Strange billboard on the northbound expressway to Din Daeng. It appears to be an ad promoting businesses to rent the billboard and pointing out the position of letters is important. A billboard on the other side says "DOG GOD."

Information Cannot be Owned


Apart from technology, the information age has up to now badly served its idol. It has failed sufficiently to recognize specific features of information. This is shown with respect to the question whether legal rights on information can take the form of ownership. The answer is negative considering that communication by its very nature is free and constitutes a basic value, and furthermore that law is itself information and cannot systematically dispose of information flows. Analyzing the phenomenon of information, the differences of its properties as compared with those of a physical object are illustrated and assessed as fundamental; ownership would therefore be for information a Procrustean bed leading to mere arbitrariness. Intellectual property, although granting exclusive rights concerning information is not by itself opposed to these findings. But the conflict arises, if its purpose of shaping competitive advantages is spoiled to the detriment of information flows by lack of neutrality in two senses: the lack of balance between the title holder’s value generation and the reward, and of neutrality towards the various kinds of communicative relationships.

Prominenz in der Blogosphäre


Seit kurzem bietet Intelliseek die Suchmaschine BlogPulse an, mit der sich nicht nur ein Teil der Blogosphäre - angeblich über eine Million Blogs - durchsuchen lässt, sondern die eben auch die Trends, Themen, Personen und Links angibt, die in den Blogs dominieren.

Die Anbieter machen ihre Suchmaschine mit der Behauptung schmackhaft, dass die Blogger "eine progressive, einflussreiche und meinungsstarke Gruppe" sind. Die von der Werbung als begehrten Meinungsmacher, deren "Einsichten als Vorboten dessen dienen können, was in den Köpfen der Allgemeinheit, der Konsumenten, der Wähler - jeden Einzelnen und jeder Gruppe angesagt ist, die im Internet aktiv sind."

Software Makes It Easy to Begin Blogging


After years of seeing friends, co-workers and strangers start Web journals on current events and everyday life, I decided it was time to try blogging myself. The Pew Internet and American Life Project finds that blog readers outnumber blog creators by a 7 to 2 ratio. But with blogging software so easy to use, I really had no excuse, except perhaps a lack of time.
