Fibreculture is an Australian network encouraging critical discourse on information technology and public digital space.
They have some great articles on networked labour in Issue 5 of their journal.
Niche hosting services
I’m doing a bit of a summary of niche hosting services that are similiar to Userzoo, I’m quite interested in different models for this, and what projects people have been able to achieve collaboratively with such initiatives.
Here’s an Australian one. They are currently undergoing two changes, one, a move to the United States for cheaper hosting, and two, a move to a commercial model, having previously worked on donations.
Ricoh GR Digital
I’m in the market for a high end digital compact, and am pretty happy to find that Ricoh have released a digital model of their fantastic GR range.
I’m in the market for a high end digital compact, and am pretty happy to find that Ricoh have released a digital model of their fantastic GR range. Rather than developing just another digital compact, Ricoh have designed a camera with the philosophy of the original GR. The GR Digital is a nod to the old skool, with full manual controls, a high quality fixed lens and a slim, unassuming matt black finish and a heavy, quality build. It shoots 8 meg RAW files with plenty of engineering trickery to ensure quality images. And this all comes in at just over 300 pounds, making it, as the GR before it, a working class rival to Leica. I think I might just have found my camera!
Google’s 2006 Jagger update
SEO after Google updates - a useful list of things that Google may or may not be using to rank you. The final conclusion is that trying to play Google can be detrimental to your search health, whilst lots of traffic and commentary about you (and from the right places) is a good thing. No real surprises here, but the list is interesting.
