I think Parr overestimates digital preservation of data from today's social media sites surviving well into the future or the ability of future researchers to find and sort through what does survive. - Liam Sullivan
Liam: My rationale is that digital data takes seconds to back up, as opposed to physical data. Back-ups of data exist, and unless the world experiences nuclear winter, the data will survive. Hell, it'll survive even despite because of server rooms shielded against EMP. - Ben Parr
President elect Obama will bring the President's weekly "fireside chat" into the 21st century by offering it not just on the radio, but in video on YouTube as well. It's as if the new populist President really cares whether the next generation has a connection to what he's doing. That's where the people are - on YouTube, on MySpace and on Facebook. - Leo Laporte
I agree and I hope he will, I have been reading Roosevelt Fireside Chats it is very interesting. We are at a very interesting time and crossroads I think, the choices that we make today will direct the global community of tomorrow for good or bad. - John D Reasor
It's great democracy in general that PE Obama use technology to communicate, connect and share. The fact that PE Obama may share more than the USA create is another story. - Johan
posted this on another: how come no one mentions they weekly address is already available as a podcast (http://www.whitehouse.gov/rss/... in English and in Spanish http://www.whitehouse.gov/rss/...) plus there is a section in the itunes store for the White House. in iTunes you can subscribe to the weekly radio address, plus the press briefings plus the state of the union. but i guess this all goes against the fact that obama is the first technologically savavy president - Jonathan Jesse
Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO) today announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a search for a new Chief Executive Officer. Jerry Yang, co-Founder of Yahoo!, has decided to return to his former role as Chief Yahoo! upon the appointment of his successor as CEO, and he will also continue to serve on the Board. Yang, 40, assumed the CEO role at the Board's request in June 2007, and he has led Yahoo! through a strategic repositioning and transformation of its platform. - Leo Laporte
Is this too little, too late...? I wonder if Yang will still have too much influence within the organisation. I hope Yahoo isn't beyond saving at this point - Flickr, Delicious, Pipes, and FireEagle (to name a few) are great Yahoo! properties that deserve a chance to develop and thrive and I get the feeling that they've stagnated due to poor leadership and vision from the top down.. - Andrew Terry

Remember using Squid Proxy with referer enabled to record all the navigation graph, and it was on the "Web 1.0" or it was "Web 1.0.1"? - Sebastian Wain
