Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
plato.stanford.edu
From its inception, the SEP was designed so that each entry is maintained and kept up to date by an expert or group of experts in the field. All entries and substantive updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are made public. Consequently, our dynamic reference work maintains academic standards while evolving and adapting in response to new research.

http://www.interaction-design.org/
A great resource for the field of interaction design, with contributors from top universities and companies such as Stanford, MIT, Google, Yahoo and IBM. Some of its mission objectives are to provide free and open access to top-grade educational materials on how to design technology and to educate technology designers on how to make more people-oriented and easy-to-use technology - like websites, household appliances, software applications, and mobile devices.

Pirate Bay Documentary Film Now Available On TPB
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/02/09/031250/pirate-bay-documentary-film-now-available-on-tpb
The documentary TPB AFK follows the creators of The Pirate Bay — Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij and Gottfrid Svartholm — through their technical and logistical trials of keeping TPB online as well as their court appearances in Sweden. After its premiere at Berlin International Film Festival, TechCrunch is reporting that TPB AFK is now available under a Creative Commons license for purchase, download on TPB, or viewing on YouTube. The budget for the film was raised on Kickstarter, where the makers achieved twice the funding goal in the allotted month-long funding campaign. The film already has 40,000 YouTube views, 19,000 torrent seeders, and over 2,000 paid downloads. There are public screenings happening world-wide.

Paradoxo da escolha e a Web 2.0
Web 2.0, interactivadade onde antes reinava o estático, de espectador a criador, modificador de conteúdo "em tempo real". Uma cascata interminável de informação que, para ser bem aproveitada, exige uma mente atenta, que saiba onde existam recursos adequados, que faça por conhecer esses recursos, que os saiba organizar, aproveitar, descartar, e continuar a procurar por outros, sem chegar a um pico de impotência perante tanto sítio com o mesmo tipo de informação, com o mesmo estilo de escrita. Seria este o cenário ideal para uma navegação mais sã pela Internet.
É de certa forma necessário ignorar muito do que se passa lá fora porque a Web 2.0 veio-nos "garantir" que iremos sempre achar dezenas de sites com o mesmo tipo de informação que nos deixam, à primeira vista, paralisados por não sabermos escolher. O paradoxo da escolha, a paralisia por termos simplesmente demasiadas escolhas e, independentemente da escolha que fizermos, ficarmos sempre arrependidos.
É deste emaranhado caótico de informação e contra-informação que surge a necessidade de os sites com grande volume de tráfego terem uma certa consciência social, de explicarem que nível de Internet é este que temos e como aproveitá-lo da melhora maneira, como usar um motor de busca correctamente, como gerir as várias identidades que temos na internet (conta de email, conta de myspace, conta de blog, etc) a partir de um único ou vários sites, estratégias para uma navegação mais saudável.
