I am always online
“I’m online all the time,” Nick, 22, a senior majoring in international studies and religion, told eMarketer. “I’ve got it on my cellphone; I go on in between classes. It’s always on.”

Myspace angst
‘Angry members of MySpace, the personal file-sharing website for young adults, are accusing Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation of censoring their postings and blocking their access to rival sites. The 38 million subscribers to MySpace discovered that when they wrote to each other about rival video-swapping site YouTube, the words were automatically deleted, and attempts to download video images from YouTube led to blank screens. The intervention by News Corp in the traditionally open-access world of the web - in particular the alteration of personal user profiles - provoked a storm of angry posts…The protests gathered pace, and when 600 MySpace customers complained and a campaign began to boycott the site and relocate to rival sites such as Friendster, Linkedin, revver.com and Facebook.com, News Corp relented and restored the links.‘

Retrievr is a neat Flickr hack from System One that searches a database of images based on simple drawings rather than tags.

Montreal Mercredi Wiki Wednesday tomorrow
from Sebastien:
That’s right folks, tomorrow is the next Wiki Wednesday, Socialtext provided the ice cream last time, but doing that again here in January is rubbing salt on the wound, really, so we have a beer budget this time around.
Sign up on the wiki page. Given a bit of last-minute marketing on my part I wager we can get a nice bunch together. Each time I coordinate a gathering, some new and interesting people show up, so don’t imagine this is some kind of old-boys club reunion and do feel especially welcome if you don’t know anyone just yet!
You’ve read it, you are welcome. Comme vous l’avez lu, vous êtes bienvenus.

Uh, there’s been a lot going on at 43things since i last logged in. Learn geography with me, see what i want to do, and people i want to meet.
Hi, i’m the inventor of the World Wide Web
‘In 1989 one of the main objectives of the WWW was to be a space for sharing information. It seemed evident that it should be a space in which anyone could be creative, to which anyone could contribute. The first browser was actually a browser/editor, which allowed one to edit any page, and save it back to the web if one had access rights.
Strangely enough, the web took off very much as a publishing medium, in which people edited offline. Bizarely, they were prepared to edit the funny angle brackets of HTML source, and didn’t demand a what you see is what you get editor. WWW was soon full of lots of interesting stuff, but not a space for communal design, for discource through communal authorship.
Now in 2005, we have blogs and wikis, and the fact that they are so popular makes me feel I wasn’t crazy to think people needed a creative space. (i could put that in EXTRA BOLD!!)’
Tim Berners-Lee has the most incredible title someone can get - he is the inventor of the World Wide Web.
December 2005, he now has a blog.
Encore une fois, Émue. Interesting to go trough the 455 comments from people thanking him for creating the web. I for sure have to thank him too.

Mon seul post de la journée se résumera à ceci, trouvé sur le blogue de Marc-André :
Lu dans l’édition de juin 1971 du magazine contre-culturel québécois Mainmise : ” Tous les computers du globe, toute la science, toute la sagesse, toute l’expérience humaine deviendront accessibles à chaque individu. Chacun de nous pourra puiser à volonté dans l’intelligence collective de milliards d’autres humains, de la même façon que chaque cellule du cerveau humain puise dans l’intelligence collective de milliards d’autres cellules sœurs. ”
Émouvant pour mon âme de geek. Et mouvant.

They live online. They buy online. They play online. Their power is growing.
