  So I’m at this place I usually find myself of what source to get a decent and concise form of information. In this screen cap I’m attempting to look up Rodney Alcala’s crime as well as his background (come on, who doesn’t share the fascination of serial killers?). Wikipedia is a favorite because of the organized sections that make skimming easy. However, Wikipedia’s editing processes still gives it an unauthorized reputation and therefore isn’t the foremost authority on anything (well, except for locked articles regularly altered by vandals).

  What can the future hold when 12 years ago people were without single source that would proved ranked results? Are we any richer now having Google or other search devices? Undoubtedly, the commercial push of the last few years has been to draw more people to individual sites, single-source gate keepers. Facebook connect seems to be the only service that is succeeding so far but other can’t be far behind. But what is the advantage of that? Do companies really want to advertise to consumers even when their not on the companies site? How is that not greedy? How can commerce prosper when you need to view it through multiple channels? Doesn’t that already naturally happen before commercial aggregators put in their product?

  I suppose these questions have been the same since before the internet existed. We’re presented with a desire for single source information and commercial suppliers want to be that single source. And yet by being given what we want we’re repulsed by the efforts of those trying to make a financial profit. But who’s really disgusted? Who’s really disgusting?

  Have you seen Spiers do her Christopher Walken impression? It’s dead on.

  It took everything I had not to hashtag a quote from the speech about the watch in Pulp Fiction.

  Christoph Niemann has another great set of images up on the NYT’s Abstract City blog: his own interpretations of Google Maps. Love.

  I woke up early but it seems the internet was up all night.
