Retin A Mg

[This review was originally posted at the Nieman Journalism Lab Retin A Mg, on May 21, 2010.]

Should Facebook be regulated?: It's been almost a month since Facebook's expansion of Open Graph and Instant Personalization, and the concerns about the company's invasion of privacy continue to roll in. This week's appalling example of how much Facebook information is public comes courtesy of Openbook, a new site that uses Facebook's API to allow you to search all public Facebook updates. (Of course, you'll find similarly embarrassing revelations via a Twitter search, but the point is that many of these people don't know that what they're posting is public.)

We also got another anti-Facebook diatribe (two, Buy Retin A no prescription, actually) from a web luminary: Danah Boyd, the Microsoft researcher and social media expert. Boyd, who spends a lot of time talking to young people about social media, noted two observations in her first postMany users' mental model of who can see their information doesn't match up with reality, and people have invested so much time and resources into Facebook that they feel trapped by its changes. In the second post, Boyd proposes that if Facebook is going to refer to itself as a "social utility" (and it's becoming a utility like water, Retin A blogs, power or the Internet, she argues), then it needs to be ready to be regulated like other utilities.

The social media blog Mashable has chimed in with a couple of defenses of Facebook (the web is all about sharing informationFacebook has normalized sharing in a way that users want to embrace), but the din has reached Facebook's ears. The Wall Street Journal reported that the issue has prompted deep disagreements and several days of discussions at Facebook headquarters, What is Retin A, and a Facebook spokesman said the company is going to simplify privacy controls soon.

Meanwhile, tech investor and entrepreneur Chris Dixon posited that Facebook is going to use its web-wide Like button to corner the market on online display ads, similar to the way Google did with text ads, Retin A Mg. Facebook also launched 0.facebook.com, a simple mobile-only site that's free on some carriers, leading Poynter's Steve Myers to wonder if it's going to become the default mobile web for feature, or "dumb" phones. But The New York Times argued that when it comes to social data, Facebook still can't hold a candle to the good old-fashioned open web, australia, uk, us, usa.

Are iPad apps worth it?: The iPad's sales haven't slowed down yet — it's been projected to outsell the Mac, and one in five Americans say they might get one — but there are still conflicting opinions over how deeply publishers should get involved with it. Slate Group head Jacob Weisberg was the latest to weigh in, arguing that iPad apps won't help magazines and newspapers like they think it will. Retin A Mg, He makes a couple of arguments we've seen several times over the past month or two: App producers are entering an Apple-controlled marketplace that's been characterized by censorship, and apps are retrograde attempts to replicate the print experience.

"They're claustrophobic walled gardens within Apple's walled garden, Buy Retin A without a prescription,  lacking the basic functionality we now expect with electronic journalism: the opportunity to comment, the integration of social media, the ability to select text and paste it elsewhere, and finally the most basic function of all: links to other sources," Weisberg says. GQ magazine didn't get off to a particularly encouraging start with its iPad offerings, selling just 365 copies of its $2.99 Men of the Year iPad issue, real brand Retin A online.

A few other folks are saying that the iPad is ushering in fundamental changes in the way we consume personal media: At Ars Technica, Forrester analyst Sarah Rotman Epps notes that the iPad is radically different from what people say they want in a PC, but they're still more than willing to buy it because it makes complex computing simple. (The term Forrester is using to describe the tablet era, curated computing, Retin A description, seems like a stretch, though.) Norwegian digital journalist John Einar Sandvand offers a similar take, saying that tablets' distinctive convenience will further weaken print newspapers' position. And the Lab's Josh Benton says the iPad could have an effect on the way we write, too, Retin A Mg.

Slipping through the Times' and WSJ's paywalls: New York Times editor Bill Keller gave an update late last week on the plans for his paper's much-anticipated paywall — he didn't tell us anything new, unless you count the news that the wall will start in January 2011, rather than just "next year." But in reiterating the fact that he wasn't breaking any news, he gave Media Matters' Joe Strupp a bit of a clearer picture about how loose the Times' metered model will be: "Those who mainly come to the website via search engines or links from blogs, Retin A treatment, and those who only come sporadically -- in short, the bulk of our traffic -- may never be asked to pay at all," Keller wrote.

In the meantime, digital media consultant Mark Potts found another leaky paywall at The Wall Street Journal. Fast shipping Retin A, Potts canceled his WSJ.com subscription (after 15 years!) and found that he's still able to access for free almost everything he had previously paid for with only a few URL changes and the most basic of Google skills. And even much of that information, he argues, is readily available from other sources for free, damaging the value of the venerable Journal paywall. "Even the Journal can't enforce the kind of exclusivity that would make it worth paying for—it's too easy to look elsewhere," Potts writes. Retin A Mg, Another Times-related story to note: The paper's managing editor for news, Jill Abramson, will leave her position for six months to become immersed in the digital side of the Times' operation. The New York Observer tries out a few possible explanations for the move, Retin A recreational.

Going all-in on digital publishing: Speaking of immersion, two publishers in the past two weeks have tried a fascinating experiment: Producing an issue entirely through new-media tools. The first was 48 Hours, a new San Francisco-based magazine that puts together each issue from beginning to end in two days. The magazine's editors announced a theme, Retin A pics,  solicited submissions via email and Twitter, received 1,500 submissions, then put together the magazine, all in 48 hours. Several who saw the finished product were fairly impressed, but CBS's lawyers were a little less pleased about the whole '48 Hours' name, Retin A Mg. Gizmodo had a Q&A with the mag's editors (all webzine vets) and PBS MediaShift and the BBC took a closer look at the editorial process.

Second, effects of Retin A, the Journal Register Co. newspaper chain finished the Ben Franklin Project, an experiment in producing a daily and weekly newspaper and website using only free, web-based tools. Two small Ohio newspapers accomplished the feat this week, Retin A dose, and Poynter's Mallary Jean Tenore took a look inside the effort. Retin A Mg, What she uncovered should be an inspiration for people looking to implement change in newsrooms, especially ones that might be resistant to digital media. A quote from the daily paper's managing editor sums it up: "When we started out, we said, 'We're going to do what. How are we going to do this?' Now we're showing ourselves that we can operate in a world that, even six months ago, used to be foreign to us."

Reading roundup: This week, Retin A pharmacy, I've got two developments and a handful of other pieces to think on:

— Yahoo bought the online content producer Associated Content for $100 million this week. News business analyst Ken Doctor examined what this deal means for Yahoo (it's big, he says), and considers the demand-and-advertising-driven model employed by Associated Content and others like Demand Media.

— If you follow NYU professor Jay Rosen on Twitter, Retin A online cod, you've heard a ton about fact-checking over the past couple of months. A couple more interesting tidbits on the subject this week: Fact-checks are consistently the AP's most popular pieces online, and Minnesota Public Radio has unveiled PoliGraph, its own fact-checking effort, Retin A Mg.

— Poynter's Rick Edmonds compares two of the more talked-about local news startups launching this summer, Washington D.C.'s TBD and Hawaii's Honolulu Civil Beat. He's got some great details on both. Poynter also put together a list of 200 moments over the last decade that transformed journalism.

— If you're up for a quick, deep thought, the Lab's Josh Benton muses on the need for news to structure and shrink its users' world. "I think it’s journalists who need to take up that challenge," he says, "to learn how to spin something coherent and absorbing and contained and in-the-moment and satisfying from the chaos of the world around us."

— And once you're done with that, head into the weekend laughing at the Onion's parody of newspapers' coverage of social media startups.
