There has been a senatorial foofooraw about an anti-flag-burning amendment, ably punctured by many, including John Scalzi and Scott Adams. However, at the same time, the Broadcast Flag has been slipped into the Telecom bill.The broadcast flag is a far more serious restriction on freedom of speech. It gives legacy broadcasters a veto over the design of future technology. What it most reminds me of...

Joining me in talking about Net Neutrality in video, here's one from Tim Berners-Lee, and one from Rocketboom. There is a proposal for legislative language that defines Internet service in terms of agreed packet protocols, and forbids calling non-compliant networks Internet. I've signed it - please read it and sign it too.Technorati Tags: net neutrality, Open Rights Group, ORG, podcasting, politics,...

The FCC has imposed Universal Service Fund taxes on VoIP services that connect to the legacy phone network. USF is allegedly a way to bring services to rural and low-income communities, but in practice is outdoor relief for big telcos. I assume that the telco lobbyists see this as a victory, but as it only applies to interconnecting services, those that are pure internet services now have an even...

Dave Winer managed to stir up a storm by capturing a video of John Dvorak confessing how he trolls Mac users for extra pageviews. Although Dave posted the video in QuickTime format using open codecs (JPEG video and 8-bit uncompressed audio), which should mollify Mark Pilgrim somewhat, the iPod Video won't play this. I converted it using the handy iSquint tool into standard mpeg-4 files. I present...

When I joined the BBC in 1988, my first direct manager was Ian Walukiewicz. When I expressed my frustration with management or colleagues to him, he explained it by a very simple principle.People take jobs to improve themselves. They pick things that are hard for them. So, if you hate people you go into personnel, if you are chronically disorganised you go into management, and if you break everything...

Mark Pilgrim has a thorough post explaining his move to open formats. If you care about preserving your data, you should go and read it. On one small point I may be able to give some advice. Mark said:[I spent] Years of creating content, most recently video content in iMovie. Home movies of my children being born and growing up, heavily edited and burned to DVD and distributed to friends and family....

When I dropped by Vloggercon on Sunday, I ran into Scoble and Furrier in the lobby, and said hello. They mentioned that they now realised they didn't need a press release. This matches what we do at Technorati - we just blog things ourselves. The press can find them.Scoble puts it this way:I talked with the grassroots FIRST. Against the advice, by the way, of a lot of PR people (they wanted me to...

Dave Winer got Dvorak to admit to being a troll. No surprises there - I discovered a while back that his columns are straight parody fodder. Deconstructing the Troll is based on this one and To Troll or Not to Troll, That Is the Question is based on this one.Technorati Tags: attention, bl...

I had an odd moment of cultural misunderstanding yesterday - I was speaking to an Open Media developers group and I said "Technorati is catholic in what formats it accepts" - and no-one knew what I meant. "You're the pope?" was the reaction.I quickly restated: "Would you prefer it if I said we were format agnostic?"Technorati Tags: meme, microformats, rheto...

Just after the All-party Internet Group moved towards a sensible position on DRM, the British Phonographic Industry gave confused testimony to the Select Committee for Culture, Media & Sport inquiry into New Media and the Creative Industries.Obviously, the Record Labels' official lobbying group is going to be self serving, but they do seem very confused by DRM, judging by their headlines:BPI reassures...

Susan Crawford is comparing the copyright debate with the net neutrality one:I've been working steadily for quite a while on a paper comparing the IP battles to the network neutrality battle. As we've all discovered, these are very hard issues. There aren't clear answers, although the social benefits of the neutral-substrate internet (like the social benefits of the public domain) seem to be ignored...

Cory and Rufus are encouraging us to sign an Open Letter to the BBC, badgering them about the Creative Archive. Something about its phrasing is a bit odd though. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, and then I thought about the curious love-hate relationship we have with the BBC in the UK, and I realised that they got the tone of sanctimony from the BBC itself.Last week's Dr Who starred Maureen Lippman...

Now we've announced Pingerati and Microformat search, I get a chance to reflect on what has been keeping me busy for the last month, and behind the hiatus in my writing here. I have been building a parallel infrastructure to our Blog indexing, focused on Microformats instead.Microformats are a way of expressing common kinds of things we refer to online in HTML, such as people, places events and reviews....
