| Thoof: social bookmarking meets wiki-style editing Cory Doctorow:
Thoof, a new social bookmarking tool, just launched. Like Digg and Reddit, Thoof aggregates user-submitted links and ranks them by popularity, but it includes the Wikipedia-like ability for any user to change and improve any post on the board, making it cleaner and more legible.
Thoof is the latest project from Freenet creator Ian Clarke, a wildly creative geek who's always up to something cool. I was honored to be asked to join the Thoof advisory board, and I'm looking forward to seeing what |

| Symphony for old IBM mainframe Cory Doctorow:
In 1964, an Icelandic IBM 1401 mainframe engineer figured out how to get the machine to emit beautiful, bassy notes, and composed a symphony for it. Now his son is touring the symphony wiht interpretive dance thrown in.
Fast-forward four decades, and recently discovered tape recordings of Gunnarson's works form the basis of a touring song-and-dance performance, IBM 1401: A User's Manual. The show was composed by Gunnarson's son Jóhann Jóhannsson, with interpretive dance chore |

| MySpace, Facebook mirror class divisions in US society Cory Doctorow:
My friend danah boyd -- frequently featured here -- is one of the best social scientists working on social networking sites today. She's just published a working draft of a paper called "Viewing American class divisions through Facebook and MySpace," which posits that well-to-do, stable American teens with "good prospects" end up on Facebook, while poor, queer, marginal and non-white teens end up on MySpace (even in the military, grunts are on MySpace and officers are on Facebook -- guess which one the military banned!)
As with all danah's work, this is prov |

| More funny stuff from the lawyer going after SmartFlix Mark Frauenfelder:
Travis Corcoran owns a how-to DVD rental service called SmartFlix. A while back, a DVD maker contacted Corcoran and told him to stop renting his DVD on SmartFlix. Corcoran said no, and the DVD maker hired a lawyer, with the almost-too-good-to-be-true name of Robert H. Tourtelot.
Tourtelot's methods of trying to get Corcoran to stop renting his client's DVD are unique. First, he joked with his client that Corcoran was under 5'6" tall (cc'ing Corcoran in the email). Next, the attorney challenged Corcoran to a fight (inc |

BoingBoing reader Stephen Lindholm says,
Good news for T-Mobile customers. In a class action brought against T-Mobile, this past week, the plaintiffs have successfully argued that T-Mobile cannot prevent its customers from filing a class action against it. The plaintiffs are suing over non-prorated early termination fees and the selling of SIM-locked handsets.

| Lessig switches from copyright to corruption Cory Doctorow:
Last week, at the International Creative Commons Summit in Dubrovnik, Croatia, Lawrence Lessig made a stunning announcement: he is going to retire from copyfighting and take up a new career, fighting for a new issue. He's going to stay involved with Creative Commons as its CEO, but from now on, he's working to fry a bigger fish: the corruption that leads countries to make bad copyright laws and other regulations, even when they know that the laws are bad for their society.
