<description><![CDATA[I thought the whole &quot;Twitter for the enterprise&quot; concept died out after Yammer launched at the TechCrunch conference in 2008. It's an interesting tool, as is competitor SocialCast, but while products like these are achieving some early successes, the real-time, social-networking-at-work thing has not taken the business world by storm. Remember Google Wave It's likely because businesses that already get the concept are using Notes or Sharepoint, and those that don't need to be convinced by their employees--who are dealing with their own social-network overload thanks to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The new Convofy, which will launch on April 1 from the makers of Scrybe, is worth a look, though. It's like a Facebook wall for business, with a few cool work-focused features thrown in. It's easy enough to get started and to build up a work network on Convofy, but it also has enough command-and-control functionality to keep the corporate admins happy once they get wind of it. Convofy gives workgroups a Facebook wall-like discussion page.The core of Convofy, an Air client to a cloud-based service, is a conversation screen much like other social workflow apps. Users post ideas, links, and files, and their followers can comment on them. Updates appear on followers' screens in real time. There are mobile apps foriPhone, Android, and modern BlackBerry smartphones.  The fast, real-time app would make Convofy good for keeping teams up to speed on the issues of the moment. Here in our newsroom, I could see using it to share story ideas and coordinate the creation and editing of news packages. It's more dynamic than e-mail, more structured than instant messaging, and better than both for certain communications. Convofy has a strong focus on image and video annotation. It's easy to drag files to the app and then mark them up on the built-in viewer, with little arrows that point from your markups to text you add in a comment window. You can even mark up videos, and the annotations get attached to them at particular time markers. For teams needing to do quick reviews of documents or graphics files, this could be a very useful tool.Mobile users get an HTML5-based app.(Credit:Convofy)The version I tested was still in development, and it shows a bit. While the application is attractive and has a good selection of work-focused features (like a to-do list manager that allows delegation of tasks), it has some design issues. First, the conversation flow can appear overwhelming. Even in a two-party conversation on a demo account, I found it easy to get lost and feel flooded by comments. Second, there are two interfaces for communicating, which is one more than necessary: one is the Twitter-like text comment screen, the other is the document review page, where comments pop up like IM windows over the image or file being discussed.  Convofy's revenue model should work to get the app out there without killing potential profits. The app is free to everyone in a version without much in the way of administrative controls. But that's just what a rogue group of users in a company needs to get up to speed on the app. Once the admins want to lock down on Convofy, they can sign up for administrative and additional security controls, but then they'll have to pay up: $5 per user per month, still reasonable. Robert Scoble has a lengthy video interview with Scrybe CEO Faizan Buzdar. If you're interested in experimenting with social network concepts in your workgroup, I'd recommend trying Convofy with a close group of co-workers when it comes out on April 1. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The House Republicans' first major technology initiative is about to be unveiled: a push to force Internet companies to keep track of what their users are doing.A House panel chaired by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin is scheduled to hold a hearing tomorrow morning to discuss forcing Internet providers, and perhaps Web companies as well, to store records of their users' activities for later review by police.One focus will be on reviving a dormant proposal for data retention that would require companies to store Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for two years, CNET has learned.Tomorrow's data retention hearing is juxtaposed against the recent trend to protect Internet users' privacy by storing less data. Last month, the Federal Trade Commission called for &quot;limited retention&quot; of user data on privacy grounds, and in the last 24 hours, both Mozilla and Google have announced do-not-track technology.A Judiciary committee aide provided a statement this afternoon saying &quot;the purpose of this hearing is to examine the need for retention of certain data by Internet service providers to facilitate law enforcement investigations of Internet child pornography and other Internet crimes,&quot; but declined to elaborate.Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin is scheduled to hold a hearing tomorrow morning to discuss forcing ISPs to store records of their users&amp;39' activities for later review by police. (Credit:U.S. House of Representatives)Thanks to the GOP takeover of the House, the odds of such legislation advancing have markedly increased. The new chairman of the House Judiciary committee is Lamar Smith of Texas, who previously introduced a data retention bill. Sensenbrenner, the new head of the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, had similar plans but never introduced legislation. (It's not purely a partisan issue: Rep. Diana DeGette, a Colorado Democrat, was the first to announce such a proposal.)Police and prosecutors are the biggest backers of data retention. FBI director Robert Mueller has said that forcing companies to store those records about users would be &quot;tremendously helpful in giving us a historic basis to make a case&quot; in investigations, especially child porn cases. An FBI attorney said last year that Mueller supports storing Internet users' &quot;origin and destination information,&quot; meaning logs of which Web sites are visited.And the International Association of Chiefs of Police, which will be sending a representative to tomorrow's hearing, previously adopted a resolution (PDF) calling for a &quot;uniform data retention mandate&quot; for &quot;customer subscriber information and source and destination information.