Norway's atrocity: the mental tunnel |... →
The deadly attacks in Norway are fuelling debate about multiculturalism, immigration, security and radicalisation. But more attention must also be paid to the behaviours and attitudes that underlie extreme political violence, says Sara Silvestri.

“It’s all nouns. But the future of search is verbs - computationally discerning user intent to give them the knowledge to complete tasks.”

Muy recomendable la recomendación de Ángel Ruiz:
Return to Good & Evil. Flannery O’Connor’s Response to Nihilism, de Henry T. Edmondson III (Lexington Books, Langham, 2002 -en rústica en 2005) es una excelente introducción a los temas centrales del pensamiento de FO’C.

Technology Review: How to Make Google+ Friends... →
A browser plug-in shows how easily the “big three” social networks could coexist.
In just a couple of weeks, Google’s new social network, Google+, has drawn an estimated 20 million users. For some, it offers the chance to “do a reset” on Facebook by starting over without the legions of unwanted friends they’ve acquired on Facebook. For others, joining means...
Steve Rubel: How Journalists Engage Readers on... →
Great and very thorough analysis from Facebook on how news organizations are using their platform to engage readers. It looks like the platform is being used more for consumption rather than engagement…
“In analyzing the volume of postings made by news pages, we saw that readers are hungry for posts - but have a potential limit in terms of engagement. A steady rhythm of 5 to 10 posts a day led...
To Tweet or Not to Tweet? →
You know that social media is important. Most likely, you have a social media strategy. But do your tools and publishing workflow support that strategy?

(…) “We are not sure whether he was alone or had help,” a police official, Roger Andresen, said at a televised news conference. “What we know is that he is right wing and a Christian fundamentalist.”
In the 1,500-page manifesto, posted on the Web hours before the attacks, Mr. Breivik recorded a day-by-day diary of months of planning for the attacks, and claimed to...
McLuhan, en su centenario, recordado como... →
McLuhan is rightly celebrated as a scholar of communications and mass culture, but his ideas about communication and religion, which is at the heart of culture, are generally neglected. As a devout convert to Catholicism, a man who went to Mass daily, prayed the rosary with family every night, and rose early to read the scriptures, McLuhan’s religious thinking is essential to understanding...
Huffington Post writer who ‘over-aggregated’... →
Amy Lee, the Huffington Post writer who was suspended for “over-aggregating” a post, is back, Huffington spokesman Mario Ruiz told me today via email:
“We have completed an internal review of the process and policies relating to the publication of stories on HuffPost, and are pleased to welcome Amy Lee back to our newsroom. We are confident in her abilities and look forward to her...
McCoy: el Apocalipsis ha venido y nadie sabe cómo... →
(…) Impossible is nothing. McCoy ha defendido, a lo largo de la gestación de esta crisis, la imposibilidad de la ruptura del euro y la inviabilidad de una intervención de España. Ha sido la nefasta gestión de la crisis a nivel local y supranacional lo que, como señalaba Münchau, ha convertido con el paso del tiempo lo posible en probable. Sigo pensando en lo nefasto que sería la primera, no...
Is the Desktop Having an Identity Crisis? →
Both Apple and Microsoft’s new desktop operating systems borrow elements from mobile devices, in sometimes confusing ways.
Apple is widely expected to unveil a major update this week to OS X Lion, its operating system for desktop and laptop computers. Microsoft, meanwhile, is working on an even bigger overhaul of Windows, with a version called Windows 8.
Both new operating systems...
Editorial de El Pais y uso de las personas... →
Asi dicen las dos últimas frases del editorial de El Pais:
(…) Si de verdad Rodríguez Zapatero quiere rendir un último servicio a su país, debe hacerlo abandonando el poder cuanto antes y reconociendo la urgencia de que nuestro Gobierno recupere la credibilidad perdida. Los españoles en su conjunto, y los votantes socialistas en particular, se lo agradecerán.
Quiza si dijera “se...
Stain From Tabloids Rubs Off on a Cozy Scotland... →
Police officials had assured Parliament, judges, lawyers and the public that there was no evidence of broad hacking.
For nearly four years they lay piled in a Scotland Yard evidence room, six overstuffed plastic bags gathering dust and little else.
Inside was a treasure-trove of evidence: 11,000 pages of handwritten notes listing nearly 4,000 celebrities, politicians, sports stars, police...
80-year-old Murdoch – who has conducted himself... →
Did he think it wise to have his arm about Brooks as they both smiled for the cameras within a day of 200 employees being dismissed?
Did he believe that trying to manage the news with injudicious leaks was a clever manoeuvre in the face of such a welter of negative information emerging about the company on an hourly basis?
Did he care at all about the years of deceit that have been the...

Open Democracy: Murdochgate, the Cameron project... →
This week has been a seismic moment in British politics and public life. Not just for Rupert Murdoch and News International, but for much deeper and serious issues about the condition of British democracy and about who has power and influence in contemporary society. In short, this goes to the heart of what the British state has become and to the role of our political classes in all of this.

… [It seems that] the present U.S. administration intends to use the Espionage Act to prosecute Wikileaks, and in so doing, to criminalize any form of journalism disclosing confidential information unfavourable to the official propaganda of the U.S. government…

Es un error común comparar la televisión e... →
Tiene razón José María Álvarez Monzoncillo cuando dice esto. Y cuando añade:
Al contrario, uno de los principales usos de la Red es, precisamente, ver televisión. Eso sí, en otros soportes y con el individuo mandando.
(…) La televisión de masas la hicieron los políticos y los anunciantes mediante un amplio consenso social, pero la televisión por la Red la harán los usuarios. Las nuevas...

HOW CAN I not be optimistic? The media ecosystem of the future will be more diverse and sustainable than the highly concentrated (and now rapidly evolving) ecosystem we’ve had for the past half-century. (…)

Rupert Murdoch’s News International just announced its decision to close News of the World, the paper that’s been accused of hiring private investigators to hack into cell phones and staging a widespread cover-up to conceal it.
We’ve invited two esteemed journalists who’ve been covering the story to guest edit our #MuckReads feature for the day: Don Van Natta, Jr. (@dvnjr), investigative...
Experiments on Google+ and Twitter Influencing... →
The mystery began on July 3rd when Google Realtime Search went dark. The next day we learned that the underlying cause was Google losing access to its special Twitter data feed.
The source of the disagreement is unclear, but the effects have been immediate. Realtime Search disappeared - all of it, not just the part that relied on Twitter. This included Realtime results from Google News, Blog...

What’s the Latest Development?
Researchers at Cambridge University’s Engineering Design Centre asked 63 families from around the world to keep a weekly diary of their hour-by-hour use of communication technology. The results of the survey found that, “38 per cent of 10-14 year olds felt that too much [technology] could be upsetting; 34 per cent of 25-34 reported feeling...

Renowned American intellectual accuses the Venezuelan leader of concentrating too much power in his own hands.
Hugo Chávez has long considered Noam Chomsky one of his best friends in the west. He has basked in the renowned scholar’s praise for Venezuela’s socialist revolution and echoed his denunciations of US imperialism.
Venezuela’s president, who hasrevealed that he has...

ELI PARISER is worried. Why? Call a friend in another city or a foreign country, and ask them to Google something at the same time as you. The results will be different, because Google takes your location, your past searches and many other factors into account when you type...

[AFP] L’Osservatore Romano, llamado ‘el diario del Papa’, festejará el viernes sus 150 años, una larga carrera dedicada a defender al sumo pontífice y a difundir sus posiciones, con una reciente evolución hacia una mayor libertad de expresión.
