Interesting Experiment: Reselling a digital good

George Hotelling is attempting an interesting experiment for the digital age: reselling a song bought on the iTunes music store. The reason it is interesting is that he has checked the license agreement and it seems perfectly OK for him to transfer a file to someone else. This will be an interesting test of whether [...]

As pointed out, At the end of the day, any XML metadata wrapper around the content of our blog entries will do the job, and it’s trivial to transform one flavor of wrapper to another.. A large part of the purpose of RSS2Necho was to demonstrate that if you have an RSS feed, you can [...]

Small clarification: Microsoft IIS marketshare

Doc Searls points out in an email that Microsoft has not fully lost the web business, and pointed me to the Netcraft web survey to highlight that Microsoft IIS still holds a 27% market share, which represents big business.

Ask and You Shall Receive

Today, I was reading Reiter’s weblog and noticed his post on Verizon lowering its prices for DSL service. Out of curiosity, I called Verizon to ask them about it. It turns out that the deal is good for everyone, whether they are old or new customers. It also turns out that the bandwidth is 1.5 [...]
