I agree. Comcast has a blog site - blog.comcast.com. I commented on a recent post responding to the FCC latest comments (specifically: http://blog.comcast.com/2010/01/comcast-the-fcc-and-open-internet-rules-where-we-stand.html), and I was shocked that mine was the only comment. I was even more shocked when I got a response to my comments - not posted on the board, but via email. It's nice to vent on a Comcast employee.

The media is in transition. There was a big jump in this opinion gathering thing when the various organizations began to have web sites that they wanted to promote but where not sure how. So, they direct you to their web site and feign interest in what you have to say and show advertisers their 'hit' count. Unfortunately all of our news gets diluted with these weak, uninformed comments.

amigoro writes "Here's an interesting experiment: Copy Google results pages from four different e-commerce queries. Tell 32 test subjects who are going to evaluate the results that the results were from four different search engines: Google, MSN Live Search, Yahoo! and an in-house engine created for the study. Then see which ones they rate as the best. As it turns out Google and Yahoo! win hands down, proving that even on the Internet it's all about branding."

AnonGirl writes: Big banks are launching mobile banks to "keep customers and generate more payment revenue down the line." Citibank is working on two pilots one with Obopay the other for contact less payments. AT&T phones will have Wachovia already installed in their phones by fourth quarter 2007. The downside: "Even though banks are not charging for their service, carriers do charge for accessing data through their phone."

brandonY writes: The founder of Creative Commons, the Stanford lawyer behind the "Eldred v. Ashcroft" case, and the author of "Code" has spent the last 10 years working tirelessly on behalf of limited copyright terms, net neutrality, and the public domain.
