| Singapore Blog Investigation |

Singapore's police investigation of an Internet
blogger who posted cartoons mocking Jesus Christ shows the
city-state has scant regard for media independence, a press
freedom group says.
"It is not the job of the police to intervene in this kind
of case. By targeting this blogger, the authorities have once
again shown they attribute scant importance to media diversity
and independence," the Paris-based Reporters Without Borders
(RSF) said in a statement.

Robin Good has posted a good view of Collaboration Online:
New communication technology is making it less a one-way
publishing vehicle and more a platform for two-way communication,
collaboration and innovation. In this chapter, we discuss
these new technologies – from RSS, to wikis to blogs –
and whether you should integrate them into your intranet.

| Mozilla Takes Position on Feed Icon |
06/19/2006
|
|
|
Mozilla's Leadership has taken a position on
the "common RSS feed icon":
There have been some questions about the RSS icon and trademark
protection. The Mozilla Foundation filed a trademark application
a while back during the process of evaluating what course
of action to take. Same with creating a trademark license
to see what it would look like.
After looking at this, we all believe that a community
driven approach is best and that trademark licensing don't
make sense for a number of reasons. So several things could
happen with the existing trademark application. The Mozilla
Foundation could abandon the trademark application. The Mozilla
Foundation could commit to managing the trademark only as
determined by the community process.

| Full vs. Partial Text RSS Feeds |
06/18/2006
|
|
|
Great piece that discusses Full vs Partial Text Feeds:
A number of experts have suggested that the only sensible
way to embrace RSS as an organisation is to launch full-text
feeds, allowing RSS subscribers to read the whole story (or
other message) within their RSS feed reader.
Yes, full-text is the first rule of RSS. But rules are
there to be broken. Full-text simply doesn’t work for everybody,
for a number of reasons.

Mozilla asks Opera to sign agreement before it
uses its RSS feed icon -
The Mozilla Foundation asked Opera to sign an agreement
on the use of its RSS feed icon in the Opera browser.
Earlier this year, Opera adopted the orange RSS feed icon
from Mozilla Firefox for use in the Opera browser. This after
Microsoft announced that it too would include the icon in
the next release of Internet Explorer (IE). There has been
an ongoing effort between browser vendors to encourage more
consistency between the various browsers.
For now Opera removed the icon in its latest weekly build
of the Opera 9 desktop browser, which was released today.

| Churches Using RSS |

The Internet has made spreading faith significantly
easier. In the past, community residents were limited to the
churches, temples and houses of worships that were available
within driving distances. Coordinating schedules with sermons
could be challenging for busy families.
The Internet has opened the doors to a diverse congregation
that exists beyond the traditional borders that communities
have become accustom to. Using technology as a communication
medium has not been lost on spiritual leaders and many have
embraced the Internet as a medium to spread their faith.

| Web 2.0 Victim Or Syndication Victim? |

Michael Arrington at TechCrunch reported:
"Blog search engine PubSub had massive layoffs today after
last minute merger discussions with knownow fell apart. It
looks like a shutdown is imminent."
However Bob Wyman of PubSub
calls him on it:
"No PubSub payrolls have been missed. We paid our full
payroll on May 30th as is normally the case."
Syndication can be a real nightmare for stories that are incorrectly
reported.
