Becoming a Participant 04/08/2005 10:25 AM

I've been totally grooving on Will Richardson's posts lately, in part because we often seem to be mulling over the same ideas and concepts at the same time. He's been blogging more about The Active Web (I'm more partial to his reference to Jonathan Schwartz's term "The Participation Age"), and I've been shaping a new presentation for libraries called "How to Join the Online Conversation."

All of this applies to trade journals, too, so I was happy to read the following from Will today:

"Amy Bowllan, who I met at Mohonk last fall, gets my vote for Rookie of the Year so far this year. She's really gone, shall we say, "blog wild" over at "Teaching in the 21st Century" to the point where just recently she even got her mother to start blogging. And the big news is that she just landed a gig as a blogger for the School Library Journal. How cool is that?"

Sweet! But you have the same question that I do, right? Hellllllooooooooooo, Library Journal? Paging Library Journal! Please come to the front desk and get your bloggers up and running!

BadBlue allows you to interpret your workplace (or school) sysadmin as damage and route around him. The way it works is, you install an app on your home, broadband-connected PC, and then when you get to the office or school, you run a complimentary app on your PC there. The app disguises and forwards all of your Web traffic to your home PC, which fetches and sends back the pages you're looking for, free from automatic monitors, filters, and workplace snoopers.

If this sounds familiar, that's because it's based on the principles underpinning Peek-a-Booty and other "hactivist" apps intended to give Chinese dissidents and other prisoners of censoring proxies free access to the net. Of course, the killer app for this is looking at porn at the office.

OfficeSurfer lets you surf in privacy from your office, bypassing corporate restrictions on specific web sites, defeating monitoring software, and preventing routine logging of your online activities.

Google Faces Another Lawsuit

Google Faces Another Lawsuit 08/18/2004 04:26 PM
Another lawsuit has been filed against Google due to the companies AdWords keyword advertising program. So next Tuesday Google will be heading over to a German courtroom where it will continue to defend its technology against Metaspinner Media GmbH.

Metaspinner claims that Google's AdWords keyword advertising program infringes on its "Preispiraten" trademark. According to PCWorld Metaspinner already "won a preliminary injunction against Google last November and is seeking a permanent injunction and damages." This isn't the first time Google has been taken to court for similar trademark infringements. Earlier this year American Blind & Wallpaper Factory accused Google that its search engine's keyword-based advertising violates its trademarks.

This probably isn't the last of these types of lawsuits, eEspecially since several companies use generic words in their names - e.g. General Motors. Because of this, Google could also be targeted for keyword-based advertising. For Google's ad program to be ever sucessful, they need to resolve these issues once and for all.

Man Sneaks Spam Lawsuit In While He
Still Could 01/05/2004 12:15 PM
I'm curious to see if anyone has noticed a decrease in the amount of spam they receive since January 1, when the new federal spam law went into effect. Personally, my spam levels are identical to what they were in the month of December, suggesting spammers couldn't care any less about the federal law. Of course, one of the (many) bad things about the law is the fact that it wipes out a variety of (stricter) state level anti-spam laws. I'm assuming this includes the anti-spam law in the state of Washington that let individuals sue spammers for $500/message. Luckily, Jim Gordon, appears to have filed his latest spam lawsuits late last year, early enough that the Washington state laws still mattered. He's suing a Pennsylvania spammer, Commonwealth Marketing Group, $500 for each of 1,200 spam messages he believes he's received from the spammer. He sent them a letter asking them to stop and they ignored it. The spammer's responses are typical. First they claim the guy requested emails from the spammer - and then add a cryptic statement: "our computers are programmed to identify him." Next, they turns the case around and suggest that it's really a "scam" being pulled by Gordon to extort money out of them. The firm's CEO also claims that their emails are completely legitimate and not misleading at all. He says this with a straight face despite the fact that the company's owner is currently serving a 15-month prison sentence for fraud. Apparently, the company pitches credit cards via spam to low income people, forcing them to buy a vacation package on the card. After they've charged the vacation package the car has $13 of remaining credit, causing the cards to be rejected anywhere they're used.