&quot; The group said today in an e-mail exchange that it still supports that resolution.Jim Harper, director of information policy studies at the free-market Cato Institute, says the push for legislation is an example of pro-regulatory Republicans. &quot;Republicans were put in power to limit the size and scope of the federal government,&quot; Harper said. &quot;And they're working to grow the federal government, increase its intrusiveness, and I fail to see where the Fourth Amendment permits the government to require dragnet surveillance of Internet users.&quot;Representing the Obama administration at tomorrow's hearing will be Jason Weinstein, deputy assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's criminal division, who has previously testified (PDF) on intellectual property infringement and was chief of the violent crime section of the U.S. Attorney's office in Baltimore. For now, the scope of any mandatory data retention law remains hazy. It could mean forcing companies to store data for two years about what Internet addresses are assigned to which customers (Comcast said in 2006 that it would be retaining those records for six months).Or it could be more intrusive, sweeping in online service providers, and involve keeping track of e-mail and instant-messaging correspondence and what Web pages users visit. Some Democratic politicians have previously called for data retention laws to extend to domain name registries and Web hosting companies and even social-networking sites. The police chiefs' proposal talks about storing information about &quot;destinations&quot; that Internet users visit.AOL said today that &quot;we are waiting to see the proposed legislation to understand what data needs to be retained and for what time period.&quot;These concepts are not exactly new. In June 2005, CNET was the first to report that the Justice Department was quietly shopping around the idea, reversing the department's previous position that it had &quot;serious reservations about broad mandatory data retention regimes.&quot; Despite support from the FBI and the Bush Justice Department, however, the proposals languished amid concerns about privacy, liability, cost, and scope. (Would coffee shops, for instance, be required to ID users and log their activities)Retention vs. preservationAt the moment, ISPs typically discard any log file that's no longer required for business reasons such as network monitoring, fraud prevention, or billing disputes. Companies do, however, alter that general rule when contacted by police performing an investigation--a practice called data preservation.A 1996 federal law called the Electronic Communication Transactional Records Act regulates data preservation. It requires Internet providers to retain any &quot;record&quot; in their possession for 90 days &quot;upon the request of a governmental entity.&quot;Because Internet addresses remain a relatively scarce commodity, ISPs tend to allocate them to customers from a pool based on whether a computer is in use at the time. (Two standard techniques used are the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol and Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet.)In addition, Internet providers are required by another federal law to report child pornography sightings to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which is in turn charged with forwarding that report to the appropriate police agency.When adopting its data retention rules, the European Parliament required that communications providers in its 25 member countries--several of which had enacted their own data retention laws already--retain customer data for a minimum of six months and a maximum of two years.The Europe-wide requirement applies to a wide variety of &quot;traffic&quot; and &quot;location&quot; data, including the identities of the customers' correspondents' the date, time, and duration of phone calls, voice over Internet Protocol calls or e-mail messages' and the location of the device used for the communications. The &quot;content&quot; of the communications is not supposed to be retained.But last March, a German court declared the national data retention law to be unconstitutional.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The W3C&amp;39's new HTML5 logo(Credit:W3C)Two days after the World Wide Web Consortium debuted a flashy new HTML5 badge, none other than the editor of the Hypertext Markup Language standard has dumped the hot tech buzzword.&quot;HTML is the new HTML5,&quot; Ian Hickson, who edits the specification, said in a blog post yesterday. The announcement embodies a more continuous development process that he's planned for more than a year, but Hickson told CNET today that the W3C's HTML5 badge--which controversially stands for a number of Web technologies beyond HTML--hastened a change that had been planned for later in 2011.