&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://scribbling.net/how-to-fix-moms-computer&quot;&gt;How to fix mom&apos;s computer&lt;/A&gt; is a nice article that most geeks can relate to with some dread. Starting with a totally unprotected PC with lots of adware and a full mess, Gina Trapani walks you through the necessary updates. Thus it&apos;s also a nice PC security primer.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Windows 98 directly on cable with no forewall? The horror! Updating to XP wasn&apos;t even mentioned as an option. Odd. Maybe the machine was very old.&lt;/P&gt;[&lt;A href=&quot;http://blogs.salon.com/0001561/&quot;&gt;Secular Blasphemy&lt;/A&gt;]</description>

&lt;P&gt;Han har sitt eget selskap Ublog SA som ogs&amp;#229; har et bloggerprogram. Han har en blog p&amp;#229; fransk som fortsatt vil v&amp;aelig;re p&amp;#229; U-blog mens hans engelske versjon er n&amp;#229; lagt over p&amp;#229; Typepad. Han sier at etter hvert skal han tilby programvaren p&amp;#229; flere europeiske spr&amp;#229;k. Han har selv presentert avtalen p&amp;#229; sin blog den 20. mars i &amp;#229;r:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H2&gt;March 20, 2004&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;Six Apart and Ublog SA sign an exclusive representation agreement in Europe&lt;/H3&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Mena, Ben, Barak and myself have been already working on this agreement for many weeks, I am very glad and honored to announce that &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.sixapart.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#003366&gt;Six Apart&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; and my company &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.u-blog.net/site/&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=#003366&gt;Ublog&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; SA have signed yesterday an exclusive representation agreement.&lt;/P&gt;

			<description>&lt;H3&gt;Wearing black in protest&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;DIV class=personquote&gt;Glutter&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://glutter.typepad.com/glutter/2004/03/china_has_curbe.html&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=red&gt;CHINA HAS FURTHER CURBED FREE SPEECH AMONG ITS CITIZENS&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT HAS BANNED ALL TYPEPAD SITES WITHIN CHINA. ANOTHER BLOW TO FREESPEECH AND FREEDOM OF INFORMATION WITHIN THE COUNTRY.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;THIS IS A SAD DAY.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;GLUTTER TURNS BLACK AS A MEANS TO PROTEST AND BRING ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If I could so much ask, I would like to suggest others who own typepad sites and other blogs to put a note on theirs as a means to spread the word.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;So until TypePad blogs are unblocked, you will all have to bear with this ugly black border around my blog. 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Pass it on sier Loic Le Meur p&amp;#229; &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.loiclemeur.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.loiclemeur.com&quot;&gt;http://www.loiclemeur.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/A&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Geneva,Arial,Sans-Serif&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;One year ago today &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;FONT face=Geneva,Arial,Sans-Serif&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;har v&amp;#229;r franske venn Loic&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;Le Meur kalt et innlegg han har p&amp;#229; sin blogg og det &amp;#229; sp&amp;#229; fremtiden.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; Du finner han p&amp;#229; &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.loiclemeur.com&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.loiclemeur.com&quot;&gt;http://www.loiclemeur.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&quot;[Weblogs] are an interesting phenomenon, but I don&apos;t think they will be as talked about in a year&apos;s time.&quot; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

Radio UserLand tip: If you offer comments on your weblog, your pages will load slowly when UserLand&apos;s comment servers are experiencing high usage. One way to eliminate this bottleneck is to &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.myelin.co.nz/post/2004/2/27/#200402271&quot;&gt;change comment servers to Pycs&lt;/A&gt;, an open-source clone of the Radio Community Server. 
&lt;P&gt;Pycs can be used as your comment and trackback server even if the rest of your weblog remains on the UserLand or Salon servers. Because &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.pycs.net/&quot;&gt;Pycs.Net&lt;/A&gt; hosts dozens of weblogs instead of thousands, the response time is usually much quicker.

			<description>&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/categories/salonBlogTips/2004/02/26.html#a1368&quot;&gt;New editor for Manila and Radio UserLand&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;A href=&quot;http://groups.yahoo.com/group/radio-dev/message/8068&quot;&gt;SocialDynamx&lt;/A&gt; is developing SmartManila, a Windows program for editing Radio UserLand and Manila sites: 
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Once setup, you can quickly switch between different services and not lose any data retrieved or the connection established to communicate with each unique server. 
&lt;P&gt;SmartManila brings the same benefits to Manila that FM Radio brought to Radio. Some of the highlights are: Drafts, Spell-checker, Seamless image support, Integrated multi-tabbed browser with undockable tabs, Increased writing-surface area &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The program, available now as an &lt;A href=&quot;http://subhonker7.userland.com/sdtest/&quot;&gt;early beta release&lt;/A&gt;, serves as a friendly non-browser interface to UserLand&apos;s weblog publishing tools (&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/gems/smartmanila1.gif&quot;&gt;screen shot&lt;/A&gt;). It requires an existing Radio or Manila site in order to function, and Radio users must have the software running while SmartManila is being used. 
&lt;P&gt;A full review of the software will appear on &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench&quot;&gt;Workbench&lt;/A&gt; after I&apos;ve tried it out for a few days. One quick tip: To switch between your weblogs, click the small &lt;SPAN class=menucommand&gt;i&lt;/SPAN&gt; button on the title bar, then choose &lt;SPAN class=menucommand&gt;Services&lt;/SPAN&gt;.

&lt;P&gt;In his essay &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.masternewmedia.org/2004/02/19/the_birth_of_the_newsmaster.htm&quot;&gt;Birth of the NewsMaster&lt;/A&gt;, Robin Good writes: 
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE class=&quot;personQuote RobinGood&quot; cite=http://www.masternewmedia.org/2004/02/19/the_birth_of_the_newsmaster.htm&gt;I have seen and heard of people subscribing to hundreds if not to thousands of feeds inside their RSS aggregators. &lt;BR&gt;Is that manageable? Do these people get better and more information than everyone else? &lt;BR&gt;It is not. They don&apos;t. &lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;Information architecture is one of my abiding passions. Designing an information display that can be efficiently scanned is something I&apos;ve thought a whole lot about. So I&apos;m particularly keen to understand why some people report being overwhelmed by too much RSS input, while others say they&apos;re able to process lots of it effectively. 