		<title>After the paywall, newspapers now plan the worldwide expansion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The empire is back! The new trend among news organisations: expansion. Britain&#8217;s Daily Mail, since last week the biggest online newspaper in the world when it surpassed the New York Times by 500,000 unique visitors, is a good example. After its editor-in-chief Martin Clarke took the US by storm with two offices in New York [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is essential</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The following sentence weirdly hang about in Fyodor Dostoyevsky &#8220;The Possessed&#8221;, which I read between the years. Okay: still read, but it is nearly finished. 
Daughters will grow up even in the most careful families, and it is essential for grown up daughters to dance. 418
Happy 2012.

		<title>How middle class is the mobile web?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I found a link to this interesting post on &#8216;The Mobile Web in Numbers&#8217; in my Twitter stream and I decided to do a bit of maths. Among lot&#8217;s of interesting stats, the post starts with the following numbers: 
5.9 billion is the estimated number of mobile subscriptions worldwide in 2011.
13% is the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why 2012 will be the year of television</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It started as a trick: in the summer of 2006 I came back from an extended stay to Berkeley. As part of me didn&#8217;t want to leave the XXL-mildness of California, I came up with the brilliant idea that I am not really back unless I expose myself again to German television. No sooner thought [...]]]></description>

		<title>The gesture of technology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Um. When the French Philosopher Gilbert Simondon thought about technology in 1958, he wrote the following sentence: &#8216;Human reality resides in machines as human actions fixed and crystalized in functioning structures&#8217;. This leads to the following question: if technology is &#8216;human actions fixed&#8217;, can we say that there is something like a gesture of technology? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is society even more unjust than we think it is?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In this meeting room of Lloyds in London experts in risk meet and enjoy the view. 
We all enjoy living in a society that is characterised by division of labour. As social beings, we might be worried that the gap between rich and poor widens, but we also believe that the difference in wages are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can a list tell a story? Yes, it can. Look.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to search, lists have become ubiquitous. They are everywhere. Surely they have always been a cultural technique, but as the digital is spreading, they have became more and more important. Which is usually not seen as a good thing. Isn&#8217;t the list another sign of knowledge becoming shallow?
It is true, at first sight it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public Opinion, 1922 to 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; we can steadily increase our real control over these (public) acts by insisting that all of them shall be plainly recorded and that their results should objectively measured. I should say, perhaps, that we can progressively hope to insist. For the working out of such standards and of such audits has only begun.

		<title>Reporting the war &#8211; when does transparency turn into blind fascination?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After I came home from the ICA yesterday where several political thinkers had spoken, I turned on the news while preparing dinner. The BBC reported on Libya, and I got deeply worried. I checked other news sides, but the tendency was the same. We are at war.
Listen to the following cut copy news paste: The [...]]]></description>

		<title>This digital life: Mirror, mirror on the &#8230; Blackberry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Writing about the effect of digitalization on knowledge and how we all became experts via our new devices, I spent this morning researching the amazing medical apps from Epocrates to the Google Body browser. Body parts all over the place. Looking up from my British Library salad at lunch I suddenly face huge bared teeth [...]]]></description>
