Noovo Early Spring Version Due This Monday!
1 year ago | Comment
Dear Noovites,
I wish to thank you for your patience with the recently somewhat slower and less reliable Noovo. We've been working hard to resolve many issues around performance and usability. The service may be down for several hours during the Monday release.
What to expect:
- Radar is coming back with vengeance! Finally, you might actually enjoy following external (rss) feeds in Noovo for their freshness and snappiness. A release after this one, Radar pages will start keeping track of what you read and providing recommendations.
- We have subtly redesigned the Home page, streams and controls. This is the first step towards deeper changes aimed at easier reading and contributing. However, some buttons will be temporary gone from the Home page until the next release.
- Submitting and reposting stories will be completely different now: instead of creating copies, Noovo will create links to the original. This should greatly improve the recommendations and defragment comments that are now randomly scattered among several copies of republished stories.
- Two-way syncing with Flickr and blogs will work as it always should have.
- Several big changes under the hood should make Noovo feel much faster.
- New users will find some friendly guides that will point out key features around the site.
- We finally added a music player.
Have a great weekend,
Matej

OSLO accord pushes location-sharing between social networks
1 year ago | Comment
We’ve had OpenId to make the transport of your ID easier between Web sites. We’ve had initiatives on Data Portability to make it easier for you to move your data around between social networks and other apps. But what we haven’t had yet is a way to allow you to share your location between different platforms. That’s something that a new, largely European-inspired, initiative hopes to address. The alliance, called OSLO (Open Sharing of Location-based Objects) includes many of the players in mobile social networking and location-based social software.

The Spectacular, Sudden Crash of the Global Economy | Corporate Accountability and WorkPlace | AlterNet
1 year ago | Comment
The worldwide economic meltdown has sent the wheels spinning off the project of building a single, business-friendly global economy. Worldwide, industrial production has ground to a halt. Goods are stacking up, but nobody's buying; the Washington Post reports that "the world is suddenly awash in almost everything: flat-panel televisions, bulldozers, Barbie dolls, strip malls, Burberry stores." A Hong Kong-based shipping broker told The Telegraph that his firm had "seen trade activity fall off a cliff. Asia-Europe is an unmit igated disaster." The Economist noted that one can now ship a container from China to Europe for free -- you only need to pick up the fuel and handling costs -- but half-empty freighters are the norm along the world's busiest shipping routes. Global airfreight dropped by almost a quarter in December alone; Giovanni Bisignani, who heads a shipping industry trade group, called the "free fall" in global cargo "unprecedented and shocking." -
