Freedom (CC_BY_NC flickr:paingouin)

Free, as in free to use, free to contribute, free to distribute. What’s that worth to you? Can you put a price tag on it? What if the “sum of human knowledge” was there for you to just reach out and grab it. Would you pay for that priviledge?

Some people would, anyway. Mindpark and Joakim Jardenberg just did, in donating 25 000 SEK to the Swedish chapter of Wikimedia Foundation.

“It’s substantially less than what we pay to [Swedish commersial encyklopedia] every year, and it’s far less than a months wage would cost us.”

Joakim hopes that more media companies will follow his lead, and expresses that it’s a reasonable amount to secure a free swedish encyklopedia for the future.

I can only agree. So, if you’re not already supporting the Wikimedia Foundation in your country, or globally, please consider it.

Freedom doesn’t have a price tag. There’s noone sending you a bill for using it. But keep in mind that if someone’s to pay for your freedom – it might as well be you.

on Flickr – Photo Sharing!

I just noticed this image on one of the Flickr accounts I’m following (dev null) with my Flock Browser. I’m at home, minding my own business, reading blogs, starting a twitter account and suddenly I see this image. Swooosh, I’m in Bratislava.

Social browsing is bringing everything and everyone closer. I havn’t the faintest cue about who “dev null” is or why he/she was in Bratislava, but now I’m there too. By the way, check out the pictures, there are some really noce ones in the dev null collection.

About Flock – if you havn’t tried it, give it a chance. If you’re using facebook, twitter, blogging, uploading images to flickr/photobucket, digging, or using any of the many Flock-supported online services – you’ll find that Flock does most of the work for you.

“Stay Connected. Rule the Web.”

Here it Comes! Anonymity is getting banned in Sweden?

What more can I say? I’m amazed. Encryption up next I guess…
