Briefs: Microsoft Launches Windows Live Apps But What Happens If You Can't Download on Your Computer?; New Issue of U.S. Copyright Office NewsNet Now Available

+ New Issue of U.S. Copyright Office NewsNet Now Available
Main article: Bill Introduced: Supporting the Local Radio Freedom Act.

+ Microsoft Launches Windows Live (via AP)

The programs are "essentially a free upgrade for Windows," said Brian Hall, general manager of Windows Live at Microsoft.
The package includes Windows Live Mail, which can grab messages from multiple free Web-based e-mail accounts, including Microsoft's Hotmail, Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Gmail and AOL e-mail. The new package, launched Tuesday, allows PC users to read and respond to mail even when they're not online, just as Outlook Express, which Microsoft has phased out, did. The package also includes Live Writer, for writing blog posts, the Live Messenger instant-messaging program and Live Family Safety, parental controls for Web surfing at home. The applications aren't much different from test versions previously available.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.
