Ah there is something in the air with this week’s Five for Friday. Could it be the short work week? The snow on the ground?

Content providers will ramp up their ongoing efforts in response, attempting to protect their intellectual property by ensuring and receiving adequate compensation for its proper use. With the backing of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., even what has been considered “OK” under the Fair Use Defense (e.g., the use of a headline and extract) will come under assault. It is only a matter of time until the law catches up to all of the advances in SM and blog postings.

Top 10 Reasons Why Skydiving Is Like Social Media (part 2) – This is the conclusion to Alex’s comparison between two of his passions – Social Media and skydiving.
