Prostitution as income supplement

More Belle de Jour/Brooke Magnanti Interviews

Here are 2 more interviews with famous sex blogger Belle de Jour, who revealed herself as a research scientist named Brooke Magnanti. One from the New Scientist and one from Freakonomics.

Jason Calacanis: "I Plan On Buying $250,000 Worth Of AOL Stock"

As the founder of Weblogs Inc., Jason Calacanis is, in many ways, the cofounder of the new AOL, which will be built around the company's network of 80 blogs and content sites.

Facebook Agrees To Set Friend Lists Free. Mashups With Twitter Lists Should Follow.

Today, during the Filtering the Stream roundtable at our RealTime CrunchUp , Seesmic's Loic Le Meur asked why Facebook isn't giving third parties access to their Friend Lists. Obviously, that's a good question now that Twitter has starting giving third parties access to its Lists feature via an API. Normally, you'd expect a canned response along the lines of "we may do that in the future"...

But that Dr Brooke Magnanti has had to out herself in an act of pre-emption against the Daily Mail perhaps suggests a hint of disingenuousness on her part. Just over three years ago I worked a stint in Amsterdam....

A Google-eyed slant on the world - Dianne Hofmeyr

As a break from editing the bare breasts and sex out of my Egyptian novel Eye of the Moon for a US publisher, I’m reading Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall and Jeff Jarvis’s What Would Google Do? simultaneously. The three make very odd companions while I shift from 1500 BC to the 16th century, and then on to the digital world of now. In What Would Google Do? Jeff Jarvis suggests we have to...