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Yesterday, for example, &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1439309,00.asp&quot;&gt;Steve Gillmor&lt;/A&gt; told me that he&apos;s feeling overwhelmed by thousands of unread items in NetNewsWire. Yet I never feel that way. I suspect that&apos;s because I&apos;m reading in batches of 100 (in the Radio UserLand feedreader). I scan each batch quickly. Although &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.nelson.monkey.org/~nelson/weblog/culture/blogs/fullrss.html&quot;&gt;opinions differ&lt;/A&gt; as to whether or not a feed should be truncated, my stance (which I&apos;m reversing today) has been that truncation is a useful way to achieve the effect you get when scanning the left column of the Wall Street Journal&apos;s front page. Of the 100 items, I&apos;ll typically only want to read several. I open them into new Mozilla tabs, then go back and read them. Everybody&apos;s different, but for me -- and given how newspapers work, I suspect for many others too -- it&apos;s useful to separate the acts of scanning and reading. When I&apos;m done with the batch, I click once to delete all 100 items. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As a user of NetNewsWire Lite, I don&apos;t have access to the combined view that enables items to be processed in batch rather than individually. The &lt;A href=&quot;http://ranchero.com/images/nnw/hpss/combinedView103.jpg&quot;&gt;example screenshot&lt;/A&gt; suggests that there is still a per-channel interaction required, however I suspect that when Combined View is used in conjunction with Show Aggregated New Items, you can see -- and process -- everything at once. (If I&apos;ve got that wrong, I&apos;m sure &lt;A href=&quot;http://inessential.com/&quot;&gt;Brent&lt;/A&gt; will clarify.) &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If Steve and I have the same batch-processing capability, why do we feel so differently about the overload problem? Maybe because it&apos;s not the same. If I&apos;m right about NNW&apos;s Combined View / Show Aggregated New Items, the difference may boil down to this: my aggregated view delivers batches of 100, whereas Steve&apos;s delivers either small per-channel batches, or very large all-channel batches. So, in other words, I&apos;m seeing what roughly corresponds to a Wall Street Journal news summary, whereas Steve is seeing what roughly corresponds to a 5x or 10x bigger version of that page. (If I&apos;ve got that wrong, I&apos;m sure Steve will clarify.) &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Either way, the content is an awkward mixture of truncated and full items. Both modes are useful, but they serve different purposes and they mix badly. Truncation is necessary for the Wall Street Journal effect, though where and how to truncate is a tricky question that I&apos;ve just now changed my mind about. And of course you need the full view at some point, so you can actually read stuff. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Currently I provide two versions of my feed: truncated and full. And the truncated feed is intelligently truncated. Using a callback that Dave Winer added to Radio UserLand a couple of years ago, I select the first HTML paragraph (&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;) element. Knowing that this will happen, I put some thought into what that element will contain when I&apos;m writing an item. In effect, the first paragraph element is the lead, or blurb. Sometimes it&apos;s just a plain paragraph. But sometimes it will contain an image, or a quotation, when these are appropriate and useful hooks. This &lt;A href=&quot;http://udell.infoworld.com:8001/?//body/p[1][contains(ancestor::item/@channel,%20&apos;full-length&apos;)%20and%20contains(ancestor::item/date,%20&apos;2004/01&apos;)]&quot;&gt;query&lt;/A&gt;, which shows the first paragraphs from all my January items, illustrates some of the variation. The fact that I can issue this query against my untruncated feed shows that my truncated feed is really not necessary. What is necessary, or at any rate useful, is the extra bit of preparation, i.e. thinking about what goes into that first HTML paragraph. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately the effect of all my careful preparation has mostly been wasted so far. When you process large batches of feeds, some of which use intelligent truncation, some of which use dumb truncation (i.e., just grab the first 250 characters and slap on an ellipsis), and some of which use no truncation, the result is kind of a mess. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All along, I&apos;ve had the idea that feedreaders should be able to smooth out these differences. If you wanted a Wall Street Journal view across all your feeds, you could get one. And if you wanted a full-content view across all your feeds, you could get that too. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Playing around with my queryable feed database today, I realized we&apos;re within shouting distance of making that happen. And I&apos;m reversing my former stance on truncation. Here is a &lt;A href=&quot;http://udell.infoworld.com:8001/?//body/*[1][ancestor::item/date%20=%20&apos;2004/02/21&apos;]|//content/body[count(./*)=0][ancestor::item/date=&apos;2004/02/21&apos;]&quot;&gt;Wall Street Journal view&lt;/A&gt; of all of my feeds so far today. And here is a &lt;A href=&quot;http://udell.infoworld.com:8001/?//body[ancestor::item/date = &apos;2004/02/21&apos;]&quot;&gt;full-content view&lt;/A&gt; of all of my feeds so far today. It includes this long item I&apos;m now writing, which shows how a mixture of truncated and untruncated content is optimal for neither scanning nor for reading. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Here are my conclusions: 
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Nobody needs to truncate feeds in order to enable front-page views (although some will still want to in order to drive traffic to websites).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Everybody&apos;s content should be HTML (if not XHTML).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Authors should think of the first HTML element (normally a paragraph, but could be a list or a blockquote or something else) as special: the lead, or deck, that will appear in a front-page view.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Feedreaders should XHTML-ize what they read.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Feedreaders should then offer a front-page view (e.g., just the first HTML element found in each item) as well as a full-content view.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;By the way, in case it isn&apos;t obvious, the RSS/Atom controversy is irrelevant to this discussion. In both environments, the same principles could be applied in exactly the same ways, for exactly the same reasons. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;</description>

Den popul&amp;aelig;re s&amp;oslash;kemotoren Google er basert p&amp;#229; matematiske kriterier. Hvordan blir da verden seende ut if&amp;oslash;lge Google?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&lt;!-- End ingress --&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;

&lt;DIV align=justify&gt;&lt;SPAN style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: verdana&quot;&gt;Internett, med sine tre milliarder sider, blir ofte beskrevet som historiens mest komplette leksikon. En dokumentasjonssamling uten sidestykke som elskverdig stilles til v&amp;#229;r disposisjon, og et verkt&amp;oslash;y som i l&amp;oslash;pet av sekunder kan svare p&amp;#229; alle v&amp;#229;re sp&amp;oslash;rsm&amp;#229;l. S&amp;oslash;kemotorene er s&amp;#229; effektive at vi trenger bare &amp;#229; taste inn noen spredte stikkord, og de finner fram til informasjon n&amp;#229;r v&amp;#229;r egen hukommelse svikter.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Paradoksalt nok finnes det f&amp;aelig;rre og f&amp;aelig;rre av disse verkt&amp;oslash;yene. Bare fire amerikanske selskaper er fortsatt i stand til &amp;#229; tilby en kvalitetstjeneste til publikum verden over. F&amp;oslash;r man kan vise internettbrukeren vei i en stadig st&amp;oslash;rre mengde data, er man faktisk n&amp;oslash;dt til disponere tusenvis av datamaskiner som kan s&amp;oslash;ke igjennom nettet og indeksere den tilgjengelige informasjonen. Men framfor alt m&amp;#229; man vite hvordan man skal trekke ut de mest relevante sidene. Det er denne evnen, s&amp;oslash;kemotorens &amp;#171;intelligens&amp;#187;, som avgj&amp;oslash;r om man lykkes eller ikke. Google, som i l&amp;oslash;pet av tre &amp;#229;r har blitt den mest brukte s&amp;oslash;kemotoren i verden, er et bevis p&amp;#229; dette. En nyskapende fremgangsm&amp;#229;te gj&amp;oslash;r at Google som regel kan presentere den &amp;oslash;nskede informasjonen fra og med den f&amp;oslash;rste siden med s&amp;oslash;keresultater.