It's official: Google wants to own your online identity - Tech News and Analysis - 7 views

    • Robin Cicchetti
       
      Users forfeit the ownership of their user data to Google.
  • Google’s purpose was clearly to “provide identity in a commerce-ready way. And to give them information about what you do on the Internet, without obfuscation of pseudonyms.
  • obvious search-related rationale for launching a social network like Google+, since indexing and mining that kind of activity can help the company provide better “social search” results. But the real-name issue has more to do with Google’s other business: namely, advertising.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The growth of Google+ provides a reason for people to create Google profiles, and that data — along with their activity on the network and through +1 buttons — goes into the vast Google cyberplex where it can be crunched and indexed and codified in a hundred different ways
  • excludes potentially valuable viewpoints that might be expressed by political dissidents and others who prefer to remain anonymous. In effect, Schmidt said Google isn’t interested in changing its policies to accommodate those kinds of users: if people want to remain anonymous, he said, then they shouldn’t use Google+.
  • the reason Google needs users with real names is that the company sees Google+ as the core of an identity platform it is building that can be used for other things:
  • n identity service, so fundamentally, it depends on people using their real names if they’re going to build future products that leverage that information

Best Buy and Verizon Jump Into E-Reader Fray, With iRex - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • iRex Technologies, a spinoff of Royal Philips Electronics that already makes one of Europe’s best-known e-readers, plans to announce that it is entering the United States market with a $399 touch-screen e-reader.
  • The iRex has an 8.1-inch touch screen and links to buy digital books in Barnes & Noble’s e-bookstore and periodicals from NewspaperDirect, a service that offers more than 1,100 papers and presents them onscreen largely as they appear in print form.
  • The iRex can also handle the ePub file format, a widely accepted industry standard, which means that owners can buy books from other online bookstores that use ePub and transfer texts onto the iRex.

Bibliotecas móviles como instrumento para promover la lectura - 0 views

  •  
    Si es que alguno aún no se decidido de lleno al uso de todas estas herramientas y aplicaciones, a continuación les comparto las diez razones y buenos argumentos para acercarnos a la tecnología:
  •  
    Cuando pensamos en bibliotecas móviles, siempre las asociamos con los bibliobuses. Sin embargo, existen otros medios de transporte, que son usados en determinadas zonas, a las que no se puede llegar de otra forma: el agua, la selva o el desierto no son barreras para acceder a la lectura. BIBLIOLANCHA En Argentina: Una lancha de 8 m de eslora recorre las islas del Delta del Paraná en el noroeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Dotada de un fondo de 2.000 ejemplares, dispone de ordenadores con conexión a Internet y organiza talleres de promoción a la lectura. Es atendida por un "promotor cultural" ayudado por un bibliotecaria y una voluntaria de la zona que se atiende. El inconveniente para poder prestar sus servicio, radica en los elementos climáticos, como en este caso el tema de las crecidas del río.
