Baby's First Internet
<a href="http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/galleries/babys_first_internet/">Baby's first internet</a> comes amidst other, less illustrated, <a href="http://www.bigcontrarian.com/2008/07/21/tacky/">concerns</a> about the all-consuming 'blogosphere' and increasingly online life. The problems, it seems, are somewhat <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/20/magazine/20wwln-medium-t.html?_r=3&oref=slogin&ref=magazine&pagewanted=all">novel</a> and (one assumes) <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/">almost endless</a>.

Lost Souls
According to a new report, children in Sweden are becoming increasingly concerned by their parents' internet habits. <em><a href="http://www.thelocal.se/12640.html">"This summer she has been sitting up all day and all night and she forgets what's important to me. And when she's not at the computer she's like a lost soul. She just looks straight ahead and says nothing. I'm not doing so well."</a> </em>Dr Jerald Block from Oregon Health and Science University in Portland is pushing for <a href="http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/112374.php">internet addiction</a> (and its three subtypes: excessive gaming, sexual preoccupations and e-mail/text messaging) to be included as a common disorder in the next update of the DSM (<a href="http://www.psych.org/dsmv.asp">DSM-V</a>). <em><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2152972/Internet-addiction-is-a-'clinical-disorder'.html">"The relationship is with the computer.

Suspension de labonnement internet
<a href="http://www.france24.com/en/20080618-france-try-web-subscription-suspension-against-piracy-internet">"There is no reason that the Internet should be lawless,"</a> President Nicolas Sarkozy told his cabinet, as <a href="http://www.premier-ministre.gouv.fr/acteurs/biographie_5/christine_albanel_ministre_culture_56390.html">Culture Minister Christine Albanel </a>presented <a href="http://www.premier-ministre.gouv.fr/chantiers/culture_851/lutter_telechargement_illegal_oeuvres_1072/christine_albanel_presente_projet_60336.html">a new bill </a>designed to encourage responsible use of the Internet. The legislation would set up a new administrative body that would receive complaints from the music and film industry and track down offenders through Internet service providers. An e-mail warning would be sent to suspected downloaders followed by a registered letter. After two strikes, offenders would risk losing their Internet subscription for up to a year. "We know that we are not going to eradicate piracy 100 percent, but we think that we can reduce it significantly," Albanel told a news conference. Minister of Culture and Communication, Christine Albanel, has made <a href="http://www.ifacca.org/national_agency_news/2008/05/26/albanel-celebrates-french-spirit-responsibility/">the French spirit of responsibility</a> a cornerstone of her portfolio. The new bill follows agreements signed on the 23 November 2007 at the Elysée Palace, in the presence of the President of the Republic,<a href="http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/actualites/index-olivennes231107.htm"> by 47 businesses and organisations representing cinema, music and television, and also by all the Internet service providers, </a>who the Minister has compelled to fulfil the agreement.
Firstly, the Minister<a href="http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/actualites/index-olivennes231107.htm"> revealed </a>that 74% of French people are in favour of the mechanism of the bill, which would, in the first instance, consist of sending numerous educational advertisement messages to Internet users who use their Internet connection to pirate works. Then, in the case of this behaviour being repeated, the temporary suspension of Internet access.
The Minister also revealed that the projected mechanism will be useful from the preventative phase, since 90% of French people would stop downloading after two advertisements. This study also shows the adherence of the majority of French people to the defence of the right of the author, without which ‘creation’ would have its existence threatened, against those who support openly the law of the jungle and permissiveness on the Internet.

