Google resists while Yahoo and MSN comply with federal subpeonas demanding millions of search reports the San Francisco Chronicle. The records were apparently sought last year as part of a Bush administration effort to “resuscitate laws protecting children from Internet pornography, blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court two years ago,” according to the story [...]
I resume daily scan of the media space after three entries in which I made the case for an association of mini media producers. What caught my eye today was a report suggesting that business-to-business online sites were just barely emerging from a long funk.