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Jungeltelegrafen gjorde en effektiv jobb, innvidde Google-brukere oppfordret sine venner til &amp;#229; bruke denne &amp;#171;geniale&amp;#187; s&amp;oslash;kemotoren. Google gikk fra 10&amp;nbsp;000 s&amp;oslash;k per dag i begynnelsen av 1999 til mer enn 200 millioner v&amp;#229;ren 2003. Det betyr at 53 prosent av s&amp;oslash;kene p&amp;#229; verdensbasis gj&amp;oslash;res gjennom Google, og for mange av de 70 millioner brukerne er internett fullstendig sammenfallende med dette usedvanlige verkt&amp;oslash;yet. If&amp;oslash;lge journalisten Fran&amp;ccedil;ois Pisani er &amp;#171;Google umerkelig blitt et instrument som langt overskrider den oppfatningen man vanligvis har av en s&amp;oslash;kemotor. Jeg benytter ikke bare s&amp;oslash;kemotoren for &amp;#229; f&amp;#229; tilgang til sider som inneholder informasjon. Resultatene som kommer opp som svar p&amp;#229; et s&amp;oslash;keord er tilstrekkelige i seg selv, og sidene de henviser til fungerer ikke lenger som instrument for bekreftelse.&amp;#187;1 &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Googles herred&amp;oslash;mme reiser imidlertid flere sp&amp;oslash;rsm&amp;#229;l. Hvordan kan en algoritme, hvor &amp;#171;genial&amp;#187; den enn er, velge ut de ti &amp;#171;mest relevante&amp;#187; referansene til s&amp;oslash;keordet &amp;#171;Irak&amp;#187;, blant de tre millioner sidene som inneholder dette ordet?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Som alle s&amp;oslash;kemotorer lider ogs&amp;#229; Google under en viktig begrensning, den kan bare tilby informasjon som er tilgjengelig for det store publikum. Hvis ingen har funnet det for godt &amp;#229; publisere en artikkel om den &amp;#171;skjeggete lammegribbens levesett&amp;#187;, vil man lete forgjeves etter treff p&amp;#229; dette temaet. N&amp;#229;r man bruker internett, s&amp;oslash;ker man ikke gjennom all tilgjengelig kunnskap, men den kunnskapen ulike bidragsytere &amp;#150; universiteter, institusjoner, medier, privatpersoner &amp;#150; har valgt &amp;#229; gj&amp;oslash;re fritt tilgjengelig p&amp;#229; nettet. Kvaliteten p&amp;#229; hva som blir lagt ut spiller derfor en avgj&amp;oslash;rende rolle for hvor relevante treffene som kommer opp er.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Selv om antallet tilgjengelige sider stadig &amp;oslash;ker, har imidlertid enkelte institusjonelle kilder valgt &amp;#229; bevisst senke kvaliteten p&amp;#229; sine nettsider. Etter 11. september 2001, ble en rekke offisielle amerikanske nettsider rensket for &amp;#171;f&amp;oslash;lsomme&amp;#187; opplysninger. Ett eksempel er nettsiden til den amerikanske h&amp;aelig;ren, hvor hvem som helst kunne lese en stolte presentasjon av h&amp;aelig;rens &amp;#229;tte depot for kjemiske v&amp;#229;pen,2 men ogs&amp;#229; en del sivil informasjon ble fjernet. Geographical Information Services har stengt tilgangen til deres kart over veinettet,3 mens staten Pennsylvania trakk tilbake oversikten over infrastrukturen for telekommunikasjon, skoler og sykehus.4 Med kampen mot terrorisme som p&amp;#229;skudd, har enkelte selskaper tatt bort informasjon som milj&amp;oslash;vernorganisasjoner har m&amp;#229;ttet sl&amp;#229;ss for &amp;#229; f&amp;#229; tilgang til. Str&amp;oslash;mselskaper i California har for eksempel fjernet opplysninger knyttet til forurensende utslipp fra deres kraftverk.5 &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Sammenbruddet i &amp;#171;den nye &amp;oslash;konomien&amp;#187; i 2001 bidro ogs&amp;#229; til denne tilbaketrekningen. Stadig flere nettredakt&amp;oslash;rer gir bare registrerte abonnenter tilgang til artiklene. Denne strategien, som har som m&amp;#229;l &amp;#229; skaffe ekstra inntekter, har likevel en bakside: at man forsvinner fra nettet. Nettsider som krever abonnement (ogs&amp;#229; om det er gratis) blir faktisk oversett av s&amp;oslash;kemotorene. Derfor, selv om New York Times forrige m&amp;#229;ned publiserte en bemerkelsesverdig unders&amp;oslash;kelse omkring den skjeggete lammegribbens levesett, vil du ikke f&amp;#229; opp denne artikkelen. Hovedvekten av artiklene som publiseres i pressen er p&amp;#229; denne m&amp;#229;ten blitt s&amp;#229; godt som usynlige p&amp;#229; nettet. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Samtidig erobres nettet av nye akt&amp;oslash;rer. Selskaper som &amp;oslash;nsker &amp;#229; sikre seg synlighet gjennom &amp;#229; gi sin kommunikasjon en spesiell oppbakking, aktivistiske organisasjoner som oppdager en ny m&amp;#229;te &amp;#229; spre sitt budskap p&amp;#229;&amp;#133; Og internettbrukerne f&amp;oslash;rst og fremst, som stadig lager flere personlige nettsider: &amp;#171;Selvpubliseringen&amp;#187;, som tidligere var forbeholdt de teknisk avanserte, er blitt demokratisert gjennom utviklingen av verkt&amp;oslash;y som er enklere &amp;#229; bruke.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;P&amp;#229; midten av 1990-tallet fikk denne str&amp;oslash;mmen av ekstra informasjon to informatikkstudenter ved det amerikanske Stanford-universitetet til &amp;#229; f&amp;oslash;lge en intuisjon. Sergey Brin og Larry Page spurte seg om ikke en s&amp;oslash;kemotor som var basert p&amp;#229; matematiske studier av forholdet mellom nettsidene, ville komme fram til mye bedre resultater enn de ufullstendige teknikkene som ble brukt p&amp;#229; den tiden. De var overbevist om at de mest &amp;#171;relevante&amp;#187; sidene m&amp;#229;tte v&amp;aelig;re de som ble henvist til oftest (som andre sider hadde valgt &amp;#229; henvise til gjennom lenker), og bestemte seg for &amp;#229; gj&amp;oslash;re dette til sitt studieprosjekt. De la grunnlaget for en mer &amp;#171;matematisk&amp;#187; s&amp;oslash;kemotor, og i september 1998 etablerte de sitt selskap, som fikk navnet Google. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;For &amp;#229; vurdere nettsiders &amp;#171;relevans&amp;#187;, oppfant Brin og Page &amp;#171;PageRank&amp;#187;-systemet, en vurderingsskala som er unik for Google. Verdien p&amp;#229; en nettside blir hele tiden revurdert ut i fra hvor mange ganger den henvises til. Isolerte sider, som det ikke finnes noen lenker til, blir i dette systemet lite synlige, og har ingen &amp;#171;legitimitet&amp;#187;. De nettsidene som refereres til ofte blir derimot referansesider i Googles &amp;oslash;yne.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Men dette inneb&amp;aelig;rer ogs&amp;#229; en ulempe ved systemet: nye sider f&amp;#229;r et handikapp, og blir ikke synlige uten &amp;#229; tiltrekke seg oppmerksomhet fra allerede godt etablerte nettsider. &amp;#171;PageRank bygger p&amp;#229; nettets fullstendig demokratiske karakter,&amp;#187; hevder grunnleggerne av Google, som likevel m&amp;#229; innr&amp;oslash;mme at &amp;#171;stemmer fra viktige nettsider teller mer, og medvirker til &amp;#229; gj&amp;oslash;re andre sider viktige.&amp;#187; Et underlig demokrati, hvor stemmene fra allerede innflytelsesrike akt&amp;oslash;rer er viktigere enn stemmene til nykommere.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;En anekdote fra Andrew Orlowskis The Register&lt;I&gt; &lt;/I&gt;er interessant i forbindelse med dette.[&lt;B&gt;6&lt;/B&gt;] 17. februar 2003 beskrev en artikkel i New York Times antikrigsbevegelsen som en &amp;#171;second superpower&amp;#187;. &amp;#171;De enorme demonstrasjonene mot krigen over hele verden denne helgen, minner oss om at det uten tvil fortsatt finnes to supermakter p&amp;#229; planeten: USA og verdensopinionen.&amp;#187; Denne formuleringen ble like etter gjentatt av FNs generalsekret&amp;aelig;r Kofi Annan. Et s&amp;oslash;k med stikkordene &amp;#171;second superpower&amp;#187; p&amp;#229; Google i ukene som fulgte henviste ogs&amp;#229; til denne originale definisjonen av supermaktene.