10 Things to Avoid In Social Media
1. Does it (your e-book reader/service/tool, etc.) protect your privacy?
2. Does it tell you what it is doing?
3. What happens to additions you make to books you buy, like annotations, highlights, commentary?
4. Do you own the book or just rent or license it?
5. Is it censorship-resistant?
6. Is it burdened with digital rights management ("DRM")?
7. Does it promote access to knowledge?
8. Does it foster or inhibit competition and innovation?

"This open source self-check is a GNU licensed web application written in php.
It uses John Wohler's SIP2 php class to communicate with a library's integrated library system (ILS), jquery for ajax calls and other javascript tricks, and mysql for (optional) transaction logging.
It was designed to run on the Windows edition of Firefox Portable included in the download, which is set up with addons that start the self-check in fullscreen and trigger sounds on button clicks and is configured to suppress the printer dialog box (Firefox for OSX or Linux could likely be set up in the same way)."

Tagging Full Text Searchable Articles: An Overview of Social Tagging Activity in Historic Australian Newspapers August 2008 - August 2009
"Abstract
In August 2008, tagging was implemented on articles that were full text searchable within the National Library of Australia's historic Australian Newspapers service. During the first year, 500 users created over 100,000 tags, 38,000 of which were distinct. The tagging was very successful and the National Library will be extending the tagging functionality to all of its other collections before the end of 2009. In this article, the tagging activity, behaviors and outcomes are analyzed and compared with other research on image tagging.
Keywords: tagging, tags, social engagement, social metadata, user engagement, folksonomies, historic newspapers, Australian newspapers, full-text resources, web 2.0, user generated content, social tagging."

家庭にブロードバンドを導入していない成人を4つのカテゴリーに分類
(1) Digiltally Distant（距離がある層）
母集団の10％に相当。この層の半数の人が、インターネットは自分たちの生活にとって重要ではない、あるいは、ブロードバンドを導入するのに必要なデジタル・リテラシーを欠いている、と回答。
(2) Digitally Hopefuls（見込みのある層）
母集団の８％に相当。低所得層、特に、ヒスパニックとアフリカン・アメリカン。インターネットを利用したいが、資金がない。
(3) Digitally Uncomfortable（不便を感じている層）
母集団の7％に相当。コンピュータを持ちたいが、インターネットが提供する全てを活用するのに必要なスキルと関心を欠いている。
(4) Near Converts（切り替えが近い層）
母集団の10％に相当。家庭にブロードバンドを導入するのに、コストが最大の障壁になっている。
