Facebook in Ägypten - 0 views

  • Die Zeiten, in den sich der Informationsfluss in der arabischen Welt einfach staatlicherseits kontrollieren ließ, sind vorbei.Und es sind vor allem die Neuen Medien wie das Soziale Netzwerk Facebook, die Internet-Tagebücher der Blogger und der Kurznachrichtendienst Twitter, auf denen sich Nachrichten, die den arabischen Regierungen nicht genehm sind, wie ein Lauffeuer verbreiten.
  • Mehr Facebook-User als ZeitungsleserDas Internet ist für das Regime in Ägypten zum Oppositionsführer geworden. Gerade Facebook wird nicht nur in Ägypten, sondern überall in der arabischen Welt zu einem wichtigen Kommunikationsmittel, jenseits der staatlichen Zensur und der roten Linien, an die sich auch die unabhängige Presse halten muss. In der arabischen Welt gibt es inzwischen laut einer Studie der Agentur Spot on Public Relation in Dubai mehr Facebook-Nutzer als Zeitungsleser.
  • Demnach nutzen 15 Millionen Menschen in der arabischen Welt Facebook, verglichen mit der Auflage von etwas weniger als 14 Millionen Zeitungen, die auf Arabisch, Englisch und Französisch in der Region erscheinen."Wie ein Virus""Facebook und andere Social Networks beginnen nun zu definieren, wie Menschen Informationen entdecken und teilen und wie sie sich eine Meinung bilden", sagt Carington Malin, Vorstand von Spot on Public Relation.

Open Knowledge Foundation Blog » Blog Archive » Rethinking Open Data: Lessons... - 0 views

  • You can build it but they won’t come. All successful open source projects build communities of supportive engaged developers who identify with the project and keep it productive and useful.
  • Ongoing maintenance and distribution of the data hasn’t been budgeted for almost all the data sets we have today. This attitude has to change, and new projects give us the chance to get it right, but most existing datasets are unfunded for maintenance and release.
  • there are at least five different types of Open Data groupie: low-polling governments who want to see a PR win from opening their data, transparency advocates who want a more efficient and honest government, citizen advocates who want services and information to make their lives better, open advocates who believe that governments act for the people therefore government data should be available for free to the people, and wonks who are hoping that releasing datasets of public toilets will deliver the same economic benefits to the country as did opening the TIGER geo/census dataset.

Free Our Books and research papers - 1 views

  • We, the citizens, through the state, pay for the production of academic books and research papers twice, first through salaries and research grants, and second through the purchase of books and journal subscriptions. This is how the the most fundamental principles of academia, to study and to share its findings, are obstructed, and its operation is made far more expensive and cumbersome.

You Can Learn From "Dell Hell." Dell Did | CustomerThink - 0 views

  • Learning from Dell
  • Customers are in control. Work with them and learn from them. Real conversations are two-way. Think before you talk—but always be yourself. Address any form of dissatisfaction head on. Be aware that any conversation can become global at any time. Size doesn't matter—relevance does. Just as one journalist can trigger a newscycle, one blogger can do the same. Don't be afraid to apologize. Develop direct links to customer community (IdeaStorm for Dell), listen for how we can improve. One customer is part of many communities. Teamwork, transparency and frequent consistent communication are key in this new world. No shortcuts are possible. Implementing business change requires much effort across departments.

US Uncut's Anti-Austerity Protests Hit Bank of America - 0 views

  •  
    As a voice at the megaphone of the Portland protest said, "The United States does not have a deficit problem. The United States has a revenue problem." According to a 2008 report by the Government Accountability Office, 25 percent of the biggest corporations pay no federal income tax. B of A, the recipient of $45 billion in bailout funds, shuttles its would-be tax dollars into 115 offshore tax havens. Meanwhile, budget deficits are cited as justification for pay freezes for public workers and cuts to heating assistance programs, Social Security, and other social safety nets.

National Rail Have Killed My UK Train Times App - 0 views

  • About a year ago I wrote a simple web application to present UK train times in a simple format for mobile phone users.
  • When I wrote the app none of the official train timetable sites could do this and I don’t believe any can now.
  • To reiterate – I built this because it was convenient and would be useful to others.  Not to make a profit. …and today National Rail killed it.

  • the page on London Datastore has now been locked.  “Access Denied”.  Possibly because a lot of discussion appeared on there which was critical of ATOC’s decision to extract money from users of the service
  •  If you’re a user of the application and disagree with National Rail’s greed in trying to make money out of a data source which was hitherto free, I can only suggest you email nrelicensing@atoc.org and express your concerns.
