Today seems to be ‘rights for all!’ day, or something. It’s quite easy to get rights and privileges mixed up, which is the only explanation for the results of the BBC World Service survey: four in five people believe that Internet access is a fundamental right. Like the right to marry, or freedom [...]

PubSubHubbub, the quickly-growing service that pushes out real-time updates to RSS feeds, continued its march toward ubiquity this week when uber-popular blogging platform WordPress started offering PubSub support.

[Update: Google has now released a statement that they will not be removing Buzz from Gmail, but rather are considering building a standalone version of Buzz that doesn't require Gmail.]

Two days later, the negative press for Buzz has not let up. Users are unhappy about how tightly the social networking [...]

‘Hey look! We’ve got billions of users in just two days!’

That’s a bit like President Obama strolling back to the Oval Office after the presidential inauguration and bragging about the number of people he has sovereignty over. Google launched a new, free service and automagically activated it for every Gmail user — is it any [...]

Real Networks are setting free (or letting go of? Depends how you look at it, I guess) their on-demand music streaming service, Rhapsody. They are not leaving it completely — they’re spinning it off, but will still remain on its board and put $18 million into the service. This is in addition [...]
