When government officials talk about information “transparency,” they don't mean augmented reality (AR). But AR will play a major role in enhancing government transparency, although it won't be welcomed by many officials.

You can’t judge a book by its cover, unless you’re the recipient of an email newsletter, in which case hitting the “Delete” button can be done with ease. Having an effective layout is essential to increasing the open and click-through rates of your mailer. Let’s take a look at a few basics of e-newsletter layout.

Setting up a corporate Website is truly a juggling act: One tries to balance corporate needs with the ever-changing needs and desires of the seemingly random Webpage visitor. Something that worked perfectly yesterday doesn’t work or is out of fashion today.

Internet Anonymity: A Gray Area

11|6|09   |   2:45   |   2 comments


Is there such a thing as complete anonymity on the Internet? It is something of a philosophical question, but the consensus among experts seems to be 'No.' However, there are degrees of anonymity, which might be more practical for most people – and more necessary than ever before.

11|6|09   |   1:46   |   No comments


A digital content market is emerging. Only two things are known about it: the first is that at some point the Internet will primarily become a paid network. The second known factor is that there are innumerable variables in the digital content market that have yet to be worked out. It’s not known, for example, exactly how users will pay for content (micropayments, subscriptions, bartering of farm animals, other).

Developers Take Google to Task

The Google backlash continues. After seeing their Project 10^100 submissions disappear into the bowels of a Google server farm, a group of irate developers has started their own site to re-collect and vote on the ideas.

Net Neutrality & UFOs

The government secrets of UFOs are hidden in Area 51, so where are the secrets of net neutrality hidden, Area 52? Nope, they're hidden in Paragraph 148 – and they're a lot more substantive than UFOs!

Bad news! By eliminating the world’s digital divide we’re likely to create a new divide: the information divide, where we end up creating a two-tier Internet where access to 'quality' content is controlled and charged for by mega-corporations, and the gulf between information haves and have-nots is entirely dependent on how much money they have. This is, of course, an almost exact inversion of the current situation on the Internet – where access is expensive and content is free.

Web 2.0 – Just Being There Isn't Enough

11|3|09   |   2:15   |   4 comments


As enterprises leap into the Web 2.0 world of blogging, commenting, and social networking, just 'being there' won't deliver ROI. You may want a 'Web Evangelist' to systematically harvest the feedback in order to polish your product or service.
