Introduction

This blog is based off of Robin Sloan's EPIC 2015, an awe-inspiring presentation about the future of data and news. The key company is Google - with its extensive organizing technologies which supposedly will someday allow access to an unimaginable amount of concievable information. (EPIC 2015 is © Robin Sloan. Used with permission.)

I haven't updated this blog a lot, because of dwindling traffic. However, I'm slowly reviving it.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

Yahoo! Takes on Google Print

Monday, October 03, 2005

Yahoo! is now developing a competitor to Google Print, which may also be a violation of several copyright laws. I think I mentioned in one of my last posts that if Google continued to index the libraries and the courts were in favor of the Authors Guild, it would be the largest copyright violation in world history. Well now, double that.

However, Yahoo! says it will ask permission for each work before it is indexed, instead of after.

Yahoo! will call it the "Open Content Alliance", joining with Alexa's Internet Archive project and Adobe Systems, Inc. The OCA plans to release their content with more than just the Yahoo! Search, but details are a bit vague...
