The major players for the commercialization of information will continue to be Google. Google recently released it’s new G Phone which runs on the Android operating system. This OS is very user friendly and has most of Google’s web features built right in. You can sync with Gmail inbox, contacts, calendar and tasks. There are multiple applications easily downloadable at the Google android market place and a lot of them are free. Some applications have Google ads built right into them and some have advertising in the beginning while some have none.
You have the option to turn on your location for almost any application. For example if you take a picture with the phone app you can tag the photo with the GPS coordinates. This information can be easily imported into Google maps and integrated into a smashup website to show say all bird pictures in the 06002 zip code.
There are a couple of developments to help make the deep web more available. Google developed the Sitemap Protocol that will allow search engines to discover deep web resources. DeepPeep is a project at the University of Utah which gathers deep web resources from different domains.
The intellectual property issue on the internet raises a lot of concerns on many levels. With the crippling of one’s ability to sample from intellectual property will cause more harm than good in a lot of people views.