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Dette bestemte en universitetsansatt ved Harvard, James F. Moore, seg for &amp;#229; gj&amp;oslash;re noe med. 31. mars &amp;#229;pnet han sin hjemmeside med en artikkel som hadde tittelen &amp;#171;The Second Superpower Rears its Beautiful Head&amp;#187; (Den andre supermakten stikker fram sitt vakre hode). Det var en fullstendig ubetydelig artikkel, hvor uttrykket &amp;#171;second superpower&amp;#187; ble s&amp;#229; ufarliggjort at til og med et medlem av det republikanske partiet ville blitt begeistret. Andre &amp;#171;tekno-utopister&amp;#187; lot seg inspirere av Moores tankegang, og ved hjelp av sine sv&amp;aelig;rt innflytelsesrike anmeldelser p&amp;#229; nettet, s&amp;oslash;rget de for at hans obskure artikkel ble selve referansen p&amp;#229; dette omr&amp;#229;det. En m&amp;#229;ned senere, refererte faktisk 27 av de f&amp;oslash;rste 30 treffene Google fant fram til med s&amp;oslash;keordet &amp;#171;second superpower&amp;#187;, til denne aseptiske versjonen av uttrykket. James Moore, spesialist innen &amp;oslash;konomisk strategi, teknologi og ledelse, visste hva han gjorde. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&amp;#171;Millioner av mennesker over hele verden m&amp;#229;tte til for &amp;#229; tvinge &lt;I&gt;The Gray Lady &lt;/I&gt;(New York Times, o.a.) til &amp;#229; beskrive antikrigsbevegelsen som den &amp;#146;andre supermakten&amp;#146;. Men det var tilstrekkelig at en h&amp;#229;ndfull &amp;#146;&lt;B&gt;blog&lt;/B&gt;gere&amp;#146;8 henviste til den alternative betydningen for &amp;#229; gi den nok &amp;#146;PageRank&amp;#146; til &amp;#229; oversv&amp;oslash;mme Google med Moores alternative, n&amp;oslash;ytraliserte definisjon,&amp;#187; konstaterer Andrew Orlowski. &amp;#171;Dersom s&amp;oslash;kemotoren var den viktigste kilden til ditt syn p&amp;#229; verden, ville du ha vanskelig for &amp;#229; se at uttrykket &amp;#171;second superpower&amp;#187; kunne ha en annen betydning. Den originale meningen er s&amp;#229; godt som forsvunnet.&amp;#148;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;For Andrew Orlowski viser denne anekdoten at &amp;#171;Google er ikke &amp;#146;autentisk&amp;#146;, men &amp;#146;syntetisk&amp;#146;&amp;#187;. Et s&amp;oslash;k finner ikke fram til den viktigste referansen til et emne, men den betydningen som det refereres mest til. Dette fenomenet forsterkes av lovgivningen om opphavsrett, som forbyr nettpublisering av arbeider som den beskytter. Selv om et s&amp;oslash;k p&amp;#229; Raoul Vaneigem ville f&amp;#229;tt fram noen av hans tekster (flere av b&amp;oslash;kene hans er tilgjengelige p&amp;#229; nettet), vil imidlertid de fleste forfatters&amp;oslash;k f&amp;#229; fram en oppfordring om &amp;#229; g&amp;#229; til anskaffelse av forfatterens verker og, i beste fall, en bokanmeldelse f&amp;oslash;rt i pennen av en internettbruker. Man kan sammenligne denne situasjonen med et bibliotek som m&amp;#229; slutte med gratis utl&amp;#229;n av b&amp;oslash;ker, og ikke lenger kan tilby annet enn lesesammendrag redigert av bibliotekets medlemmer. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Dette frav&amp;aelig;ret av skriftlige referanser legger til rette for &amp;#229; innta posisjoner p&amp;#229; denne ideologiske lekeplassen. Og merkelig nok er denne symbolske makten, denne muligheten til &amp;#229; gi sin versjon av et emne overtaket, en av de sjeldne formene for makt som fremdeles unnslipper de vanlige strukturene for maktfordeling. Den dominerende ideologien er ikke overrepresentert, snarere tvert i mot: et s&amp;oslash;k p&amp;#229; navnet til en innenriksminister som er tilhenger av deportasjoner, vil lede deg til organisasjoner til forsvar for papirl&amp;oslash;se innvandrere. S&amp;oslash;ker man p&amp;#229; Google etter en forretningsmann, kan s&amp;oslash;kemotoren overse hans presseskriv og heller bringe fram minnene om finansskandalene han har v&amp;aelig;rt innblandet i. Det er slik at de forskjellige akt&amp;oslash;renes innflytelse f&amp;oslash;rst og fremst avhenger av i hvor stor grad de har tilegnet seg nettet: det holder ikke bare &amp;#229; utvikle en nettside, man m&amp;#229; ogs&amp;#229; v&amp;aelig;re i stand til &amp;#229; knytte b&amp;#229;nd til andre sider og f&amp;#229; status som &amp;#171;det som gjelder&amp;#187; p&amp;#229; nettet. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Selv om mange som f&amp;#229;r sine skrifter spredt p&amp;#229; denne m&amp;#229;ten bare har gode hensikter, er det andre som vet hvordan de skal utnytte svakhetene ved dette verkt&amp;oslash;yet. Noen byr&amp;#229;er gj&amp;oslash;r det til sin spesialitet &amp;#229; utvikle sider p&amp;#229; oppdrag fra forskjellige lobbyer, med informasjon som ved f&amp;oslash;rste &amp;oslash;yekast ser ut som nyhetsmeldinger. Denne tilsynelatende objektiviteten kan lure internettbrukeren til &amp;#229; tro at det dreier seg om seri&amp;oslash;s informasjon, og han kan bli fristet til &amp;#229; referere til den p&amp;#229; sin egen nettside. F&amp;oslash;rstnevnte f&amp;#229;r da en symbolsk makt som den kan dra fordel av senere.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Noen &amp;oslash;mfintlige temaer, som for eksempel genmodifiserte organismer eller konflikten mellom israelerne og palestinerne, er ogs&amp;#229; gjenstand for en innbitt kamp hvor de ulike sidene sl&amp;#229;ss for &amp;#229; gj&amp;oslash;re sine ideer legitime i Googles &amp;oslash;yne. En ansvarlig for en referanseside p&amp;#229; nettet &amp;#150; i alle fall if&amp;oslash;lge Google &amp;#150; fikk en overraskende henvendelse fra en noe spesiell type salgsrepresentant: &amp;#171;Jeg er interessert i &amp;#229; kj&amp;oslash;pe lenker p&amp;#229; deres nettside for &amp;#229; kunne promotere nettsidene til v&amp;#229;re klienter. Disse lenkene m&amp;#229; ikke n&amp;oslash;dvendigvis v&amp;aelig;re spesielt synlige p&amp;#229; nettsiden deres, da vi ikke forventer &amp;#229; tjene p&amp;#229; dette i form av direkte bes&amp;oslash;k p&amp;#229; sidene. Deres nettside verdsettes av s&amp;oslash;kemotorene, og disse lenkene kan gj&amp;oslash;re sidene mer synlige for s&amp;oslash;kemotorene.&amp;#187; Blant klientene sine nevnte salgsrepresentanten finanssider, reisebyr&amp;#229;er og legemiddelfirmaer.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Det er uten tvil i forbindelse med disse politiske sp&amp;oslash;rsm&amp;#229;lene, som det finnes radikalt forskjellige meninger om p&amp;#229; nettet, at Google virkelig viser sine begrensninger. De matematiske kriteriene kan faktisk gi fordeler til visse standpunkter og gi ufortjent oppmerksomhet til skrifter som bare uttrykker holdningene til noen f&amp;#229; mennesker. Det grunnlaget og den overrepresentasjonen som &amp;#171;de f&amp;oslash;rst ankomne&amp;#187; nyter godt av p&amp;#229; nettet, og mengden av lenker de har (spesielt i forbindelse med det i stor grad amerikanske we&lt;B&gt;blog&lt;/B&gt;-fenomenet), avgj&amp;oslash;r matematisk hvem som til enhver tid utropes til &amp;#171;tankens mestere&amp;#187; hos Google. N&amp;#229;r det gjelder tekniske og praktiske sp&amp;oslash;rsm&amp;#229;l, har s&amp;oslash;kemotoren helt klart best&amp;#229;tt testen med glans. Men det finnes omr&amp;#229;der hvor relevansen g&amp;#229;r algoritmene hus forbi.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!-- End brodtekst --&gt;

Nye amerikanske ord griper ofte forstyrrende inn i v&amp;#229;r lingvistiske rutine, men av og til svarer de til virkelige oppfinnelser. Blogs er personlige dagb&amp;oslash;ker p&amp;#229; nettet. De lages med enkel programvare som gj&amp;oslash;r det mulig &amp;#229; skrive en tekst p&amp;#229; datamaskinen, koble seg til nettet og sende den &amp;oslash;yeblikkelig til den opprettede hjemmesiden. Webloggene blander med hensikt informasjon og meningsytringer, og ledsages gjerne av lenker til prim&amp;aelig;rkilder, andre blogs eller artikler som webloggeren kommenterer eller nevner for sitt publikum. Den aller f&amp;oslash;rste webloggen s&amp;#229; dagens lys i 1994 og tilskrives Dave Winter, som har utviklet en av de mest brukte programvarene (Manila).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;De s&amp;#229;kalte &amp;#171;warblogs&amp;#187;, eller &amp;#171;krigslogger&amp;#187;, oppsto etter 11. september 2001 etter initiativ fra konservative kommentatorer. De &amp;oslash;nsket seg en enda mer patriotisk tiln&amp;aelig;rming til hendelsene enn den de store og s&amp;#229;kalte &amp;#171;liberale&amp;#187; &amp;#150; alts&amp;#229; for venstrevridde &amp;#150; mediene hadde. Men Irak-konflikten har gitt fenomenet en mer generell betydning, og det betegner i dag f&amp;oslash;rst og fremst blogs viet Irak-krigen.