I'm happy to announce that more than 160 O'Reilly books are now available on Kindle, and are being sold without any DRM (Digital Rights Management). Though we do offer more than 400 ebooks direct from our website, the number for sale on Kindle will be limited until Amazon updates Kindle 1 to support table rendering ("maybe this summer" is the most specific they would get). We expect to add another 100 or so titles in the coming weeks; those have needed a more detailed analysis of the table content to identify good candidates. There were two main reasons we held our books back from sale on Kindle: poor rendering of complex content and compulsory DRM. Read more.
Slate's Moneybox has an interactive map that shows job creation and loss throughout the US for the past two years. Watching it flow through each month's up and down definitely made the employment situation in the country clearer to me. Like any great visualization image and the legend make it very clear what's happening. Slate's piece includes an explanation of how they created the map using the Labor Department's local area unemployment statistics. Read more.
A lot of information we have about cities comes through direct and intentioned observation and study, but could a lot of the time and expense spent on this research be garnered just as well by mining the data that citizens generate in their day-to-day lives through cell phone traffic and internet usage? That's one of the questions that Andrea Vaccari, a research associate at the MIT SENSEable City Lab, is trying to find out. Andrea will be speaking at the Where 2.0 Conference in May on the research that the SENSEable City Project is doing. Read more.
Over the next week, the iTunes App Store is set to record its billionth download, an impressive milestone given that it launched less than a year ago. Granted the actual usage of most apps is spotty. To mark the event, I'm updating a few charts that I produced for previous posts. Slightly over 35,000 apps have appeared in the U.S. app store. Over 31,000 were available in the last week alone, about 78% of which were PAID apps. Read more.
This week's Ignite Show features Seattle PI reporter Monica Guzman. She's spent most of her career writing for online properties and she's been able to watch learn what makes for a good conversation around a news item. As someone who also spends a lot of time publishing content online I can appreciate Monica's thoughts on good commenters and hearing some of what she deals with makes me very appreciative of our readers and how you add to the conversations on our site. Read more.
I had my first encounter with web services about two years ago. I was contracting at the time, and Adobe had just announced the end of development of the software where I had most of my reputation, Authorware. I needed to retool my skills to Adobe Flex, and I needed to convey to potential clients what kind of skills they could expect as I was retooling. I decided I wanted my company website to reflect the bleeding edge of what I was doing. But I was also devoting a lot of time to blogging and participating in online newsgroups to try to spread the word, and I just didn't have time to manually update my site as often as I felt I needed to.

Location can be a vague concept to pin down. To a surveyor, location means latitude and longitude accurate to a few millimeters, while to a cab driver, a street address would be much more useful. If you're German, I can tell you that I live in the United States. To a Californian, I live in New Hampshire. And to someone from Manchester, I live in Derry. Unfortunately, the way that location is currently stored and presented online is both non-uniform and frequently at a level of precision inappropriate for the end-user. That's part of what Open Location is trying to fix. Tyler Bell, who took his doctorate from Oxford to Yahoo, is currently the product lead for the Yahoo Geo Technology Group. At O'Reilly's Where 2.0 Conference, he'll be discussing Open Location. Read more.
According to USA Today, Maker Faire Bay Area is one of the ten best places in the nation for a family-friendly, hands-on craft experience. And this May's 4th Annual Maker Faire Bay Area is heeding President Obama's call to "begin the work of remaking America." With the theme, Re-Make America, Maker Faire celebrates the folks the President described as the "risk takers, the doers, and the makers of things." Plan on joining us at Maker Faire, May 30 & 31, at the San Mateo County Expo Center. Tickets available for purchase now.
"There is a reason that the word "social" is being applied as a prefix everywhere--from social media, social computing and the social Web to social capital and the social enterprise," writes Joshua-Michéle Ross in a new O'Reilly Insights column on Forbes.com. "Why is our society massively adopting social technologies? Because we can." In the column, Ross explores how new social technologies are changing the way business is conducted. Find out if you agree with Ross' views.
Business research usually starts with a list -- brands, competitors, people, products, whatever. This post describes a quick Python script that uses the Google Search API to automate the routine parts of the task, giving you more time to analyze and understand the results. Read more.

In an earlier post, I said that key to government opening its data to citizens, being more transparent, and improving the relationship between citizens and government in light of our web 2.0 world was ensuring content on government sites could be easily found in search engines. Architecting sites to be search engine friendly, particularly sites with as much content and legacy code as those the government manages, can be a resource-intensive process that takes careful long-term planning. But two keys are assessing who the audience is and what they're searching for and also ensuring the site architecture is easily crawlable... Read more.

On June 29, 2007 the Free Software Foundation released the GNU General Public License, version 3. What happened since then? Federico Biancuzzi had the opportunity to discuss many subjects with FSF's founder and president Richard Stallman. This interview explores Stallman's views on a range of topics including the relationship between GNU and Linux, U.S. laws around software patents and the major initiatives of the Free Software movement.
