What's your .tel?
Published Friday, September 15, 2006 by Technology Monster.| A company called telnic wants to shake up the way we share contact information, by creating a new kind of web address for storing your name, phone numbers and address. And I'm sure it wouldn't be long before people started buying names only to sell them for a profit, much like cyber-squatters do today. Telnic plans to sell.tel addresses, if the proposal gets the approval of ICANN, but there's no info yet on how much a.tel address would cost. |
Google Vs. Microsoft, For Real

Experts vs. Collective Intelligence
Published by Technology Monster.| It’s a pretty interesting description of a long, complex process that relies of the work of the group but still bumps up against the “who can you trust” issues that we all face these days. While participants in collective intelligence often feel the need to demonstrate or document how they know what they know, this is not based on a hierarchical system and knowledge that comes from real-life experience rather than formal education may be, if anything, more highly valued. |
