Abstract

Based on unprecedented access he received to the highly secretive "Googleplex," acclaimed 'New York Times' columnist Randall Stross takes readers deep inside Google, the most important, most innovative, and most ambitious company of the Internet Age. His revelations demystify the strategy behind the company's recent flurry of bold moves, all driven by the pursuit of a business plan unlike any other: to become the indispensable gatekeeper of all the world's information, the one-stop destination for all our information needs. Will Google succeed? And what are the implications of a single company commanding so much information and knowing so much about us?As ambitious as Google's goal is, with 68 percent of all Web searches (and growing), profits that are the envy of the business world, and a surplus of talent, the company is, Stross shows, well along the way to fulfilling its ambition, becoming as dominant a force on the Web as Microsoft became on the PC. Google isn't just a superior search service anymore. In recent years it has launched a dizzying array of new services and advanced into whole new businesses, from the introductions of its controversial Book Search and the irresistible Google Earth, to bidding for a slice of the wireless-phone spectrum and nonchalantly purchasing YouTube for $1.65 billion.Google has also taken direct aim at Microsoft's core business, offering free e-mail and software from word processing to spreadsheets and calendars, pushing a transformative -- and highly disruptive -- concept known as "cloud computing." According to this plan, users will increasingly store all of their data on Google's massive servers -- a network of a million computers that amounts to the world's largest supercomputer, with unlimited capacity to house all the information Google seeks.The more offerings Google adds, and the more ubiquitous a presence it becomes, the more dependent its users become on its services and the more information they contribute to its un

Abstract

Niet alle mores gaan naar de stortplaats van de geschiedenis. Journalisten moeten zich vasthouden aan de wetenschap dat de waarheid er nog steeds toe doet - al wordt die misschien anders gedefinieerd. Ook al is het businessmodel van hun uitgevers defect, en kunnen ze steeds minder vertrouwen op een loyaal publiek, naar de kern van wat ze doen zal vraag blijven bestaan. Die kern bestaat niet langer uit het overal zichtbare nieuws van gisteren. Maar aan journalisten die kunnen vertellen, die de verhalen kunnen doorgeven over de meest recente geschiedenis, die dat betrouwbaar en boeiend kunnen doen, zal ook in een digitale cultuur van bloggende burgers behoefte blijven bestaan. In de eenentwintigste eeuw is er weinig zo sterk veranderd als de media. Alle vertrouwde journalistieke wetten lijken overboord te zijn gegooid door de opkomst van internet en commerciële zenders. Henk Blanken maakt in Mediamores de stand van zaken op. Hij stelt prikkelende vragen en geeft tegendraadse en verrassende meningen, over onder andere de kwestie Joran van der Sloot, Wikipedia, weblogs, YouTube en uiteraard de populaire website GeenStijl.

Abstract

In the beginning, the World Wide Web was exciting and open to the point of anarchy, a vast and intimidating repository of unindexed confusion. Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission-"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible"-and its much-"ed motto, "Don't be evil." In this provocative book, Siva Vaidhyanathan examines the ways we have used and embraced Google-and the growing resistance to its expansion across the globe. He exposes the dark side of our Google fantasies, raising red flags about issues of intellectual property and the much-touted Google Book Search. He assesses Google's global impact, particularly in China, and explains the insidious effect of Googlization on the way we think. Finally, Vaidhyanathan proposes the construction of an Internet ecosystem designed to benefit the whole world and keep one brilliant and powerful company from falling into the "evil" it pledged to avoid.

Abstract

Some have viewed the ascendance of the digital library as some kind of existential apocalypse, nothing less than the beginning of the end for the traditional library. But Weiss, recognizing the concept of the library as a ""big idea"" that has been implemented in many ways over thousands of years, is not so gloomy. In this thought-provoking and unabashedly optimistic book, he explores how massive digital libraries are already adapting to society's needs, and looks ahead to the massive digital libraries of tomorrow, coveringThe author's criteria for defining massive digital librariesA history o
