LONDON (Reuters) - A Canadian publisher and philanthropist has launched a new social networking site for artists, underlining the growing influence of the Internet in showcasing and selling art.
Louise MacBain said the site, www.myartinfo.com, could be compared to popular networking site www.facebook.com, and allowed artists to showcase their work, chat with each other online and blog.
"The idea is that it becomes a global platform for people to go and show their art," said MacBain, a wealthy businesswoman who has invested heavily in the arts in Britain in recent years.
"With myartinfo people can post for free their art -- not only visual art, but performing arts, film, poetry, sculpture, fashion, architecture and design."
MacBain's company LTB Media has also re-launched www.artinfo.com, an online guide to art and culture, and a new Art Sales Index allowing users to access auction prices and other records for more than 200,000 artists |

De plantage doklaan is een collectief project waarin samenwerken en samenleven centraal staan. Werken en wonen is niet strict gescheiden. Materiaal, kennis en ideeën worden voortdurend uitgewisseld en getoetst. Kunst is een belangrijk resultaat van deze uitwisseling maar dit staat niet los van het pand als ontmoetingsplaats. De betrokkenheid van de plantage-dokgroep is ook maatschappelijk en politiek georiënteerd. De ongeveer dertig mensen die zich bijna dagelijks door het pand bewegen hebben uiteenlopende leeftijd en achtergrond. Ze delen eigenzinnigheid en gevoel voor het collectieve. Ze stellen hun denkbeelden graag ter discussie maar lijden vooral aan een gebrek aan zitvlees.

Why would someone send me this?
Then there came more and a little later it came by truckloads....
At that time it began to bother me, like everybody else and I started to throw it away, but halfway 2002 I started reading the silly mails I got. All kind of stuff was offered to me (100% or so from the U.S. notably) most of which I did not even know existed!
The subject headers alone were intriguing to say the least, not to mention the names of the senders.
The fun came when spammers started to change the words to try passing by clever SPAM filters.
Words like VIAGRA suddenly became V.I.A.G.R.A. or V1@gRa.
Texts like "Email Your Web Site to 27 MILLION PEOPLE".....
"Add inches with the pill", " Beef up the size of your Willy!" | | | | | | |
