Thursday January 04, 2007 "Java Get Powered" Now Easy
You may remember when Sun introduced the "Java Get Powered" button for people to use on their web sites, there was some criticism of the Byzantine process that was required to actually get to use it. I shared the view that the process needed fixing (as well as being grateful to the Sun blogger willing to criticise his employers for something deserving criticism).
I'm delighted to say that, after much soul-searching by Sun's lawyers, it's been fixed. No more quizzes, no more auto-responses with passwords, simply cut & paste the code to show your affinity for Java technology or direct your visitors to download the latest desktop Java. What's left is the minimum legal agreement that is feasible for a brand you actually want to protect. I'll be writing about brands and communities at some point since this is a subject that's widely misunderstood.
