The Network is Social (Todd Watson) - 0 views

  •  
    Online, what's personal is increasingly becoming what's professional, and vice versa. Locking down the bits streaming in from Facebook and other social networks may seem like a good idea at the time, but it's likely shutting down one of your employees' most powerful networking tools. We're in a knowledge economy, people. And people and relationships and who knows what and who knows whom are an integral element of the knowledge economy value chain. And you want to shut that down? Really? Seriously?

FCC probably can't police Comcast's BitTorrent throttling (CNET News.com) - 0 views

  •  
    Federal regulators are planning to meet on Friday and declare that Comcast violated Net neutrality principles when throttling BitTorrent traffic on its network. This would become the U.S. government's first Net neutrality-related ruling. There's just one problem with the Federal Communications Commission's plans: They may not be quite, well, legal. In other words, the FCC may not actually have the authority to make its ruling stick.

Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants - Some Thoughts from the Generation Gap - 0 views

  •  
    Digital Natives are used to receiving information really fast. They like to parallel process and multi-task. They prefer their graphics before their text rather than the opposite. They prefer random access (like hypertext). They function best when networked. They thrive on instant gratification and frequent rewards. They prefer games to "serious" work.

What Do You Think About ZDTV / TechTV / G4? | Chris Pirillo - 0 views

  •  
    Chris Pirillo is right. It's time to move on. TECHTV is gone and will not be back; those who made the network great have moved on to other venues. Thankfully, the internet makes that possible. It is their example that helped me understand we can all support what we want on the Internet

A lot of people watched TV, the Nielsen company estimated just how many, and the advertisers paid for airtime based on the Nielsen ratings. Now, the TV industry is changing and Nielsen is trying to keep up.">@import "/templates/css/mainstyles.css";@import "/templates/css/bucket_alt.css";@import "/templates/css/stories.css";@import "/templates/css/print_stories.css"; metatext/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Facebook puts on a more adult face - Mar. 21, 2008 - 0 views

  •  
    It's already hooked America's youth, and now Facebook is set on winning the hearts of two potentially lucrative demographics: Adults and the rest of the world. First, the adults: Facebook this week took on LinkedIn and other popular networking sites for working professionals with a new set of privacy controls that will give users greater control over who can see their profiles. Now a member can restrict who gets to see that drunken St. Patrick's Day photo - an important tool for working-age adults worried about a boss catching wind of their extracurricular activities.
