 Public Policy Congress considers data security/breach notification legislation Share    
The issue of protecting consumer information has risen in prominence among lawmakers in recent months. So far, members of Congress have introduced seven data security/breach notification bills and 10 bills to protect consumer privacy. The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade held a markup of Chairwoman Mary Bono Mack's SAFE Data Act (HR 2577) on July 20, passing the amended bill by voice vote. A markup by the full House Energy and Commerce Committee has not yet been scheduled. While NAA supports reasonable data security/breach notification legislation, we prefer industry self-regulation to protect consumer privacy. More

How Twitter is easing users into seeing advertising The Atlantic Wire Share
Twitter's newest foray into ads seems more like a step one than a final product, primarily because many people won't notice a difference at all. Users will only see ad tweets if they use Twitter's website, and even then, it will be only from brands they already follow. "Promoted Tweets" will only show up when users view their feed in a browser. The ads will also move down feeds as new tweets arrive.

Duo works to ensure iPad app is a standout Straits Times Share
Straits Times mobile editor Zuraimie Ismail, 40, has been selling what he describes jokingly as koyok (Malay for quack medicine) since he joined the Singapore paper's website in June 2008. After all, he initiated plans for the paper's multimedia news portal RazorTV and the ST iPhone app. But nothing was quite like the challenge of selling to top management the idea of putting the entire newspaper on the Apple iPad tablet — before the device was even released.
