« World Bank President blog corrals Wolfowitz chatter | Main | GOP candidates debate tonight at 8 on MSNBC » May 2, 2007Alt-headline news: Hippies, Web 2.0 map, Army bloggers, Digg, Imus, data miningThe Hippies Were Right! Brilliant and slightly mad Mark Morford at SF Chron, the land of the love child: All this hot enthusiasm for healing the planet and eating whole foods and avoiding chemicals and working with nature and developing the self? Came from the hippies. Alternative health? Hippies. Green cotton? Hippies. Reclaimed wood? Recycling? Humane treatment of animals? Medical pot? Alternative energy? Natural childbirth? Non-GMA seeds? It came from the granola types (who, of course, absorbed much of it from ancient cultures), from the alternative worldviews, from the underground and the sidelines and from far off the goddamn grid and it's about time the media, the politicians, the culture as a whole sent out a big, wet, hemp-covered apology.
Just wonderful. The Washington Post, E-Harmony and Soviet Russia are all there, and there's even a Sea of Memes in this sea of memes. To wit: The Day Digg Users Revolted. Army Squeezes Soldier Blogs, Maybe to Death. Wired: The U.S. Army has ordered soldiers to stop posting to blogs or sending personal e-mail messages, without first clearing the content with a superior officer, Wired News has learned. The directive, issued April 19, is the sharpest restriction on troops' online activities since the start of the Iraq war. And it could mean the end of military blogs, observers say.... Imus won't go quietly. Fortune: ...For Imus, who made a career out of operating in the murky space between sophomoric humor and high-brow political talk, there is the little matter of about $40 million left on his contract with CBS Radio - whose boss Les Moonves fired the shock jock on April 12. CBS' lawyers contend Imus was fired for cause and not owed the rest of the money. Having Won a Pulitzer for Exposing Data Mining, Times Now Eager to do its Own Data Mining. Village Voice reports from the N.Y. Times stockholders meeting.