&quot;Now even the W3C is saying 'HTML5' means everything from CSS to font formats, so advocates really were left without anything to specifically refer to HTML. So we asked around, and the objections to the rename were much reduced already, even compared to a week ago, so we went for it,&quot; Hickson said.The demise of the HTML5 label, though, will only affect one of the two groups that oversees HTML's development: the W3C remains attached.Hickson is a Google employee who has shepherded the standard for years, first through an informal group called the Web Hypertext Applications Technology Working Group (WHATWG) and now also with the more buttoned-down World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).Because Hickson isn't the sole authority involved, don't expect the HTML5 standard or term to suddenly vanish. Do expect a more fluid development approach, though.At WHATWG, there will be no more version numbers attached to new iterations of the HTML, Hickson said. &quot;The WHATWG HTML spec can now be considered a 'living standard.' It's more mature than any version of the HTML specification to date, so it made no sense for us to keep referring to it as merely a draft,&quot; Hickson said.However, the W3C will continue with HTML5 standardization, reflecting the tensions that result from two different organizations overseeing HTML.&quot;W3C remains the standards body for HTML5,&quot; spokesman Ian Jacobs said in a statement today. Jacobs is not aware of any changes that Hickson's decision will have on that process, he said.Hickson believes, though, that browser makers are better off following a continuously updated &quot;living standard&quot; than snapshots taken of that standard at various points in its progression. He said in the blog post:In practice, implementations [browsers] all followed the latest specs draft anyway, not the latest snapshots. The problem with following a snapshot is that you end up following something that is known to be wrong. That's obviously not the way to get interoperability! This has in fact been a real problem at the W3C, where mistakes are found and fixed in the editors' drafts of specifications, but implementors [browser makers] who aren't fully engaged in the process go and implement obsolete snapshots instead, including those bugs, without realizing the problems, and resulting in differences between the browsers.And he told CNET that he'd like for the W3C to adopt his viewpoint, though he seems to view it as very unlikely.&quot;Separate from the work at the WHATWG, and unrelated to this recent announcement, I've been trying to convince the W3C to switch to an unversioned model for a long time. It's very much at odds with the entire way the W3C is structured,&quot; Hickson said, with standards moving through a progression of drafts and votes through a process driven in part by patent matters.&quot;Still, I have hope that in time we can evolve the W3C,&quot; Hickson added. &quot;The WHATWG has already moved the W3C towards a more open model, with at least some working groups now operating almost entirely in public mailing lists, and some even allowing anyone to join. That alone would have been unfathomable a decade ago.&quot;WHATWG kept the HTML standard alive for several years when the W3C was pursuing an incompatible and ultimately unsuccessful sequel called XHTML 2.0. WHATWG has serious clout because it was founded by browser makers who have a major say in which new features arrive for use on the Web and which fall by the wayside.WHATWG's position has changed in recent years, though. For one thing, the W3C is actively trying to engage with developers and be a friendlier forum for experimenting with new ideas. For another, Microsoft--newly re-engaged in Web standards development and newly influential with its upcoming Internet Explorer 9 browser--has thrown its weight behind the W3C as the place to get things done.And not everyone is happy with Hickson's declaration. One Web developer responded to Hickson:Maybe something more granular than full point revisions is advised, but a 'living standard' is a disaster...Say I want to make sure that 95 percent of my visitors or 70 percent or whatever can use my Web site as designed, with my spending hours coding up fallbacks and all that crap How do you make a test suite and a browser compatibility chart for a &quot;living standard&quot; It sounds like HTML is becoming a sort of Wikipedia revision style chaotic nightmare.Another developer was also disgruntled--but resigned himself to the new development realities: &quot;It feels as if this is just the acceptance of the reality that the pace our industry innovates and develops makes it impossible but to work in any other way apart from a 'living' standard.&quot;Updated 12:43 p.m. PTwith comment from Hickson.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Blizzard)Activision Blizzard and social-gaming company Zynga are being sued for alleged patent infringement.Walker Digital, an &quot;invention&quot; company started by Jay Walker, the founder of Priceline.com, filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Delaware earlier this week, alleging that the companies are violating its &quot;Database driven online distributed tournament system&quot; patent.The patent was awarded to the company in 2002 and includes a &quot;product and method of distributed electronic tournaments for a plurality of players that exchanges information with a central controller to influence game play while a player plays in the tournament and stores player information to influence game play in a subsequent tournament.&quot;Walker Digital alleges in its lawsuit that the tournament-style gameplay it patented has been used by Activision Blizzard through online gaming services and by Zynga on the Web in several games. The lawsuit specifically targets Call of Duty: Black Ops, DJ Hero 2, and World of Warcraft (along with its expansions), among others in Activision Blizzard's library. Mafia Wars and Vampire Wars were among the Zynga titles cited in the lawsuit.Walker Digital is seeking damages, which the company says have yet to be determined.Neither Activision Blizzard nor Zynga immediately responded to request for comment.