RSS est donc un format de fichier permettant à deux systèmes d’information de s’échanger des flux d’information structurée. En ce sens, RSS est une technologie, pas un service.

Yet we are trained to hold copyright as a natural right. People who infringe on copyright are labelled as pirates, thieves. We are told that they literally steal from hard-working creators.

Fourth myth: We know that copyright makes us collectively better off. The evidence points in the opposite direction. Germany had weak copyright laws up until the Copyright Act of 1901. Yet, maybe because of these weak laws, it became a literary and scientific power: (…), only 1,000 new works appeared annually in England at that time – 10 times fewer than in Germany – and this was not without consequences. Höffner believes it was the chronically weak book market that caused England, the colonial power, to fritter away its head start within the span of a century, while the underdeveloped agrarian state of Germany caught up rapidly, becoming an equally developed industrial nation by 1900.

Without copyright, authors would not get paid.

The NCAA’s popular March Madness basketball tournament is annually a cause of groans from know-it-all fans who think they they could have done a better job of picking its teams. But this year via Facebook, the NCAA is giving fans a chance to show that they could, indeed, make better selections.

Ramos said that the Super 10 is the NCAA’s first major Facebook contest, but that the “marriage of sports and social media is a really strong one because of all the fan excitement that surounds sports.”

Frequently referred to as crowdsourcing, and a darling of the Web 2.0 industry, it has recently come of age as the tools and marketplaces for on-demand work capacity on the network have expanded far beyond the early volunteer communities that originally proved out the concepts. These pioneers, which include the world of open source software and online services such as YouTube and Threadless, get most of their value from a large group of people or community through the simple use of an open invitation.

The reasons that a business would use crowdsourcing is varied. They include ability to offload peak demand, access to cheaper business inputs, generating better results, and tackling problems that would have been too difficult to do otherwise.

Social networks are flooded with potential customers.

A social business engages the entire company, from CEO to executive assistant. Take advantage of the opportunity to foster your company’s internal community and teach valuable social media skills as the space rapidly grows and evolves.

Les folksonomies peuvent constituer une alternative aux moteurs de recherche en permettant la construction de parcours et la mise en réseau d'informations mais aussi de personnes.

Pour beaucoup d’usagers, la recherche d’information est devenue synonyme de moteur de recherche voire de  « googlisation ». Cependant il existe désormais des alternatives à ce quasi monopole via notamment les folksonomies, mot composé par Thomas Vander Wal à partir de folk et de taxonomy et qui définit la possibilité offerte à l’usager d’ajouter des mots-clés à des ressources. Leurs stratégies de recherche diffèrent de la traditionnelle médiation des moteurs. Nous nous sommes interrogés sur la pertinence des folksonomies et leur intérêt réel dans le cas de la recherche d’information. En effet, la démarche « folksonomique » diffère de la simple requête et suppose d’autres habiletés. Cette analyse s’inscrit dans nos recherches sur les habiletés informationnelles ( information literacy ) Nos travaux sur ces nouveaux modes de partage et recherche d’informations s’appuient sur de nombreux tests des différentes plateformes permettant l’intégration de mots-clés qualifiés de tags. Nous nous sommes tout particulièrement ici appuyés sur les systèmes de partages de signets parfois appelés « marque-pages sociaux », voire signets sociaux (social bookmarks). Nous avons pu d’ailleurs constater que les différents sites d’intégration de favoris ont veillé à l’interopérabilité de leur système le plus souvent en utilisant le format xml. Une possibilité qui n’était pas offerte sur tous les sites il y a encore un an

Faut-il pour autant voir dans ces systèmes un concurrent  potentiel des moteurs ? Nous songeons plutôt à les considérer comme des alternatives au sens de cheminements de recherche différents qui nécessitent une construction et non une logique de push

It's time for brands to rethink their approach in social media.

55-percent of Facebook users reported liking a brand and then later deciding they no longer wish to see the company's posts.

In order to redesign social programs to deliver value to customers and avoid getting culled from a social stream, businesses will need a better understanding of consumer wants and expectations.
