Amy Wohl on Getting Falsely Blacklisted

I understand people's concerns about spam. But paternalistic and irresponsible blacklisting of newsletters as spam is a serious problem, leading to many newsletter subscribers not getting the email they themselves opted into receiving. Amy Wohl complains about what is happening to some of her subscribers. I'm pretty sure that it is already happening to hundreds of Nonprofit Online News (would be) readers.

Open Knowledge Network

The Open Knowledge Network is a knowledge sharing initiative for developing nations. It's principles include: standards for tagging information using XML (very encouraging); working offline for free, but synchronizing with the Net; peer-to-peer networking of existing knowledge workers (something we experimented with a couple of years ago); agreed public domain and open content copyright licenses; and sustainable business models adapted to different contexts (probably the most interesting part). I look forward to following this project. Posted: 11/1/02; 10:14:56 AM #
