Is Trouble Brewing for Our Beloved Clipmarks?

clipper's remarks: Keep your eye on this issue. See my related clip illustrating the AP's software protection solution.

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

Taking a new hard line that news articles should not turn up on search engines and Web sites without permission, The Associated Press said Thursday that it would add software to each article that shows what limits apply to the rights to use it, and that notifies The A.P. about how the article is used.

Tom Curley, The A.P.’s president and chief executive, said the company’s position was that even minimal use of a news article online required a licensing agreement with the news organization that produced it. In an interview, he specifically cited references that include a headline and a link to an article, a standard practice of search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo, news aggregators and blogs.

Asked if that stance went further than The A.P. had gone before, he said, “That’s right.” The company envisions a campaign that goes far beyond The A.P., a nonprofit corporation. It wants the 1,400 American newspapers that own the company to join the effort and use its software.

Google shuts down anti-Torture site..!

Google shuts down antitorture activist's YouTube account

Google may not be evil, but it's not much interested in fighting it, either. At least, that seems to be the takeaway after Google-owned YouTube shut down award-winning journalist and antitorture activist Wael Abbas's account. Abbas had uploaded nearly 100 clips depicting police brutality, voting irregularities and antigovernment demonstrations in Egypt. And last year, some of Abbas's clips of police brutality against an Eygptian bus driver lead to the conviction of two policemen who were sentenced to three years in jail. But for now, Abbas's YouTube account reads, "This account is suspended."

The evolution of YouTube

At First, Funny Videos. Now, a Reference Tool.

FACED with writing a school report on an Australian animal, Tyler Kennedy began where many students begin these days: by searching the Internet

He searched for information about the platypus on YouTube.

when Tyler gets stuck on one of his favorite games on the Wii, he searches YouTube for tips on how to move forward

While he favors YouTube for searches, he said he also turns to Google from time to time.

Tyler’s way of experiencing the Web — primarily through video — may not be mainstream, at least not yet. But his use of YouTube as his favorite search engine underscores a shift that is much broader than the quirky habits of children.

The explosion of all types of video content on YouTube and other sites is quickly transforming online video from a medium strictly for entertainment and news into one that is also a reference tool

In November, Americans conducted nearly 2.8 billion searches on YouTube, about 200 million more than on Yahoo

Google still kicking Yahoo and Microsoft's ass!

clipper's remarks: The part I actually find most surprising is that over 40% of the U.S. search market doesn't use Google. But considering how hard Microsoft and Yahoo are trying to catch them, it's amazing that they haven't been able to make any progress.

Google Inc. increased its lead in the U.S. Internet search market in November at the expense of both Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp., according to data released Thursday by Nielsen Online.

If you couldn't get a satisfying mail account at Yahoo Mail, Hotmail or Gmail, you can now get it at live.com. Although it's not yet official, it's quite easy to get a mail address like your.name@live.com.

You have to create a new account, press "sign up", then copy the location of this link and paste it in the address bar of the window where you loaded the page from live.com. Now you'll have live.com and a list of other localized domains for you to choose from.

Gmail Users are Younger, Richer, Good in Bed

Sat, 12 May 2007 12:53:40 GMT

clipped by: kwonsu

Clip Source: mashable.com

Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the latest stats show that Gmail users skew younger and richer than those on Yahoo Mail and Hotmail.

However, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail are still much bigger by comparison, says Hitwise: Yahoo had 13x the market share, and Hotmail had 6x the marketshare of Gmail.

The good news, if you’re a Gmail user, is that you may be part of the elite: while Yahoo and Hotmail users are decidedly average, Gmail users tend to be young, have a high income, and be early adopters of technology. 54% of users are between 18 and 34, while 18% have an average annual household income between $100,000 and $149,999 (compared to 15% for Hotmail and 13% for Yahoo Mail). Another stat, probably related to the young age of GMail users: they’re more likely to be Facebook users than those on the other services.

As for performance in the bedroom - well, we kinda lied. In fact, the stats show that solitary Gmail users are far more likely to Google themselves.
