CMP Says It's Not Blocking Google

CMP Says It's Not Blocking Google 06/25/2004 11:54 AM

CMP Techweb.com's editor in chief, Fredric Paul, says the report I linked to yesterday is incorrect. He writes:

Anyway, we saw that you picked up the CyberJournalist piece on CMP blocking access to our stories from Google News. I don't know where that came from, but it is wrong. We do not and have never blocked access from Google or any other search engine. That's easily testable, try it yourself. We do, however, intercept links from certain competitors who reproduce significant portions of our stories on their own pages -- sometimes even stealing the first link-- before they finally post a link to our original material. In most cases, the intercept we put up allows the reader to then click to their intended destination. Other major technology publishers, including IDG, do similar things. We're not just old media, and we're not completely clueless.

Saudi site blocking

Saudi site blocking 09/14/2004 03:12 PM
At the Berkman Center this afternoon, the lunch-time topic was countries that block access to particular sites. We heard about the Berkman's study of Saudi Arabia's practices. Jonathan Zittrain helped start the project when he realized that many people assume that if you could overcome the economic obstacles to global access, everyone would magically be on line. But even when the connection is there, countries are imposing limitations on what can be accessed. The project checks what's being filtered by the local ISPs. The study began in 2000 and is being done in conjunction with U of Toronto and U...

Firefox to Strengthen Pop-up Blocking

Firefox to Strengthen Pop-up Blocking 04/05/2005 11:52 AM

say goodbye (again) to pop-ups!: Here's why a lot of sites have managed to get around Firefox's pop-up blocking lately.

A lot of people have been reporting a new breed of pop-ups on the web. This increasing menace is rooted in the pop-up capabilities of plug-ins like flash and Java. If you're seeing pop-ups and pop-unders, you're probably visiting sites that have flash or other plug-ins and those plug-ins are being exploited by advertisers to abuse you with annoying pop-ups and pop-unders.

Mozilla is taking steps to strengthed pop-up blocking, which is good news because I've seen it get a lot worse lately. Via Slashdot.

Yahoo blocking Trillian again!

Yahoo blocking Trillian again! 06/24/2004 04:40 AM

I Love Trillian and I am not real Happy with Yahoo at this moment seems the idiots over their are blocking those of us using Trillian as our IM client. Who in their right mind wants 4-5 Instant Message clients sitting on their taskbar especially when the can run one program and have them all. It is a beautiful thing I don't get spam advertised and I used to be able to login to all 4 of my IM accounts.

The solution is simple tell all of those that I chat with on Yahoo to move to one of the remaining services that are not blocked. Yahoo just doesn't get it do they, no wonder they continue to loose the browser war and screw up every other half assed service they run. [ZDNet]

Jason is writing about RSS Ad Blocking: Given that people who use newsreaders are still of the early adopter sort who are used to blocking ads with Firefox or fast-forwarding through commercials with their TiVos, it seems likely that blocking advertising in RSS/Atom files might soon become an issue. He goes on to post the responses from the authors of PulpFiction, FeedDemon, and NetNewsWire. It's worth a read. And I'm sure the discussion will be interesting as always....

Is Hotmail Blocking Gmail Invitations?

Is Hotmail Blocking Gmail Invitations? 06/09/2004 10:57 AM

This could just be an isolated incident, but last night I got my first Gmail invites, so I sent one to my girlfriend's Hotmail account and it bounced. So not only may Hotmail be blocking the Gmail invitations (which, honestly, I doubt, but it's just shady enough to question it), but I wasted an invitation that I won't get back. Anyone else had this problem?
