Openleaks To Rival WikiLeaks

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

Former WikiLeaks deputy, Daniel
Domscheit-Bergto, plans to start
a rival web site, Openleaks. The
web site has no content on it except
a logo and the message "Coming soon!"

In an interview with the OWNI technology
web site, Domscheit-Berg didn't go into
reasons for his disagreement with WikiLeaks
but suggested it strayed from its mission.

"In these last months, the organization has
not been open any more, it lost its open-source
promise," he explained, adding that Openleaks
plans to provide the means for leaked
information to be published, without itself
being a publisher.

Domscheit-Berg, had been involved with
German hacker group the Chaos Computer Club.

Openleaks would begin trials in early 2011 and
turn to bigger media later, Domscheit-Berg
confirmed. It currently has 10 members.

The End of Google's Wave

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

The Wave has not seen the adoption we
would have liked, and elements of Wave's
technology- including drag/drop and
character-by-character live typing are an
open source. Users can "liberate their
content from Wave", Google explained in a
post last night.

Google stated it will stop development on
the Wave cross platform tool that was launched
in May of 2009.

The Wave design appeared to replace e-mail,
and other tools.

The problem was it didn't appeal to many, or
people didn't know about the Wave.

"Remember, we celebrate our failures. This
is a company where it's absolutely okay to
try something that's very hard, have it not
be successful, and learn from that," Eric
Schmidt, Chief Executive.

Unfortunately, The Wave was one of those
failures.
