Google Book Settlement 1.0 Is History

A new article by UC Berkeley Law Professor (she also has an appointment from the School of Information), Pamela Samuelson. She has written several articles for The Huffington Post on the Google Book Settlement that are linked at the bottom of this post.

From the New Article:

A memorandum submitted in support of the postponement optimistically observes that the DOJ had recognized that "a properly structured settlement agreement in this case offers the potential for important societal benefits" and that DOJ was committed to "working with the parties constructively to address concerns raised by the United States." It thus appears that DOJ will be actively participating in negotiations for a new settlement.

This is, however, pollyannish view of the situation. The GBS deal can't be fixed by tweaking a few details. Reading through even a sampling of the hundreds of objections to the proposed settlement, one sees an amazingly diverse configuration of opponents and a vast array of problems that cannot be remedied by minor fixes.

Much Much More in the Complete Article

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. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


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.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
