Google Inc. is taking a swipe at Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. with a new feature that makes it easier for users of Gmail to view media and status updates shared online by their friends.

Google could announce the new Gmail feature as soon as this week, said people familiar with the matter. A Google spokeswoman declined to comment.

The change adds a module to the Gmail screen that will display a stream of updates from individuals a user chooses to connect with, said one of these people. It is a format popularized by Facebook and Twitter.

Some 2,500 brand IDs appear, and mascots like the Pringles, AOL and M&M’s guys, Ronald McDonald, the Michelin Man and countless others make an appearance. The concept is played for laughs (there are car chases and a hostage crisis, among other things), but it’s no huge leap to envision such a world. We already walk around covered head to toe in designer logos, and phrases like “Turn left at the Citgo sign” and “It’s two blocks down from Petco Park” increasingly help us find our way. It’s just a matter of time before life-size animated avatars stroll down Main Street, humming jingles and chanting taglines. Call me old fashioned, but when Geico’s cavemen move in next door, there goes the neighborhood!

H5 directed many videos (Alex Gopher, Massive Attack, Goldfrapp, Röyksopp…), and has regularly been invited to exhibitions (2007 Nuit Blanche, Beaubourg, MoMA…).
Logorama is its first short film.

The Public Domain Manifesto aims at reminding citizens and policy-makers of a common wealth that, since it belongs to all, it is often defended by no-one. In a time where we for the first time in history have the tools to enable direct access to most of our shared culture and knowledge it is important that policy makers and citizens strengthen the legal concept that enables free and unrestricted access and reuse.
The Public Domain Manifesto outlines first a series of general principles, including but not limited to: the Public Domain is the rule, copyright protection is the exception; Copyright protection should last only as long as necessary to achieve a reasonable compromise between protecting and rewarding the author for his intellectual labour and safeguarding the public interest in the dissemination of culture and knowledge. The voluntary relinquishment of copyright and sharing of protected works are legitimate exercises of copyright exclusivity. After addressing various issues relevant to today’s Public Domain, the Manifesto provides some final recommendations aimed at protecting the Public Domain and ensuring that it can continue to function in a meaningful way. While these recommendations are applicable across the spectrum of copyright, they are of particular relevance to education, cultural heritage and scientific research.
