1st-party versus 3rd-party cookies:It’s about being there.

Google Sidesteps Internet Explorer Cookie Settings
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/02/20/google-bypassing-user-privacy-settings.aspx
Windows Internet Explorer Engineering Team Blog:By default, IE blocks third-party cookies unless the site presents a P3P Compact Policy Statement indicating how the site will use the cookie and that the site’s use does not include tracking the user....For example, here is the P3P Compact Policy (CP) statement from Microsoft.com:P3P: CP="ALL IND DSP COR ADM CONo CUR CUSo IVAo IVDo PSA PSD TAI TELo OUR SAMo CNT COM INT NAV ONL PHY PRE PUR UNI"...Technically, Google utilizes a nuance in the P3P speci"cation that has the effect of bypassing user preferences about cookies.

Olivia Wong, Senior Account Executive, National Marketing at WGBH Educational Foundation:The real moment when we crossed over from a cult hit to a main-stream phenomenon was when we began to see celebrity devotee comments and all the fan mash-ups and tributes online. It suddenly went to another level.

Are Ebooks Trapping Libraries?
http://www.thedigitalshift.com/2012/02/ebooks/penguin-group-terminating-its-contract-with-overdrive/#comment-11143http://plablog.org/
Nate Hill (The PLA Blog):While I’m troubled by the many difficulties public libraries have lending ebooks, I’ve been focusing instead on the many examples of public libraries reconsidering their mission and becoming creative hubs for their communities.
There is a great opportunity there. The 20th century library was a monument to knowledge consumption, the 21st century library has the opportunity to devote half of its resources back to knowledge production.
