Citibank Debuts Online Person-to-Person Payment System
Citibank this week launched its own online person-to-person payment system in an attempt to
rival popular services such as PayPal.
The new system, called C2it, allows people to transfer funds to others by using the Internet.
Such services have proved popular among online auction users, small businesses that don't accept
credit cards and people who want to pay bills to vendors that can't receive other electronic payments.
C2it users can move funds from any bank account, brokerage account or credit card in their name
at any financial institution and have those funds credited to any credit card, deposited into any bank
account or issued in the form of a check, said Sami Siddiqui, head of the new service.

Ballots Need an Upgrade -- Duh!
Down in Rio, they're laughing at big, powerful America.
Thousands of Brazilians, who vote using ATM-style machines at their
precincts, must be sending incredulous e-mails to their expat pals in Palm
Beach County, Florida: "You fellas use punch cards?"

BW Online | November 9, 2000 | Is It an Encyclopedia or a Web Site?
When Eric Weisstein was a forgetful freshman at Cornell University, he began
jotting down useful facts in an effort to better remember fine details. These
notes covered everything from music to math, from the meaning of the bass clef
to the number of times physicist John Bardeen won the Nobel prize. Weisstein
scribbled through his master's and doctoral studies in planetary astronomy. By
1995, his math notes had become the basis of a popular Web site dubbed Eric's
Treasure Trove of Math.
Figuring he had plenty of solid material, Weisstein asked a number of publishers if they might be interested in
publishing his math encyclopedia. Technical publisher CRC Press took the bait and published the 1,969-page,
Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics in 1998.
MATH PROBLEM. But the once-amicable relationship between CRC and Weisstein has since disintegrated into
a litigious slugfest. After technical software company Wolfram Research Inc. (WRI) began sponsoring Weisstein's
Treasure Trove site in June, 1999, CRC claimed that Weisstein's continuing work on the Web infringed on CRC's
copyright. On Oct. 23, a U.S. District Court in Illinois, at the behest of CRC, forced Weisstein to close down the
math portion of his site.

ClickZ : Developing a Pricing Strategy: Part 1
This is the first of two articles on
developing a pricing strategy for Internet
products and services.
There is a continuum that is used to develop a pricing
strategy. On one end is your cost to develop the product and
your profit targets (margins). Customer demand, competition,
and other market forces define the other end of the
continuum.
This first article focuses on margins, the measure of cost and
profitability of a product. It is the basis for determining the
financial success of your products and therefore your
responsibility as a product manager.

ClickZ : The Commodification of Online Media
Is media a commodity or not? Are price and
service the only distinguishing factors that
a buyer should take into consideration
when putting together a media buy? Is
there ever a consideration for quality, and does that quality
make a difference to an advertiser's bottom line?

ClickZ : Finding Advertisers for Your Publication
Finding advertisers and sponsors ain't easy.
Think about it. Most of the ad money being
spent these days -- at least the online ad
money being tracked -- is going through interactive agencies
or divisions of ad agencies.
The decisions are being made by media buyers, planners, and
directors who have game plans that you're not privy to,
budgets that you cannot know, rules that you'll find out
about when you break them, and clients whom they would
prefer you never contact.

The 2000 Election
Door by door in the sprawling Lakes of Delray complex, north of Fort Lauderdale, and south of
West Palm Beach, it was the same story. Many of them did get it right, they said.
In the precinct, made up largely of the Lakes of Delray condominiums and similar
communities, an even 1,500 people voted for Mr. Gore, 151 voted for Gov. George W. Bush
of Texas, and 47 for Mr. Buchanan.
Residents here complained about the ballots long before the polls closed, refuting the argument
by some Republicans that they were trying to deliver Florida for Mr. Gore long after the polls
closed.
But people here said they had criticized the ballots long before they knew that Palm Beach
County would become such a big story in the race. On Election Day, they called newspapers
and radio and television stations, complaining that the ballot was confusing. They called
election officials and state and local politicians.

Copyright Office Issues Unusual Rule
Copyright Office Issues Unusual Rule
By CARL S. KAPLAN
t's not every day that the federal government gives its blessing to
hacking. But that's what happened last week when the U.S.
Copyright Office issued a special rule clarifying a new federal law
that governs copyright in the digital age.
In a nutshell, the Copyright Office said that the new law, the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, permits people in certain
circumstances to break through the technological barriers that
safeguard lists of blocked Web sites maintained by many types of
filtering software.
This means that critics of filtering software are free under the new law
to hack their way past encryption schemes to get their hands on the
so-called blacklist of banned sites. The loophole for censorware
hackers is designed to further the public debate about the use and
value of blocking software, according to the Copyright Office

Bill Gates Turns Skeptical on Digital Solution's Scope
The premise was that "market drivers"
could be used "to bring the benefits of connectivity
and participation in the e-economy to all of the
world's six billion people," according to conference
materials, but the speaker would have little of it.
"I mean, do people have a clear view of what it
means to live on $1 a day?" the speaker, William
H. Gates, asked. "There's no electricity in that
house. None."
When a moderator brought up solar power, Mr.
Gates shot back, "No! You can't afford a solar power
system for less than $1 a day." And, "You're just
buying food, you're trying to stay alive."
It is a theme to which Mr. Gates, the world's richest
man, returns in an interview at his office here at the
Microsoft Corporation, the giant software maker he
founded. Pacing the room, waving his hands, he
conjures up an image of an African village that
receives a computer.
"The mothers are going to walk right up to that
computer and say, My children are dying, what can
you do?" Mr. Gates says. "They're not going to sit
there and like, browse eBay or something. What
they want is for their children to live. They don't
want their children's growth to be stunted. Do you
really have to put in computers to figure that out?"

