Faviki - Social bookmarking tool using smart semantic Wikipedia (DBpedia) tags - 0 views

  •  
    Left to right: * triangular switch to close (hide detail) or open   — green switch for other user's bookmarks   — amber switch for your own bookmarks * favicon of the bookmarked item * username of the most recent networker * title of the bookmarked item   — font size a little greater than the norm * date or time of networking   — font size a little less than the norm + save + spam?   — these options appear when you curse over the date/time. When the bookmark is open, detail comprises: * highlight from the page * personal note * tags   — Common Tag   — as you curse over each one, its definition * popularity   — the number of people who have networked the bookmarked item + overview   — this option appears subtly when you curse over the number. Example Faviki overviews http://www.faviki.com/webpage/wave.google.com_28277 and http://www.faviki.com/webpage/esw.w3.org_12350 suggest that early adopters of Faviki may not make greatest use of highlights and notes, but that's a separate topic …

Désirs d'avenir, après avoir bien ri on peut maintenant pleurer. - Etienne Mi... - 2 views

  • qu'est qui fait un site laid (ou ringard) ? Cette question est bien sûr en relation avec le désormais tristement célèbre site web de Ségolène Royal desirsdavenir. com. 
  • On avait ce genre de site dans les années 1990, voici une capture d'écran du site de la maison blanche en 1995 (qui était tout de même, je vous rassure, super-ringard même à cette époque).
  • Quand on communique on utilise des codes, on peut jouer avec et même les détourner (c’est exprès mal dessiné, mais nous savons bien que je sais dessiner en vrai), et il existe toujours un contrat de lecture avec les internautes
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Ce site montre à ses lecteurs que l'équipe de désir d'avenirs ne possède aucune culture concernant le Web, ils sont incultes dans ce domaine et n’ont aucun humour (ce qui peut parfois sauver d'un très mauvais design). 
  • Et là, c'est impardonnable aux yeux des internautes
  • il s'agit du site de quelqu'un prétendant à la plus haute marche de nos institutions
  • Nous pourrions comparer ce paysage à celui de l’affiche de campagne de François Mitterrand en 1981.
  • kitsch, une accumulation de signes sans aucune significations
  • le fait de tout centrer nous ramène à des codes religieux ou très solennels nous donnant à penser que Ségolène se prend pour un messie
  • en opposition avec cette idée de démocratie participative
  • Ségolène Royal connaît parfaitement l'importance du choix des mots dans un discours, et bien pour les images c'est exactement la même chose
  • ce site est totalement raté du point de vue formel
  • on arrive à du non-design ou du design par défaut
  • On ne demande surtout pas à Ségolène Royal d’être à la pointe du design Web, mais de savoir s’entourer. Avec ce site, elle prouve le contraire et c’est terrible pour son image (surtout sur les plus jeunes).
  • aucuns crédits concernant le logiciel (Joomla), les auteurs, les designers, graphistes, intégrateurs, développeurs... ayant créé ce site, la seule mention :  Copyright © 2009 - Désirs d'avenir 
  • on se croirait chez l’Oréal ou chez Nike, ou l’on cache volontairement les auteurs... pourquoi ne pas mettre ce site sous Creative Commons et mettre la liste des contributeurs ? cela serait plus logique avec l’idée que je me fais de la démocratie participative.
  • une pensée pour les militants, qui je pense doivent être profondément attristés (et furieux) par les dégâts qu’a pu causer ce site

Does the Brain Like E-Books? - Room for Debate Blog - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • They should be like the historical coffeehouses, taverns and pubs where one shifts flexibly between focused and collective reading — much like opening a newspaper and debating it in a more socially networked version of the current New York Times Room for Debate.
    • Bakari Chavanu
       
      Many websites like NewsVine seem to offer this kind of experience.
  • Still, people read more slowly on screen, by as much as 20-30 percent. Fifteen or 20 years ago, electronic reading also impaired comprehension compared to paper, but those differences have faded in recent studies.
  • Reading on screen requires slightly more effort and thus is more tiring, but the differences are small and probably matter only for difficult tasks.

