Blogroll and new linkroll
Some shameless self promotion: I also started a linkroll (thanks for the idea, Nosemonkey!) which seems to be a quite popular thing to do nowadays. For the time being I will not comment the links because of a lack of time…and also partly because the linkroll is supposed to remind me of articles I still [...]
Generation Web 0.0
Slightly off-topic and unfortunately only in German. Here is a very interesting article on the attitudes of the German elite regarding Internet, new technologies and web 2.0. One example is the German Minster for Economics and Technology (!) Michael Glos who is not too keen about the fuzz on lifelong learning: Using a mobile phone [...]

from advertising slogans to yogurt….and the press got it all wrong Interestingly, British examples make up the vast majority of the list. Even though this does not come as a surprise, I cannot help thinking that this is planned negligence with a clear intention to misinform the public and reinforce prejudices. So who profits from [...]
