7 Bad Writing Habits You Learned in School | Copyblogger

  • Agree about long paragraphs, it's a question of taste. But putting lots of space does help readability.

    Long phrases: that's to be avoided most.

    N°7 is to highlight
    The freedom of speech that Internet gives is great, but the bad part is that anybody can act like an 'armature pro' - and all these spam comments are ego pumps ups, making things worse.
    Programmers are known to be bad at spelling outside their field.

    The advice I generally give is: write, then watch & listen to your readers. If there's no reaction - that's bad.     - ycc2106 on 2009-10-30
  • They labor under the mistaken assumption that there is an invisible standard of good and bad
    • But sadly, some don't seem to care at all. Which isn't good either. - on 2009-10-30

Does the Brain Like E-Books? - Room for Debate Blog - NYTimes.com

  • How do you prefer to read?
    A question I've been asking around. I know younger generations who don't like reading on paper - they digitalize everything.

    I generally prefer reading on paper. I feel I get a better understanding. But I like having digital for annotating and searching after.

  • Chinese reading circuits require more visual memory than alphabets.
  • I assume that technology will soon start moving in the natural direction: integrating chips into books, not vice versa.

Gov 2.0: It’s All About The Platform

But as with Web 2.0, the real secret of success in Government 2.0 is thinking about government as a platform. If there’s one thing we learn from the technology industry, it’s that every big winner has been a platform company: someone whose success has enabled others, who’ve built on their work and multiplied its impact. Microsoft put “a PC on every desk and in every home,” the internet connected those PCs, Google enabled a generation of ad-supported startups, Apple turned the phone market upside down by letting developers loose to invent applications no phone company would ever have thought of. In each case, the platform provider raised the bar, and created opportunities for others to exploit.

Addiction Inbox: Heroin for Heroin Addiction

  • A group of Canadian researchers has demonstrated the truth of a practice commonly used in European countries like The Netherlands and Switzerland: Heroin can be an effective treatment for chronic, relapsing heroin addicts
  • Using doctor-prescribed heroin has two advantages, some researchers believe. It gets around the problem of addicts who don’t like the effect of methadone and therefore don’t take it as prescribed. Moreover, as European countries have demonstrated, it brings treatment-resistant opiate addicts into regular contact with physicians and medical treatment professionals, thereby keeping them away from drug dealers and out of jail.

IEC - When is a kilobyte a kibibyte? And an MB an MiB?

mathematics dictate that the disparities resulting from mixed and incorrect use of decimal prefixes will become increasingly significant as capacities and data rates continue to grow. In IEC 60027-2, all branches of the IT industry now have a tool with which to iron out inconsistency and achieve mathematical clarity as never before.

Chris Shiflett: Save the Internet with rev="canonical"

There's a new proposal ("URL shortening that doesn't hurt the Internet") floating around for using rev="canonical" to help put a stop to the URL-shortening madness. It sounds like a pretty good idea, and based on some discussions on IRC this morning, I think a more thorough explanation would be helpful. I'm going to try.

A Guide to Protecting Your Online Identity

Prevention Tips

1. Centralize Yourself — Create a central online location so that you control what information is on it. Then connect from that central location to other websites.

Establish an online version of yourself both professionally and personally. Jansons recommended having at least one blog and a personal website with your name as the domain and being active on at least one of each type of social media service so they work as your online resume and base of operations. Then use all of those services as you wish and allow your presence to grow.

2. Know Sites’ Terms — Know a website’s terms of service, privacy policy and the terms under which you’re contributing content. Find out who holds the copyright once that content is uploaded.

3. Document Your Work - Back up web pages, make PDFs of your clips or other work in case the URL may change or get pulled from the website on which it was published. Keep sources’ contact information, interview notes, writing drafts and hardcopies, photos, video files and any relevant reference material.

archive image4. Archive Content – Add your URLs for inclusion in the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive. The database tool makes a copy of a Web page and stores it with a data and timestamp. It gives a physical reference for when the content was online and what was there.

As people get more savvy with social media tools, they may be less likely to play fast and loose with their online identities.

McGeveran said many people find their tastes changing about the amount they choose to reveal about themselves in public. He added that because social networking sites such as Facebook are gaining importance and reach, to expect more problems like this to arise and that the law will need to adjust in response.