Mapping Iran's Online Public: Politics and Culture in the Persian Blogosphere.
<a href="http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/publications/2008/Mapping_Irans_Online_Public">Mapping Iran's Online Public: Politics and Culture in the Persian Blogosphere.</a> From the abstract: <blockquote>We used computational social network mapping in combination with human and automated content analysis to analyze the Iranian blogosphere. In contrast to the conventional wisdom that Iranian bloggers are mainly young democrats critical of the regime, we found a wide range of opinions representing religious conservative points of view as well as secular and reform-minded ones, and topics ranging from politics and human rights to poetry, religion, and pop culture. Our research indicates that the Persian blogosphere is indeed a large discussion space of approximately 60,000 routinely updated blogs featuring a rich and varied mix of bloggers. Social network analysis reveals the Iranian blogosphere to be dominated by four major network formations, or poles, with identifiable sub-clusters of bloggers within those poles. We label the poles as 1) Secular/Reformist, 2) Conservative/Religious, 3) Persian Poetry and Literature, and 4) Mixed Networks.</blockquote>

Is Your Fear Hindering Your Networking Success?
By Daegan
| If anything in business history is consistent, it is this one fact: those who risk big, win big. Think Bill Gates and how at 19-years old (and dropping from Harvard), he transformed his little garage project into what we have come to know as the biggest and arguably most influential software company in the world. If anything in business history is consistent, it is this one fact: those who risk big, win big. Think Bill Gates and how at 19-years old (and dropping from Harvard), he transformed his little garage project into what we have come to know as the biggest and arguably most influential software company in the world. All over the world people may differ in their like or dislike of this big risk-taker, but one thing is certain-he took his risks and it paid off. He became, and up until now, successful. Risks in fact come in all shapes and sizes, most especially in a networking business. Networking, defined, is interacting and exchanging information with the intent of creating mutual benefits and support. More than anything, therefore, networking is about creating relationships with people you interact with everyday. This means that what you do, essentially, is creating meaningful relationships in order to achieve a degree of gain for yourself and your company. As such, a networking business shares many characteristics with life in general and how you deal with the fears that come with it. Have you considered the fact that your fears-of interactions, of risks, of connecting with others-killing your networking business? The first step in a networking business is going to networking seminars. The fear of getting involved with a larger group of people in this aspect is a clear burden to your business. Why so? These open avenues to meet professionals and individuals from your same business clique is something that will allow you to optimize strategies for survival. Not only do you lose the possibility of creating valuable linkages with other companies by not going to these functions, you may even risk the loss of business 'friends' who may help you or give advice to you when the going gets tough. Personal decisions surrounding these networking seminars may also be creating a hindrance to you. What do you wear? What impression do you want to make? How are you to act around other people? While these are indeed important questions to ask yourself at any rate, never forget the
fact that the primary purpose of attending these seminars is creating the necessary linkages that are the lifeline of your business. Your fear that roots from the previously mentioned questions may easily be remedied by always trying to appropriately dress and act for the occasion. Events provide dressing guidelines. Moreover, trying to concentrate on what you want to achieve will likely help you focus better on the core of your business while you interact with other people. This sort of focus will in effect remove your inhibitions and worries, thus allowing you to be at your performance peak at all times.
Because networking is about getting to know people and knowing of their interests, the best attitude you can bring to your business is that willingness to listen to other people, and the interest in other people. By becoming interested and showing interest in what other people do, you create a genuine connection with other people, especially because they know you are listening. Moreover, it will shift your attention from your personal fears and worries, and will instead divert it to engaging whoever you are conversing with.
Putting an end to worry and fear will not only give you a fun time while you run your marketing business, but it will also allow your business to be rewarding for you in more ways than one. Showing interest in other people eventually gives you a chance to enjoy pleasant company, work on your networking business, and moreover, may be carried over to a continued relationship beyond the precedent meeting. After all, showing genuine interest in other people precludes following up in the business relationship you have created. Should you have let your fears get the best of you, you not only lose on a potentially rich market, but also the opportunity to create lasting linkages for your business.
What's the greater loss when fear actually gets the best of you, and you're in a networking business? Consider the basic idea of networking-one person knows 100 people, and these 100 people know 100 more each. Overall, the fear that will stop you from interacting from one person will in effect effectively cut you off a huge network of other people whom you need to make your business succeed.
In networking, the number of opportunities exist at an exponential scatter, and without fear in creating one single business relationship, you already open doors to a universe of potential profit. Without fear, you can fully capitalize on the very foundations of networking-that of an exponential market increase at every step. Make that important link today-and don't let that fear stop you!
