| Initiative, The New York State Department of Labor
| launched LaborForge, a public repository designed
| specifically for sharing labor-related source code
| and design documents.

Second Wind for Second Life?
,----[ Quote ]
| As a result, recognising that a new approach was
| needed, Second Life's founder Philip Linden stepped
| aside from the day-to-day running of the company, and
| brought in Mark Kingdon. When I interviewed him
| earlier this year, he was naturally upbeat about the
| future of Second Life, so I was glad to have the
| opportunity to talk to him this morning about how
| things are going, and to see whether Second Life
| really has found its second wind.

Clay Shirky: Let a thousand flowers bloom to replace newspapers; donât build a paywall around a public good
,----[ Quote ]
| NYU professor and Internet thinker Clay Shirky gave a
| talk Tuesday at the Shorenstein Center on the Press,
| Politics and Public Policy, our friends just on the
| other side of Harvard Square. His subject was the
| future of accountability journalism in a world of
| declining newspapers. Even for those of us familiar
| with his ideas, he brought in a few new wrinkles,
| which have already been the subject of commentary
| around the web.
