Is The Contact Info You Provide Someone
Public Or Private Info?
02/10/2004 05:32 PMI've complained in the past about the
annoyanc
e of Plaxo spam. Lately, the more I've been thinking about Plaxo,
the more it annoys me. Though I've never had anything to do with the
company, and have never responded to a single spam, they now have a
database with my contact info that others gave it. Bambi Francisco
over at CBS Marketwatch has
noticed the same thing with Spoke Software, which she
finds disconcerting. However, I'm wondering about the bigger legal
issues: is the personal info you've given to individuals for business
or personal reasons shareable? Some say that all Spoke is doing is
collecting
public information. However, if the info was given to an
individual, is there a reasonable expectation that the information is
not public at all, but for private use only? I'm not sure what the
answer is, but I wonder how long until there's a lawsuit around this
issue. Personally, like so many other things, I don't think it's
something you can get "back in the box," but these systems do reveal
to me who is freely giving away personal information about me, which
could make me less willing to do business with them in the future.

Giving Up On The Internet?
01/03/2005 02:58 PMFor all the stories of spam, scams and spyware online, are some people
deciding that enough is enough, and
logging off
completely? The article just has a single anecdote, of one person
who has disconnected her modem, and then uses the rest of the article
to highlight all of the problems that have been discussed way too many
times already. There have been a few similar articles in the past as
well. It's pretty clear that there isn't a widespread rush to shut
off the internet, but it is definitely true that some users just don't
want to bother with the constant security patching and making sure
their anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-phishing, anti-hijacking and
anti-spyware software offerings are all up-to-date and working. It
still seems like most average users expect their ISPs to handle all of
this for them, but the ISPs are afraid to take on the role, knowing
that it's quite difficult to manage. There's a real market
opportunity if anyone could figure out a simple, no hassle way to
handle all of this -- but clearly, we're a long way off from that.

Andy Raskin wrote a long, detailed piece about Creative Commons for
the May 2004 issue of Business 2.0 magazine entitled "Giving It Away (for Fun and Profit)." The thrust of the artice is
a look at what the future landscape might look like for artists that
license their work under Creative Commons. The article also talks
about ways current artists are making money and what types of future
economies might be built around the licensed work.
Giving Ecto a try
Giving Ecto a try
02/10/2004 02:44 AMJust downloaded Ado's update to Kung-Log, called Ecto. Seems to have a nice
and easy set up, and the posting interface appears pretty clean.
Automatic spell-checking is there as well, which is a nice feature
too. If only it wasn't only available for this lousy Mac hardware. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If
IBM and Apple teamed up and released OSX on a Thinkpad T40, I'd buy one in
a heartbeat.
Anyway, that's not Ecto's fault. Kudos to Adriaan on a job well
done.

Giving away the index
Giving away the index
06/05/2005 11:35 PMMy final year project is due in two weeks, and I'm going
to be running on silent for most of them. I have, however, upgraded to
Tiger and playing with Spotlight
has given me plenty to think about.
Giving away the index
The great benefit of having an electronic version of a
book you own in dead-tree format to hand is that you can search it.
Publishers generally don't hand out free digital copies because, well,
they want you to buy the books, not freely distribute electronic
copies.
The thing is, you don't need a digital copy of a book to
be able to search it; you just need a full-text index of it (if you
don't understand what this means, go and read Tim Bray's series O
n Search). An index isn't enough to reconstruct the book, but it
is enough to answer questions like "on what pages of
Eric Meyer on CSS are float layouts discussed?"
Imagine if technical publishers made binary full-text
index files of their titles available for download, for free in some
kind of open standard format. Readers could query them using Spotlight
or similar technologies, and gain the ability to search the titles
they own all without needing to rely on centralised, artificially
limited services such as Amazon's Search Inside the Book.
O'Reilly, I'm looking at you.
Full-text phishing
On a darker note, one thing about Spotlight that has given
me pause is the immense ease with which it can uncover passwords saved
amongst my email. Lost password reminders, new account details,
invitations to sign up for services - they're all hidden away in my
mail archive. Spotlight makes it trivial to dig them back up again,
and offers the APIs for applications to do so as well. Combine this
with a piece of spyware / some trojan horse and you've got the
ultimate vector for phishing attacks.
This problem isn't limited to Macs either; Google and
MSN's Desktop Search engines could be used for much the same purpose,
and full-text search is bound to end up built in to Windows sooner or
later. For the moment, the safest thing to do is either delete those
pesky emails or move them to a folder that is excluded from
Spotlight's index. Somehow I doubt many people will think to take such
precautions.
And with that off my chest, it's time to get back to my
dissertation.

