rights.

publishing Net Neutrality FCC regulation

shared by arnie Grossblatt on 12 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • If Net Neutrality is clobbered the way the telcos hope it will be, the next Web or YouTube won’t come from disruptive inventors in a garage; it will come from the corporate labs at one of the five big media consortia or one of a handful of phone and cable companies.
  • Here’s something every creator, every free speech advocate, every copyright maximalist and every copyfighter should agree on: allowing the channels to audiences to be cornered by a handful of incumbents is bad news for all of us. It doesn’t matter that the lame-duck, sellout FCC won’t stand up for us. It doesn’t matter that Canada’s CRTC and the UK’s Ofcom are no better, that regulators around the world are as toothless as newborns. This is the big fight for us – the fight over who gets to decide who will be heard and how.

  • Michael Jensen, the always-ahead-of-the-curve Director of the National Academies Press gave a stunningly original speech at the recent AAUP (American Association of University Presses) which, in his words, "allowed me to talk about the two issues that matter most to me: saving scholarly publishing, and saving civilization. In 16 minutes."
