How Wikileaks has woken up journalism. « Emily Bell(wether) - 5 views

  •  
    The idea that this is the first real battleground between the political establishment and the open web is very arresting. It also forces journalists and news organisations to demonstrate to what extent they are now part of an establishment it is their duty to report. Some like the Guardian, which has a long tradition of free speech attached to it, has been at the heart of disseminating Wikileaks cablegate information.

Dusan Writer's Metaverse » Google's Lively: The Virtual World is No Metavers... - 0 views

  • As GigaOm reports, it’s more akin to the 800 lb gorilla in the room giving a wave and saying “Yeah, I’m here.” Only it turns out that it’s wearing a tutu and has blue hair.
  • Instead, Google gives us. Hmmm. Well, it’s kind of like IMVU. Or Kaneva. And certainly a lot like Vivaty, whose integration into Facebook makes it the current, um, 3D Facebook:
  • Why Be Lively? So what gives? So far, there’s nothing NEW here, nothing that wasn’t done on a 100 other platforms. So why do it at all?

  • Google’s Lively is basically a chat client. But then to some, so is Second Life. And it has some advantages: - The Google name and reach - Clean, sculpty looking objects - A small download - A peppy, bright, bubbly sort of chat space - Link to your Google profile and log-in information (G-mail etc.) - The ability to embed youTube videos and watch them with your friends - A maniacal giggle (with its downside that it’s text activated, just say the word laugh and you’re laughing as in “That’s nothing to laugh about”) And it has distinct disadvantages as well, in particular no support for the Mac (were they in SUCH a huge rush? Did the Vivaty launch onto Facebook accelerate their plans ahead of support for the Mac platform?), bugs, crashes, avatar limits, and a bit of a learning curve.

    Some commentary on Lively, its possibilities as an SL killer, and its possible revenue stream. Looks more like advertising heaven so little or no chance for user created content?

electric car charger manufacturers - 0 views

    With the rapid development of the global electric vehicle industry, various countries are accelerating the construction of electric vehicle charging piles. However, the current charging standards in various countries are different, which affects the convenience of electric vehicle charging to a certain extent. Currently, North America mainly uses the SAE standard, Europe uses the IEC standard, China uses the GB/T standard, and Japan uses the CHAdeMO standard for DC charging of electric vehicles. And these main differences are the differences in the plugs. Details are as follows.