Giving the finger to an animal
Giving the finger to an animal
05/19/2004 11:58 AMA man got too close to a jaguar at the Rio Grande Zoo and lost a
finger. Before zoo employees realized what had happened, the guy fled
the scene. Apparently, it's illegal to pet the predator. After the
finger was found outside the jaguar's cage, police took a print from
the detached digit and tracked the guy down through his zoo pass.
Sadly, the frequent visitor who came to the zoo almost daily is now
banned. I bet the jaguar will miss him. "They're not your friends,
they're not your pets," the zoo director said. "They're wild animals."

Giving Thanks (a very abbreviated list)
01/07/2004 05:27 PMWell, it is 4:30AM and I'm completely awake - bright and bleary-eyed
This has been a tough few weeks, with both kids getting the flu (or
something like it) - and they got it consecutively - first Melody,
which knocked her out for a week, now Noah, who is busy snoring away
in the swing because that's the only place where he gets any rest.
Poor bugger, he can't even blow his own nose yet, so he's just plain
uncomfortable.
This leads me to something I've been thinking a lot about lately,
especially given the holiday season, and that is giving thanks. I
learned a long time ago that having an attitude of gratitude is by far
the most healthy thing for me, and especially in these somewhat
difficult times of newborn bliss, giving thanks is a great way to
remeber just how lucky and blessed I am. I was hoping to get this out
for Thanksgiving, but better late than never, and as anyone who knows
me well knows, time management isn't my strongest quality. :-)
So here goes. In no particular order.
- My wife and kids, just for being great.
- The rest of my family, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins,
nieces, nephews, everybody. Thanks for your love and
support.
- All the folks at Sputnik -
Dave, Art, Kathy, Scott, Tom, Bryan,
Tony, Jeff - Kudos guys.
- All the folks at Technorati - Dan, Kevin, Mike,
Kriszti, Louis, Brendyn, Theresa - you folks rock.
- Dan
Gillmor, one of the few voices in mainstream journalism who
consistently does great reporting on technology, media, and civil
liberties issues
- Steve
Gillmor, tireless supporter for metadata and new journalism
business models
- Dave Winer and the folks
at Userland for setting up weblogs.com, the granddaddy of the
pinger sites.
- Not to mention all the standards backed up by real money (and
bandwidth) that Dave provides. Thanks, man.
- Doc Searls - a constant
voice of sanity, wisdom, and good judgement. And the best knack for
writing weblog/article titles I've seen.
- Jason DeFillippo and his
wonderful Blogrolling
service.
- Ben and Mena Trott for producing great tools
- The USA. Yeah, even though this country isn't perfect (and
right now, we're going through one of those periods of collective
insanity), it is still a great country, and I'm grateful to be living
here - only by accident of birth - rather than in one of dozens of
incredibly repressive, war-torn, or dirt-poor countries.
- Evan, Steve, Jason, and the folks at Blogger
- Linus and the hordes of open source programmers out there adding
to the collective codebase. Thanks.
- The EFF, for its tireless work
and fight for our civil rights in
cyberspace
- Larry Lessig and the folks at
Creative Commons,
fighting to
preserve the public domain and our collective heritage
- Brewster Kahle and the folks at the Internet Archive, adding a
Library of Congress every few months can get wearing after a while,
thanks for doing it.
- All you bloggers - who (a) help inspire and inform me, and (b)
help make my current business possible. There is a rebirth of
civics going on, and you guys are making it happen (as well as posting
great kitten photos)
- Yahoo, Google, the New York Times, AOL, the Mozilla Project, the
Apache project, the list goes on and on. Thanks.
This just starts to scratch the surface of the list. I am so lucky to
be alive and to be right here, right now.

Geico Not Giving Up Against Google
Geico Not Giving Up Against Google
01/03/2005 02:58 PMLast month, Geico very quickly
lost
their trademark infringement case against Google, even if the
company tried to
spin
the loss and say it was a victory. Now, Geico is still claiming
that they're
going
to fight on with this case, saying: "We continue to believe that
the sale of our trademark is wrong, and we will continue to litigate
this issue." The issue, of course, is that Google isn't "selling
[their] trademark." They're selling positioning for anyone who is
looking for Geico. As we've pointed out plenty of times, that's no
different than the process of products being placed on shelves in
stores. Stores sell placement all the time, and plenty of companies
want to get placed near bigger brand names. The article also goes
into some details about the method Geico used to show that there was
trademark confusion. This was basically showing users two extreme
cases, neither of which they were likely to see in a real-life Google
search, and suggesting there was confusion. Part of this "confusion"
was that some users in the test would click on an advertisement for
other companies offering insurance quotes -- including quotes for
Geico. You could easily question whether or not this created real
confusion. If you're looking for a Geico quote, and someone offers
you the opportunity to get quotes for Geico
and others, many
people would consciously choose to get the comparison quotes. It's
not about confusion, but realizing they have more choice. In other
words, Geico's complaint isn't about protecting trademark (which is
just designed to prevent confusion over brand), but about preventing
competition.