&lt;V&gt;1&lt;V&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;En unders&amp;oslash;kelse av amerikanernes bruk av Internett under Irak-krigen viser at 55 % av dem utvekslet epost om emnet. Et ikke ubetydelig antall personer benyttet andre informasjonskilder enn de tradisjonelle mediene. De amerikanske brukerne av nettstedet til det britiske BBC, som oppfattes som et mer objektivt forum, &amp;oslash;kte med 47 %. Tilsvarende tall for The Guardians nettsted &amp;#150; som er mer kritisk &amp;#150; var en &amp;oslash;kning p&amp;#229; hele 83 %.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Den mest ber&amp;oslash;mte warbloggeren er en iraker som g&amp;#229;r under &amp;#171;blogpseudonymet&amp;#187; Salam Pax (&amp;#171;fred&amp;#187; p&amp;#229; arabisk og latin).&lt;V&gt;2&lt;V&gt; I krasse vendinger kritiserte han f&amp;oslash;rst Saddam Hussein, senere bombeangrepene, mens han n&amp;#229; for tiden g&amp;#229;r til felts mot de amerikanske okkupantene. Salam Pax gir et mer levende bilde av livet i Bagdad f&amp;oslash;r, under og etter den milit&amp;aelig;re invasjonen enn flesteparten av de utenlandske korrespondentene. Enkelte har pr&amp;oslash;vd &amp;#229; fremstille ham som agent for diktaturet eller for CIA, men friskheten i formidlingen hans har trukket s&amp;#229; mange brukere til hjemmesidene hans at linjen p&amp;#229; et tidspunkt nesten ble sprengt! De st&amp;oslash;rste mediene har skrevet artikler om ham, og The Guardian har nylig engasjert ham som kronik&amp;oslash;r to ganger i m&amp;#229;neden.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Flere journalister, tilstede i Irak eller ikke, har ogs&amp;#229; skrevet warblogs. Kevin Sites i CNN ble n&amp;oslash;dt til &amp;#229; legge ned sin etter ordre fra kanalen han arbeider for. Andre warblogs har pr&amp;oslash;vd &amp;#229; samle s&amp;#229; mye informasjon som mulig om konflikten. Noen har ogs&amp;#229; st&amp;oslash;ttet krigen: &amp;#171;Blogs of War&amp;#187; oppfordret for eksempel f&amp;oslash;rst sitt publikum til &amp;#229; st&amp;oslash;tte de amerikanske troppene, samt organisere pro-amerikanske aksjoner og anti-franske aksjoner (i USA). Deretter forsatte de kampen ved &amp;#229; g&amp;#229; til felts mot anti-G8-aktivistene.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;En skal allikevel ikke overdrive fenomenets omfang. Det er ikke s&amp;#229; veldig mange personer som benytter seg av webloggene. En rapport fra Pew Center avsl&amp;oslash;rer at &amp;#171;Webloggene interesserer et begrenset antall Internettbrukere, men de representerer fremdeles ikke en informasjons- og kommentarkilde for hovedparten av brukerne. Fire prosent av de amerikanerne som har tilgang til Internett, benytter webloggene for &amp;#229; finne frem til nyheter og synspunkter. Det totale antallet er s&amp;#229; lite at det er umulig &amp;#229; trekke meningsb&amp;aelig;rende statistiske konklusjoner om brukerne av dem&amp;#187;.&lt;V&gt;3&lt;V&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I rapporten hevdes det at Internett f&amp;oslash;rst og fremst har fungert som et middel til f&amp;#229; tilgang til varierte kilder (skj&amp;oslash;nt internettbrukerne i USA st&amp;oslash;ttet krigen i st&amp;oslash;rre grad enn andre). Men det tilf&amp;oslash;yes: &amp;#171;Krigens motstandere benyttet seg av webloggene p&amp;#229; en noe mer intens m&amp;#229;te enn de som st&amp;oslash;ttet den&amp;#187;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Ross Mayfield, direkt&amp;oslash;r for Socialtext, en bedrift som produserer en programvare hvis m&amp;#229;l er &amp;#229; fremme sosiale relasjoner, konkluderer ut fra rapporten at antallet &amp;#171;bloggere&amp;#187; n&amp;aelig;rmer seg 3 millioner. Blogger.com, et nettsted og samtidig program for avispublikasjoner, nylig oppkj&amp;oslash;pt av Google, har mer enn 1 million brukere. Den brasilianske versjonen har allerede mer enn 300 000.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Webloggenes betydning skyldes delvis den innflytelsen de har p&amp;#229; journalistene. De har flere ganger tvunget mediene til &amp;#229; omtale saker som ikke &amp;#171;kom ut&amp;#187;, for eksempel de rasistiske uttalelsene til den tidligere sjefen for republikanerflertallet i Senatet, Trent Lott, som m&amp;#229;tte fratre stillingen h&amp;oslash;sten 2002. Dan Gillmor, fremtredende kronik&amp;oslash;r i San Jos&amp;eacute; Mercury og forfatter av den f&amp;oslash;rste webloggen skrevet av en journalist &amp;#150; for &amp;oslash;vrig publisert p&amp;#229; hjemmesidene til San Jos&amp;eacute; Mercury&lt;I&gt; &lt;/I&gt;&amp;#150; mener for sin del at warblogs tilfredsstiller et avgj&amp;oslash;rende behov: de siler den enorme informasjonsmassen, og hjelper oss til &amp;#229; finne frem til det viktigste materialet.&amp;#187;&amp;#133;. De utgj&amp;oslash;r likevel bare en liten del av et langt st&amp;oslash;rre fenomen.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;For webloggene er n&amp;#229; blitt en del av det offentlige domene. De st&amp;oslash;rste mediene publiserer blogs &amp;#150; for eksempel The Guardian&lt;V&gt;4&lt;V&gt; og MSNBC&lt;V&gt;5&lt;V&gt;. Det dreier seg om personlige dagb&amp;oslash;ker, fortegnelser, loggb&amp;oslash;ker eller en blanding av alt dette, som forfatterne skriver fra dag til dag, endog fra time til time. Disse webloggene kan v&amp;aelig;re individuelle eller kollektive.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Formen er stadig litt famlende. Den befinner seg i grenselandet mellom det intime og det offentlige, og blir for hver dag som g&amp;#229;r, stadig mer komplisert. Eksempelvis har det dukket opp s&amp;#229;kalte &amp;#171;photoblogs&amp;#187; eller &amp;#171;moblogs&amp;#187;, mobile weblogger som man kan forsyne med stemme, bilde eller SMS-meldinger overf&amp;oslash;rt direkte fra mobiltelefon. Den personlige tonen og lenkene som gj&amp;oslash;r det mulig &amp;#229; g&amp;#229; direkte til prim&amp;aelig;rkilden forfatteren henviser til, er sannsynligvis de to mest fremtredende kjennetegnene p&amp;#229; hva en blog er (men det finnes like mange definisjoner som det finnes &amp;#171;bloggere&amp;#187;).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Fenomenet er helt i overensstemmelse med det som er Internetts hovedkvalitet: en kommunikasjon som enten er &amp;#171;many to many&amp;#187; eller &amp;#150; som epost og chat &amp;#150; horisontal. Det viktige er ikke &amp;#229; viske ut avstander, men &amp;#229; kommunisere intenst med personer man ikke kjenner. Webloggenes s&amp;aelig;rtrekk er at de gj&amp;oslash;r denne kommunikasjonen offentlig. Og da m&amp;#229; man stille seg sp&amp;oslash;rsm&amp;#229;let om &amp;#171;bloggerne&amp;#187; er journalister.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Det f&amp;oslash;rste som skiller dem fra tradisjonell journalisme, er frav&amp;aelig;ret av et eksternt blikk f&amp;oslash;r artikkelen blir publisert. Det ble hevdet p&amp;#229; en konferanse p&amp;#229; Berkeley-universitetes journalistutdanning 17. september 2002. Det finnes ingen redaksjonssekret&amp;aelig;r. Men samspillet med leserne viser seg &amp;#229; v&amp;aelig;re til god hjelp. &amp;#171;De sender meg epost for &amp;#229; rette skrivefeilene&amp;#187;, fortalte Meg Hourihan, grunnleggeren av Blogger.com.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Paul Grabowicz, som forleser om blogs p&amp;#229; Berkeley, mener at &amp;#171;bloggerne samlet gj&amp;oslash;r noe som likner veldig p&amp;#229; reportasjer&amp;#187;, selv om formen passer bedre for kronik&amp;oslash;rer og lederskribenter. Dan Gillmor mener at &amp;#171;webloggene inng&amp;#229;r i den mekanismen som ender i journalisme&amp;#187;. Han gjentar ustanselig: &amp;#171;V&amp;#229;re lesere, v&amp;#229;re lyttere, v&amp;#229;re tilskuere vet tilsammen mer, mye mer, enn det vi vet&amp;#187;. Ut fra en slik konstatering taler han for en journalisme som er mer lik en &amp;#171;samtale&amp;#187; enn en &amp;#171;forelesning&amp;#187;. Scott Rosemberg, sjefsredakt&amp;oslash;r i Salon.com, mener at webloggene lystrer &amp;#171;en slags ego-&amp;oslash;konomi&amp;#187;. &amp;Aring; publisere egne meninger og &amp;#229; f&amp;#229; kommentarer p&amp;#229; dem, f&amp;#229;r en til &amp;#229; &amp;#171;f&amp;oslash;le seg vel&amp;#187;. For Steven Johnson, tidligere redakt&amp;oslash;r for det n&amp;#229; nedlagte internett-tidsskriftet Feed, &amp;#171;har den virkelige revolusjonen blog-galaksen gir l&amp;oslash;fter om, ingenting med journalisme &amp;#229; gj&amp;oslash;re. Det dreier seg om &amp;#229; forvalte kunnskaper&amp;#187;. Og han tilf&amp;oslash;yer: &amp;#171;Det som gj&amp;oslash;r webbloggene interessante, er nettopp det at de ikke er journalistiske&amp;#187;. Vi kan ikke stole p&amp;#229; webloggene, og enda mindre p&amp;#229; de tradisjonelle mediene som vi vet kan lyve og ta feil. &amp;Aring; feile er lett. Men bloglenkene utgj&amp;oslash;r en viktig troverdighetsfaktor, siden de gj&amp;oslash;r at leserne kan g&amp;#229; direkte til prim&amp;aelig;rkildene (som alltid m&amp;#229; sjekkes).