Matt Mower: "Trying to charge people $9 or $19 a month for something which they used to get for free sounds like a dizzingly stupid idea to me."

Matt's referring to recent changes at Meetup.com regarding charging for something that they used to give away. Worth the read.

Dave Slusher, Adam Curry and Ethics

Dave Slusher "I think the ethical thing to do in this situation is to use a big ol' stick mike with a cube on it such that it is obvious that the conversation is being recorded."

Dave Slusher posts on Adam Curry's recent soundseeing recordings, mentioning that Adam records people's conversation without their knowledge. We're rapidly approaching a point in our society where the lines of personal privacy will be too blurred to recognize a boundary any longer.
