POPSClipmarks named worthy replacement for Google Notebook Love the last sentence..."Where Clipmarks trumps Google Notebook is with its sharing, by letting you publish your clipping for the entire Clipmarks community to see and comment on." That's a tip of the hat to all you clippers out there!!! Oh, and if they think Clipmarks is a worthy replacement for Google Notebook, just wait until they get a load of what we've been working on - coming soon!

POPSFacebook decides to bastardize its community "One thing we've learned in open source is that you must grow a community of users that support your product and sustain themselves. To maintain that community you have to avoid hyper-aggressive marketing."

POPSI'm a geek too! CNet includes my comments on clipmarks. I'd say "working with" rather than "working at" - a slight misquote ;) I met Eric G a few weeks back and got so excited about Clipmarks that I've been spending thursdays here in the office, brainstorming about how I can help build the clipmarks community and spread the word.

POPSBill Would Give President Emergency Control of Internet
The White House is supposed to engage in "periodic mapping" of private networks deemed to be critical, and those companies "shall share" requested information with the federal government. ("Cyber" is defined as anything having to do with the Internet, telecommunications, computers, or computer networks.) "The language has changed but it doesn't contain any real additional limits," EFF's (Electronic Frontier Foundation) Tien says. "It simply switches the more direct and obvious language they had originally to the more ambiguous (version)...The designation of what is a critical infrastructure system or network as far as I can tell has no specific process. There's no provision for any administrative process or review. That's where the problems seem to start. And then you have the amorphous powers that go along with it." Translation: If your company is deemed "critical," a new set of regulations kick in involving who you can hire, what information you must disclose, . . .

POPSObama could seize the Internet He seized ABC to promote his Health Care. If he can seize the internet, why should he not be able to seize the newspapers, radio, and TV. Does this not scare the hell out of everyone? The enemy is in the White House.
