l'area annunci economici del sito de il Sole 24 Ore:
- di default dà la categoria 35 - Case Affitto, in cui è possibile cercare per località (come i motori di questo settore), peccato che ci sia un solo immobile, e che per trovarlo non basti cliccare sulla freccia senza inserire altri parametri di ricerca, ma bisogni cliccare sulla categoria in alto
- di default la data degli annunci è quella del giorno in cui si accede (???)
- per elencarli tutti, in questo momento: cat.35 Case Affitto: 1; cat.34 Case Vendita: 1; cat.38 Immobili Affitto: 5 (in due pagine...); cat.37 Immobili Vendita: 5 (sempre su due pagine...); cat.41 Località Turistiche: 1; cat.08 Consulenza - Outsourcing: 1; cat.02 Finanziamenti Compravendita Aziendale: 53 (in 18 pagine, senza la possibilità di visualizzarli diversamente, e tutti in data 4 novembre 2007, domenica, strano...); cat.24 Offerte Impiego: 1; cat.39 Professionisti: 5
- si possono cercare annunci anche in date successive a quella odierna, fino al 31.12.2041 (!!!)
- tutte le altre categorie sono a 0 (zero) annunci, e cioè: Viaggi Vancanze - Agriturismo; Domande Impiego; Formazione - Stage - Offerte; Rappresentanza Offerte - Franchising; Auto - Moto - Nautica; Aziende Forniture - Servizi - Applicazioni Web; Finanza - Leasing - Assicurazioni; Trasporti - Noleggio; Arte - Mostre - Antiquariato; Cinema - Teatro - Musica; Eventi - Fiere - Convegni; Varie; Necrologie
- ma vale la pena di mantenere online una cosa del genere?

Governance and Information Technology: From Electronic Government to Information Government
by Viktor Mayer-Schönberger (Editor), David Lazer (Editor)
352 pages, The MIT Press >>>
Review
"So you thought information technology in the form of 'e-government' would save taxpayer dollars, improve government performance, increase transparency and accountability, and promote democratic participation--and all in a hurry too? Some first-rate scholars of the subject show how the several truths about these matters are much more complicated, and the reasons for them sometimes paradoxical."--Eugene Bardach, Department of Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley Book
Description
Developments in information and communication technology and networked computing over the past two decades have given rise to the notion of electronic government, most commonly used to refer to the delivery of public services over the Internet. This volume argues for a shift from the narrow focus of "electronic government" on technology and transactions to the broader perspective of information government--the information flows within the public sector, between the public sector and citizens, and among citizens--as a way to understand the changing nature of governing and governance in an information society. The chapters discuss the interplay between recent technological developments and evolving information flows, and the implications of different information flows for efficiency, political mobilization, and democratic accountability. The chapters are accompanied by short case studies from around the world, which cover such topics as electronic government efforts in Singapore and Switzerland, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's effort to solicit input on planned regulations over the Internet, and online activism "cyberprotesting" globalization.
Contributors: Robert D. Behn, Maria Christina Binz-Scharf, Herbert Burkert, Lorenzo Cantoni, Cary Coglianese, Martin J. Eppler, Jane E. Fountain, Monique Girard, Åke Grönlund, Matthew Hindman, Edwin Lau, David Lazer, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, Ines Mergel, Gopal Raman, David Stark, Sandor Vegh, and Darrell M. West.
