- "Democrats
unveil a file on Romney: Tout exhaustive site as
online weapon." ... "The Massachusetts Democratic Party is launching today
a first-of-its-kind website that it says contains an unparalleled repository
of information about [2008 election Republican Presidential Candidate]
Mitt Romney's record that could be used against the former [Massachusetts]
governor in his White House run." ... "RomneyFacts.com
lays out a wealth of documents: personal financial disclosure statements
he filed as governor; policy proposals he put forward in his 2002 campaign;
several old campaign ads; and a unique searchable database of campaign
contributions from his entire political career." ... "RomneyFacts.com
is clearly a partisan clearinghouse, painting Romney as a "flip-flopper"
who has traded in the moderate Republican credentials he presented as a
candidate for governor in 2002 for a new set of conservative beliefs in
his campaign for president." ... "Its home page compares statements "Massachusetts
Mitt" made on abortion, immigration, stem cell research, and other hot-button
issues with those made by "Red State Romney."" -By

- "A
Quest to Get More Court Rulings Online, and Free."
... "The domination of two legal research services over the publication
of [US] federal and state court decisions is being challenged by an Internet
gadfly who has embarked on an ambitious project to make more than 10 million
pages of case law available free online." ... "The project is the latest
effort of Carl Malamud, an activist who founded public.resource.org
in March, with the broad intent of building “public works” accessible via
the network, and with the specific plan to force the federal government
to make information more publicly accessible." ... "Last week, Mr. Malamud
began using advanced computer scanning technology to copy decisions, which
have been available only in law libraries or via subscription from the
Thomson West unit of the Canadian publishing conglomerate Thomson, and
LexisNexis, a division of Reed Elsevier, based in London [United Kingdom]."
... "The two companies control the bulk of the nearly $5 billion legal
publishing market. (A third, but niche, player is the Commerce Clearing
House division of Wolters Kluwer)." ... "The Public Resource effort is
one of several attempts to make the nation’s laws more accessible. One
project, AltLaw (altlaw.org) is a joint
effort by Columbia Law School’s Program on Law and Technology and the Silicon
Flatirons program at the University of Colorado Law School to permit free
full-text searches of the last decade of federal appellate and Supreme
Court opinions." -By John Markoff

- "Wikipedia
'shows CIA page edits': An online tool that claims
to reveal the identity of organisations that edit Wikipedia pages has revealed
that the CIA [Central Intelligence Agency] was involved in editing entries."
... "Wikipedia Scanner allegedly shows that workers on the agency's computers
made edits to the page of Iran's president." ... "It also purportedly shows
that the Vatican has edited entries about [Ireland's] Sinn Fein leader
Gerry Adams." ... "The tool, developed by US researchers, trawls a list
of 5.3m edits and matches them to the net address of the editor." ... "Wikipedia
is a free online encyclopaedia that can be created and edited by anyone."
... "The site also indicates that a computer owned by the US Democratic
Party was used to make changes to the site of right-wing talk show host
Rush Limbaugh." ... "The changes brand Mr Limbaugh as "idiotic," a "racist",
and a "bigot". An entry about his audience now reads: "Most of them are
legally retarded."" ... "Wikipedia Scanner also points the finger at commercial
organisations that have modified entries about the pages." ... "One in
particular is Diebold, the company that supplied electronic voting machines
for the controversial US election in 2000." ... "In October 2005, a person
using a Diebold computer removed paragraphs about Walden O'Dell, chief
executive of the company, which revealed that he had been "a top fund-raiser"
for [Republican President] George Bush." ... "A month later, other paragraphs
and links to stories about the alleged rigging of the 2000 election were
also removed." ... "" -By Jonathan Fildes

"Factiva
CEO: Surfers will pay for news." ... "The chief executive
of content-aggregating business Factiva says that Internet users will get
used to paying for content in the next couple of years." ... :"In order
for publishers to continue to pay journalists they're going to have to
start charging, and that's a good thing. Valuable information has a price,"
Hart told ZDNet Australia on a recent visit to Sydney." ... "Factiva, a
50:50 joint venture between Dow Jones and Reuters born in 1999, aggregates
8000 commercial sources and posts 120,000 new articles every day, of which
some customers might just want two or three articles that that are relevant

"UB
library aid just an instant message away." ... "Librarians
at the University at Buffalo have responded to the needs of an increasingly
tech-savvy student population by offering live, online reference help using
an instant messaging program." ... ""Some librarians have been really excited
about it," [Jill] Hackenberg ["coordinator of reference and electronic
services at UB's Science and Engineering Library"] said. "They can see
the potential of using the electronic medium. Others are less comfortable
using the quick communication, and would rather have the face to face communication.""
... "Regardless of how sophisticated the technology becomes, most librarians
agree there is still a need for face to face contact. It's less a question
of whether librarians are needed and more an issue of interpreting if the
question being asked is what the person really needs to find out." ...
"Librarians learn to use more than just words and questions to help their
patrons. They use body language, voice quality and other subtle clues to
determine how to help." -By Tracey Drury -NY-Buffalo
