POPSTwitter Search to make broader sweeps Something significant is happening everyday. I found this out from an Ed Goldstein retweet of a Clip on Amplify. The self-signifying collaborative consciousness is at its baby-talk stage. Soon some form of grammar will have to evolve if any sense is to be made of the torrents of data.

POPSAre e-books the new newspapers? Trend Monitor was writing about newspapers being circulated using what was then called "data broadcasting". We brought out our own 'ebook' at the time designed to work with floppy disk. With wireless distribution, this could finally become the next big technology given the enormous financial and environmental cost of paper newspapers, journals, magazines and books. The way a subscription model would work is that publishers would (jojntly or singly) lease ebooks to customers as part of the subscription, so they would not have to pay upfront costs.

POPSBBC documentaries dissecting modernity Brilliant documentary series. The first is about how Freud's psychology was used both to create the mass market and fascist propaganda. Edward Bernaise must be the most important person that have never heard of. Click 'online' to see on YouTube. I don't remember seeing them in the main BBC schedule.

POPSYard Sale Nation (2) If they nationalise the banks, will they nationalise the farms next? It would be ironic if the US adopted a Soviet-style economy where people pretended to work and the government pretended to pay them. The problem is that people are willing to believe anything to begin with, but finally they catch on. Remember Lincoln's other great statement was "You can lie to all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't lie to all of the people all of the time." The new president has not quoted that one. Maybe he forgot.
