    How interesting the Internet has been throughout the years. If I am correct, it started in December 1966, but for the mass public, it started in the early 1990s. Ever since then, how we have communicated has changed our lives completely. The Internet is not a fad anymore. Recently, socialize media is a fast and growing aspects of all our lives. I cannot wait to see what is next.

do you know where your password is? (delicious.com) - 0 views

  •  
    After months of work, the new Delicious is almost ready to come out of the oven. When we release it, you'll be automatically logged out of your account and will have to log in again, due to some changes we're making behind the scenes. That means now is a good time to make sure you know your username and password. Your username is what you see in the address bar when you visit your bookmarks (http://del.icio.us/your_username, soon to become http://delicious.com/your_username). And what's your password? If you don't remember, you can use our password reset tool to get a reset link delivered to the email address associated with your account.

SitePoint Blogs » In-browser Development Tools: Firebug Still King - 0 views

  •  
    At the start of this year, I sat down to write the "Errors and Debugging" chapter of Simply JavaScript. I cracked my fingers, dove into the landscape of JavaScript debugging tools, and emerged very disappointed several hours later. At the time, Firefox was the only browser with a JavaScript debugging tool worth writing about: Firebug. Less than a year later, the landscape has changed dramatically. Every major browser has introduced new development tools that make it easier to diagnose problems with your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code right inside the browser in question. But can any of these tools stack up against the slick and effortlessly powerful tools provided by Firebug? Let's take a look.

Creating accessible charts using canvas and jQuery | Filament Group, Inc. - 0 views

  •  
    Data visualization in HTML has long been tricky to achieve. Past solutions have involved non-standard plugins, proprietary behavior, and static images. But this has changed with the recent growth in support for the new HTML Canvas element, which provides a native drawing API that can be addressed with simple Javascript. This article is a proof of concept for visualizing HTML table data with the canvas element.

NetSquared, a project of TechSoup.org | remixing the web for social change - 0 views

  •  
    Our mission is to spur responsible adoption of social web tools by social benefit organizations. There's a whole new generation of online tools available - tools that make it easier than ever before to collaborate, share information and mobilize support. These tools include blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, podcasting, and more. Some people describe them as "Web 2.0"; we call them the social web, because their power comes from the relationships they enable.

Collective Unconscious - 0 views

      Great view about Collective Unconscious in the 2.0 world
  • “Never before have we had such amazing ways of delivering information through television, books, photographs, graphics, computers, video, multimedia, and the internet. Yet so many children are bored and have become less and less motivated to learn about and understand the world around them,”
  • Jung’s collective unconscious is the dreamtime of Homo sapiens. ‘Collective Unconscious 2.0’ is the dreamtime of late-era hypercapitalism. The energies that inform Jung’s collective unconscious are for the most part biological: instinctual drives of fear, hunger and sex (along with the drive for psychic wholeness). The energies that inform the ‘Collective Unconscious 2.0’ are more abstract, related to the movement of electronic capital and the maximization of profit to shareholders.

  • “These modules seek to penetrate, but in a passing way. A second of your attention is all they ask. Nothing is firing that rends or cuts. It’s a massage, really, if you just go with it. And why not? Some of the most talented people on the planet have devoted their lives to creating this psychic sauna, just for you.” Ersatz environments and colourful advertisements have been with us since the fifties, de Zengotita adds, but the multimedia blitz we experience now represents a whole new level of persuasion. “Saying that it’s just more of what we had before is like saying a hurricane is just more breeze.”
  • Today’s mass dream, split from the organic foundation of the world and cobbled together from shards of television shows, newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements, films, ad jingles, ringtones – the whole mad fantasy of what’s hip, what’s not, who’s in, who’s out and the international villain du jour – is the raw stuff of the ‘Collective Unconscious 2.0’.
  • Mainstream media culture currently has all the signs of full-blown psychosis. This is analogous to Jung’s shadow. Confronting the shadow is unpleasant on a personal level, but healing cannot be effected without being confronted with the truth – and as folk wisdom has it, the truth hurts. What is positive about this process is that we’re being forced to confront the very worst in the imaginal output of our great, untethered, free market economy.
  • We are, ultimately, the stories we tell each other of our past, present and future. We become what we seek. It’s up to us to rule the imagination or leave it in the hands of a select few to shape the future of the mass dream. As Buckminster Fuller once said, “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

