It was very moving, and describing a situation of chaos, strong commitment, and braveness. It told the story of people fighting with non violence, and shouting that they want change.

And I am afraid all this is useless. I feel once again what I felt looking at [...] Related posts:

I would go farther by adding wikipedia (and blogs?), and suggest that the 4 services really represent the digestive process of our information society. From the first Churning to the Backbone

Although I wanted to do this from a long time, only now did I found the time and the technical knowledge to do it: I divided the blog. I divided all the Italian posts from the English ones. I created a new blog at http://it.pietrosperoni.it, and my italian posts will, [...] Related posts:

But I won’t. Tha facts: the web site delicious have been sold to Yahoo!.

I personally don’t dislike Yahoo. I positively hate them. For having eaten and raped startup websites, one after the other. For being totally obscure in terms of contact with [...] Related posts:

Wikka is a wiki software that I just installed on my web page. It is simple, yet full of plugins. Open source (or I would not consider it). It also permits to integrate freemind mind map inside it.

The post was an answer to a post from my father, and as such in Italian.

Phil uses the post as his launch pad for a very interesting one on how he sees the long tail having effect [...] Related posts:
