It seems as if the first looser of the upcoming e-mail wars is dead: the „epost“ of the german postal company „Deutsche Post“ is going to shut its service down by 2005. They suggest their users a change to lycos. (via spiegel.de)

Well, german buerocracy at it´s best: lawyers now said, that webdesign isn´t of that high value in a copyright way, that it is allowed to take a design of a website, change the logo, and use it for your company. Beside that this is a stupid idea for every company, I can´t understand the government to let such things happen: every work you do with your creativity, with your brain has to be protected in a certain way by law. At least everybody should be able to decide on his own what should happen with his work. Should it be licensed under creative-commons? Ok, why not.

Everyone who has thought google might be a flash in time, and their days were counted, seem to be wrong. They have announced two steps into a new direction in two days: sms services and book-services – now they showed on web2.0 how search clustering is being developed in their labs – this is fantastic, because it shows, that google isn´t going to go for new business to develop, but to develop new businesses AND improving their main business which is just „SEARCH“. As I mentioned some days ago, I like clusty very much (clusty uses word-clustering techniques, too), but google will be able to better.
