CC MP3 GUI Tagger Creative Commons has a simple strategy for linking licensing information in mp3s and other media files often found on P2P networks back to the web. Until now implementing that strategy was rather a pain for publishers. The only tools were command line, and those depended upon a gaggle of libraries not already installed on a typical machine.

What is a "learning object"?, again. It certainly looks like the term "learning object" is even less well understood than I thought!

Voting means picking who sucks less If you folks down south are feeling blue about your impending November presidential elections, feel free to commiserate with us. Studies have shown that voter participation in Canada has dwindled - and even a baboon can explain that it's because all the candidates suck.

Fortunately, the Canadian campaign period is only a month and a half - a sharp contrast to the year-long election jamboree in the US. I guess we just want to get it over with.

A New Wiki/Bliki Movement Afoot? When I wrote Learning with (and from) Wikis a few weeks ago, I thought I was behind the times. I thought that most of the basic points about wikis had already been explored in various online discussion forums. As it turns out, I may have unwittingly become part of a new movement to expand and enhance the use of wikis, or to expand them into blikis.

Google Creeps Toward RSS Webfeeds On June 9, CNet reported that the search giant Google is considering support for RSS-format webfeeds in addition to Atom-format.

Government Intranets: 10 Winners for Usability Intranets are becoming increasingly important to how many organizations (including government agencies) function. However, the true benefits of intranets become reality only when people actually USE them &#150; regularly, and well. We all want our governments to function efficiently, since we're paying for them. Thus, intranet usability is a key way to increase the productivity of a government workforce.
