Buyer Beware: What's New May be Old
by Brittany Creamer on Jul 17, 2008 - 03:50 PM read 37 times
Source: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=1734The same problems that plagued 1.0 resources like phone books and encyclopedias still plague even the best of their 2.0 successors. These legacy issues mainly regard reliability as it pertains to accuracy. After a phone book is published and distributed, it is instantly out-of-date as phone numbers are disconnected and addresses changed. Unfortunately, this is an issue developers have yet to circumvent. As documented in The New York Times' read more -

Source: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=1728In the last 20 some odd years corporate security has made some headway.

The current Jericho model of security ( ... read more -

Source: http://www.wikinomics.com/blog/?p=1718The folks at the Prometheus Institute* recently ran a great post on if the US Government were run by Apple… It's pretty humorous (and either slightly sad given what doesn't happen despite the available tools or slightly scary to think that Steve Jobs may be planning a coup). My favourites: There would be a three hour wait to get the latest $5 bill. It would also feature a ... read more -
