Something we’re not seeing? Perhaps a new crime: “Talking about the DA?”
Coming back for more: NYC
DA after more info on Malcolm Harris
March 12, 2012 by Dissent
Over the weekend, the news broke:
Occupy Wall Street activist and writer Malcolm Harris
(@getsworse) today received a second subpoena from
Twitter.
The DA appears to want a bigger bite of his identity,
including “all public Tweets posted for the period of 9/15/2011 – 10/31/2011
and 2/1/2012 – 2/15/2012″ and his “subscriber information: name; address; records of
session times and duration; length of service (including creation date); types
of service utilized; telephone or instrument number or any other subscriber
number or identity, including any temporarily assigned network address.”
The second set of dates coincides with when Harris
received the first subpoena. Shortly after, he changed his Twitter handle
from @destructuremal to @getsworse.

All this for a violation of obstructing traffic? Seriously? What is the NYC District Attorney really up
to? And why, oh why, does Twitter
continue to retain so much information?
Zillman strikes again?

Resources - Marcus P. Zillman's
guide is focused on current web sites, blogs and database sources targeted to
researchers whose goal is the discovery and effective use of specific,
reliable resources to track the New Economy. These sources assume
added importance with the expansion in U.S. government transparency, the rise
in prominence of "big data" and the public release by agencies, NGOs,
public interest groups and media, of diverse databases of analytics, reports,
statistical releases, and customized charts.
This might be fun to play with…
Infographics For Everyone:
Visual.ly Launches First Automated Tool Out Of Beta
If you are among those who feel that we see too many
infographics these days, be prepared for a little more eye candy: Visual.ly,
which offers an online tool to create instant visualizations of data, is
launching its first public product out of
beta.
The service will let users take publicly-available data
such as information from a Twitter hashtag or a Facebook feed, and then select
a template (currently five, with each having two to three variations within it)
to instantly visualize it.
