SOPA

Good On You

Good On You

By Denis Pombriant on January 26, 2012

My Aussie friends have an interesting saying that seems part complement and part benediction.  Good on you.  They pronounce it with an accent on the second word so that the phrase becomes a single word in the mouth, more like goo-don you.  At any rate, good on you.

Life post-SOPA?

By Vinnie Mirchandani on January 16, 2012

Protect the Internet Bill

Protect the Internet Bill

By Ross Mayfield on December 19, 2011

Instead of constantly playing defense against congress, we should pass a Protect the Internet Bill. SOPA and PIPA are very dangerous symptoms of an underlying problem. Powerful embedded interests from the entertainment to the telecom lobby will continue to introduce legislation that threatens the net. Congress will continue to be driven by these interests and […]
