Are Newspapers on The Way Out?
09/29/2006

TIME Magazine posted a very interesting article about how blogs are effecting newspapers. I disagree with their conclusion, but believe they raise some excellent points in the article:

"I'm not sure what that new form will look like. But it might resemble the better British papers today (such as the one I work for, the Guardian). The Brits have never bought into the American separation of reporting and opinion. They assume that an intelligent person, paid to learn about some subject, will naturally develop views about it. And they consider it more truthful to express those views than to suppress them in the name of objectivity."

TIME raises the very important point about blogger credibility. What many bloggers do not realize is that once you post something that is not true, most will unsubscribe, while others will question everything that you write. I think that credibility will become something that bloggers have to earn.  Personally I am looking forward to the day that bloggers are held accountable for their comments.

Google News Goes To Court
09/25/2006

It appears Google is defying Belgium's court order to post a recent court ruling that said the Internet search engine to stop publishing content from Belgian newspapers without permission or payment of fees.

It will be very interesting to see how this ruling and Google's actions will influence the Internet and cross border copyrights.

Full Article

It appears Google had a change of heart -

Google Inc. on Saturday published on its Belgian website a court order which forbids the Internet search engine to reproduce snippets of Belgian press on its news amalgamation service.


The move constituted a u-turn as Google had said on Friday that it would not comply with the court order despite facing a fine of 500,000 euros ($640,900) daily if it did not publish the ruling.

A Warning to All Webmasters About RSS
09/11/2006

This article was syndicated to SiteProNews and is really quite good, while its presented with a tinge of humor the point is dead-on.

RSS is fast becoming an obsession for me.

I didn't plan for it to be that way. It just happened. I have been interested in RSS for a couple of years now but it was only around this time last year that I started taking a serious look at this little syndication standard that's changing how we communicate on the web. Really Simple Syndication. Simple phrase but it changes everything.
