JiWire Separates Places from Providers 07/07/2004 12:55 PM

JiWire collapses providers into locations, offering a more distinct look at the world: JiWire has just finished a massive update to their site which features some redesign, but most significantly changes the way in which they count hotspots. Previously, each provider at each location was counted once. Now, they count providers at locations separately from unique locations. Their current count is 46,799 hotspots (providers for each location) and 35,695 unique locations, which are physical addresses with one or more provider offering service. This method extends the principles of counting uniquely to better understand the scope of networks that I've written about recently. JiWire continues to make it simple to find free hotspots. Click Hotspots at the top of any page or Advanced Search near any hotspot search form and you can check the Free button under Access Fee to restrict results to free locations. You can also read the first of an excellent service of features written by my friends Richard and Angela as they travel with their four kids of all ages from Maine to Michigan down to Texas and back to the lobster state by RV. They're running an Internet business as they spend a month traveling, and need relatively constant access to stay on top of their operations....

when faraway places f*ck up NYC


when faraway places f*ck up NYC 08/09/2004 08:08 PM
Boom! Forget terror attacks, the real reason for an orange alert in NYC has to do with ... rocks. I'll bet you've never heard of Cumbr e Vieja. In fact, if the first hit on a google s earch for something is a PDF, you know it's obscure. (It's a volcano in the Canaries). If it erupts, it'll spell the end for Washington, New York and Boston (and parts of Europe will get a bit wet.) Hoo!

Now, short of hoping it will go away, there's nothing you can do, because it will take 35 million years to dismantle the dangerous bits of rock. Instead, the boffins are talking about evacuating the east coast. Yet more obscure places you wish you could forget menacing the future of the US, hey?

Places Online
http://www.placesonline.org

The Association of American Geographers has gathered an array of websites that depict environments, people and life around the world. There is a high standard for inclusion in the site: the sites must be image and content heavy, and must be "primary" sites, as opposed to sites that only direct users to a list of links. Places Online is searchable, and also can be navigated by using an interactive map; the first level is by region/continent and the second level is broken down into countries and cities. Most sites are native to the region that is being explored, thereby giving a local flavor and perspective on the locales, events and experiences displayed.

The Metasearch Initiative: Looking for Data in All the Right Places
http://snipurl.com/7ig2

Whether you call it metasearch, federated search or broadcast search, the idea of exploring multiple resources using a single interface has long been the pipe dream of libraries. Unfortunately, most of the disparate data resources patrons want to search serve their data in many different ways, or not at all. While Google and the like search anything, the challenge for the library profession is to create ways to search well in all the right places. At the 2003 ALA Midwinter Meeting, three vendors -- EBSCO, Gale and ProQuest -- met to discuss the problem. Led by the National Information Standards Organization, workshop meetings were held and the Metasearch Initiative was formed. With a mix of librarians, publishers and library-software providers, the Metasearch Initiative has drawn the participation of more than 60 individuals from five countries. Even large publishers who have already developed proprietary XML gateways are involved. The Metasearch Initiative intends to identify, develop, and frame the standards and other common understandings needed to enable an efficient and robust information environment. The Metasearch Initiative's goals are to enable service providers to offer more effective and responsive services, help content providers deliver enhanced content while protecting their intellectual property, and enable libraries to deliver services that distinguish their offerings from Google and other free Web search services.

    NetNearU Fosters Roaming Among Its
    Resellers
    06/03/2004 05:18 PM
    Turnkey hotspot system operator allows its resellers to roam freely if they wish: NetNearU is one of several companies that provides turnkey hotspot equipment to single venues or resellers who then equip locations. The network has always allowed roaming with a single login across its entire network for existing users, but settles fees set by each network based on usage. Now, NetNearU is allowing resellers who want to offer free roaming to do so by signing a revised agreement. In an interview Wednesday with Wi-Fi Networking News, NetNearU's director of marketing David Comer said in this new model, "End users don’t ever have to work about being charged." So far, five reseller networks have signed up, including Cafe.com in Los Angeles, CEDX in the New York metropolitan area, providers in Seattle, Chicago, and Israel. The initiative was spearheaded by Cafe.com's Ronan Higgins. Comer said, "He really came up with some good business points as to why--as he calls them--the middle-tier operators should provide free roaming to their users to go wherever they can." Craig Plunkett, CEDX's managing principal, said in an interview, "It gives us the same bilateral roaming that FatPort and Surf and Sip put together." Plunkett noted that previously, a roaming customer would take revenue from his network and settle it on the destination network. With the new agreement, "If that guy is a monthly customer of mine, I don’t have to worry about paying Ronan [of Cafe.com] the entire revenue stream for the month." Currently, NetNearU resellers have to opt in or out of the agreement, and Comer said that the company is about to start actively marketing the idea to its wider groups of customers. For "each licensee or network operator, it’s their own business to run," Comer said. "It really helps the smaller licensees to a certain extent to compete against Boingo, or to have some kind of added value or added attractiveness. Because it just makes you as a smaller guy appear larger," Comer said. NetNearU resells service on a per-session basis to Boingo, iPass, and GRIC. Comer noted that customers of a given network would be able to see which locations they could roam freely onto through a link on the login screen which NetNearU dynamically updates as revised contracts are received....

The Register reported over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend that Microsoft has attempted to intimidate small resellers in the Netherlands to keep them from offering LindowsOS for sale.
