POPSHouse GOP Brings Transparency To HealthCare Bill Online The GOP will continue its online push against the bill on Thursday, when Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) will lead a 12-hour online town hall to discuss health care. VIA Representative Bob Latta (Oh.-R) http://latta.amplify.com/ Meanwhile, the Republican caucus is using the social networking site Amplify to highlight portions of the bill with which they take issue. On their page healthcaretruth.amplify.com, Republican users share the actual text of the bill up for discussion and leave a comment. Other users can leave their own comments or share the content using Twitter, Facebook, Digg and other social networking tools. Reps. Boehner, Bob Latta (R-Ohio) and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) spearheaded the project, and Boehner introduced it to other House Republicans this morning at their weekly members-only meeting. http://rnmc.amplify.com/2009/11/03/house-gop-brings-transparency-to-health-care-reform/

POPSPhilosophy delivered via Twitter? Well, no. The philosopher interviewed in this article uses twitter to generate ideas and work around writer's block. She is interested in the question of whether or not philosophy could be done on twitter, but thinks probably not.

POPSCrazy Conspiracy Theories ... or Are They? Some of these theories are bizarre, some - hold water. Mix false and true for their own advantage is usual method of con artists from behind the scene. Another method is distracting public attention from real leads by BS. But nothing can be hidden forever and in some point, sometimes so unpredictable, the true show its face. Good when we have a chance to catch glimpse of it and show it to the world, now in our new media environment - virtual space of thought - it's become easy and handy.

POPS"Democrat-Media Complex" “The unorthodox roll-out was orchestrated to protect James and Hannah,” said Breitbart. “The moment that their peril ended, was when Jon Stewart reported on this, making fun of the media for missing the story. At that moment I called James and Hannah and said, “You’re mostly in the clear, and the only people left who’ll attack you will be some liberal bloggers.’” Breitbart knows something about liberal bloggers. His pre-BigGovernment career included many months working to launch The Huffington Post. (He had been a researcher for Arianna Huffington in the early 1990s, before he joined Drudge, when both of them were still conservatives.) “I wanted the world to see what the Left and the Los Angeles/Manhattan salons had to think about national politics,” Breitbart told TWI. “Sunlight is the best disinfectant. I thought it would be great for Arianna and I thought it would be great for the right, because it gave them source material.”

POPSHow Chuck Darwin made it from reception to the corner office Thought this was a very colorful piece and worth the quick read at the source. It was written by a long time publishing exec who provides a personal view into the evolution of an industry caught smack in the middle of a technology and media revolution. Having read a number of insightful posts recently (here on Amplify) regarding magazine industry's struggle to bridge traditional and new media, this particular story resonated with me. I wonder if any old school mag publishing execs are still the decision makers. If so, do they realize Mr. Darwin is still sitting in their corner office...

POPSOn Facebook, MySpace? Obama's got your e-mail
In fact, according to the Electronic Privacy and Information Center, federal agencies have negotiated agreements and contracts with social networking sites like Google, YouTube, SlideShare, Facebook, AddThis, Blist, Flickr and VIMEO to collect information on visitors for federal websites. All of these private companies are known to have agreements with federal agencies, but the public has never seen them. In public comments submitted to the Office of Management and Budget, EPIC notes it has obtained documents that show federal agencies have negotiated these contracts with the private sector in violation of "existing statutory privacy rights." Those agencies include: Department of Defense, Department of the Treasury, and the National Security Agency. There are suspicions the White House is already involved. According to Obama "technology czar" Vivek Kundra, the "compelling need" driving this major policy reversal is the administration's desire to create "more open" government

POPSObama White House Has Secret Plan To Harvest Personal Data From Social Networking Websites 
Other troubling issues include: extremely broad secrecy terms preventing the vendor from disclosing to the public or the media what information is being captured and archived (page 7, “Restriction Against Disclosure”) wholesale capturing of comments by non-White House staff on publicly accessible sites capturing of content of any type (text, graphics, audio, or video) capturing of comments by both Obama critics and supporters, with no restriction as to how the White House would use the information. ] This is the third controversy involving the White House internet operations in less than a month. First, Obama’s New Media operation asked supporters to send information about critics of the White House health care effort to a White House email. This provoked a storm of criticism and the White House retreated. Then large number of people complained of getting email spam from the White House supporting the President’s health care position.

POPSAttorney: FBI trained NJ blogger to incite others So if this turns out to be true, then there are 2 crazy things happening with the FBI actually spying on US people (right wingers) and also using the blogsphere via a hired gun, to incite riots, responsive postings, etc. IF it is true and FBI is doing that, you have to woder what other 3 letter agencies are doing to shape people's opinions via New Media and psychological mechanisms. Hmmm... of course sales and marketing does that all the time in the real world, right ;-)

POPSGOP Senator: White House Encroaching on First Amendment I suspect that you would have been leading the charge in condemning such a program -- and I would have been at your side denouncing such heavy-handed government action.” Yesterday, White House director of new media Macon Phillips wrote a blog posting urging readers to flag questionable claims about health care proposals. “There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.” Cornyn specifically asks whether those who quote the president’s past statements -- such as his 2003 statement that he was a “proponent” of single-payer care -- qualifies as . . .
