Global Atlas Of Infectious Diseases
Global Atlas Of Infectious Diseases
12/06/2003 08:39 AMGlobal Atlas Of Infectious Diseases - WHO (World Health
Organization)http://globalatlas.who.int/In a single electronic platform, the WHO’s Communicable
Disease Global Atlas is bringing together for analysis and comparison
standardized data and statistics for infectious diseases at country,
regional, and global levels. The analysis and interpretation of data
are further supported through information on demography, socioeconomic
conditions, and environmental factors. In so doing, the Atlas
specifically acknowledges the broad range of determinants that
influence patterns of infectious disease transmission. Over the next
year, the system aims to provide a single point of access to data,
reports and documents on the major diseases of poverty including
malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, the diseases on their way towards
eradication and elimination (such as guinea worm, leprosy, lymphatic
filariasis) and epidemic prone and emerging infections for example
meningitis, cholera, yellow fever and anti-infective drug resistance.
The database will be updated on an ongoing basis and in addition to
epidemiological information, the system aims to provide information on
essential support services such as the network of communicable
diseases collaborating centres, the activities of the Global Outbreak
Alert and Response Network among others.

"Mobile phone virus sounds alarm in Moscow!" "World's

are mine, the words are actual headlines from, respectively, The

worm had been demonstrated that infects Symbian-based mobile phones
with Bluetooth. The wireless public gasped. Computer security experts

MySpace????
MySpace????
04/24/2004 03:25 AMMySpace:
The Show. Social networking is definitely going mainstream. I see
in Variety that a reality show is being developed based on people
meeting through social networking service MySpace. [Note: the article
led me to sign up for MySpace, and I will review... [Get Real]
I'd be interested in what Stowe thinks about MySpace. I call
it the "kitchen sink" of social networking. I'm amazed at just
how many features and capabilities it has. For what it seems to
lack in heart, soul and passion - it makes up with Rankings, Blogs and
Games. They even have classifieds! And Yahoo ads all over
the place!
But there's something about that place - which (BTW) they claim
they have more traffic than Friendster right now.
MySpace - is #1
MySpace - is #1
03/06/2004 01:49 AM
According to a PR Newswire this morning Nielsen NetRatings confirms
“Myspace.com‘s market leadership in
Social Networking category”:
LOS ANGELES, March 1 /PRNewswire/ — MySpace.com,
formally launched just over one month ago, today announces it is the
number one ranked social networking site in terms of page views,
according to Nielsen NetRatings, the leading online measurement
tool.
“The latest Nielsen statistics validate what our
users have been telling us for months,” said Chris DeWolfe,
co-founder and President of MySpace.com. “By allowing our users
to dictate the features they want, we’ve been able to develop an
offering that keeps them coming back.”
MySpace.com has garnered an ardent and loyal fan base very
quickly thanks to the technological superiority of its offering.
MySpace.com is the only site of its kind to integrate blogs, instant
messaging, classified listings, voting, groups, user forums, music and
other user-created content. MySpace.com has also taken an active role
in sponsoring music shows, parties and other events for its online
users to socialize offline.
“To become the leader in the social networking space
in just five months is an accomplishment we’re thrilled about,
but we see it as only the beginning,” commented Tom Anderson,
co-founder of MySpace.com. In addition to its technological
advantages, MySpace.com allows a level of flexibility that is
unmatched in the online social networking world. Users are allowed to
create personalized web page profiles, which they can then use to link
up and communicate with others of similar hobbies and interests. As
the site is entirely advertiser-supported, use of the site is
free.
[The Social
Software Weblog]
This exposes what we've all known all along - that nobody goes to
Friendster anymore. And that it's lack of funtionality and
features - makes it a joke.
Now I'm not sure if its MySpace's features, or people themselves -
but they sure look like they're having fun over there.

Just got this in my mail - and it's 2AM - so I guess Judith must be
asleep - or else she would have blogged it already.
MySpace now has improved their Groups - and added it to their
lineup of better blogging, classifieds, very coolio music features and
special 'band groups'.
MySpace has proven that it really is about the activities and
giving people something to do. IM, Ranking and Games seem to be the
core activities.
Business model? Ads. Sposnorships. Special Band Groups. Watch
for even mroe ''premium' features that folks will pay for. How many
of them - you ask? Over 2M.
Man oh man - I just can't wait for the Reality TV show.
Just gotta convince Tom to support the FOAFnet.

MySpace will stream the whole first episode of The Office on March
16th at 8PM while the episode will air for the first time on NBC
March 24th. Maybe BitTorrent has really gotten

06/30/2004 02:40 AMNetworking website offers marketing opportunities for
musicians.
The networking website trend, while not
exactly new anymore, is still thriving. While Friendster.com was the
first to reel users into the world of organized online socializing,
MySpace.com has since caught up. Many formal Friendster loyalists have
since moved over to MySpace for its added features such as instant
messaging, blogs, and classifieds. (That~s not to say that Friendster
doesn~t still have its own dedicated fan base.) One of the site~s most
recently added features, MySpace Music, is utilizing the networking
space to spread the word about music artists.
Consumers tell us that they mostly find out about new music through
their friends, which is exactly what MySpace Music allows users to do
online. While musicians can also create profiles on Friendster for
friends-of-friends to see, MySpace Music takes the concept a step
further by offering band Web pages and music downloads, thus turning
the site into a potential marketing tool. Similar to how Napster users
can view other users~ music libraries, MySpace users can view each
others ~friends~, thus providing MySpace Music artists with
considerable exposure and access to their fans. With the buzz on
MySpace Music, we expect to see more networking sites offering similar
marketing opportunities in the future.

Oh No, Technology Is Going To Steal Your
Job... Again
06/25/2004 12:11 PMThis is getting a bit tiresome, but it looks like now that people are
finally starting to calm down about offshoring, they're suddenly up in
arms about automation. First there was the complaint a few months ago
saying
we should stop working on certain technologies in order to save
jobs. Now, Strategy Analytics, an analyst firm that should know
better than to put out overhyped reports that don't understand history
is saying that offshoring is nothing compared to how
automation will kill
mid-level service jobs. Once again, all you need to do is look at
history to show this is wrong. Every time automation removes the need
for certain jobs, it's opened up many more opportunities, often
expanding the overall economy and raising our standards of living. It
wasn't that long ago that you needed a human operator to connect every
phone call. However, once we figured out how to automate that
process, it didn't necessarily mean a destruction of all those
operator jobs, but a new revolution in telephony which expanded so
many businesses and created so many new jobs that no one could have
imagined when the "operator" process was first automated. It's
getting repetitive to say it, but innovation is not a zero-sum game.
Automating a job doesn't just mean that the jobs go away, but that
many more new opportunities open up.

03/08/2004 11:15 PMIntel's moves in the Wi-Fi market may squeeze out other players in the
market, including access point makers: Intel is moving toward building
chips that can allow a laptop to serve as an AP. Some say if that
becomes standard gear in laptops, it may threaten the vendors that
make standalone access points. I have to agree with some of the
comments in this story that while in some cases it is convenient for a
laptop to serve as an AP, at other times it isn't. I would prefer a
standalone AP in my house because otherwise I'd have to keep my laptop
running all the time. I suspect that laptops with built-in APs will
appeal to a certain market but it won't kill the market for standalone
APs. Intel could also give TiVo a run for its money as it develops
chips for entertainment PCs. TiVo is apparently working to make its
product cheaper and easier to use in anticipation for the
competition....
