		<description><![CDATA[Internet sharing mechanisms such as YouTube and Google PageRank, which distil the clicks of millions of people into recommendations, may also be promoting an online monoculture. Even word of mouth recommendations such as blogging links may exert a homogenizing pressure and lead to an online culture that is less democratic and less equitable, than offline [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw The Dark Knight last night (in IMAX, on the front row, by Crom). I don&#8217;t have to repeat how purely awesome the movie is, so many others have done so already.
But it took me until tonight to notice an ironic bit of casting. The Mayor of Gotham is played by Nestor Carbonell &#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite my earlier, skeptical thoughts on the subject, I have been following Twitter (although not contributing a lot, I&#8217;ll admit) and starting to appreciate it.
Granted, it&#8217;s yet another time sink, and I haven&#8217;t found an actual productive use for it yet. But I still marvel at how spam-free it remains so far. Since you only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second &#8216;take-away&#8217; observation from Virtual Worlds 2007 is related to the first.
Second Life is the place to be. The media companies offerings will be of strictly limited importance because they are so closed; the corollary of this is that the most open platform will be the one to watch, and the most likely to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;m back from Virtual Worlds 2007, and I have a few &#8220;take away&#8221; observations. To start:
The giants are coming! But so what? The &#8220;giants&#8221; in this case being big media companies: Disney, Turner, Viacom, et alii. At first, they seem threatening, ready to take over the virtual world space with the sheer amount of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have fond memories of MP3.com, back when it was cool. Okay. waaay back. Yes, you had to wade through a boatload of bad music to find the few gold nuggets available; but frankly, that&#8217;s half the fun. Like a golfer who plays to recapture feeling of that one time he made a hole-in-one, the [...]]]></description>
