"Similiar to Seeqpod and Songza, Just Hear It offers registered and unregistered users alike a seamless interface for song search and playlist creation, all from within the browser.
Just Hear It claims to be completely legal, following DMCA guidelines, and paying royalties to all of the major performing-rights organizations, like ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. In the future, Just Hear It aims to negotiate licenses to share revenue with labels. Currently, much of the music actually seems to come from YouTubeYouTube reviewsYouTube reviews - much like another site we recently reviewed, StreamDrag." - Mashable

...We simply want to make enough money from our projects to cover our operating costs and take some time off. With each one, we generate a little extra passive revenue, and with time we won’t have to work as hard as we do now. Again, it’s not unimaginable wealth we desire, but the freedom to do as we wish.
...We need to start paying for what we consume, but at reasonable prices.
Exactement ...To build this nice fabric of microprenuers, we need an era of micro-benefactors: those who pay a small sum to support the people who make the stuff we love.

"a bit"…Visitors can buy a T-shirt of their own choice, the only condition being that they share a bit of personal information about themselves, or more precisely: their name and address. When paying for the T-shirt at the museum-shop, the information is automatically mapped in Google Maps, thereby making it possible to see where each T-shirt ends up after leaving the museum.

Plutôt que de se battre sur le code source libre, les données *publiques* livres placées dans des silos, c'est plus dommageable.Why are our publicly funded libraries locked into a monopolistic relationship with a clearly greedy data supplier? Why are they paying thousands of pounds to access their own data? Why are the public, whose money is paying for this, locked out of the system?
BOX: Les Petites Morts »
by sbrothier
Many, many years ago, the 5 of us lamented the death of the smut rag. We had grown up under the legandary mantle of Playboy and its innocence, Penthouse and its penetrative expostions, and (for the lucky ones among us with cool older brothers or pervy dads), the no-holes barred Jugs and Hustler.
But then the Internet came along, and suddenly all the Vaseline™ on the lens couldn’t justify paying for porn when there was so much of it for free.
And yet, we remained unsatisfied. Sure, there was sometimes amazing porn to be found online, but it lacked the polish, the sheen. Plus, all joking aside, we missed the prose aspect of the smut magazine. As they say, the brain IS the largest sex organ (except on Chris, because DAMN. We’ve seen him in the shower.)

Finch Formats Web Sites for Really Slow Connections
by decembre
The universal, high-speed-everywhere web isn't quite a reality yet, as anyone who's used a relative's dial-up or a seriously weak airport connection can testify to. Web page re-formatting tool Finch gives you just the text, ma'am, from any site you plug into its address box, stripping Flash, JavaScript, stylesheets, and even images from the layout. Tools like this often crop up for mobile phones, such as Google's Mobilizer, but Finch is made for the desktop browser. Some sites will work better with their graphical navigators removed than others, of course, but for anyone stuck with a fist-poundingly slow connection, or paying for every megabyte, Finch is a great bookmarket to keep handy.

Message from David Plouffe: Midnight Deadline
by starmuscle
FROM BARACK OBAMA'S WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER:
Campaign Manager David Plouffe just sent this email out... Amanda --
This week, we saw the stark differences between Barack Obama and John McCain on the economy.
With Wall Street in crisis and families struggling, Barack offered a solid plan to strengthen the middle class, including tax cuts for nearly all Americans. John McCain continued the same old politics -- lying about Barack's plan and offering more of the same George Bush policies, including more tax breaks for Big Oil and no solutions for working families.
It's time for that kind of politics to change. And thanks to supporters like you, our movement has grown by more than 50,000 new donors this week. Now we're within reach of a new goal -- 100,000 new donors by midnight tonight.
With just 45 days left before the election, your support will affect crucial decisions about infrastructure in key battleground states. A donation now could have a big impact on voter registration and Get Out The Vote operations -- so please don't wait if you're planning to give.
And today, your donation will go twice as far. You can match the gift of a first-time donor and inspire them to own a piece of this campaign.
Can you make a donation before midnight tonight and double your impact?
Many voters are paying attention for the first time, and 1 in 10 is still undecided.
Now is a crucial time to expand our outreach through voter registration and getting as many people as possible out to vote for real change on November 4th.
Your donation today is crucial to these efforts across the country -- especially in the key battleground states where the cost to compete is extremely high, and the stakes are even higher.
Make a donation of $25 or more right now to help us reach our goal, and provide the resources we need to win:
https://donate.barackobama.com/promise
Thanks for everything you are doing,
David

Story vs. Book: The Future of Publishing | Booksquare
by karlcow
The idea of “publishing” is no longer a print book based model. As I noted above, the way consumers read is vastly different than it was even a decade ago, and if you’re paying attention to your Twitter account, it’s change, change, change, all the time. With this change comes new business models and relationships with authors.
AlstraSoft AskMe Pro - Start your very own Google Answers in minutes. Expert advice script

How does AskMe Pro work?
Asking A Question
Users first enter the question they wish to ask.
They will then select the category and specify how much they are willing to pay for an answer.
The question will be listed in the system and users also have option to upgrade the question priority by paying a deposit.
Answering A Question
Experts will browse the system to search for questions that are within their field of expertise.
Once an expert has identified a question to answer, the expert will post an answer and a bid amount.
The question will be locked for a predefined period of time set by the expert. A locked question is to ensure that only 1 expert is working on it at a time and other experts will not be able to post an answer to the question.
The user will be notified via email and can then proceed to making payment in order to unlock the answer provided by the expert.
Once the answer has been unlocked, the user can then rate the quality of the answer on the scale of 0-5 and the actual amount the expert will get for providing the answer is based on the rating the user gives.
Revenue Stream
The admin will first set the corresponding amount the experts will receive (as a percentage of the question price) for each rating from a scale of 0 to 5
Let's say the admin set the amount to be 50% of the question price for the rating of 5 and if the user gives the answer a rating of 5, the expert will get 50% ($2.50) and remaining amount goes to the admin.
