Interesting stuff I saw online from Sep. 8 to Sep. 9
Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet from Sep. 8 through Sep. 9:
- SpinSpotter: unspinning online news? – "Looks like the Spinoculars are only available for Firefox at the minute. Once downloaded and turned on they’ll identify if elements of a news story have previously been identified by another SpinSpotter user."
- South Korean government looks to rein in the Net – International Herald Tribune – Yes, some comments are coarse and crude, words we'd rather not see. But at least we can see them, out in the open, and respond to them. We're not faced with a paternalistic or oppressive government deciding what's appropriate.
- Official Google Blog: Bringing history online, one newspaper at a time – "Around the globe, we estimate that there are billions of news pages containing every story ever written. And it's our goal to help readers find all of them, from the smallest local weekly paper up to the largest national daily. The problem is that most of these newspapers are not available online. We want to change that." Once again, doing what newspapers can't do themselves.
- iWidgets to Bring CBS Fall Season to a Social Network Near You – The tools "will enable audiences to watch full episodes of television programming directly within popular social networks. They will also be able to socially engage viewers with features such as sharing, polls, ratings, and contests."
