Have you received a fax advertising a “Florida Bahama’s Cruise” for $398 pp? If so, read on.
Under federal law (Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, 47 U.S. Code 227), it is illegal to send unsolicited commercial faxes. The definition, in my opinion, is broad enough to include junk email (AKA “spam”), but IANAL and that’s [...]
Google, Others Syndicating Video Into The Long Tail
Posted by: kegill on: 21 July 2008
VideoNuze tells us that Google is planning to provide ad-supported “high-quality video” (from Fox’s “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane) to affiliated websites. For free. The websites help distribute the content (a long tail distribution model). Google, MacFarlane and the website proprietor split the revenue.
Lest you think only big guys can play, consider Jambo Media — [...]

Book Revision: Wikinomics

PenguinGroup tells us that Don Tapscott has updated Wikinomics (”expanded” edition, not “second” edition) with “a new introduction and a new chapter.” Great. But for those of us who bought the original book, why not make these two chapters available as a PDF for free or for a nominal fee?
I wandered over to [...]
The Faux Charge About Congressional Use of Social Media
Posted by: kegill on: 14 July 2008
Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) uses Twitter to communicate with constituents (and other folks). But according to TechDirt, he has been using that potent networking tool to “ignite a totally misguided partisan war, pretending (falsely) that Democrats are trying to prevent him from using Twitter.”
Technology and Wind Power; Pickens To Invest $12 Billion
Posted by: kegill on: 13 July 2008
ArsTechnica reports that NASA’s JPL scientists have identified optimal wind farm locations by analyzing eight years of global satellite data. And I missed this announcement: oil baron T. Boone Pickens (personal networth: $2.7bn) is investing $12 billion in a wind farm in west Texas. True to Texas mythology, it will be the largest in the [...]
