On average, the Guardian's readers' editor receives at least two requests a week to delete one of them. This may not seem many but each is passionately argued, rarely casual. And the numbers are growing. Successive readers' editors have taken a pretty firm view on such requests – see Open doors passim – because the Guardian's archive is a historical record. If we gave way to every request to chip and change, the archive would resemble a bar of Aero, and readers couldn't trust it. European legislators are examining data legislation that would embody a "right to be forgotten" but ...

Ivan Oransky, 40, the new vice president and global editorial director of MedPage Today, the arm of Everyday Health Inc. aimed at delivering medical news directly to health care professionals. Dr. Oransky, previously on the editorial staff at Scientific American and The Scientist and most recently executive editor of Reuters Health, will develop strategies for new MedPage Today content. "I have news in my blood," said the Harvard biology and New York University medical-school graduate. "The opportunity to take MedPage to the next level is what drew me in. We want the health care providers we reach to help build—actually ...

But Patrick Keane, an investor and media executive, has flipped two companies for hundreds of millions of dollars. He sold Associated Content for ~$100 million to Yahoo in 2010 and he helped Bleacher Report sell to Turner for more than $210 million. What's his recipe for creating exceptionally valuable media brands? Keane says media startups need to have three boxes checked off. They need to have a mobile strategy, a global strategy and a video strategy. He also says they need tens of millions of monthly unique visitors and strong growth. He thinks having a lot of readers (30 or ...

As in other Kiip campaigns, users of the Yahoo Japan iPhone and Android apps will see "achievement ads" offering them rewards after completing certain activities. However, unlike most other Kiip campaigns, the rewards in this case will take the form of Yahoo's T-Points. In other words, Kiip is providing the technology for Yahoo Japan to bring T-Points from the web (where they are already available) to mobile.

Mail Beginning today, it’s easier to send files of any size when you’re on the go, with our new Dropbox integration in Yahoo! Mail for Android. In the app, start a new email, tap the attachment icon and choose “Share from Dropbox.” If you’ve already linked your Dropbox account, then you can start choosing files to share right away. If you don’t have an account, just sign up from within the app. Earlier this year, we worked with Dropbox to make it easier to send and receive large attachments in Yahoo! Mail on the web, and millions of you have ...

Mobile ad tech acquisitions aren't an altogether new trend. Google picked up mobile ad network AdMob in 2009, and Apple followed suit in buying rival ad net Quattro Wireless in 2010. But those deals were largely about being able to run ads on mobile. The recent spate is about getting closer to targeting mobile ads as though they were desktop ones. "Every ad tech company that's good at the web has to get good at mobile," said David Pakman, a partner at VC firm Venrock and investor in Media6Degrees. Continue reading at AdAge.com

"The internet is for porn" is a strange sort of conventional wisdom in that it's never quite been true. The internet has hosted porn for as long as it's hosted images, and it's made viewing porn both dramatically easier and infinitely more discreet. Yet the notion that the internet somehow orbits around porn is, and always has been, unlikely. But that's about to change. The relocation of a massive portion of the internet into walled, squeaky-clean social networks, as well as the large-scale redirection of attention from desktop computers to smartphones and tablets with pointedly smut-free app stores, has left ...

David Dinsmore tells them they will need to pay a monthly fee to access the site from that date, enabling them to become members of a club called Sun+ (a repeat of Times+). He promises them "a whole new world of digital entertainment from The Sun… along with some exciting new extras", adding: "We strongly believe it's fantastic value for money." Along with access to the paper's website, subscribers will get apps for their tablet and smartphones. But the real lure is obvious. Dinsmore writes: "You'll be the first to watch every Barclays Premier League goal on your phone or ...

One of my regular commenters in previous years, the irrepressible Chris Wheal, was given to reminding me of my blinkers about the sector's resilience. The sales minnows have thrived while bigger media sharks have suffered. Despite their relatively low sales (compared to consumer mags and daily papers), these niche magazines have tended to retain their audiences because they are required reading by the people they serve (and therefore by the advertisers who need to reach them). It is true that almost all recruitment ads, one key income stream, have moved to the net. But most B2B mags appear to have ...

We first saw news of the petition on The Daily Dot. Recently, Tumblr blocked users from searching for blogs posted under hashtag categories like #NSFW (Not Safe For Work), #Gay, #Porn, and so on. Also at play: Many in the Tumblr community are still upset Yahoo bought the blogging network, and see the blocked "NSFW" searches as the first sign of a big scary corporate entity noodling around with an established independent online community in order to make a few extra bucks. In a post on the company's staff blog, Tumblr CEO David Karp attempted to clear up why Tumblr ...

Could social media optimisation be the answer? Search engine optimisation (SEO) was always a flawed concept. At its worst, it means making web content less engaging for the reader but supposedly better for search robots and for the mysterious algorithms that determine the order in which results appear for a Google search. At its best, it means no more than following best practice in creating clear, accessible web sites with intelligible content, meaningful titles, descriptive "alt" attributes for image, no broken links, and the rest of what makes for a high-quality web destination. Now SEO is dying. A striking post ...

So he’s joining us now with four solid years at The Next Web, where he wrote about Microsoft, finance, tech policy and the broad range of startups that have helped defined this era. He’ll continue writing on those same topics, and will also be focusing on monetization on mobile, and the changing nature of online software business models. It’s worth adding that Alex has become a bit of a monster on Twitter, regularly pumping out a flood of at-replies to anyone who comes near… including to the official accounts of large content sites like The Huffington Post and Buzzfeed*.

When the new porn filter goes into effect, U.K. residents will not see relevant results when they search for porn using Google, Bing, or any of the other major Internet browsers. It's not clear how users will be alerted that their internet search has been censored. But there are at least three ways to get past the block. For one, those 18 years of age or older can contact their Internet service provider to opt-out of the ban. Though, "Extreme pornography," such as content that shows simulated rape, will be completely banned. Even though Internet service providers will by default ...
