Japanese Yahoo Auctions Will Require
Pause For Snail Mail Authentication

Japanese Yahoo Auctions Will Require
Pause For Snail Mail Authentication 06/21/2004 04:21 AM
Yahoo Japan is trying to prevent online auction fraud by implementing a snail mail authentication system for anyone who wants to sell products online. It works by mailing out an authorization code (via snail mail) that a seller will need to enter into a web form, before they'll be allowed to post their items for sale. This will, of course, make it less likely that the casual seller will bother to use their auction service. However, some are upset that Yahoo doesn't do more. They point out that this won't stop that much fraud, because sellers can use temporary post office boxes or other services to collect the mail and still remain unknown. Some of the other "recommended" policies to stop fraud are just as bad. None will stop fraud, but they'll make life much more difficult for legitimate users who just want to auction something off. As Yahoo points out in the article, they can only do so much to prevent fraud before it becomes too burdensome on legitimate users. While some anti-fraud measures are certainly helpful, in the end there are always going to be online scams. The real issue is that users need to be better educated on how to spot scams themselves.

A critical mass of photograph
swappers... 03/06/2004 01:55 AM

Everyone at ETCon had a Mac. Or at least pretty much everyone at ETCon had a Mac. And pretty much everyone was using the wifi network in the conference rooms. And - much like last time - loads of people were using Rendezvous to instant message each other in iChat as well as to collaborate on documents using SubEthaEdit. Also this year, everyone was taking photos with their digital cameras. But one thing surprised me - no one was sharing their albums via iPhoto. When I was in Los Angeles I'd bought iLife because I wanted to play with Garageband, but when I started playing with the various applications I quickly realised that iPhoto's rendezvous sharing could be really really interesting and cool in an environment like ETCon. I kept thinking that there would be a whole culture in photo swapping and distributing snaps of speakers, nicking pictures of yourself from other people's computers, finding ways to annotate your own personal experience of the conference with the distributed materials of a few hundred attendees. But there was no such culture there.

There may be any number of reasons why it didn't take off in that environment, of course. One possibility is that people feel different about photos than they do with playlists and music - more proprietorial, more nervous of sharing. Or there might have just been problems with the network. But I can't help feeling that it's a direct consequence of Apple charging for this particular update - and that the critical mass of people that you'd need to make an active subculture around that stuff will now not be reached...
