  • The Contagious Media Showdown workshops (May 7, NYC) will include an Identity Correction by the Yes Men (emphasis added):

    In this keynote, the Yes Men will show you how to impersonate the world’s most powerful corporations and organizations. You will learn the process of "identity correction", a special kind of contagious media that helps activists get their message to the masses. The Yes Men have received international media attention for correcting the identity of the World Trade Organization, McDonald’s, and Dow Chemical. For their live performance at Eyebeam, they will clone an official corporate web site, subtly change the content so it actually reflects the truth, and upload to a new server. Then they will give the cloned web site to a lucky audience member who can become a Yes Man by taking the controls of the site.

  • The weblog of Boeing’s Randy Baseler has started to use a blogging software (via Josh Hallet). The blog’s source shows that they plan to add categories and RSS feeds for them.
  • The University of South Florida is offering free WordPress blogs to all students. (via Josh Hallet). There is an agreement that students have to sign before creating a blog, and there’s a technical FAQ, but I wonder if the University has a program for communicating what "this blogging thing is about."
  • Carat Interactive launches blogging practice (press release) (via Fredrik Wackå). Does anyone remember MWW Group’s blog practice announcement?
