LOTS of stuff here, to make you smarter. Go rummage through the titles. Tons of stuff for FREE and all downloadable. :) I clipped just a few titles at the end (until I ran out of characters) to show you what sort of stuff they offer. Enjoy! .:)

POPSWhy does everything on the web have to be free? I often think about this and wonder why it has become so expected that services on the web are free. Offline, people don't question paying for things. Ring tones, iphone apps, caller ID all get paid for. But god forbid services like Twitter or Facebook decided to charge $5/month, it would be unacceptable. I don't get it and i think it hurts the web. Too many companies (including mine) that have compelling products can't figure out how to monetize them so they end up giving up enormous equity and control to venture capitalists because that's the only way to keep the lights on. Personally, i think we'd all enjoy the web a lot more if we paid a few more bucks each month for services we enjoy and it became much less about tracking user behavior and serving ads. It would also keep the innovators who create the services in charge instead of venture capitalists...wouldn't that be cool.

POPSFree Speech Ain't Free "Everybody gets to say their piece. That's the deal. Even if half the world considers that "piece" total BS. Face it, half of what WE believe usually turns out to be total BS. Beliefs have this nagging tendency to mutate over time. It wasn't long ago they burned people as witches for not thinking the world was flat. Wasn't it Cardinal Richelieu who said treason is just a matter of dates?"

POPSThe Question of Freedom at the Open Video Conference "Benkler argued that Open Video was indicative of an “open democracy for everyone, everywhere, all the time.” Open Video Culture, he said, would usher in the possibility for “anyone to express oneself, be creative and innovative.” Benkler also claimed that because “millions of people are now looking at problems” we will thus find millions of, “distributed solutions.” In this “free” culture, he continued, “human creativity would move to the core.” Aside from the seemingly naïve conflation of terms, exactly which society, which “everyone,” and which economic system did Benkler have in mind?" A very important read

POPSFree the United States Certainly, this history should make us pause. But therein lies the heart of the matter: if we pause to exercise our rights, we cannot say we are truly free.
