"The Hoxton Urban Lodge, where urban living meets country lodge lounging, opened in September 2006. With roaring fires and cool cocktails, fabulous linen and flat screen TVs, sumptuous duck down duvets, Aveda bathroom products and free WiFi. With 205 bedrooms, the Hoxton Grille Restaurant and 6 meeting and event rooms, the Hoxton Hotel redefines the urban hotel experience. Close to Old Street tube and the City of London, The Hoxton provides easy access to Moorgate, Finsbury Square and Liverpool Street and to match the understated feel of the area, it is the first up-market, low cost, high quality, no fuss, value-for-money hotel in town, if not the country." - Andreas Jungherr

"The government is increasingly monitoring Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites for tax delinquents, copyright infringers and political protesters. A public interest group has filed a lawsuit to learn more about this monitoring, in the hope of starting a national discussion and modifying privacy laws as necessary for the online era." - Andreas Jungherr

"Last week, a brief tempest in a teapot brewed up when Barack Obama mentioned in a townhall on his China trip that he’d never used Twitter himself. The whole thing blew by pretty quickly, largely since I doubt that too many people were genuinely surprised that The Leader of the Free World hasn’t played around with “his” microblogging feed. For one thing, Twitter barely existed when he started running for President, and he’s apparently been a bit busy in the intervening couple of years." - Andreas Jungherr

"Suspecting the book’s value as a resource in the future, I took extensive notes as I read through it — essentially creating an index of every substantive mention of online politics in the book, which I’ve reprinted below as a resource for y’all, along with a few links to relevant e.politics articles (the current edition of the book doesn’t include its own actual index, unfortunately)." - Andreas Jungherr

"The Pentagon already employs legions of elite hackers trained in cyberwarfare. But they mostly play defense, and that's what Naval Postgraduate School professor John Arquilla wants to change. He'd like the US military's coders to team up with network specialists abroad to form a global geek squad. Together, they could launch preemptive online strikes to head off real-world battles." - Andreas Jungherr

"If marketing mavens want to reach younger moviegoers when promoting their films, they need to embrace social networks or risk being ignored. That was the overall message of Moviegoers 2010, the first report on moviegoing habits produced by Stradella Road, the entertainment marketing firm founded by former New Line Web guru Gordon Paddison that hopes to assist film marketers in determining how to reach consumers over the next decade." - Andreas Jungherr

"NYU professor and Internet thinker Clay Shirky gave a talk Tuesday at the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, our friends just on the other side of Harvard Square. His subject was the future of accountability journalism in a world of declining newspapers." - Andreas Jungherr

"Networks, Crowds, and Markets combines different scientific perspectives in its approach to understanding networks and behavior. Drawing on ideas from economics, sociology, computing and information science, and applied mathematics, it describes the emerging field of study that is growing at the interface of all these areas, addressing fundamental questions about how the social, economic, and technological worlds are connected." - Andreas Jungherr

"Governments worldwide are starting to leverage web technologies to improve communication between government and the public. This video demonstrates how Palantir can be used to analyze public forum data such as blog feeds and tweets. In this case, Palantir follows ACT (Australian Capital Territory) Senator Kate Lundy’s Public Sphere initiative in an effort to understand how public opinion can contribute to state policy." - Andreas Jungherr
