Sharing Ideas on Creative Commons Business Models
Here’s an episode from a new three part online documentary film about the use of Creative Commons licenses and open source style business models in the publishing world.
In this segment John Buckman talks about his experience with Magnatune and Bookmooch.
Two areas Content Developers may find particularly interesting are John’s insights into scale and his concise breakdown of the freemium model.
Other segments in the doc series include a talk with Timo Hannay from Nature Magazine about bringing an open source philosophy to the publication of scientific journals and a visit with Tom Reynolds, a London Ambulance Service E.M.T. who shares his experience publishing his book Blood, Sweat and Tea and blog Random Acts of Reality.

Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Creg FieldingTxtWire has a web service that will return the cell phone carrier. Just pass it a phone number and it will tell you who the carrier is even if the phone number is ported from one carrier to another. Our database is updated daily so even numbers that are ported today report correctly tomorrow. If you would like a demo account call. We have several large corporations and online software vendors using the service. cfielding@txtwire.com http://www.txtwire.com Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Kyle2008
Great post DC. Very interesting approach to sending SMS. Is the source code for this actually available anywhere? Thanks! Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by JustUs1776
Great post. I'm a LAMP Developer and I was wondering if anyone has been able to build their own GSM server. That is, a server that can utilize a GSM modem to send direct, local messages to cell or IP phones. I'm working for a not-for-profit health care organization and have a suite of applications that I'd like to improve communication turn around time by sending SMS messages our nurses IP phones and our Physician's cell phones. I've found a ton of services that are all cost prohibitive and was hoping for an open source solution. Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Roy
My son's teacher would like to be able to send short text messages to students. I'm looking for a simple solution that would allow him to broadcast to 20-40 students a "reminder" about class info. This article looks very promising, but It appears to be server based. Can this type of program be modified to run run stand-a-lone, ie flash drive, desktop...? comment feed...
