We’ve chosen to set up the Sloan Center for Internet Retailing Web site at the University of California, Riverside, using Wordpress blogging software. Why? From 1994 to 2006, we’ve maintained a series of websites for our research centers - Project 2000, eLab, and the Sloan Center for Internet Retailing - at Vanderbilt University. Tools for implementing these websites ranged from hand-coded html on a Unix server back in 1994, to Frontpage, to Dreamweaver and ColdFusion.

The Cyberporn Debate.
The July 3, 1995 Time magazine cover story on “Cyberporn” by Philip Elmer-Dewitt , is based on its exclusive access to Marty Rimm’s Georgetown Law Journal paper, “Marketing Pornography on the Information Superhighway .” Already, the Rimm study and the Time cover story are providing ammunition for conservative special interest groups, lobbyists, and elected officials. However, as documented in the series of critiques which follow, both the Rimm study and the Time cover story contain serious conceptual, logical, and methodological flaws and errors. These flaws and errors are sufficiently severe that neither the Rimm study nor the Time cover story should be taken seriously by policy makers considering issues involving the Internet and the so-called “Information Superhighway.”