&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Den nye blog-b&amp;oslash;lgen er s&amp;#229; sterk at Dave Winer har inng&amp;#229;tt et veddem&amp;#229;l med Martin Nisenholtz, sjefen for nettstedet til New York Times, om at bloggene om fem &amp;#229;r vil representere en st&amp;oslash;rre autoritet enn dagens beste aviser. Han hevder at mediene &amp;#171;da vil ha forandret seg s&amp;#229; radikalt at informerte personer vil kontakte &amp;#171;bloggere&amp;#187; de har tillit til, for &amp;#229; finne den informasjonen de trenger&amp;#187;. Dave Winer regner ikke med at avisene vil forsvinne, men interesserer seg for medienes nye &amp;oslash;kologi n&amp;#229;r de rives med av den horisontale kommunikasjonen. Selv forretningsverdenen oppdager webloggene. Ideactif, et kanadisk selskap som lager nettsteder, &amp;#229;pnet en kollektiv weblogg i januar 2000: &amp;#171;Vi er hele tiden tilkoblet Internett, skriver de, og oppdager ofte informasjon som kan virke nyttig, stimulere tanken eller ganske enkelt er morsom. Webloggen er et middel til &amp;#229; dele kunnskaper p&amp;#229; en enkelt og effektiv m&amp;#229;te&amp;#187;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Blogs kan ogs&amp;#229; tjene til &amp;#229; dele kunnskaper internt i en bedrift. If&amp;oslash;lge datakonsulent Amy Wohl, er webloggene &amp;#171;for de ansatte en behagelig m&amp;#229;te &amp;#229; dele ett og samme middel til &amp;#229; s&amp;oslash;ke, analysere og velge ut informasjon&amp;#187;. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Naturlig nok er det derfor mange som mener at det er gode penger &amp;#229; tjene p&amp;#229; webloggene. Andrew Sullivan, den mest kjente &amp;#171;bloggeren&amp;#187;, hevder at han gikk &amp;#171;fra 805 000 brukere i mars 2002 til 1,88 millioner i mars 2003&amp;#187;. Det burde det bli penger av. Sannsynligvis for Sullivan, men if&amp;oslash;lge internettanalytikeren Clay Shirky b&amp;oslash;r man ikke ha for store illusjoner. Publikasjon av tekster p&amp;#229; tradisjonelt vis skaper sin verdi ut i fra arbeidet de krever, men ogs&amp;#229; p&amp;#229; grunn av utvelgelsen publiseringen inneb&amp;aelig;rer. Internett generelt og webloggene spesielt dreper dette: &amp;#171;De er s&amp;#229; effektive distribusjonsredskaper for det skrevne ord at de gj&amp;oslash;r publikasjonen til en aktivitet som &amp;oslash;konomisk sett ikke har noen verdi&amp;#187;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;De suksessfulle &amp;#171;bloggerne&amp;#187; kan h&amp;#229;pe p&amp;#229; litt reklame, litt finansiell st&amp;oslash;tte via annonser eller gaver, men deres anseelse vil nok &amp;oslash;ke mer ved hjelp av en bok eller en kronikk i en tradisjonell avis. N&amp;#229;r det gjelder fast ansatte journalister som skriver weblogger, f&amp;#229;r de sjelden betalt for det. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Er dette ille? Slett ikke. &amp;#171;Verdiutslettelsen er nettopp det som gj&amp;oslash;r webloggene s&amp;#229; viktige, p&amp;#229;st&amp;#229;r Shirky. Vi &amp;oslash;nsker oss en verden hvor vi ikke trenger verken hjelp eller tillatelse til &amp;#229; skrive h&amp;oslash;yt og tydelig&amp;#187;. Enhver &amp;#171;blogger&amp;#187; henvender seg f&amp;oslash;rst og fremst til en begrenset krets av venner og kolleger, &amp;#171;hvor deltakelsen i samtalen gir ham en personlig tilfredsstillelse&amp;#187;. Han fremmer fremveksten av nye, sosiale nettverk. Webloggene fremst&amp;#229;r dermed som en av flere fortellerformer som er spesifikke for Internett. Ispedd en god porsjon narsissisme beretter de den globale og fragmenterte historien om verden i dag. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;!-- End brodtekst --&gt;

			<description>&lt;STRONG&gt;Star: XML could become new &lt;FONT face=Geneva,Arial,Sans-Serif size=4&gt;lingua franca&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=f&gt;By &lt;A href=&quot;mailto:miker@cnet.com&quot;&gt;Mike Ricciuti&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Staff Writer, CNET News.com&lt;BR&gt;November 8, 2001, 4:00 a.m. PT 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;In a few short years, a once obscure technology bearing the unremarkable name of Extensible Markup Language has gone from a dry-as-dust specification to the center of the newest Web revolution. &lt;/B&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Like the title character in Woody Allen&apos;s movie &quot;Zelig,&quot; whenever industry luminaries--Microsoft&apos;s Bill Gates, Oracle&apos;s Larry Ellison, Sun Microsystems&apos; Scott McNealy--take the stage to tout their companies&apos; Web services strategies, XML is right there. Although it predates the Web services stampede, the technology seems almost custom-made for development of the trend. 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;NEWSELEMENT type=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG height=103 alt=&quot;The main problem is the very buzz about XML as the solution for all needs.&quot; hspace=10 src=&quot;http://news.com.com/i/ne/en/2001/11/Web/star4_q1.gif&quot; width=221 align=right vspace=10 border=0&gt; &lt;/NEWSELEMENT&gt;But as with many new technologies, initial enthusiasm and unrelenting hype have combined to blur an understanding of what XML is and where the technology fits in Web services development--which itself is just emerging and still being defined. Some issues being debated are XML file size, the handling of mixed media such as voice and video, and the safeguarding of data in a document created with the language. 
&lt;P&gt;&quot;The main problem is the very buzz about XML as the solution for all needs,&quot; said John E. Simpson, an XML specialist who has been a programmer for more than 20 years. 
&lt;P&gt;Classified as a &quot;page description language,&quot; it is something closer to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)--the current lingua franca of the Web--than to true programming languages such as Java or Visual Basic. Just as HTML helped fuel the first great wave of the Web&apos;s popularity, XML is poised to spur a new world of Web-based services that promise to make technology more usable. 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;NEWSELEMENT type=&quot;table&quot;&gt;
&lt;TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=155 align=left bgColor=#f0f0df border=0 hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot;&gt;
&lt;TBODY&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;&lt;IMG height=23 src=&quot;http://news.com.com/i/ne/pre/Graphics/commentary_hed.gif&quot; width=155&gt;&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 width=155 border=0&gt;
&lt;TBODY&gt;
&lt;TR&gt;
&lt;TD&gt;&lt;FONT face=&quot;arial, helvetica&quot; size=-1&gt;&lt;B&gt;Gartner&lt;/B&gt; analyst Mary Knox says each industry is fighting its own XML standards battle, and financial services offers an example of how difficult the battle can be. 
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://news.com.com/news/0-1003-201-7820658-0.html?tag=st.ne.ni.gartnerbox.gartnercomm&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG height=16 src=&quot;http://news.com.com/i/ne/pre/Graphics/nextbutton.gif&quot; width=20 align=left border=0&gt; &lt;B&gt;see commentary&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/NEWSELEMENT&gt;XML grew out of the publishing world as a way to describe the contents of documents exchanged over the Web. One of the language&apos;s key qualities is that it is readable by people, not just machines, making systems easy to debug. 
