good post by Oso (David Sasaki) on open street maps. - Ed Bice

Software is becoming much more accurate as it combines the separate rules engine, translation memory, and statistical technique algorithms that have been used separately hitherto to support translation services. The combination of technologies is anticipated to create systems that are more accurate. These markets are part of a $10 billion larger translation market, forecast to reach $21 billion by 2015. - Ed Bice

daha boyd's controversial talk from web 2.0 expo--controversy overshadowed talk - http://www.zephoria.org/thought... This is good way of stating Meedan's work- "In an era of networked media, we need to recognize that networks are homophilous and operate accordingly. Technology does not inherently disintegrate social divisions. In fact, more often then not, in reinforces them. Only a small percentage of people are inclined to seek out opinions and ideas from cultures other than their own. These people are and should be highly valued in society, but just because people have the ability to be what Ethan Zuckerman talks about as xenophiles does not mean that they will be." - Ed Bice
