Some interesting links for the weekend:
London’s best free wi-fi hotspots – Timeout: The type of guide I kept meaning to find/write, and suddenly it appears!
Email is such a blunt tool – Neil Perkin: Neil not only writes consistently great posts but always seems to find the perfect images to illustrate them, along with brilliant visual presentations.
Social Media is good for you – Faster Future: Nice post from Dave Cushman as a counterpoint to the shock headline-grabbing about how Facebook/Twitter etc are replacing the other scourges of humanity – the radio, record player, television, video nasties, video games etc. See also my earlier post responding to the social networking health threat…
Gordon Brown is apparently going to protect ‘high quality’ content on the internet – Cnet: For ‘high quality’, assume he means traditional media – and for how he’s going to protect it – he has no idea, or at least he isn’t telling anyone…
Swedish ISP won’t retain user data – Ars Technica: ‘Jon Karlung, the head of ISP Bahnhof, says that his company won’t turn over any user data to authorities because it refuses to keep any log files. That decision is legal—for now’. This is why I love the Swedes so much!
