It seems we're approaching a new age here on the Internet. Instead being anonymous, faceless IP addresses, social computing and changing technologies have allowed the lines between the "real" world and the "virtual" world to blur. Web 2.0 helped create a world where your identity is revealed in bits and pieces as you share (Read More)

: We can't equate privacy with anonymity, that isn't the point. Privacy is about sharing what you want to WHOM you want. I actually think that anonymity may be a BAD thing on the Web, since people do or say things they normally would not or should not (hate that should word, but its out there).

: There is a disarming naivete about those of you in the developed world that is born of the same complacent smiley-face mentality that left you so shell-shocked by 9/11. It'll mever happen here. Love, peace, save the whales & all that drivel. Anonymity is a right we have to fight for - that's gonna be the new battleground. Because once they know all about you, they have the power of life or death over you. And, here in the 4th world, we know, REALLY KNOW what that means. Incidentally, if you live in Washington DC, you are photographed at least 100 times each day. In Manchester England that figure sits at about 145 times a day. Anonymity is a modern myth. And privacy is as much ancient history as the Mayan sun-worshippers. Wake up and smell the Hoover, boyz 'n gals.

You might have heard of Doug Engelbart, and you might know him as the inventor of the computer mouse. But you probably don't know that he is one of the most influential computer visionaries of all time.In the 1960s he and his colleagues were playing with concepts and designing systems that today we take for granted: visual (Read More)

: This guy is very honestly one of my heroes. His work was so pioneering for the time, so advanced, that words covering the concepts developed in his collaborative system didn't even appear for over a decade after his "Mother of All Demos." And as a bit of trivia, he and his team invented the mouse. THE MOUSE.So, did he get rich and famous for his brilliance? No, not at all. He was hired as an engineer, any patents that were developed by him went to the company he worked for (Stanford Research Institute) and he remains humble to this day. Hats off to you, Doug.

: @mugzy vgood:-) If you like reading predictions by scientists about how they thought the world would be in 10 or 20 years time - and you are into Internet, I think you will like this, as it shows the creative process from a concept of what it "might be like" and you the reader can mentally cross reference his ideas to the reality that eventually came about. The Author then is almost a Nostradamus, and you want to reach out into the past and say - "yeah, mister you were right, you are talking about eBay/Second life/on-line banking/VOIP etc. but it just hasn't happened in your time yet (as you are inventing it)...aren't you clever!" He gets a bit technical at times, but anyone that understood TRON (disney)can probably figure out what he's talking about. 40

Mashable!:
Twitter competitor Pownce is no more. We’ve followed the story yesterday: it was acquired by Six Apart, but not to develop the service further: simply to acquire the talented people that worked on Pownce. I’d like to quickly revisit the story because I’ve been following Pownce from day one, I’ve actu (Read More)

I’m constantly amazed at the number of articles written about how to gain more followers on Twitter. And the number of people who spend considerable portions of their day following this advice by trolling for extra followers and trying to boost their "numbers."Because like the current real estate mess that hedged on the err (Read More)
