Ontario Court of Appeal clarifies law of Internet defamation
Mondaq
The Ontario Court of Appeal released a decision with a number of important implications for the law of Internet defamation. In Shtaif v. Toronto Life Publishing, the court addressed the issues of how the limitation periods in Ontario's Libel and Slander Act apply to allegedly defamatory Internet publications, rejected applying the American "single publication rule" in Ontario, and clarified the circumstances when defamation and negligence claims can be brought concurrently.
Dave Meslin talks crowdsourcing in Australia
Young Street

It creates a role for you and I to play in fields that used to be exclusive to a small few," he says.

While most people in the U.S. still use traditional search engines such as Google to find what they're looking for online, users are increasingly discovering websites by way of social networks.
Microsoft and Oracle team up to offer cloud computing
The Globe and Mail
Microsoft and Oracle announced a tie-up to give the once-fierce rivals a leg up against newer Web-based cloud computing companies chipping away at their traditional businesses.
