		<title>YOYOW vs. privacy and anonymity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Laura DeNardis, in her presentation for the &#8220;Technologies of Dissent&#8221; panel at the Access to Knowledge and Human Rights conference today, illustrated the dangers of too much openness and access to certain kinds of knowledge by pointing to eightmaps.com, a mashup of Google Maps and donor data for the Prop 8 anti-same-sex-marriage campaign in California: [...]

		<title>&#8220;Minds for Sale&#8221; (or, &#8220;Clickworkers of the world, unite!&#8221;)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This recent lecture by Jonathan Zittrain is long, but well worth it.  It&#8217;s about various forms of crowdsourcing and clickwork, and their scary potential for exploitation, political manipulation, political repression, and other bad stuff, related to what I&#8217;ve blogged about Demand Media vs. Wikimedia and the psychology of fun and games.
The send-up of Wikipedians and [...]

		<title>Demand Media vs. Wikimedia: the battle for the soul of the Internet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s one company I&#8217;ve been talking about more than any other lately: (the demonic) Demand Media http://jr.ly/mmzt and http://jr.ly/mxtp
-Jay Rosen on Twitter, 27 November 2009

When journalism professor and media critic Jay Rosen discusses Demand Media and its business model, he always includes the parenthetical adjective demonic.  Demand Media is the answer to the question, what [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I have a bunch of ideas for more &#8220;Wikipedia in Theory&#8221; posts, but I&#8217;ve been too busy to write any of them lately.  So maybe if I jot down some of the ideas, I&#8217;ll get around to them before I forget about them.

		<title>Flickr, Getty Images, and revoking CC licenses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Flickr started a program earlier this year with Getty Images, in which Getty staff find great photographers and ask them to put some of their work into the Flickr Collection on Getty Images, so that Getty can sell rights to the images and pay the photographers when their photos get licensed.  As the Flickr blog [...]

		<title>On the Internet, anyone can be a historian</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Washington Post has a flattering profile of a young Wikipedian, Adam Lewis, who worked on the article for Washington, D.C. The punchline comes a few paragraphs in:
Lewis joined thousands of other amateurs toiling in obscurity on Wikipedia, where facts are more important than the star historians who tend to dominate the popular view of [...]

		<title>Wikipedia in Theory (psychology of fun and games edition)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last Wikipedia in Theory post, in which I looked at game theory and experimental economics, David Gerard commented:
People edit Wikipedia because it’s fun. What is the economic motivation to buy music or play WoW? The theory’s out there.
But what, exactly, is that theory?  What makes Wikipedia fun?  Is that the same thing that [...]

		<title>How freely licensed photos generally get used (a sequel)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last year, I blogged about how freely licensed photos are used and misused across the web.  Figuring out how my photos are being used (as long as I&#8217;m being credited by name) is much easier now with the Google search options (rolled out in May 2009 and with more options added just this month), which [...]

		<title>Wikipedia and Olympics Committee heading for collision?</title>

It turns out that my Usain Bolt [...]
