Knowledge Is a Common Good - Transform Network The Effects of the Open Source Movement on the Development of Politics and Society Introduction In October 2009, Transform! For Transform! In this article my aim is to give a picture of the experiences which represent the background of the FCF, presenting some its salient characteristics and achievements. The Free Culture Movements What we call here the Free Culture Movements comprises a wide range of experiences mainly emerging in the framework of the internet and the digital revolution. All these movements emerged as a practical and cultural critique of what has been called “the second enclosures movement”4 the northern state-aided aggressive policies of extension of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs)5 to knowledge, culture, information, communication (and even organisms and data). The first to emerge and the most consolidated is the Free and Open Source Software movement (FOSS). Conclusion I will list here just three, in a very schematic and tentative way: Notes

21 Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity: How BuzzFeed makes viral hits in four easy steps Photograph by Michelle Gantner/www.maladjustedmedia.com Last Wednesday, BuzzFeed’s Jack Shepherd published an irresistible piece called, “21 Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity.” The post is exactly as advertised, a rundown of photos of people being more wonderful than you’d expect—rescuing animals from danger, helping strangers in need, expressing tolerance for others, and all manner of additional good stuff. When I saw Shepherd’s piece, my first thought was, Why didn’t I think of that? How does this one site come up with so many simple ideas that people want to spread far and wide? The answer, in short, is that BuzzFeed’s staff finds stuff elsewhere on the Web, most often at Reddit. Take that “Faith in Humanity” write-up. Once BuzzFeed had the germ of the idea, finding more pictures to populate its list was a matter of simple searching. After a bit of Googling for phrases like “faith in humanity,” I came upon Andre Bastary’s Pinterest page. This wasn’t always easy.

Exploring the 'Net and Star Trek with Pearltrees Over the past few days, you may have noticed that we've embedded a new tool known as Pearltrees in certain articles on TG Daily. As you can see, Pearltrees embeds a significant amount of supplemental information related to a post in a way that is easy to navigate, while giving you a chance to preview content before you even click a link. There's a lot more to Pearltrees, though. What does this mean for you? Well, you can "team-up" with people who share your interests to curate a topic, thereby providing improved context, more depth and high-quality information. "Obviously, it would be pretty difficult to find all of this content in any reasonable amount of time using Google or another search tool," Pearltrees rep Oliver Starr told TG Daily. "From my perspective, the advantage of using something like Pearltrees is that it harnesses the power of people - and particularly domain experts on any topic - to do the searching for you.

British Medical Journal: Statistics Notes Announcement British Medical Journal: Statistics Notes Perhaps the finest series of short articles on the use of statistics is the occasional series of Statistics Notes started in 1994 by the British Medical Journal. It should be required reading in any introductory statistics course. The full text of all but the first ten articles is available is available on the World Wide Web. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence is something every investigator should know, but too few do. Correlation, regression, and repeated data, Calculating correlation coefficients with repeated observations: Part 1--correlation within subjects, and Calculating correlation coefficients with repeated observations: Part 2--correlation between subjects provide an excellent introduction to the subtleties of analyzing repeated measurements on the same subject.
The Cat in The Hat Teaches SEO I’m going to be honest with you. I think rap music sucks in other languages. I’ve been around the world and met a lot of talented emcees in various different countries and I’ve listened to people rap in Czech, Japanese, German and countless other languages that I can’t speak. I might smile and nod my head just to be polite but – I don’t like it. What makes rapping in English so awesome is the elegance of the English language and its beautiful ambiguity. However for Search Marketing that same ambiguity is a gift and a curse. Ladies and Gentlemen I’d like to reintroduce you to the one and only Cat in the Hat! Like all inbound marketers the Cat in the Hat is no stranger to juggling many different talents simultaneously to get results.
