Evening Standard almost in profit after going free
,----[ Quote ]
| It seemed barely credible that London's
| evening paper would succeed as a giveaway. But
| the power of old-fashioned print advertising
| revenue has moved it to the brink of
| profitability

Abundance Obsoletes Peer Review, so Drop It
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently, I had the pleasure of finally
| meeting Cameron Neylon, probably the leading -
| and certainly most articulate - exponent of
| open science. Talking with him about peer
| review helped crystallise something that I
| have been trying to articulate: why peer
| review should go.
|
| [...]
|
| For me what's particularly interesting is the
| fact that peer review is unnecessary for the
| same reason that copyright and patents are
| unnecessary nowadays: because the Internet
| liberates creativity massively and provides a
| means for bringing that flood to a wider
| audience without the need for official
| gatekeepers to bless and control it.

Wikipedia to Loosen Controls Tonight
,----[ Quote ]
| Wikipedia will roll out the latest changes to

| a way to limit vandalism without a chilling

| permissive turn with the change.
