AccessMyLibrary, Squidoo, Know It Now, and Wikipedia: The Four Best Free Resources on the Web
The other day a friend of mine was talking about Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org). He had just looked up something on the site and commented, "Why is this site so awesome? I mean, seriously, have you noticed that it is really the best way to find what you're looking for?"
At first, I wasn't so sure.
I have been, admittedly, a little hesitant to jump on the Wiki-wagon. After all, what is wrong with referencing your standard, tried and trusted, online encyclopedia? For years I had sought my information from the American Heritage free online dictionary, encyclopedia, and thesaurus with abandon. What could a user-influenced site like Wikipedia possibly offer me besides error-ridden, irrelevant data?
Comments like my friend's, however, made me wonder if I was missing out on something useful. All around me, people were talking about Wiki-this and Wiki-that; could there be benefit in searching amidst editable content?
The more I got to thinking about it, the more I realized that your typical run-of-the-mill encyclopedia descriptions are maybe a little too cliche' and outdated. What users are really looking for these days isn't so much a down to the letter exhaustive write-up on the platypus, but rather an interactive approach to supplying and receiving information. Users are drawn to Wikipedia because it allows users to showcase their individual expertise and inform the general public of their vast knowledge of what-have-you.
Squidoo (http://www.squidoo.com) is another site where users are responsible for the content therein. Built on the premise that "there ought to be a way for us all to benefit from what everyone else knows," Squidoo offers users a unique way of gaining and posting information. The same appeal that applies to Wikipedia, also applies to Squidoo. Essentially, what it seems to boil down to is this: users have something to say and site-permitting, they'll say it. Allowing John Doe to give his two cents about the Ohio State Buckeyes for all to see gives others a chance to see a "real" person's viewpoint, while giving Mr. Doe a boost to the ego. Better yet, let him tag other pages or "lenses" to his heart's delight and you've got a site indexed (quite accurately) by its users and a community built on technology and common interests.
Also of note is http://www.KnowItNow.org. According to the website,
"KnowItKnow is a live online information service provided free of charge for the citizens of Ohio by the State Library of Ohio and your local public library. Professional librarians are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to answer your reference questions and assist you in finding information. Once logged on with your Ohio zip code, you and a librarian engage in a "chat" session. The librarian "pushes" high quality, authoritative online resources to your screen. You can watch and participate as librarians skillfully navigate the Internet to find precise answers to your questions. At the conclusion of each KnowItNow session, you will receive a complete transcript of your session via email including links to all the online resources shared during that session."
Although KnowItNow is only available in Ohio, several other sites of the same ilk are popping up in quite a few states. Though it is under-utilized, KnowItNow is an important resource for several reasons. For example, it lets home-bound users benefit from library services and promotes internet awareness and education for the less than tech-savvy crowd. It also serves as an indication that libraries are staying on top of evolving technology and making efforts to integrate it into the services that they offer.
Another online site that is gaining momentum is AccessMyLibrary (http://www.AccessMyLibrary.com). This site functions as an online magazine/journal library and like Squidoo and Wikipedia, AccessMyLibrary provides valuable information through the medium of the internet. With over 16 million articles (and growing), there is literally something for everyone on this site. The content ranges from the obscure (Adhesive Technology) to the vastly popular (O, the Oprah Magazine) and is, of course, free.
While its number of articles is certainly impressive, it's actually the quality of the content that is the real show-stopper for many users (i.e. Macworld, The New Yorker, Allure, Booklist, and the list goes on from there).
AccessMyLibrary has proven to be a goldmine of sought-after content. With relevant articles on worthwhile topics for all interests, its appeal is widespread.
And all the while, web users are loving it. Free content – free access – freedom of (online) speech. Fundamentally, the internet is changing for the better.

How shocking would it be if pasties became the next popular fashion trend for women?
Seeing as how clothing like thongs and tube tops which were once considered racy are now more or less viewed as "ordinary" nowadays...how would you feel if pasties became the next fashion trend?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Voy_1142697656.jpg
"Pasties" are adhesives applied to cover a person's nipples for the purpose of revealing as much of one's breasts as possible without being entirely topless. They were originated by exotic dancers in strip clubs.
Given that society has become more open about sex and sexuality in general, would you be surprised if pasties became popular?
Could you imagine if a company was brazen enough to try to promote this type of attire for teenage girls?
Or do you think pasties are just far too racy and sleazy to ever achieve mainstream appeal/acceptance?
I think they're too sleezy and racy and tasteless.
maybe on the underground scene, but things have tamed down a little in "mainstream" media, so I think that's a very very long longshot.

