They can have their criminal records expunged, and in theory that means that all traces of their encounters with the justice system will disappear. But enormous commercial databases are fast undoing the societal bargain of expungement, one that used to give people who had committed minor crimes a clean slate and a fresh start." <a href="/stevencohen/2006/10/17#When:4:10:14AM"><img src="http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif" width="6" height="9" border="0" alt="Permanent link to this item in the archive."></a></p>
<p><a name="When:3:56:41AM"></a><a href="http://www.llrx.com/columns/tao8.htm">Flickr is the Web Photo Tool Preferred by Superheroes and Librarians</a> - (LLRX - 10/15/06) - "What truly sets Flickr apart as a Web 2.0 application, however, is the tagging. Tagging allows everyone to search for photos of the same subject. The tags also indicate which photos belong to a specific group. As with other social software of its ilk, there is no subject authority. Everyone does his or her own tagging. Photos by other people can also be marked and saved as "favorites" and individuals can add each other to their contact lists. Photos can be made either publicly available, or marked as private for viewing by invited friends and family. With all this functionality, no wonder Flickr was acquired by Yahoo! back in 2005." <a href="/stevencohen/2006/10/17#When:3:56:41AM"><img src="http://www.scripting.com/images/2001/09/20/sharpPermaLink3.gif" width="6" height="9" border="0" alt="Permanent link to this item in the archive."></a></p>
