Associated Press: Fair Use Limits You To Four Words; Five Words Costs $12.50

As we wait with bated breath for the Associated Press to come down from the mountain with its own rules for "fair use for bloggers," Patrick Nielsen Hayden gives us a sense of what the AP considers fair use. Apparently, for quite some time, the AP has had up a page that lists out prices for quoting AP text.

Bezahlt mich!

Ich will nicht mehr arbeiten. Deshalb suche ich ganz dringend einen potenten Sponsor der für Dataloo bezahlt und es mir ermöglicht nur noch das Leben zu erforschen und darüber zu berichten. Ich dachte so an Konzerte, Reisen, Filme, Sozialexperimente in Kneipen, Sport und Sex, Drugs and Rock’n’Roll natürlich sowieso. Bewerbungen von Sponsoren bitte mit Angabe des monatlichen Beitrags (mind. 4-stellig) direkt an mich. Gerne auch Waffenindustrie, Sexbranche, Alkoholproduzenten oder irgendwelche Parteien – Ich bin eine Bloghure, bezahlt mich!

Blogger is One of Main Sources of Info for Myanmar Protest

Armed with a laptop, a blogger named Ko Htike has thrust himself into the middle of the violent crackdown against monks and other peaceful demonstrators in his homeland of Myanmar.

From more than 5,500 miles away, he’s one of the few people getting much needed information out to the world.

He runs the blog out of his London apartment, waking up at 3 a.m. every day to review the latest digitally smuggled photos, video and information that’s sent in to him.

Best Blogs of 2006 that You (Maybe) Aren't Reading

Every year around this time, I attempt to summarize what's been happening online by publishing my list of the best blogs of the year [2002, 2003, 2004]. But I abruptly stopped last year because the list had become annoyingly redundant. Yes, dear blogosphere, after only six (or so) years of existence, you already have your canon, created either through fiat, power laws, or meritocracy -- you decide!

You're going to see a huge surge of video link blogs this year, but this one has always stood above the others for good community contributions of quality music videos.
