School Reaps Profits From Corporate Naming Rights

School Reaps Profits From Corporate Naming Rights
More evidence of the increasing incursion of commercial media into schools as we read of the "ShopRite (Gym) of Brooklawn Center and the Flowers Library and Media Center." I certainly agree that corporations should support schools. Only I think they should do it the same way the rest of us have to: through their taxes, and without what amounts to free advertising. This is an issue of fairness: if a corporation can spend its money to get its message into schools, then why can't I? My taxes pay for, at least, a locker. More...

A Prescription for Business Innovation

A Prescription for Business Innovation
Pollard's essay (in three parts: Part One, Part Two, Part Three) are chock-full of good insights, like this one: "With the advent of the near-perfect consumer information these tools provide, traditional marketing has no remaining role, and the knowledge-driven transition of power from producer to consumer is complete." But more to the point, his overall conclusions regarding the nature and structure of innovation and business are very similar to my own. More...

ISO Approves MPEG REL

ISO Approves MPEG REL
ISO has formally approved the MPEG Rights Expression Language (MPEG REL), formerly known as ContentGuard's XrML, the cumulation of what this short article calls an "inevitable" processs.

The Social Life of Echo Chambers

The Social Life of Echo Chambers
The capacity to personalize the web, or at the very least to locate smaller and smaller content niches on the web, has led to the sort of criticism described in this article, that "The Internet is a set of echo chambers in which people get together to talk with people who believe exactly the same thing as they do." The problem with this observation, notes the author, is that it's probably false. More...

File Swappers Win Big

File Swappers Win Big
A Canadian judge shoots at the music industry's legal case and leaves nothing but chicken feathers... woo hoo! "But then, after the industry's case was already weak and wobbly at the knees, he delivered the knockout punch: According to the judge, there is no compelling evidence that either downloading or sharing of digital music files is even illegal. In other words, regardless of the other flaws in the industry's case, the CRIA didn't have a leg to stand on in the first place." More. More...

More Corporate Blogging Resources

More Corporate Blogging Resources
The theme of most advice to corporations considering an excursion into blogging - if you believe, say, Microsoft's Robert Scoble or Six Apart's Mena Trott, is "be honest" - in other words, a complete break from the usual practices in corporate communications. More...

WebFeat technology powers ISI Web of Knowledge Cross Search

WebFeat technology powers ISI Web of Knowledge Cross Search
It is interesting to see Thomson's ISI Web of Knowledge in the race to archive and index open access databases. The service is now up to eleven databases and climbing. I think this is a good development - I have long argued that free online resources should be offered alongside commercial resources, and that publishers are doing their best to keep the free competition out of the marketplace.
