The SBM Boom

Just a glance over this list of Free Bookmark Managers is enough to show how much of an increase such services have enjyed in the last 12 months or so.

For many (like me) they’ve become a central source for finding and sharing new and interesting stuff on the net.

Check this D-Lib Magazine Social Bookmarking Tools: A General Review, as well as the follow-up Case Study of Connotea .

A Symbol of Individual Rights

Individual-iIndividual-i

Today, the rights of individuals are being eroded: by government, by corporations, by society itself. This icon — the Individual-i — represents the rights of the individual.

It represents the right to privacy and anonymity in the information age. It represents the rights to an open government, due process, and equal protection under the law. It represents the right to live surveillance free, and not to be marked as “suspicious” for wanting these other rights.

It recognizes that a free society is a safe society, and that freedom is founded upon individual rights.

The battle for individual rights is just beginning; our side needs a symbol.

We hope to see this symbol displayed proudly wherever individual rights are valued.
