Bente Kalsnes has an interesting post on the problems with "free" public data in Norway, which is often very far from free. She describes an environmental web project she was involved with for local newspaper group Edda Media: it stranded on a combination of lack of a coherent

Here's a great video clip from a conference I wish I'd found the time and opportunity to attend this week, the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin: http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2039518&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=

I know I write a lot about the wonders of the web, but it does of course have its pitfalls as well, and here's one of the best parodies of web evangelism I've come across in a while. Now, even though I read the Cluetrain earlyish

This piece is absolutely hillarious, so I couldn't help but share it with you. Here's an excerpt, but go read the whole thing. The author first deals with the woes of the music industry: "You think you were the first to suffer from your content
