Comment on I read a book: Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age by CharlieChicago

Very nice review! I’ve always wanted Shirkey to do an entire book on piracy, especially in the realm of BitTorrent networks. He speaks so much on the way that users not only consume content, but also produce content that I feel he may have an interesting or unique perspective on whether supposed “piracy” should be considered more as a sort of sharing. This is covered somewhat in “Steal This Film 2″ http://www.stealthisfilm.com but from multiple perspectives (not all of them in agreement with one another necessarily). Nevertheless, I’ll certainly try to check out Clay’s latest book.

LJ has become very restrictive. It fails to offer the rich features of WordPress where one user can have multiple blogs, as I now do.

The Writer’s Block questions are inane at best. And there are times the editing features are cumbersome.

I love the set-up at WordPress. I can use the Tag Surfer to read entries to other blogs that share my interests and yet I don’t have to construct a circle of friends to get access to those other blogs. It’s a more fluid exchange between readers and commenting.

I currently have a paid account at LJ and yet I’m still subject to annoying ads that open up when I sometimes visit other members’ blogs.

I’m thinking of letting it expire at year’s end and not renewing it. I’ve got a nice group of LJ friends but am very frustrated by the limitations of the service.
