This includes not just libraries but health, police, social care, volunteering, sustainability and inclusion, and local ... |

Last week we reported on the furore caused by the launch of Google Buzz. (See http://web.vivavip.com/forum/LiveWire/read.php?i=28000&start=0) Now European Union regulators have demanded that Google warns people before sending out its Street ... |