  • In one study, workers switched tasks about every three minutes and took over 23 minutes on average to return to a task. Frequent task switching costs time and interferes with the concentration needed to think deeply about what you read.
  • After many years of research on how the human brain learns to read, I came to an unsettlingly simple conclusion: We humans were never born to read. We learn to do so by an extraordinarily ingenuous ability to rearrange our “original parts” — like language and vision, both of which have genetic programs that unfold in fairly orderly fashion within any nurturant environment. Reading isn’t like that.
  • And that, of course, is the problem at hand. No one really knows the ultimate effects of an immersion in a digital medium on the young developing brain. We do know a great deal, however, about the formation of what we know as the expert reading brain that most of us possess to this point in history
  • Hypertext offers loads of advantages. If while reading online you come across the name “Antaeus” and forget your Greek mythology, a hyperlink will take you directly to an online source where you are reminded that he was the Libyan giant who fought Hercules. And if you’re prone to distraction, you can follow another link to find out his lineage, and on and on. That is the duality of hyperlinks. A hyperlink brings you to information faster but is also more of a distraction.
  • floor. I once counted my books among my most prized possesions, now I wish I could somehow convert them all to digital files.
  • My book shelves are full, and books are stacked on the
  • Textbooks also require big double pages with margins for notes. Writing and reading are communication between writer and reader, the audience and genre (and thus expectations) are important, and the format and technology can be used for bad or good. One is not better than the other, they are different, and the more we know of the needs of writers and readers the better technology will become.
  • All of the commentators and responses miss a crucial question here: reading for what purpose?
  • To further complicate this, most of what I read for pleasure is about art or photography, and the kind of history that comes with cool pictures. If paper suddenly disappeared I'd be lost. Most of what I read for work has to be verified, cross referenced, fact-checked, etc. on a tight deadline. If the Internet suddenly disappeared, I'd be more than lost--I'd be paralyzed.
  • I also completely disagree that the web has killed editing. It has just changed the process to include the reader. It would be more accurate to say that it is killing the sanctity of Editors. 'Bout time, that.
  • The missing component in E-Reading seems to be the ability to critically grasp and evaluate the material. Learning is transmitted, but it is more linear than holistic. Now in my 70's, I find that reading from a monitor is a distancing experience. There is an intimacy to reading from a traditional book that is missing in the digital format.
  • Chinese reading circuits require more visual memory than alphabets.
  • I assume that technology will soon start moving in the natural direction: integrating chips into books, not vice versa.
  • important ongoing change to reading itself in today’s online environment is the cheapening of the word.
  • Hypertext offers loads of advantages.
  • When you read news, or blogs or fiction, you are reading one document in a networked maze
  • More and more, studies are showing how adept young people are at multitasking. But the extent to which they can deeply engage with the online material is a question for further research.
  • However, displays have vastly improved since then, and now with high resolution monitors reading speed is no different than reading from paper.

Buy Google 5 Star Reviews - 100% Permanent, Best Quality - 0 views

  •  
    Introduction In essence, Google Verified Reviews are a mechanism for Google to confirm that the reviews that show up on a search results page are legitimate and not spam. Google accomplishes this by confirming the reviewer's identification and the fact that they actually have an account with the company they are evaluating. This verification procedure is intended to help raise the caliber of reviews that show up on Google and assist companies in gaining the trust of prospective clients. Buy Google Verified Reviews

    Buy Google 5 Star Reviews Introduction Google is the biggest search engine in the world, thus its views count for a lot. Because of this, companies ought to be concerned with Google 5 Star Reviews. Google uses five star reviews to guide users to the finest companies. A high rating indicates that Google users have had favorable experiences with the company. Google 5 Star Reviews are comparable to online word-of-mouth recommendations, in other words. How do they work? Customers can rate their interactions with a company on Google by leaving a review with a five-star rating. On Google Maps or Search, clients can give businesses a 5-star rating and review. Customers will conduct a Google search for a company and use the "Write a Review" button to offer a rating or review. Following that, clients will be given the option to rate their experience on a scale of 1 to 5 stars and to submit a brief review summarizing it. Buy Google 5 Star Reviews You have no control over what customers write in their reviews if you're a business owner. However, you have power over how you respond to reviews, which can demonstrate to prospective clients that you are concerned about their experiences.

Buy Yelp Reviews - 100% Real, Permanent, Reviews - 0 views

  •  
    Buy Yelp Reviews Introduction Yelp is the largest review site on the internet. It has over 400 million reviews and counting, and it's growing fast. You can find everything on Yelp: restaurants, shops, banks and even real estate agents! Most importantly though, you can buy Yelp reviews from RealServiceIT at the lowest price online! What is yelp? Yelp is a website that allows users to rate and review local businesses. It was founded in 2004 by two former PayPal employees, Jeremy Estoppel and Russel Simmons. The company has since grown into an American multinational corporation with more than 2 million reviews on its site alone, covering over 500 cities across the U.S., Canada and Mexico (and counting). Yelp claims to be the world's leading local guide for consumers looking for great local businesses at any point in time-from restaurants and coffee shops, pet services and dentists, garage sales or car repair services-to hotels & resorts; auto dealerships; beauty salons & spas; doctors offices & hospitals; mortgage companies etc.. How to buy Yelp reviews You can buy Yelp reviews from a review site. This is the most common way that businesses do it, because you don't need to spend money on content creation or pay people to write it for you. You'll probably want to choose an agency that has access to a lot of Yelpers and knows how they work, so they can find the right ones for your business' needs. The best agencies have access not only to all the current Yelps in their network but also those who were recently active (and therefore likely active again soon) as well as past customers who have left positive feedback about their experience at your business location(s). Why buy from a review site? Why buy from a review site? They're real. You know that person who has been giving you bad advice? There is no way they would do so if they were doing it out of the goodness of their heart, right? Well, that same logic applies here. If someone is giving you a bad
