==disambig or something else?==also is shit Should this page be a disambig? Or (somehow) expanded into an article?? Ewlyahoocom 02:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I think the article now should be about "Information as distinct from its mode or channel of presentation" with a see also at the bottom for the mathematical use of the term and satisfaction. Hyacinth 09:55, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
It seems like it should either be a very cut-down disambiguation page, or not a page at all. Most of the entries are either dictionary definitions or vague. The only valid ones seem to be Open content and Free content. -- Natalya 18:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with the reorganization of this article. It is completely contradictory to say on the one hand that content is information as distinct from its mode of presentation and then to day that there are things such as "open content," "Web content" and "free content." Either content from a publishing perspective is synonymous with information or it is not. It is my contention that it is not. The definition that I offered before seemed to address the distinction clearly:

"Information and experiences created by individuals, institutions and technologies to benefit audiences in venues that they value." Information without an audience is NOT content. The article on information is very erudite, but it does not even mention the word "publish" or "publishing" or "audience." User:Jblossom 19:00, 1 November 2006

[edit] The other meaning of content

Shouldn't there be a disambig page to this meaning of 'content' and the emotional meaning of 'content'? Fephisto 06:02, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
