    The Toronto-based startup Thoora promises to gauge how well individual news stories are doing by analyzing and calibrating real-time data from blogs, mainstream news sources and Twitter. Thoora's software uses more than 100 attributes to determine not only the most popular content but also the highest quality, using measures such grammar and spelling and the authority of sites that link to the content.

    While the technosphere was busy Tuesday pitting Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG) new Buzz service against Facebook and Twitter in some kind of social media steel-cage deathmatch, the search giant's executives were hinting at what they see as the real winning uses for Buzz -- within the enterprise and out and about in the mobile arena.

    Brands and companies aren't necessarily producing real output, but rather just responding and reacting in the social media world. This spreads awareness of their brand, but really means they're producing media rather than products. Interesting thought.

google china censorship leaving bloggers cyberattack

shared by kkholland on 17 Jan 10 - Cached
  • Google said on Tuesday that it was considering shutting down Google.cn and closing its offices in China after a cyber attack on its corporate infrastructure resulted in intellectual property loss. Google also said it would stop censoring search results on Google.cn. For the first time, reports and images of the Tiananmen Square massacre and other events could be seen through Google searches in China.
  • Chinese American media rushing to provide their analysis in the context of U.S.-China relations. “Google, Don’t become a tool in the political fight between the U.S. and China” read the headline of an editorial published Friday in China Press. “Though Obama tried to adapt to China’s increasingly powerful role in the world with a new attitude and said the United States would not repress China’s development, the differences in ideology between the countries continue to prohibit the U.S.-China relationship from moving forward,” the editorial argued.
  • “If the Chinese government just let it go, Google could stop its financial losses in China, which would be beneficial to its share price. If the Chinese government is willing to compromise, Google will become the ‘hero’ that breaks China’s strict control over Internet information.” Chinese investors, Leung noted, believe the absence of Google will actually benefit the local Internet market; the stock prices of Chinese Internet companies rose right after the announcement was made.

  • Editors of the World Journal said they were happy to see Google defend the freedom of online information without censorship, describing it as “an act of courage.” A popular column in World Journal contends that it is time for the Chinese government to change in order to develop into a truly strong country. “A real strong country is not just strong economically,” the column argues. “It also needs development in people’s values, in order to build a healthy and principled system, and abolish the current zero-tolerance policy on dissident expression.”
  • An editorial written by Feng Lei of Guangzhou’s Southern Metropolis Daily doubts if Beijing is willing to let go of Google. “A company like Google not only serves as a technology leader in China’s domestic market, but also, by virtue of its presence, has a ‘catfish effect’ [raising overall performance in the industry]. Without this presence and effect, there will be a definite impact on the development of the industry domestically.”
  • A news analysis in China Times describes the announcement as a tactic for Google to gain more freedom in China.
  • The most popular blogger in China, Han Han, also expressed his support for Google. He wrote on his blog, “I understand Google’s decision, whether it is for real or not. What I don’t understand is that some Web sites conducted surveys saying that 70 percent of Internet users do not support Google’s request that the Chinese government stop its censorship. While looking at these survey results on the government Web site, you often find yourself on the opposite side,” adding that these Web sites should be the ones to be censored.
  • A blog on Baidu.com, Google’s biggest competitor in China, said, “The tone of the top Google legal advisor disgusts me. He could have said that they are withdrawing for economic reasons, plain and simple. Instead, they have to make themselves look good by saying that Google was attacked by Chinese people, that Gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents were attacked, and so on in order to explain why they are withdrawing from China. This type of tone is an insult to the intelligence of ordinary Chinese citizens.”
  • The reason Google is having a hard time in China, she argued, is that there is a mismatch between American ideology and Chinese management style. “In the Chinese market, Google has no intention of adjusting itself to adapt to the Chinese situation, but works according to its own ideology,” she writes. “That’s why, under media exposure during the anti-pornography campaign, Google could barely handle the situation and had to change its leadership in China.”

    "The front page of Friday's Los Angeles Times was taken over by an ad for Disney's "Alice in Wonderland." The ad, which featured Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter character, was superimposed over a mock front page. The paper's real A1 appeared behind it. "We worked very closely with Disney to come up with an exceptional and distinctive way to help them open 'Alice in Wonderland,'" John Conroy, a spokesman for the LAT, told The Wrap's Sharon Waxman. "It was designed to create buzz, and to extend the film's already brilliant marketing campaign. "

2010 Supreme Court Censorship Video Games

    "Lawmakers also said there is a "causal connection" between access to such games and psychological or other harm to children. In their petition to the high court, state lawyers cited studies showing children who repeatedly watch on-screen games can become more aggressive, antisocial, and less able to distinguish the consequences of violence in real life."

    Here's an update on AOL's citizen-journalism site, Seed. "In what he hopes will be the first big demonstration of the "crowdsourcing" potential of AOL's new Seed.com service, former New York Times writer Saul Hansell says he is looking for writers who will write up interviews with all of 2,000 or so bands and artists at the SXSW music festival in Austin. The assignment will involve "real reporting," Hansell said in an interview, in which writers will have to pick up the phone and call the band or artist and write up a 1,000-word interview in question-and-answer format, as well as a 300- to 500-word biography. The price for this assignment? The princely sum of $50."

  • Furthermore, complaints about releasing data are laughable, because the data is already released, and a virtual trading system has existed for a 13 years without any problems (HSX). Cantor owns HSX, and HSX often predicts movie results more accurately than studio estimates, so the idea that these trading systems are designed around a faulty understanding of the movie industry is laughable. If anything, this is one of the most tested trading systems in the history of this country to ever go live. I cannot think of any other trading system we have that had 13 years of data on before people started trading it for real money.
  • I have worked in both industries as a futures trader and film producer. The people who criticize this practice don’t understand it. Futures markets where designed to reduce risk, starting with the grain markets a long time ago. If you could lock in a good price for grain and didn’t know what the future would be, but you knew what your costs were, you could lock in a profit while speculators could take on that risk. It’s a great idea for the film biz. There will be fewer box office disasters and more films greenlit because of the influx of investor dollars. Those who don’t want it are nervous that their accounting practices will be scrutinized and they SHOULD be nervous. I say bring this thing on!!

    More from the MPAA on film futures. They ask for an extension to gather more support from labor organizations against the creation of an exchange.
