  • CHAPTER 12 Making Your Web Site Mashable
    CHAPTER 12 Making Your Web Site Mashable This chapter is a guide to content producers who want to make their web sites friendly to mashups. That is, this chapter answers the question, how would you as a content producer make your digital content most effectively remixable and mashable to users and developers? Most of this book is addressed to creators of mashups who are therefore consumers of data and services. Why then should I shift in this chapter to addressing producers of data and services? Well, you have already seen aspects of APIs and web content that make it either easier or harder to remix, and you’ve seen what makes APIs easy and enjoyable to use. Showing content and data producers what would make life easier for consumers of their content provides useful guidance to service providers who might not be fully aware of what it’s like for consumers. The main audience for the book—as consumers (as opposed to producers) of services—should still find this chapter a helpful distillation of best practices for creating mashups. In some ways, this chapter is a review of Chapters 1–11 and a preview of Chapters 13–19. Chapters 1–11 prepared you for how to create mashups in general. I presented a lot of the technologies and showed how to build a reasonably sophisticated mashup with PHP and JavaScript as well as using mashup tools. Some of the discussion in this chapter will be amplified by in-depth discussions in Chapters 13–19. For example, I’ll refer to topics such as geoRSS, iCalendar, and microformats that I discuss in greater detail in those later chapters.

  • Juror Misconduct in the Digital Age
    GOOGLE, GADGETS, AND GUILT: JUROR MISCONDUCT IN THE DIGITAL AGE THADDEUS HOFFMEISTER* This Article begins by examining the traditional reasons for juror research. The Article then discusses how the Digital Age has created new rationales for juror research while simultaneously affording jurors greater opportunities to conduct such research. Next, the Article examines how technology has also altered juror-to-juror communications and juror-to-non-juror communications. Part I concludes by analyzing the reasons jurors violate court rules about discussing the case. In Part II, the Article explores possible steps to limit the negative impact of the Digital Age on juror research and communications. While no single solution or panacea exists for these problems, this Article focuses on several reform measures that could address and possibly reduce the detrimental effects of the Digital Age on jurors. The four remedies discussed in this Article are (1) penalizing jurors, (2) investigating jurors, (3) allowing jurors to ask questions, and (4) improving juror instructions. During the discussion on jury instructions, this Article analyzes two sets of jury instructions to see how well they adhere to the suggested changes proposed by this Article. This is followed by a draft model jury instruction. * Associate Professor of Law, University of Dayton School of Law. In addition to researching and writing on issues impacting jurors, the author edits a blog titled Juries. Prior to teaching, he served in the military, clerked for a federal judge, and worked on Capitol Hill. He earned his BA (French) from Morgan State University, JD from Northeastern University School of Law, and LLM from Georgetown University Law Center.
