That's pretty crazy, but as one of the commenters said, he is a convicted criminal, that has repercussions. Could be a great opportunity for RedHat or Suse to sue the government on the basis of unfair competition though... :)

What will the next generation of social content look like then? Personally, I think the next "big thing" will be trust metrics. Wikipedia's challenges could be solved by a trust matrix. If users were given trust values (think eBay feedback,

Sweet service, you best trust them though, they could log everything, although then I guess their business would fast evaporate...

This is a great article not just about pitching to bloggers but sending press releases to anyone. The core of the post is a simple question, is your press release relevant? If not, save everyone's time and don't send it.

This is a really tough one. Google are already taking serious heat over privacy and other concerns because of the amount of data they hold on users. Facebook will face the same challenges unless they allow users ways to opt-out, even if tha

That is deeply awesome. Only of use if you want to listen to a window that you can hit almost perfectly straight on though. They have the two components at quite an angle, that wouldn't be practical if you were trying to be discreet...

Whether the affiliates would allow the revenue share is a valid point. I was thinking from the perspective of a community site. A site with even 200k active members in a specific field would have a good basis to negotiate a specific deal wi
