ail Invitation Prices Crash: A good lesson in economics here.
On Monday morning, invitations to join the testing of Google's
Gmail Web e-mail service were still fetching as much as $100 on eBay
closed auctions. By Wednesday afternoon, sellers were lucky to crack
the $20 mark.
Increased supply is the likely cause.

06/10/2004 06:16 AMNot too long ago, people were willing to pay top dollar to snag an
invitation to set up an account on Google's Gmail Web e-mail service.
But Google seems to have become more generous with the invitations.

Photo contest for gmail
Photo contest for gmail
06/09/2004 02:06 PMI have a few invites to gmail I'd like to give away. I don't want
money, or favors
though. I like creativity, so how about this: an impromptu photo
contest.
Send me a URL to a favorite photo you've taken. I'll pick the three
best photos, link to them here, and send invites to the 3 winners.
Deadline is say, 24ish hours from now, noon on Thursday, Pacific Time.
Send your entry to: mathowie@gmail.youknowwhat
Gmail contest winners
Gmail contest winners
06/14/2004 02:18 AMFirst off, let me just say I got a ton of response to my gmail
photo invites thing and among the entries I got far too many good ones
to pick just a few. I actually used gmail's built-in tools to track
everything. By labeling all incoming entries, I can see in one click
that 118 people sent a photo link in. Of those, I put a star next to
36 I liked on first view. Of those, I narrowed them down to 31. Among
those 31, there was something compelling about the colors, lighting,
and/or subject matter and any one of ten could have had the top spots.
I'm going with my gut reaction on first viewing but here are the three
winning entries:
a kite photo, a net
photo, & a sunset
photo
It was really hard to pick the top three, as any one of these could
have also been there. If I had more invites to give out, I would have
thrown them all into this list, in no particular order:
§ § §
§
§
§ § § §
§ § §
§ § § § §
§ § § § § § § § §
§ §
I learned some things in this experiment. The biggest one is that
when I said "send in your best photo" I figured that meant the best
composition with the best lighting and most technically superior
image. What most people sent was their finest memory captured on film,
regardless of photo quality. It was eye-opening to me, and told me a
lot about over a hundred strangers. I got to see many, many photos
from vacations and untold numbers of sunsets. It's a fantastic way to
experience meaningful moments in peoples' lives, by seeing these
photos. I've been getting way too far into the technical side of
photography for the last year or two and forgot that photography is
first and foremost a way to record memories.
Overall, I got to see (and share here) many wonderful photos and
memories from those that sent them in. I wish I had more invites to
give and thank everyone for participating.

Gmail Contest: Everyone's A Winner
06/28/2004 04:38 PM
So I'm over a week late, because, uhm ...
but I have good news. Everyone who entered the Gmail contest is a
winner! I still only have three invites on that account, but I'll make
you a deal: for those of you who have already entered, I'll continue
to push out invites as I get them (on the gizmodo@ account and a
couple others) until everyone gets the hook up. I'm sorry I'm so
slack, but I think that's a fair trade. The only thing I would ask is
that if you get any spare invites, let me know on the gizmodo@ account
so I can pass them on to those in need. We'll get this whole damn
battlestation on Gmail if it's the last thing we do!
There are of ton of you who entered, though, so please be patient.
I'll try to rustle up extra invites as fast as I can.
There were a couple of exceptional entries, though, and they will
be getting the first invites, including these two fabulous Photoshop
jobs that put Gizmodo right in my favorite place on 42nd and Broadway
in the whole world, Times Square.
Congratulations Jonathon Robinson and Isaac Epp, and thanks to
everybody who entered!
Look - Jonathon Robinson [Gizmodo]
Look - Isaac Epp [Gizmodo]
Update: I absolutely want to have each and every one of you
inside of me. You all, within 15 minutes, provided enough Gmail
invites to cover every, single entry. Just awesome, thanks! (You can
stop sending invites now).

Well leave it to the folks at Google to roll out some new features in
Gmail. You can now import your address book from other online services
like Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL and of course your Outlook address book. My
outlook address book has nearly 800 legitimate entries that my
professional life revolves around. Nice to have that data backed up an
additional place. [ZDN

About Zawodny's invitation to flame
About Zawodny's invitation to flame
04/23/2004 07:13 PM
Yesterday I pointed to a post by
Jeremy Zawodny that appeared to be calling for a flame fest with me as
the guest of honor. I pointed to it after the first few comments made
it clear that it wasn't going to be a flame fest. In fact, it was the
most rational discussion of conflict disclosure I've seen to date in
the weblog world. It left me bursting with pride to be part of this
community.
There's nothing wrong when someone writes an essay advocating
something that they have a financial interest in, as long as the
interest is disclosed. For example, if you're going to buy a house,
it's good to know you're reading something written by someone who will
profit if you buy the house. That's why you get an inspector to look
over the house after you decide to make an offer. And why you'd feel
betrayed if it turned out the inspector was getting a percentage of
the sale. (In fact the inspector would go to jail for doing that.)
So when a Google shareholder write's an empassioned defense of
Google, it was correct for Zawodny to ask if he was a shareholder. He
did ask, and got an answer, and as far as I was concerned, that was
news, so I pointed to it. All of this is good, it's the system working
as it should.
As I read John Battelle's analysis of search engines, I
wonder if he is consulting for the companies he's writing about. John
has a long career as a journalist and now as a professor, both
professions require disclosures of conflicts of interest, so I
assume he has no such conflict, because I haven't seen a disclaimer
from him.
On the other hand, I often see people who I know have conflicts
writing in their area of conflict without disclosure. In a world where
everyone's playing footsie,
if you tend to out people, you quickly get a rep for being difficult,
or having personality problems. Does this sound familiar? Heh.
In any case, the thread on Zawodny's was a milestone. Thanks to
Tara, Brian, Ryan, Randy, Scott and Rogers and the others
who stood up and said it's important to know where people are coming
from. Tell people when you have a conflict, they'll read you more
carefully, they'll respect you more, and the world will be a better
place.

NEC's "smart" batteries: invitation to
monopolistic DMCA nightmare
NEC's "smart" batteries: invitation to
monopolistic DMCA nightmare
07/08/2004 05:32 AMNEC has announced that its batteries will have cryptographic
authentication schemes to prevent "low-quality counterfeits." Jason
Schultz comments on the way that the DMCA turns such a sytem into a
license to screw your customers by shutting out competitors who make
cheaper batteries:
The software will be introduced in Japanese digital cameras by
year's end and is expected to be used in 50 million units by 2007. The
software is ideal for use in mobile phones and batteries, but NEC
Electronics is also considering extending this technology to "smart"
keys, printers and ink cartridges, as well as bundling the technology
into hardware options.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, software-based authentication is the wave
of the future. And now, with the DMCA, a near-monopoly! Future, here
we come.

Tweaking CC's Standard Attribution
Language - An Invitation to Comment
06/05/2005 11:40 PMSo a new license draft has been posted here. The
changes relate to our standard attribution language and the plan is
that they take effect across all of our core licenses. The new version
will be 2.5 because it is a minor change. We are in the process of
working through other revisions to the licenses that will form the
basis for version 3.0 but this change is needed now to take account of
the demands of wikis & the open access journal community.
Many
of you have given comments on the beta wiki license which have been
very useful. The difference between this license draft and the beta
wiki is that attribution in this draft can be to the author and/or one
or more other parties. The beta wiki license only permitted
attribution to the author *or* another party or parties. Also, we
have included an additional example in the brackets to make it clear
that one of the attributed parties may be a journal.
For a more
detailed explanation of the changes, check out this posting to our licenses discussion list. You can join
the discussion here.
