Great stuff from George Parker about the devaluation of original content and labor in the age of social media. He references LinkedIn’s new wage for translators ($0) – reported in the NY Times.

Zone of Trust?
Interesting Observer article on the ‘culture wars’ going on at the NY Times over the use of Twitter. New guard, meet the old guard. Sounds like a train wreck.