Report and Recommendations on Web 2.0 and Social Software [Federal Knowledge Management... - 0 views

  •  
    The recent and dramatic growth of Web 2.0 and social software fundamentally changes the way that organizations must interact with information, and with those who produce, analyze, and consume that information. Government is no exception. The landscape of wikis, blogs, video sharing, and other social media has evolved and grown so rapidly that government policy has not kept up. The power of Web 2.0 and social software, if properly managed, can have a tremendously positive effect on the way the government interacts with the public, interacts with its employees, and conducts its own business.

Twitter helps Dell rake in sales | U.S. | Reuters - 0 views

  • Social media company Twitter is struggling to craft a profitable business model, but the Web-based service has helped Dell Inc chalk up millions of dollars in sales.
  • Dell said on Thursday it has raked in more than $3 million from Twitter followers who clicked through its posts to its Web sites to make purchases.
  • Three million in sales over two years is a pittance for Dell, ranked by IDC as the world's second-largest PC maker in the first quarter of 2009. Dell posted $12.3 billion of revenue in the first quarter of this year, alone.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Dell said it posts 6 to 10 times a week to its DellOutlet account, which is where the majority of Twitter-based sales have come from. Stephanie Nelson, who manages the account, said almost every post includes a coupon or a link to a sale, and about half of the posts are Twitter-exclusive deals.
  • Gartner analyst Allen Weiner said such financial success could provide a model for Twitter, itself, to make money.
  • Twitter does not charge companies for such benefits, but does not rule out doing so in the future.
  • Other non-media companies ranked in the Top 100 include Whole Foods Market Inc, Woot.com, Zappos.com, JetBlue Airways Corp.
  •  
    Dell's business model has high familiarity with twitter. But when twitter starts charging such PR activity, twitter will be ruined. Anyway, twitter is broaden the method of e-comers, which will change the corporate direct marketing. For those who are sick of spamming will give up using e-mail and start using twitter.

  • lessons about where the industry might go
  • Fair warning: this is a long post.
  • In 1969, the Justice Department, ADR, and several others filed antitrust suits
  • IBM agreed to stop bundling free software
  • disaggregation is a natural outcome
  • multiple companies can move faster
  • backlog of potential creativity
  • The OS is dissolving into a soup of resources distributed across both the network and the local device, with the application in the middle calling on both
  • what it lacks in beauty it more than makes up for in rate of change and versatility
  • hybrids of local and network resources
  • gradual evolution of a super-OS that includes both the network and the device
  • we don't have a name for this new thing
  • trouble talking about it
  • I'm calling it the "metaplatform"
  • Although the metaplatform isn't necessarily elegant
  • compatibility
  • technological advances always lead to value chain fragmentation
  • what happens if that company goes out of business or just decides to stop maintaining the product?
  • If you've incorporated external web services into your site, the site will break if any of those services stops working
  • We don't have any systematic ways to deal with problems like these
  • a business opportunity for the next crop of software entrepreneurs
  • What the metaplatform means
  • Much of the discussion in this post is pretty theoretical
  • practical implications
  • iPhone today gives (in my opinion) the best overall mobile browsing and app discovery experience
  • APIs that will enable other developers to extend
  • implementation is often off-target
  • trying to make their APIs into the business equivalent of an operating system
  • private ecosystem
  • opening the application outward
  • mixed and matched with other functionality in the metaplatform
  • export data isn’t enough... what springs to mind is open source
  • Lots to think about
  • Clayton Christensen
  • The most effective mobile application are
  • a framework to predict where most profits will be made
  • HTML5
  • changes that are brewing in the mobile industry

RGB LED Color Mixing - 0 views

  •  
    PWM dimming is typically the preferred dimming method, as the wavelength does not shift during dimming. The RGB mixing application is easier to control with PWM. Linear dimming is limited in RGB LED applications due to the wavelength shift caused by changes to the LED current during linear dimming.

    Returning to Faraday's experiment we concluded the current could be induced to flow in a coil surrounding a magnetic material where the magnetic field in that material was changing. More specifically, an electromotive force exists in the coil which causes current to flow.