&lt;P&gt;The language provides terms used to define a Web document&apos;s tags--that is, the elements of the document that describe its various pieces--and the relationships between them. Developers at either end of a data exchange then agree to use a common set of tags. In this way, XML is uniquely flexible and versatile: It can be used to describe tennis balls or tires, employment contracts or engine parts. 
&lt;P&gt;That flexibility, however, can also present a problem. Because each XML transfer includes a large amount of information describing the data contained in it, file sizes can quickly mushroom. 
&lt;P&gt;Some companies have found XML files too big, especially when the transmission already carries large amounts of primary data. Humana, a regional health insurance company based in Louisville, Ky., uses XML to transmit some of its claims information to health care providers and other partners but relies on decades-old electronic data interchange systems for the bulk of its transfer needs. 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;NEWSELEMENT type=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG height=181 alt=&quot;XML is much more flexible. But it&apos;s not a well-standardized world yet, so when people talk about XML they are still trying to evolve standards around how data will be defined, and so on. -Brian LeClaire, vice president of information technology, Humana&quot; hspace=10 src=&quot;http://news.com.com/i/ne/en/2001/11/Web/star4_q2.gif&quot; width=234 align=right vspace=10 border=0&gt; &lt;/NEWSELEMENT&gt;Yet Brian LeClaire, a vice president of information technology at Humana, said XML is the best technology available for data transmissions, adding that it will improve as industry standards are adopted. 
&lt;P&gt;&quot;XML is much more flexible,&quot; he said. &quot;But it&apos;s not a well-standardized world yet, so when people talk about XML they are still trying to evolve standards around how data will be defined, and so on.&quot; 
&lt;P&gt;XML&apos;s creators at the World Wide Web Consortium don&apos;t see the language&apos;s propensity for weight gain as an obstacle. In fact, a &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.w3.org/XML/1999/XML-in-10-points&quot;&gt;document&lt;/A&gt; describing XML and posted to the W3C&apos;s Web site states that XML is &quot;verbose, but that is not a problem. That was a conscious decision by the XML developers. The advantages of a text format are evident...and the disadvantages can usually be compensated.&quot; 
&lt;P&gt;Those advantages are apparently clear to Microsoft, which has in large part defined Web services through a high-pitched marketing campaign for its .Net strategy. XML is the technological &lt;A href=&quot;http://news.com.com/news/0-1003-200-5112931.html&quot;&gt;linchpin&lt;/A&gt; of the .Net services plan. 
&lt;P&gt;&quot;XML is the next revolution on the horizon,&quot; Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said at an industry conference earlier this year. 
&lt;P&gt;Sun, Oracle and IBM have also lauded XML and its central role in the Web services world, as have other major players. &quot;XML has many really strong, positive characteristics, and that is why we have chosen it for more or less the foundation of everything we do,&quot; said Ray Ozzie, founder of Groove Networks and creator of Lotus Notes. 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;Going beyond Web pages&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;One of XML&apos;s key strengths is its application beyond Web pages. For example, the language can be used to exchange vital information for business transactions--such as shoe sizes, shipping crate numbers or the vintage of a case of wine--between different computing systems that would otherwise be unable to communicate. 
&lt;P&gt;In this way, XML is unparalleled for broadcasting data between servers and to Web pages as part of a Web services architecture. Many of the first uses of XML-based Web services are for unglamorous yet essential data-exchange applications. 
&lt;P&gt;&lt;NEWSELEMENT type=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG height=144 alt=&quot;XML has many really strong, positive characteristics, and that is why we have chosen it for more or less the foundation of everything we do. -Ray Ozzie, founder, Groove Networks&quot; hspace=10 src=&quot;http://news.com.com/i/ne/en/2001/11/Web/star4_q3.gif&quot; width=226 align=left vspace=10 border=0&gt; &lt;/NEWSELEMENT&gt;In HTML, a markup language that defines elements of Web pages, a vocabulary used by all developers has been defined by standards organizations. The HTML terms used to describe a Web page based on a server in Prague are the same as those used in Detroit. 
&lt;P&gt;XML, by contrast, describes the language used to define documents. That is, it&apos;s used when no preset vocabulary exists. 
&lt;P&gt;&quot;In XML, you are defining the data, the names you call the data, and the relationship of all data to one another,&quot; Humana&apos;s LeClaire said. 
&lt;P&gt;While Web services pioneers find ways to adapt XML, the W3C is tackling new parts of the language that could play a key role in advancing the trend, such as technologies involving multimedia and security. Last month, the organization posted a draft specification for VoiceXML 2.0, which is designed to bring synthesized speech, spoken and touch-tone commands, digitized audio, and computer-human conversations to the Web. 
&lt;P&gt;The W3C also is soliciting comment from programmers on how best to encrypt data transmitted using XML. A draft of a specification has been posted, and final debate is slated for this month. 
&lt;P&gt;As with all other evolving technologies, the progress of Web services will mean that other areas will be more fully defined either through standards or through accepted workarounds. 
&lt;P&gt;Dan Bricklin is confident that it will be only a matter of time before Web services take off. As the co-inventor of the first PC spreadsheet, VisiCalc, and one of those who helped start the personal computer revolution two decades ago, he has seen other major technologies go through similar growing pains. 
&lt;P&gt;&quot;A lot of what we are building today we are building for the first time,&quot; Bricklin said. &quot;And we don&apos;t fully understand it.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;IMG height=8 src=&quot;http://news.com.com/i/ne/en/2001/11/Web/web_endbox.gif&quot; width=8&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;Kicking Radio&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Periodically I get email from new Salon bloggers who&apos;ve downloaded Radio Userland and tried to post to their new blog, only to find themselves thoroughly confused by Radio&apos;s innovative but initially hard-to-fathom &quot;desktop webserver&quot; approach.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Recently, rather than try to fumblingly explain what&apos;s really going on myself, I&apos;ve just been pointing people to &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/kickstart/chapter2a.html&quot;&gt;this chapter&lt;/A&gt; of Rogers Cadenhead&apos;s book &quot;Radio UserLand Kick Start,&quot; which explains how to start a Radio blog.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There&apos;s more about the whole book &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/kickstart/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;. By putting that chapter online Rogers has performed a great public service (since the documentation from UserLand is not as extensive as it could be). Thanks!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In an amusing side note, Cadenhead, who also has long maintained the &quot;alterna-Drudge&quot; site &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.drudge.com/&quot;&gt;Drudge Retort&lt;/A&gt; at the &quot;drudge.com&quot; domain name, reports that &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/2004/02/03.html&quot;&gt;his server was brought to its knees&lt;/A&gt; Monday by crazed Web surfers desperately turning to Drudge for their fix of Janet Jackson&apos;s breast-flesh.

