The NetThe Web The Chaos
This online bibliography is simply an informally organised collection of online items perhaps relevant to my essay on spam. The collecting was mostly done from my regular online reading as I wrote the essay.

These first few items are most directly relevant to the essay, and were mostly cited there.

One in seven new mobiles "faulty", BBC, 2005 August 1 (at least two million of the 18 million mobiles sold last year in the UK could have been faulty)

Ben Hammersley, A moral imperative, Guardian, 2005 July 7 (nearly two years since the BBC announced plans to open its archives to non-commercial use, what has happened?)

US holds onto key internet role, BBC, 2005 July 1 (the US government has said it intends to maintain its role in overseeing how the internet works)

Matthew R Miller, China far outpaces India in Web use (undeterred by China's restrictions, Yahoo, which owns the world's most-visited Web portal, invested $120 million in a Chinese search engine in 2003)

Helena Norberg-Hodge, Learning from Ladakh, Trumpeter 1993
David Leser, Global Warning, Good Weekend, 2000 May 27 (an interview with Helena-Norberg-Hodge that touches on the problems of the Ladakh people and includes links to further interviews; the site also has an
article by Norberg-Hodge with details of the Ladakh problem)
Robert Gilman, Ladakh, In Context, Iss.17, 1987 Summer, Being Global Neighbors, (an interview with Helena Norberg-Hodge; and another of 1992 Spring)

Cory Doctorow, Metacrap: Putting the torch to seven strawmen of the meta-utopia 2001 August 26
