Dystopia 2.0
Countdown to XMAS, and I never remember being so busy (I finished my weekend biz work at 9pm tonight), other than when it was height of dot com and I had 3 subjects at night to finish my Masters. And damn flickr/blogger lost my post over weekend :| So 2 ends of the dystopian Web 2.0 spectrum :
Time name "You" the Person of the Year in relation to Social Media : "Web 2.0 is a massive social experiment, and like any experiment worth trying, it could fail. There's no road map for how an organism that's not a bacterium lives and works together on this planet in numbers in excess of 6 billion. But 2006 gave us some ideas. This is an opportunity to build a new kind of international understanding, not politician to politician, great man to great man, but citizen to citizen, person to person. It's a chance for people to look at a computer screen and really, genuinely wonder who's out there looking back at them. Go on. Tell us you're not just a little bit curious."
LATimes.com on the Perez Hilton court case about use of photos : "While X17 has agreements with many gossip blogs — Pink IsTheNewBlog, PopSugar and SocialiteLife, among others — allowing them to post photos with proper credit and a link back to the X17 website, Navarre said she was tired of constantly reminding Hilton to credit X17 and had finally given up."
