Backspin: Less freedom in the new digital world?
Following up on last week's Internet Kill Switch column Mark Gibbs discusses some reader feedback and wonders whether we're being softened up for a brave new digital world. More Gearhead and Backspin: Analyzing Twitter with Excel, Part 2
After looking at the update of a product that Mark Gibbs was, to put it mildly, rather critical of, he continues his self-appointed task of using Excel to
analyze Twitter data. Analyzing Twitter with Excel, Part 1
Mark Gibbs ponders how to analyze Twitter for a specific search term using the Twitter search API and Microsoft Excel. The Internet Kill Switch
There are some ideas about technology that are simply bad thinking. Sen. Rockefeller's proposal to give the president an Internet Kill Switch is monumentally wrong headed Owning your own data
There's a lot of data out there about you, but you hardly "own" most of it. What would it mean if you did own it and why does no one care yet? Aardvark solves my Gmail problem
Mark Gibbs suddenly found that with Firefox on his Mac he couldn't log in to Gmail and there was no obvious reason. After asking his friends he tried asking strangers by using Aardvark, a social search service. Surprise of surprises; he got an answer! Becoming green or just greenish?

Mark Gibbs is very impressed with a service that generates code for regular expressions and he has found that Gmail now supports importing and exporting filters. His happiness knows no bounds. Search tools: hardware, an add-on and a service
Gibbs outlines a product awaiting test that searches and captures television programs, raves about a browser search enhancement plug-in he can’t live without, and is quite impressed by a service to help you identify errors. To Tweet or not to Tweet, that's not an option
I'm writing this column for one simple reason: Once I get it written then the next time someone says to me "I don't get Twitter, it seems kinda stoopid to me. What is it all about?" I can direct them to this polemic and save my breath. Computers and five kinds of insanity
I wrote last week about New Zealand's insane copyright legislation that would make people accused of content piracy guilty until proven innocent. Over the last few days I've been marveling at how that seems to be consistent with the general level of insanity that surrounds the digital world at present. April giveaways galore
