昨天晚上，有一個關於Creative Commons 的會議舉行。
除了會議的發起人Rebacca 外，出席的成員有很多，包括Creative Commons International的Catharina Maracke、港大的教授、法律系的學生、及莊陳有先生、莫乃光先生、蕭逸生生、獨媒的阿藹等等，不能盡錄。

如一切順利的話，香港08年就會有自己版本的CC了。

Short summary of Web 2.0 seminar

from 852signal - Hong Kong Web 2.0 by Angus Lau

I was at a Web 2.0 seminar here in Hong Kong yesterday(25.7.2007) and heard more from speakers about what Web 2.0 is and isn’t. This was the pattern of the previous conference and this seminar. However, this seminar did include a company, m-gen,
that discussed Mobile 2.0 topics. Mobile 2.0 in Hong Kong is a topic
that I have yet to touch on and profile. I do know (ok, I lied, it’s
more like an assumption) that there aren’t too many startups here and
the market is up for grabs to anyone.

Talking Web 2.0 in Hong Kong

It was also fun chatting with a group of people who are doing some very interesting work for Outblaze
here in Hong Kong. They are now running a blogging platform for Sanrio
- which means Hello Kitty and everything in her family. I bet you
didn’t know that Hello Kitty fans are now blogging
in droves on a pretty sophisticated Wordpress Multiuser platform, with
video editing and other media creation tools included.� And they’re not
all fluff all the time.. one of them writes about Hong Kong censorship and the environment when not enthusing about the latest Hello Kitty gear. (Disclosure: Outblaze CEO Yat Siu is a friend of mine and Sanriotown sponsors the Japanese translation section on Global Voices.)

FreeBurner for Everyone

One of the many benefits that FeedBurner publishers will enjoy now that FeedBurner is part of the Google family is a little something we like to call, “more for free!” Beginning today, two of FeedBurner’s previously for-pay services, TotalStats and MyBrand, will be free. Not in the sense of soaring high above the clouds or recently sprung from the hoosegow, but free like you’ll no longer gladly be billed on Tuesday for a burned feed today. We suspect this will be welcome news to the 450,000+ of you using many of our other free services, but understanding that your feed is your feed, you will need to activate these newly freed-up services in order to partake in their awesomeness.

Happy Blogiversary

It’s been 10 years since the blog was born. Love them or hate them, they’ve roiled presidential campaigns and given everyman a global soapbox.
Twelve commentators — including Tom Wolfe, Newt Gingrich, the SEC’s Christopher Cox and actress-turned-blogger Mia Farrow — on what blogs mean to them.

香港沒有成人？──flickr過濾與淫審

全球四地區被過濾，香港佔一席位目前，全世界只有四個地方被flickr過，分別為德國、星加坡、南韓和香港，過濾系統分三級，safe（安全）、moderate和safe off（沒保障）。這四個地區以外的用戶，不用登入就能看到所有類別的相片，而用戶亦可以於自己的賬戶選擇不同的搜尋級別。德國的用戶，因為聯合投訴
flickr的過濾系統，成功爭取查看 safe和moderate級別的權限；但其他三地，則只能看
safe類別的相片，當你進入其他類別時，視窗會彈出「This photo is unavailable to you」（大家不妨試按「hyperlink」一文的照片連結，首先它會要求你登入，然後就會說你不能看這照片）。最大問題的是，這三個地區的用戶，是不能選擇觀看 moderate級別的相片。

根據flickr的解說，safe 分類是符合全球標準，moderate是artistic nude（藝術棵體），restricted的是十八歲以上能自我負責的成人。

這個政策背後隱含很多問題：１．為什麼香港會被定為 safe的類別？２．為什麼香港的用戶（即使夠十八歲）都不能選擇 safe off呢？３．三個類別的界線如何分野？有什麼準則？４．以用戶為基準的過濾會產生什麼問題？以下逐一探討：

WordPress.com June Stats

And the last super interesting fact on the June update is that WordPress.com uses 3 terabytes of bandwidth a day. If you are a technology guy, let that sink in for a second. That means WordPress.com is pushing 90 terabytes of transfer a month.

Technorati 的其中一個功能是找尋連結，知道有什麼人連結了你、引用了你的文章。所以，這個「最受歡迎」是計算最近六個月內，有多少連結連這到某一個Blog 中，從而推斷出該Blog 的影響力，而非單純用多少人看過的點擊率來排行。

from Sidekick

Technorati，是一個統計網站（包括blog）連結的服務。（詳見他們的about us。）

兩年多前已寫過一篇“我Link過你!!”，介紹了一些輔助工具，其中亦包括了Technorati。

除此以外，Technorati 還有甚麼功能及小玩意呢？現在介紹其中幾個。

1/ Technorati Browser Buttons：隨時八卦用。看自己，也看他人的。

2/ Technorati Link Count Widget：在sidebar上顯示有多少個blog “link過你”！

以下，是需要先成為technorati會員才可以用的功能。
3/ 用RSS 獲得最新消息

4/ Claim your blog

Technorati 還有很多功能，這裡只略舉一二（及三四），大家可到Technorati Tools 頁面參看其他功能及小工具。
