from the end of last week is that Google has temporarily suspended its Google Print program to scan millions of published books in libraries throughout the US. Wired News has a balanced look at the story: Google’s Book Scanning Hits Snag. For my part, although I am convinced that Google will and should eventually do this, I think they should pay licensing fees to each copyright owner of books it scans and makes searchable. As well, I think the opt-out nature of the program (under the new terms) is obnoxious, and will probably land Google in court.
Tim Berners-Lee
on the read/write web. “The idea [of the web, at the beginning] was that anybody who used the web would have a space where they could write and so the first browser was an editor, it was a writer as well as a reader. Every person who used the web had the ability to write something. It was very easy to make a new web page and comment on what somebody else had written, which is very much what blogging is about.”
Aaron in SF:
Ed has posted
a blog entry and a couple of pics of the undressing of the St. James United Church in Montreal. I used to go in the stores there a lot – BMac was located there – and I was always fascinated by the church with the stores out front. I can’t wait to see how the removal of the tacky retail space changes the ‘hood.
I’m just back from
a vacation to BC and now I see that Powazek has written a very apt post: I suspect that I am part of a teaser campaign which will certainly be of interest to the families of the people whose marriage we went to help celebrate!