"Cochran takes case of actor killed by officer" -- Mercury News
http://www0.mercurycenter.com/premium/local/docs/costume01.htm
Yesterday, the mayor of Los Angeles, Richard Riordan, reluctantly agreed to allow an outside monitor to oversee the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) for the
next five years rather than face the federal civil rights lawsuit threatened by the Department of Justice (DoJ). The consent decree is the latest development in what has
come to be known as "the Rampart scandal," a corruption scandal that came to light last September when officer Rafael Perez gave testimony against the police as part
of a plea bargain. Since then, more than 100 criminal convictions have been overturned, thousands more are still being looked at, and over 70 police officers are being
investigated. The first corruption trial against four LAPD officers may draw to a close as early as next week, and meanwhile, some have raised new criticism against
the department after the recent fatal shooting of actor Anthony Lee at a Halloween party.
AP (via YahooNews!) and CNN cover the latest news, with the former reporting on yesterday's agreement between the city and the Justice Department and the latter
reviewing the progress of the trial of the four officers charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, and false arrest. The New York Times Magazine's lengthy article
from last month, "One Bad Cop," gives the background on the Rampart scandal and Rafael Perez's career and testimony. On March 1, the LAPD Board of Inquiry
(BOI) released the results of its investigation, "Rampart Area Corruption Incident." The report determines that "the Rampart corruption incident occurred because a
few individuals decided to engage in blatant misconduct and, in some cases, criminal behavior." Nonetheless, the BOI recommended 108 changes to departmental
policy and procedure (see the March 10, 2000 Scout Report for a full description of the report). In turn, the Police Protective League commissioned an analysis of the
BOI report in which University of Southern California law professor Erwin Chemerinsky argues that the BOI minimizes the issues it was tasked to address and "fails
to recognize that the central problem is the culture of the Los Angeles Police Department." The LAPD and the DoJ Websites offer extensive coverage of their
activities above and beyond the Rampart scandal. Finally, the Mercury News reports that Johnnie Cochran is representing Anthony Lee's family in their case against
the LAPD. [TK]

Over the weekend, Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Lieberman urged Nader-supporters to consider that a vote for Nader could well end up giving George W.
Bush the White House. Lieberman was echoing the thoughts of a growing number of liberals, including Gloria Steinem and the presidents of the Sierra Club and the
National Organization for Women, who are stumping for Gore in selected toss-up states. Such concerns are justified by recent polling data that give Nader sufficient
support in states like Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan to tip the balance from Gore to Bush, assuming, as most polls show, that Nader draws
more from potential Gore voters than potential Bush voters. In this same vein, some earlier prominent, Nader-led activists, dubbed "Nader's Raiders," have shifted their
loyalties and, at the prospect of a Bush presidency, turned to Gore. But the Green Party's candidate is himself undeterred, stating frankly on ABC News's This Week
Sunday that "if he [Gore] cannot defeat the bumbling Texas governor with that horrific record, what good is he? It should be a slam dunk." Analysts are divided over
whether would-be Nader voters will break at the last minute for Gore, accepting the thinking of democratic leaders that only a vote for a potential winner means anything,
or whether they will stick with Nader, using their vote, it would seem, to express a fundamental dissatisfaction with the current political system.
Yahoo! posts a Reuters's article (1) summarizing Nader's surge in key battleground states. The New York Times (2) offers coverage of a campaign by prominent
progressives to convince Nader voters in Washington, New Mexico, Minnesota, Oregon, and Wisconsin to vote for Gore. An article in the electronic edition of The
Christian Science Monitor (3) highlights voters on the left and their struggle to choose between the electable, but very moderate, Gore and the apparently unelectable, but
staunchly progressive, Nader. In their "on the road" coverage of the campaigns, Salon.com (4) describes Gore's efforts to highlight his environmentalism on the stump to
persuade swing voters to choose him. Social historian and former sixties activist Todd Gitlin, makes the argument (5) that a vote for Nader is irresponsible, given the
consequences of a Bush presidency, and Alexander Cockburn's online edition of Counterpunch (6) disputes such an argument. The New York Times has posted a special
section (7) on the campaign with links to articles on not only the Presidential race but congressional and gubernatorial races nationwide; of special interest are the ongoing
estimates drawn from tracking polls of the electoral college count (click on "political points"). Voteswap 2000 (8) allows Nader and Gore supporters in different states to
agree to "swap votes" and offers links to similar sites and Websites about the candidates and the Electoral College. [DC]
