To offer a quick update on yesterday’s post regarding The Richter Scales’ “Here Comes Another Bubble” video, the video has been reuploaded to YouTube and is now available for viewing again.

Typically, I don’t comment on ongoing controversies, especially ones that I’ve already talked about on the Copyright 2.0 Show.
However, the Lane Hartwell controversy does not seem prepared to end. With the flames already fanned by some of the most popular bloggers, the debate rages on as Hartwell released her much-anticipated statement yesterday and the division [...]

Spam bloggers are no longer content on scraping entries [...]

Web startup Attributor, previously covered here, has announced the launch of their content monitoring and analysis platform and is openly accepting customers for their service.
