[Tvindy] One of the Better Memes: I think it's great that the book list is compiled by participants. Unfortunately, it's a bit suspect. The link to the source blog is dead, and I haven't been able to google a single entry in any other blog that contains this list. (With that many entries, one would expect it to be all over the blogosphere.) What I did find was this, so apparently the first 200 results were taken from the BBC's Big Read contest.

[Paul.kedrosky.com] Infectious Greed: Google & Invisible People: A Question: Anyone who has given over $200 to any federal candidate since 1980 will have their home address, job title, and company recorded on the site. And since data goes back to 1980, you can see where someone used to live and used to work. Some people use their business addresses, but many use their home addresses: Gwyneth Paltrow's home address in NYC is in there, as is the unlisted home address of the Pfizer CEO. Of course, you can also see the political affiliation of the donor, since you'll know whom the donor gave money to...

[Paul.kedrosky.com] Infectious Greed: To go full circle, all of this reminds me that way back when I ran GrokSoup (the long-ago blogging service that I way-prematurely shut down) one of my favorite features -- almost six years ago -- was one that allowed people to have articles sort themselves according to popularity, not date posted. There was a moving window, of course, such that you didn't have front-page news from days/weeks/years ago dominating forever, but it was still a nice way to rethink news so that readers could route around the perishability of content.

[Common-info.org.uk] CIE Thoughts: Driving in this morning, I listened to Lord Puttnam speaking on the Today Programme. He was discussing the findings of the Hansard Society Commission on Parliament in the Public Eye, which he Chaired, and this reminded me that I'd meant to read the report.

[Wam.umd.edu] Atomized junior- The Web log: There are always reasons to explain apparent failure and the cure inevitably is more de-regulation. The market has not just an invisible hand, it has invisible benefits to go with it. Part of this difficulty is in mistaking the cheerleaders of the market for genuine adherents - they make such convincing and stalwart champions it is easy to overlook that actual rigorous open markets is the last thing any of them want. They want their markets to be regarded as a private matter, of concern only among themselves.This they see as the existing set of players and any new entity willing to barter or bargain (but never break) into the game.

 [Ciquest.shef.ac.uk] The Invisible Web Gateway: Google in Daily Life: Although I did not find this report on the channel four news website, you may locate it somewhere in this site if you like. Perhaps this report is in the invisible part of this site! I also will write on the invisibility inside the sites someday. Also, my friend Hamid sent me some interesting links of Google about Google web alert system which is a sort of SDI (Selective Dissemination of Information) and Google's personalized search tool.