Wiki Markup $86.03 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Wikitext language or wiki markup is a lightweight markup language used to write pages in wiki websites, such as Wikipedia, and is a simplified alternative/intermediate to HTML. Its ultimate purpose is to be converted by wiki software into HTML, which in turn is served to web browsers. There is no commonly accepted standard wikitext language. The grammar, structure, justification, keywords and so on depend on the particular wiki software used on the particular website. For example, all wikitext markup languages have a simple way of hyperlinking to other pages within the site, but there are several different syntax conventions for these links. Many wikis, especially the earlier ones, used CamelCase to mark words that should be automatically linked. In MediaWiki, this convention was replaced with the ...]] notation, which Wikipedia calls free links. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Wiki Government $19.95 Wiki Government shows how to bring innovation to government. In explaining how toenhance political institutions with the power of networks, it offers a fundamentalrethinking of democracy in the digital age. Collaborative democracy—government of the people, by the people, for the people—is an old dream. Today, Wiki Government shows how technology can make that dream a reality.In this thought-provoking book, Beth Simone Noveck illustrates how collaborativedemocracy strengthens public decisionmaking by connecting the power of the many to the work of the few. Equally important, she provides a step-by-step demonstration of how collaborative democracy can be designed, opening policymaking to greater participation.Wiki Government tells the story behind one of the most dramatic public sector innovations in recent years—inviting the public to participate in the patent examination process. Patent examiners usually work in secret, cut off from essential information and racing against the clock to master arcane technical claims. The Peer-to-Patent project radically transformed this process by allowing anyone with Internet access to collaboratewith the agency in reviewing patent applications.Wiki Government describes how a far-flung team of technologists, lawyers, and policymakers pried open a tradition-bound agency’s doors. Noveck explains how she brought both fiercely competitive companies and risk-averse bureaucrats on board. She discusses the design challenges the team faced in creating software to distill online collaboration into useful expertise, not just rants or raves. And she explains how law, policy, and technology can be revamped to help government work in more open and participatory ways in a wide range of policy arenas, including education and the environment.“Everyone seems to be talking about collective intelligence, but no one has developed that idea in the context of democracy and self-governance. No one, that is, until Beth Noveck. At once visionary and pragmatic, Wiki Government offers the first glimpse of how public officials might enlist the wisdom of crowds in order in order to improve government’s decisions—while promoting participation at the same time. A brilliant book and a truly extraordinary achievement.”—Cass R. Sunstein, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Harvard Law School“A sweeping visionary yet highly pragmatic book! Beth Noveck concretely shows how to leverage the participatory nature of web 2.0 technologies to build a new kind of participatory democracy and a smart, lean government. She speaks from experience. A must read not just for policy folks and the digerati but for any of us wanting to understand how to tap the collective and diverse wisdom of America to create a better, more connected style of democracy.”—John Seely Brown, former chief scientist, Xerox, and director of its Palo Alto Research Center |

But then the brig Swallow reaches the coast of Patagonia, an area infamous for its rough gauchos and revolutionary spirit, and he must take on his other role, that of agent of U.S. law and order. A New England whaler shows up, desperate to find the devious trader who has cheated him of a thousand dollars and a schooner. Wiki is assigned to find the missing ship, only to follow a trail of clues to a dead body, half-buried in a hill of salt, its skull picked clean by vultures. The adventure unravels in the impoverished village of El Carmen de Patagones, where the threat of French invasion is imminent, and business is at a standstill under the orders of General de Rosas, the tyrant of Buenos Aires. Wiki must risk both life and reputation in pursuit of a vicious and determined killer who has set his sights on another target: the U.S. Exploring Expedition itself. |

Wiki at War: Conflict in a Socially Networked World $48.3 In 2011, amid the popular uprising against Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, the government sought in vain to shut down the Internet-based social networks of its people. WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange has been branded "public enemy number one" by some in the United States for posting material on the World Wide Web that concerns airstrikes in Iraq, US diplomatic communications, and other sensitive matters. In "Wiki at War," James Jay Carafano explains why these and other Internet-born initiatives matter and how they are likely to affect the future face of war, diplomacy, and domestic politics. "The war for winning dominance over social networks and using that dominance to advantage is already underway," Carafano writes in this extremely timely analysis of the techno-future of information and the impact of social networking via the Internet. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of history and defense strategy, Carafano creates a cogent analysis of what is truly new about the "new media," and what is simply a recasting of human warfare in contemporary forms. "Wiki at War" is written in a lively, accessible style that will make this technological development comprehensible and engaging for general readers without sacrificing the book's usefulness to specialists. Outlining the conditions under which a difference in degree becomes a difference in kind, detailing how ancient wisdom can still apply to national security decisions, and examining the conditions under which new expertise is required to wage effective diplomacy or successful military strategy, Carafano casts in stark relief the issues that face political, military, and social leaders in trying to manage and control information, in both the international and domestic arenas. "Wiki at War" affords stimulating thought about and definitive discussion of this vital emerging topic. |

The 2009-2014 World Outlook for Corporate Wiki Applications $795 THE METHODOLOGY. In order to estimate the latent demand for aesthetic equipment on a worldwide basis, I used a multi-stage approach. Before applying the approach, one needs a basic theory from which such estimates are created. In this case, I heavily rely on the use of certain basic economic assumptions. In particular, there is an assumption governing the shape and type of aggregate latent demand functions. Latent demand functions relate the income of a country, city, state, household, or individual to realized consumption. Latent demand (often realized as consumption when an industry is efficient), at any level of the value chain, takes place if an equilibrium is realized. For firms to serve a market, they must perceive a latent demand and be able to serve that demand at a minimal return. The single most important variable determining consumption, assuming latent demand exists, is income (or other financial resources at higher levels of the value chain). Other factors that can pivot or shape demand curves include external or exogenous shocks (i.e. business cycles), and or changes in utility for the product in question. |