(Via TechCrunch)<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Jeff Immelt, the chief executive officer of General Electric, showed off what he called the &amp;''stethoscope of the 21st century&amp;'' at the Web 2.0 Summit today.He held up a white gadget with a flip-out screen and a control mechanism that looks lot like the old iPod navigation wheel. Immelt said the device could do ultrasound scans on the fly and wirelessly communicate the data as necessary. Doctors can use the devices to immediately see, for instance, if an unborn baby is in a dangerous breach position.Dubbed Vscan, the device is an example of electronic gadgets that can improve preventative care, cut healthcare costs and otherwise help people understand their healthcare situation without using expensive hospital equipment.Afterward, at a press gathering, Immelt said the Vscan technology does nothing but ultrasound. You could use it to do live liver scans or get quick looks at other body parts. He noted that the ultrasound data is very dense and may or may not be easy to use with Wi-Fi, but he said it would be &amp;''very digitally capable.&amp;'' This is one of those &amp;''decision support&amp;'' tools that will help doctors decide how to treat patients.  It fits with GE&amp;'s own mandate to be a broad diagnostics company in healthcare systems.Immelt said he didn&amp;'t know what price the new device would debut at. He said that it will hit the market sometime in 2010.Next Story: Wind companies ask &amp;''Is this heaven&amp;'' &amp;8212' No, it&amp;'s Iowa Previous Story: Web 2.0: Twitter co-founder Williams wants to kill suggested users list' praises Facebook&amp;'s agilityPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'                        Dean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[On the heels of GM&amp;'s $20 billion IPO, GM company Chevrolet has stepped in with a pledge to spend $40 million on clean energy projects in the U.S.The company is looking to offset carbon emissions &amp;8212' 8 million metric tons, to be exact, or about one year&amp;'s worth of electricity use in 971,000 U.S. homes (or, to put it another way, the year&amp;'s worth of emissions from the 1.9 million cars the automaker will sell in 2011). One of those cars is a little more emissions-friendly than the others, and that&amp;'s the Chevrolet Volt (pictured), which goes 25 to 50 miles on battery power before switching to gas.The company will make investments through third-party groups like the non-profit Bonneville Environmental Foundation. It&amp;'s looking at investments like providing smart building sensors and solar panels to schools, supporting wind farms and solar projects, and converting methane from landfills into energy.The move was lauded by Eileen Claussen, president of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, who said in a statement: &amp;''It is a big deal that (Chevrolet) is stepping forward to address one of our greatest challenges a4&quot; moving us toward a low-carbon future.&amp;''It&amp;'s certainly a big and perhaps unusual move for a company that makes gas-powered vehicles to invest in a big way in clean energy. Chevy joins some other big-name companies who&amp;'ve made big cleantech investments recently &amp;8212' that includes GE&amp;'s $55 million investment in the winners of its Ecomagination cleantech startups competition, and Google taking a 37.5 percent stake in the initial phase of what will eventually be a billion-dollar wind transmission project.Next Story: Why startup Coda thinks it can compete against Big Auto Previous Story: Plastic Jungle raises $10M for a place to exchange and sell gift cardsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: cleantech investing, electric cars, VoltCompanies: Chevrolet, GMPeople: Dan Akerson, Eileen Claussen          Tags: cleantech investing, electric cars, VoltCompanies: Chevrolet, GMPeople: Dan Akerson, Eileen ClaussenIris Kuo is the VentureBeat's lead GreenBeat writer.

<description><![CDATA[Details about the U.S. State Department cables obtained by WikiLeaks are starting to come out.  Although WikiLeaks itself may be under a denial of service attack, it provided several newspapers around the world access to the raw documents it is preparing to release later today.  The New York Times just posted it&amp;'s first article summarizing the contents of the cables and highlighting the most newsworthy ones.Among the 251,287 U.S. diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks, there is one set which deals with the massive computer attack on Google and other companies which was first revealed last January. At that time, Google went public with its contention that the attacks came from the Chinese government, and resulted in Google temporarily pulling out if China.  They returned in a more limited way last summer.  According to the NYT, some of the new leaked cables point directly at China&amp;'s Politburo for instigating the original attacks:A global computer hacking effort: Chinaa4a4s Politburo directed the intrusion into Googlea4a4s computer systems in that country, a Chinese contact told the American Embassy in Beijing in January, one cable reported. The Google hacking was part of a coordinated campaign of computer sabotage carried out by government operatives, private security experts and Internet outlaws recruited by the Chinese government. They have broken into American government computers and those of Western allies, the Dalai Lama and American businesses since 2002, cables said.The cables should shed some more light on why the White House and State Department backed Google so vociferously at the time.CrunchBase InformationGoogleWikiLeaksInformation provided by CrunchBase<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