			<description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=red&gt;Jeg legger ut en overikt over de mest brukte programmene - ut fra en &quot;systematisk&quot; registrering. Om alle programmene som er i bruk er med her er ikke godt &amp;#229; si men det gir i alle fall en indikasjon. For dem som gjerne vil kikke p&amp;#229; programmene, eller kanskje teste ut ett (de fleste har en gratis pr&amp;oslash;vetid p&amp;#229; 1 m&amp;#229;ned) s&amp;#229; er her litt &amp;#229; velge mellom. Som jeg har sagt nedenfor har vi flere europeiske programmer, men det alt vesentligste befinner seg i USA.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;H2&gt;Standalone Tools&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&quot;Standalone tools&quot; are software packages that you install and configure on your own machine. Typically a standalone tool serves just one blogger.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;

			<description>&lt;H3 class=note id=n57202 align=center&gt;A new demonstration of blogs power&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=red&gt;Franske Lois Le Meur som Ophelia skrev om for noen dager siden, og som tilbyr sitt franske U-blog-program til Europa vurderer &amp;#229; tilpasse programmet til tysk. Le Meurs egen blog kan du ogs&amp;#229; lese p&amp;#229; engelsk. I utgangspunktet er ikke programmet spr&amp;#229;kavhengig men det blir selvsagt litt tungvint med support for dem som ikke behersker fransk. Jeg har heller ikke funnet noen fransk blog via U-blog som benytter engelsk, bortsett fra Le Meurs egen. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT color=red&gt;Her kommer et klipp fra Le Meurs egen blogg fra 4. februar 2004: (Klikk p&amp;#229; linjen nedenfor der det st&amp;#229;r reply 8 s&amp;#229; f&amp;#229;r du opp Le Meurs egen blog).&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;DIV class=jour&gt;
&lt;P class=note id=n57196&gt;Mario Sixtus blogged Joi, Ethan, Jay and me in Frankfurter Rundschau and future launch in Germany&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;DIV class=note&gt;Thank you Mario, for blogging me in &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.fr-aktuell.de/ressorts/wissen/netzwerk/?cnt=380892&quot;&gt;Frankfurter Runfschau&lt;/A&gt;, for non German speakers like me, here is &lt;A href=&quot;http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fr-aktuell.de%2Fressorts%2Fwissen%2Fnetzwerk%2F%3Fcnt%3D380892&amp;amp;langpair=de%7Cen&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;c2coff=1&amp;amp;prev=%2Flanguage_tools&quot;&gt;the Google translation&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I am actually considering a German launch of &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.u-blog.net/site/&quot;&gt;Ublog&lt;/A&gt; very soon, I already have some friends and valuable contacts, but if you would like to help me, please let me know. We would be looking for a full time business development person very soon as well as help for the translation and localization of the site immediately. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Thank you for your help ! If you are interested, please &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.u-blog.net/loic/ecrire&quot;&gt;drop me a line here&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;/DIV&gt;

&lt;P class=note id=n57192&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I blogged for the Guardian today - new blog powered media appearing&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;DIV class=note&gt;I am not a journalist, for sure. I am a blogger and I blogged today for &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/&quot;&gt;The Guardian&lt;/A&gt;, on&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/businesssolutions/story/0,12581,1133097,00.html&quot;&gt;&quot;Minding your own business &lt;BR&gt;French entrepreneur Lo&amp;iuml;c Le Meur offers seven golden rules - for doing nothing&quot;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Few weeks ago, &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.completetosh.com/&quot;&gt;Neil McInstosh&lt;/A&gt; who is Online Deputy editor of &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/&quot;&gt;The Guardian&lt;/A&gt;, London, read some of my notes about creating a company and what bloggers say about it. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.completetosh.com/&quot;&gt;Neil&lt;/A&gt; sent me an email asking me if I would agree to write an article for him about the value of the idea in the process of starting a business, for a fee. What was very strange for me is on the one hand the fact that he found me on my blog and on the other hand it was the first time I would get my ideas published directly in a newspaper without going through the mind of a journalist. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;It is very interesting how I see two type of journalists or editors emerging. The ones who get the blogging and the others. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Here is what Neil says about blogging and journalism: &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&quot;We&apos;re finding that blogs are a very useful source for us to find new and interesting people to write for us. Late last year, we even got a reader of &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.onlineblog.com/&quot;&gt;our own weblog&lt;/A&gt; to write a comment piece for us, after he left some very interesting comments on one of our entries. It&apos;s all part of the wider discussion that weblogs are provoking, both about the news and the nature of news.&quot;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I also met &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.alwayson-network.com/members/profile_view_ind.php?id=5&quot;&gt;Tony Perkins &lt;/A&gt;, of &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.alwayson-network.com/index.php&quot;&gt;Always-On &lt;/A&gt;in Davos. I will soon blog about Tony and Always-On in more details but clearly he is inventing a new form of media based on bloggers, with the people behind &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.weblogsinc.com/&quot;&gt;Weblogs-Inc&lt;/A&gt; (I would love to meet them too by the way) and more recently TJ who just launched in Germany &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.creative-weblogging.com/&quot;&gt;Creative Weblogging&lt;/A&gt;. It seems TJ is also trying to launch a new type of media, blogs powered, here is &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.tjacobi.com/archives/000612.html&quot;&gt;what he says about it.&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Interesting. There is only one thing that I am sure about, the traditional media companies that do not get it will lose some of their audience to the ones who get it, like &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/&quot;&gt;The Guardian.&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What do you think about that ? &lt;/DIV&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=purple size=4&gt;Ingenting er som f&amp;oslash;r (internett).&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;FONT color=red size=4&gt;Ophelia&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT color=black size=2&gt;Nei, ingenting er som f&amp;oslash;r. Men det har det nok aldri v&amp;aelig;rt heller. I alle fall ikke som f&amp;oslash;r internett. Som jeg skrev for noen dager siden er det mindre enn ti &amp;#229;r siden internett ble tilgjengelig for oss vanlige folk. I l&amp;oslash;pet av den korte tiden siden det har nettet snudd opp ned p&amp;#229; det meste. P&amp;#229; det politiske, &amp;oslash;konomiske, sosiale og kulturelle hopehav mellom mennesker. Ikke minst er organisasjonslivet endret, f.eks. med den kontakt det kan etableres til alle medlemmer via blogs.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;I s&amp;#229; stor grad er livet endret at vi kan driste oss til &amp;#229; mene at internett representerer en ny &quot;verdensordning&quot; n&amp;#229;r det gjelder informasjon og kommunikasjon.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Ingentin er alts&amp;#229; som f&amp;oslash;r, og hastigheten og p&amp;#229;liteligheten i nettet bare &amp;oslash;ker. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;men denne omveltningen kommer f&amp;oslash;rst og fremst de rike nasjoner til gode, dem som allerede har nok. Omveltningen forverrer &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.europarl.eu.int/meetdocs/committees/itre/200/204/425108da.doc&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=blue&gt;den digitale kl&amp;oslash;ften&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Omveltningen f&amp;oslash;rer alts&amp;#229; til en stadig dypere avgrunn mellom dem som fr&amp;#229;tser og dem som sulter. Kl&amp;oslash;ften forsterker og tydeliggj&amp;oslash;r det tradisjonelle gapet mellom Nord og S&amp;oslash;r. Blir ikke noe gjort vil de mindre utviklede landene bli totalt utestengt fra informasjons- og kommunikasjonsgodene.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;P&amp;#229; &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.itu.int/wsis&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=blue&gt;ITU-m&amp;oslash;tet&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; i Gen&amp;eacute;ve i midten av desember 2003 ble disse problemene dr&amp;oslash;ftet. Tre hovedomr&amp;#229;der ble ber&amp;oslash;rt p&amp;#229; konferansen og ikke ett av dem fikk en l&amp;oslash;sning. De vil bli tatt opp p&amp;#229; nytt i november 2005. I tiden frem til da kan vi dermed tenke gjennom f&amp;oslash;lgende problemstillinger:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Hvorfor lot det seg ikke gj&amp;oslash;re &amp;#229; opprette et &quot;digitalt solidaritetsfond&quot; for utjevning av det digitale gapet. 
&lt;LI&gt;Hvordan kan en forhindre at autorit&amp;aelig;re stater (les Kina, Cuba osv.) bruker internett til infiltrering og kontroll av egne innbyggere. &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/3434115.stm&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=blue&gt;Les om kinesisk kontroll.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ceip.org/files/Publications/wp21.asp&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=blue&gt;Og litt her&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. 
&lt;LI&gt;Hvordan skal internett reguleres og administreres.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Pr. dato er det USA som har kontrollen og holder styr p&amp;#229; adresser og nettstedenes domenenavn via Internet Corporation for Assignes Names and Numbers &lt;A href=&quot;http://.icannwatch.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=blue&gt;ICANN &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. 
&lt;P&gt;ICANN er direkte underlagt det amerikanske handelskammeret og dermed den amerikanske regjering. &lt;/P&gt;

			<description>&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT face=Geneva,Arial,Sans-Serif&gt;Blogs som et fantastisk redskap til selv-realisering.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT face=Geneva,Arial,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Ja, har vi ikke h&amp;oslash;rt det f&amp;oslash;r dette med &amp;#229; realisere seg selv. Og nok en gang er det skribenten, kunstneren eller akt&amp;oslash;ren i oss som skal fram og opp. &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.u-blog.net/loic/2004/01/24&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=blue&gt;Loic Le Meur&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;har v&amp;aelig;rt p&amp;#229; et flere dagers seminar i Davos - fra 20. til 25. januar 2004 som ble arrangert av &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.weforum.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT color=blue&gt;World Economic Forum&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; og blant annet dr&amp;oslash;ftet betydningen av blogs. Loic er ingen hvem som helst. Han driver sitt eget blogfirma i Frankrike og kjemper nok en kamp for &amp;#229; holde amerikansk dominans over blog-progrmmene i sjakk, i det minste i Frankrike. Han skriver mye om Davos-m&amp;oslash;tet p&amp;#229; sin hjemmeside som er referert ovenfor.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Som dere vil se har han deltatt i et debattpanel der han blant annet ivret for:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
