"(..) This shows where the real money is. Not in quality reporting, but more in a product for a massive audience that translates into eyeballs (what a term) that, in turn, will be monetized — especially if you add a good layer of software algorithms to the product. (..)"

To provide website visitors with more choice about how their data is collected by Google Analytics, we have developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics.
If you want to opt out, download and install the add-on for your current web browser. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is available for Internet Explorer (versions 7 and 8), Google Chrome (4.x and higher), and Mozilla Firefox (3.5 and higher).

During today's SXSW keynote, social media research Danah Boyd, who works for Microsoft Research New England and is a fellow at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, talked about online privacy. Specifically, she focused on how users can navigate issues around online privacy and how developers can help them to do so.

Living Stories are a new format for presenting and consuming online news. The basic idea of a living story is to combine all of the news coverage on a running story on a single page. Every day, instead of writing a new article on the story that sits at a new URL and contains some new developments and some old background, a living story resides at a permanent URL, that is updated regularly with new developments. This makes it easier for readers to get the latest updates on the stories that interest them, as well as to review deeper background materials that are relevant for a story's context.

A reader can read full articles and browse multimedia without ever leaving the Living Story page. By expanding and minimizing various levels of details on various developments in the story according to the context, a lot of information is presented to the user on one page in an organized manner. Whether it's just a short update, or a deep analysis, or a feature story, a video, or an important quotes, everything related to the story is on the Living Story page.

Living Stories also automatically track the reader's interaction with the story, so that the new material on the page since their last visit can be highlighted. This enables users to quickly see what's new since they last read the story.

To see Living Stories in action, go to http://livingstories.googlelabs.com and click on one of the listed stories. These stories were created for a Labs experiment that ran from Dec 2009 - Feb 2010 by a partnership between Google, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. This open source package lets you create similar living stories on your own website.

A data protection specialist claims that users can gain control of their browsing history and have it protected by the UK’s Data Protection Act just by contacting companies such as Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft and telling them their identities.

While attitudes toward privacy can appear paradoxical, the seeming contradiction is really about something else: control. When people bare their bodies on Facebook or their souls in the digital confessional of Google’s search engine, they feel as if they are in charge. Not so, when the private embarrassments come to light unexpectedly. The subtle relationship between privacy and control has complicated things for marketers, too. Advertisers talk about having to move away from analog-era “push” tactics and embracing digital-age “pull” strategies, in which consumers are enticed into seeking information about a product or brand, rather than having ads foisted on them.

One web page for every book ever published. It's a lofty, but achievable, goal. To build it, we need hundreds of millions of book records, a brand new database infrastructure, a wiki interface, multi-language support, and people who are willing to contribute their time, effort, and book data. To date, we have gathered about 30 million records (20 million are available through the site now), and more are on the way. We have built the database infrastructure and the wiki interface, and you can search millions of book records, narrow results by facet, and search across the full text of 1 million scanned books. Open Library is a project of the non-profit Internet Archive, and is funded in part by a grant from the California State Library. We have a small team of fantastic programmers who have accomplished a lot, but we can't do it alone! This is an Open project - the software is open, the data is open, the documentation is open, and the site is open.

I think that there's something to be said for how today's youth are thinking differently than their parent's generation. But I don't think that it's simply "caused" by new technologies. I think that we're living in a society that has different priorities and I think that multi-tasking is more deeply prioritized than sustained attention by professional circles today. I think that we are being trained to be "creative" thinkers rather than productive doers and I think that this means that we are encouraged to draw connections between new things. I think that we are living in an environment that is structurally divided and that sociality is increasingly mediated. But I don't think that the technology is to blame. I would argue that we're addicted to our friends, not the computer.

Data, marketing, information, YOU - that's where the money is. Chris Rock the comedian said it best: "There's no money in the cure, the money is in the medicine". There's no money in selling you a one time boxed product. The money is in establishing an addiction that goes beyond asking you to come back for more, but promising you a better more powerful high, each time you contribute more to the social cloud. You might say, "I don't mind being advertised to if it keeps services free". But how much of your data are comfortable with being bought and sold? Your online searches for the last month? Sure why not. But how about your first name being attached to those records? (possible by cookie). Big business has commoditized your data, and it is now being bought and sold en mass, this is already an established fact. Don't get me wrong, I'm a user of Facebook, Digg, Flickr, etc. but I do my best to give post as little about myself as possible to get the most of what I want to get out of tho
