<title>Clay Shirky on &quot;Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable&quot;</title>
<link>http://www.shirky.com/weblog/2009/03/newspapers-and-thinking-the-unthinkable/</link>
<description><![CDATA[“When someone demands to know how we are going to replace newspapers, they are really demanding to be told that we are not living through a revolution. They are demanding to be told that old systems won’t break before new systems are in place. They are demanding to be told that ancient social bargains aren’t in peril, that core institutions will be spared, that new methods of spreading information will improve previous practice rather than upending it. They are demanding to be lied to.<br /><br />

“There are fewer and fewer people who can convincingly tell such a lie.”]]></description>

<description>“Of course, the biggest disappointment was Gore&apos;s failure to handle Hurricane Katrina properly. Not only did the massive evacuation of New Orleans prove a costly and time-consuming overreaction, since the levees - fortified in 2003 - held up fine. The emergency management agency also took over 24 hours to set up trailers for evacuees along the Gulf Coast, leaving them without government housing assistance for a full day. And Gore&apos;s decision to single-handedly venture into a flattened house in Mississippi and free a trapped two-year-old showed him to be an irresponsible showboat. Sure, President Gore knows CPR, hears like a German shepherd, and has the strength of 10 men - but we didn&apos;t need to see it.”</description>

<title>What Carriers aren&apos;t eager to tell you about texting</title>
<link>http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/28/business/28digi.html?partner=rss&amp;emc=rss&amp;pagewanted=all</link>
<description>Professor Keshav said that once a carrier invests in the centralized storage equipment — storing a terabyte now costs only $100 and is dropping — and the staff to maintain it, its costs are basically covered. “Operating costs are relatively insensitive to volume,” he said. “It doesn’t cost the carrier much more to transmit a hundred million messages than a million.”</description>
