Some stuff I’m reading this week… ABC News: Forget Phones: Companies Turn to TwitterMillions of people call customer service every
day, yet few are satisfied with the responses they get. What does a
frustrated consumer need to do to get prompt help?
Tweet. That’s right, tweet. Twitter is the newest social networking Internet site that asks its 50,000 users only one question when they log on: “What are you doing? The trick is to respond in 140 characters or less, which keeps posts short and pithy. Superstruct!

survive.
Super-threats are massively disrupting global society as we know it. There?s an entire generation of homeless people worldwide, as the number of climate refugees tops 250 million. Entrepreneurial chaos and ?the axis of biofuel? wreak havoc in the alternative fuel industry. Carbon quotas plummet as food shortages mount. The existing structures of human civilization?from families and language to corporate society and technological infrastructures?just aren?t enough. We need a new set of superstructures to rise above, to take humans to the next stage. You can help. Tell us your story. Strategize out loud. Superstruct now. It’s your legacy to the human race.

actually invest effort to help you towards your goals.
washingtonpost.com: Creative Commons Is Rewriting Rules of Copyright“No Meaning No” was released under an
innovative new licensing scheme called Creative Commons that some say may
be better suited to the electronic age than the hands-off mind-set that has
made copyright such a bad word among the digerati.
So far, more than 10 million other creations — ranging from the movie “Outfoxed” and songs by the Beastie Boys to the British Broadcasting Corp.’s news footage and the tech support books published under the O’Reilly label — have been distributed using these licenses. The idea has even won the support of Hilary Rosen, formerly of the Recording Industry Association of America, and Jack Valenti, the past head of the Motion Picture Association of America, who became known for their aggressive pursuit of people who share free, unauthorized copies via the Internet. Interest in Creative Commons licenses comes as artists, authors and traditional media companies begin to warm to the idea of the Internet as friend instead of foe and race to capitalize on technologies such as file-sharing and digital copying.

through the sale of chocolate bars, participants are educated about the
environment and sell eco-friendly products such as compact fluorescent
light bulbs and Klean Kanteens.
