Gameshow Stampede Kills 74
Seventy-four people died in a gameshow stampede Saturday.
Most of those people were members of the Philippine urban poor, lining up for days for a shot at a gameshow prize. Some of them were children. Those poor souls fell prey to a Philippine media culture that would rather exploit than empower.
Twenty-four hours before that stampede, I gave a presentation to Don Bosco Technical College students on participative Internet technologies. The next generation of Filipinos embraces empowering social media. I pray that generation will end the murderously exploitative savagery of our outdated media culture.

Google Bans BMW.DE
The Googlebot has become powerful enough to crush all BMWs in Germany.
Google bans BMW.DE for using doorway pages, an unethical search engine optimization method.
It's not without some guilty satisfaction that I watch a purebred Internet company stand up to a large traditional company.
