La démocratie Internet selon Dominique Cardon Dans son dernier ouvrage, Dominique Cardon analyse la forme politique qui se dégage d'Internet. Le réseau ne permet pas seulement de communiquer davantage, il est la source d'un élargissement de l'espace public qui transforme la nature même de la démocratie. Sociologue au Laboratoire des usages d’Orange Labs et chercheur associé au Centre d’études des mouvements sociaux (EHESS), Dominique Cardon étudie attentivement les transformations de l’espace public résultant de la massification de l’usage des nouvelles technologies. Dans son dernier ouvrage, “La démocratie Internet, Promesses et limites”, il revient sur l’immense laboratoire politique à ciel ouvert que constitue Internet. En autorisant de nouveaux acteurs à prendre la parole, Internet suscite régulièrement les réactions outragées des habitués d’un espace public restreint et codifié. Ces principes avaient déjà été dégagés par l’auteur au long d’un essai intitulé “Vertus démocratiques de l’Internet” et publié sur la Vie des idées.
10 JavaScript Effects to Boost Your Website’s Fanciness Factor | There comes a point in time where we want to improve our website’s interface or provide a captivating experience that our users will remember. We have three main options (from hardest to easiest): write the scripts ourselves, use a JavaScript framework such as jQuery or mootools (which will make coding easier), use a pre-made script that works with existing JavaScript frameworks or that the author has developed from scratch. This article’s for the individuals who chooses to make things a bit easier and those who don’t want to re-invent the wheel. Here’s a collection of 10 powerful – yet easy-to-implement — JavaScript effects to supplement your web page’s interface.

Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On - by Tim O'Reilly and John Ba Five years ago, we launched a conference based on a simple idea, and that idea grew into a movement. The original Web 2.0 Conference (now the Web 2.0 Summit ) was designed to restore confidence in an industry that had lost its way after the dotcom bust. The Web was far from done, we argued. In fact, it was on its way to becoming a robust platform for a culture-changing generation of computer applications and services. In our first program, we asked why some companies survived the dotcom bust, while others had failed so miserably. Chief among our insights was that "the network as platform" means far more than just offering old applications via the network ("software as a service"); it means building applications that literally get better the more people use them, harnessing network effects not only to acquire users, but also to learn from them and build on their contributions. Ever since we first introduced the term "Web 2.0," people have been asking, "What’s next?"
Collaborative Thinking: Social Software: "Made By BEA" At the O'Reilly eTech conference (March 27), BEA introduced a collection of social computing products under the "Web 2.0" banner. BEA also revealed a new web site, en.terpri.se and a supporting blog. The product is expected to become available in mid-2007. The products relevant to my coverage are AquaLogic Pathways and AquaLogic Pages (see summary below). First Impression: From what I've seen so far, BEA appears to have done its homework to design these products with an enterprise environment in mind (e.g., security, integration). Concerns: BEA is not considered a major collaboration vendor. Market: This move puts BEA in direct competition with other large platform vendors such as IBM (Lotus Connections), Microsoft (SharePoint Products & Technologies which supports user profiles, blogs, wikis and social search, Knowledge Network which provides deeper support for expertise and social networking) and Oracle (WebCenter).

What Is Web 2.0 What Is Web 2.0 Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 7. Rich User Experiences As early as Pei Wei's Viola browser in 1992, the web was being used to deliver "applets" and other kinds of active content within the web browser. However, the potential of the web to deliver full scale applications didn't hit the mainstream till Google introduced Gmail, quickly followed by Google Maps, web based applications with rich user interfaces and PC-equivalent interactivity. "Ajax isn't a technology. AJAX is also a key component of Web 2.0 applications such as Flickr, now part of Yahoo! Interestingly, many of the capabilities now being explored have been around for many years. We expect to see many new web applications over the next few years, both truly novel applications, and rich web reimplementations of PC applications. It's easy to see how Web 2.0 will also remake the address book. A Web 2.0 word processor would support wiki-style collaborative editing, not just standalone documents.
The Growth of Social Software We the Media - 2. The Read-Write Web (by Dan Gillmor) Technology that Makes We the Media Possible I still remember the moment I saw a big piece of the future. It was mid-1999, and Dave Winer, founder of UserLand Software, had called to say there was something I had to see. He showed me a web page. I clicked the button. Winer’s company was a leader in a move that brought back to life the promise, too long unmet, that Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web, had wanted from the start. Writing on the Net wasn’t entirely new, of course. What Winer and the early blog pioneers had created was a breakthrough. Thus, the read/write Web was truly born again. About a year and a half later, on November 8, 2000, I was sitting at my desk at the University of Hong Kong where I teach part-time each fall. U.S. elections muddle that left Americans unsure for weeks who their next president would be. I found a National Public Radio streaming-audio feed and listened to it. The news is what we make of it, in more ways than one. It boils down to this. Weblogs 1. 2.
What Is Web 2.0 by Tim O'Reilly 09/30/2005 Oct. 2009: Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle answer the question of "What's next for Web 2.0?" in Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On. The bursting of the dot-com bubble in the fall of 2001 marked a turning point for the web. Many people concluded that the web was overhyped, when in fact bubbles and consequent shakeouts appear to be a common feature of all technological revolutions. Shakeouts typically mark the point at which an ascendant technology is ready to take its place at center stage. The concept of "Web 2.0" began with a conference brainstorming session between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. In the year and a half since, the term "Web 2.0" has clearly taken hold, with more than 9.5 million citations in Google. This article is an attempt to clarify just what we mean by Web 2.0. In our initial brainstorming, we formulated our sense of Web 2.0 by example: The list went on and on. 1. Netscape vs.
