Top stories of Sep 22nd 2007:
There are caves on the Mars (see Slashdot) and Robert Scoble says that Dave Winer said, that anyone who uses the term "social graph" (instead of "social network") was a monkey.

Nicholas Carr applauds Dave Winer.

Don't get too buzzy (see Michael Krigsman)!

(Btw.: Part 1 is here)

A survey says we blogger and onliners are a little bit strange regarding real social contacts (see Techmeme, Slashdot or Techdirt). That's ridiculous.

The German Secretary of the Interior still tries to haunt the terrorists with home grown spyware that scrutinizes the machines of the suspects. Good luck.

(See a the German milans blog about this)

(See also Google Blogoscoped from last week with another story about him)

What's AJAX? Innovation, technology or just a bunch of hacks. See Ryan Stewart.

Dana Blankenhoren asks: "Is Linux still too geeky?"

The Creationists have discovered the DMCA (see Slashdot and Wired).

California has banned mandated RFID implants (see George Ou).

Mr. Stallman makes no concessions in his attitude towards free software (not open source!!!, see John Carroll).

Nicholas Carr writes about the crowd selecting dumber news in Digg et al than the smart editors  in mainstream media.

Nicholas, you don't have to read Diggs home page!
There is more in citizen journalism than the top diggs, reddits etc. You also can read something no one has suggested. You can read things almost no one knows of. That's the big difference to mainstream media.

Of course, 2.0 has not made us smarter. It just has given us more choice.

Update: TechCrunch also posts about the survey Nicholas Carr's post is based on.

Whether or not Apple is cheating you with the new iPhone ringtones (see David Berlind). You need them.
