| [Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> Usenet archives sold |
this could be old news by the time you see it, but, wired news article on the deja/google controversy at: http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,41926,00.html which discusses initiative to get google to open source usenet - as well as the old deja indexing code.... discussions of the distributed nature of usenet, and its appropriateness to open source... it's interesting to think how in some ways usenet was the original gnutella, or would that be napster... well, not really either, but... this seems to be a lot of the issue - something that started out as being distributed and mirrored on servers throughout the world gets archived at what could be considered a single point of failure, and the fun begins. sorry if some of this turns out to be redundant; i have been following this thread more or less but haven't had a chance to keep up with it all. -@ _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list [email protected] http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
