FontShop created a nifty online type-editor called FontStruct together with Web 2.0 features. It's a fairly simple program with lots of creative possibilities. I am particularly amazed by the black letter types created by the folks on the site.

Spime!

PROTOTIPO SPIME

Project Open Spime
da renzo358





Da un Idea di Bruce Sterling. Un fantastico gadget per raccogliere dati ambientali e pubblicarli sul web in maniera affidabile (crittata,identificata, geolocata) prodotto a TORINO

http://www.wordspy.com/words/spime.asp

We can call it a "Spime," which is a neologism for an imaginary object that is still speculative. A Spime also has a kind of person who makes it and uses it, and that kind of person is somebody called a "Wrangler." At the moment, you are end-using Gizmos. My thesis here, my prophesy to you, is that, pretty soon, you will be wrangling Spimes.

The most important thing to know about Spimes is that they are precisely located in space
and time. They have histories. They are recorded, tracked, inventoried, and always associated with a story.

Spimes have identities, they are protagonists of a documented process.

They are searchable, like Google. You can think of Spimes as being
auto-Googling objects.

Pultroppo wikipedia a deciso di censurare la voce SPIME : Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Spime
un altro grande esempio di cecita' e pecoronismo del tanto vantato "crowdsourcing"

Come _non_ funziona il capitalismo italiano?

AMMINISTRATORI IN CONDOMINIO *

di Carlo Drago , Andrea Polo e Paolo Santella 06.12.2007

Nel periodo 1998-2006 la grande maggioranza delle società quotate italiane è stata collegata in un'unica rete attraverso una piccola minoranza di amministratori. Un gruppo, questo, che mostra grande stabilità nel tempo e con componenti che spesso appartengono alle stesse famiglie. Assai alto il grado di connettività per le blue chips e in particolare per quasi tutte le principali società bancarie e finanziarie. Negli ultimi anni tende a ridursi il numero dei collegamenti, ma non delle società coinvolte, con una maggiore centralità di Mediobanca. E la concorrenza?
