Overview Doryx buy, Since the days of the Town crier, people have had a desire to know what's happening.

Unfortunately, Vibramycin medication, although channels for receiving the news have dramatically evolved, the broadcast methodology embraced by the first Town Crier is still is in the forefront.  As channels for collecting and delivering the news become IP-centric, however, vibramycin tablets, the platforms that deliver the news are converging with online communication platforms. Order vibramycin, New communications platforms like Twitter and Facebook are in a position to capitalize on this new world - disrupting the news as we know it. These platforms are becoming central in a world where news is becoming user-generated, real-time, vibramycin suspension, democratic, Vibramycin for cats, and conversational, and available everywhere.

User-generated

As the price and size of digital cameras, vibramycin drug, camcorders, Vibramycin syrup, and other portable devices decreases, the ability for the average user to generate media like photos, videos, vibramycin drug, text, Generic vibramycin, and audio is also dramatically increasing.   In particular the explosion of popularity of web-enabled, smart phones with multimedia capabilities has not only contributed to the creation of more media, but also the real-time availability of that content.  This leads us to the next facet of News 3.0, vibramycin medication.

Real-time

News 3.0 is real time.  The classic reporter is judged by their ability to deliver the scoop.  Now, everyone has the ability to do that.  For instance, Biz (co-founder) of Twitter told me a story about how Twitter users started delivering the news on an earthquake before the traditional outlets got the story.  In the current news model, reporters are alerted of happenings and rush to the scene to capture a formal report.  In the new world, the people that see the news and the people that report it are the same, doryx buy.

Democratic

Before social networks, Vibramycin doxycycline hyclate, news would travel virally via channels like email.  However, although email is a great delivery mechanism, there is no way for the best news to be surfaced to the top.  Enter the feed.  With platforms like Facebook and Twitter, vibramycin uses, word-of-mouth is not only automated, Doxycycline vibramycin, but it is also amplified via the feed.  Moreover, platforms like Digg take news inputs from individuals and enable the community to serve as editorial staff.  As the news 'breaks' through new online communication platforms, the best news rises to the top without centralized editing - the news is democratic, vibramycin suspension.

Conversational

Until recently, Vibramycin for cats, the networks for delivering the news were separate from the networks that enabled online communication.  If you saw a great news report on CNN, you would chat about it with friends via separate channels like the phone.  That's gone bye-bye.  A rudimentary example of the new world is blogging.  Blogs enable people (like me) to deliver news and people (like you) to comment and discuss.  Facebook and Twitter not only combine the delivery of news with the discussion, but also combine all these streams and enable a whole new information consumption experience.  The news is now an integrated part of the conversation, comprare vibramycin online.

Everywhere

Your desire for relevant and contextual information does not start and stop at the television screen.  IP-based delivery of video, Vibramycin chlamydia, along with the other forces above, are leading to a world where conversational news can be experience at multiple touch points such as at web sites, widgets, order vibramycin, the mobile, Vibramycin doxycycline, and the television screen.

Conclusion

Many major news organizations see the writing on the wall.  A few are proactively attempting to face this change.  CNN is a great example.   CNN has a web site, vibramycin tablets, widgets, mobile services, and a television network.  Moreover, they have actively been integration communications into all of these touch points.  In some instances, they have created homegrown services like iReport.  In other cases, they have delivered experiences using external services like Facebook Connect.  Although these moves are necessary for them to continue to be relevant in this brave new world, they are not sufficient.   Integrating with communications is just the first step.  The long run viability of traditional news organizations will be determined by their ability to remain in the center of a world where communications and news platforms are one in the same.

Death of the Portal.

March 31, 2007 at 6:16 pm · Filed under Uncategorized, aggregator, clearspring, socialnetworks, web3.0, widget, widgetmanagement

I gave a talk on this topic at AjaxWorld. Since I love to share, I decided to post about it. As I started to write a post, however, it started to get a wee bit long. So, like any hacker, I chopped it up. In this first post, I will discuss the death of the web portal. In the next installment, I will cover the emerging replacement for the traditional portal - the Social Aggregator. The resulting parts are still not exactly short, so chew slowly. ;) p.s. I blogged some of this on this post about the changing media landscape. The story of the Web Portal The value proposition of the web portal was simple - we aggregate content for you to consume. In return for this service, you will give us your attention which we will monetize via advertisements. This value proposition made some people a lot of money. Most notably a little company called Yahoo. The foundational assumption of the portal model is that the user is a passive consumer of content. This assumption was adopted from the print mediums that were the forebears to the original portals. This is no surprise, especially given that the business models surrounding the web (page view) were adaptations of print business models. This concept used to work well because: 1. Content and service creation was difficult. 2. Aggregating content and services was difficult. 3. Computing, storage and bandwidth was expensive. 4. Majority of users were not familiar with GUI affordances. Things have changed At the inception of the web, data was almost entirely unstructured (HTML) and web-based applications were static because of the synchronous nature of the get/post mechanism. That is no longer the case. Web services, microformats, and structured data formats are swiftly proliferating. The increased availability of structured data, coupled with the availability of XMLoverHTTP has given birth to a new programming technique - AJAX. With AJAX, the rich interaction once only possible in desktop programming environments, is now available in the web programming environment. So where does that leave the base assumptions that made the whole portal model work? 1. Content and service creation was difficult.

Any fool with a web-browser can blog, or edit photos. Everyday new tools come out as costs of content production continue to plummet.

2. Aggregating content and services was difficult.

No more. As data is exposed as web services, it is pretty easy to grab. Just ask Programmable Web.

3. Computing, storage and bandwidth was expensive.

No more grass-hoppa. If you don't believe me, maybe you believe your hero Tim.

4. Majority of users were not familiar with GUI affordances.

Facebook generation rulez. Teens do not remember life before web.

The stage is set for a new paradigm Things are ripe for change. The amount of content is exploding. User attention is staying the same. But, we have some new tricks available. So what's next? To find out, tune in for our next episode, "Birth of the Social Aggregator." This is Hooman Radfar, signing off. technorati tags: portal, widgify, web 1.0, web 2.0

Rise of Web 3.0

February 13, 2007 at 2:12 am · Filed under Uncategorized, semanticweb, web2.0, web3.0, webservices, widget

I try to keep tirades to a minimum. But tonight I felt inspired. So for those of you that hate long posts, I apologize in advance. For those of you, however, that like to wax philosophic about the web, stick around. One caveat, do not read this as saying that Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 trends are mutually exclusive. Or, that the beginning of Web 3.0 means Web 2.0 is all out of juice. On the contrary, I believe that we have not even seen the brunt of Web 2.0. For some other perspectives, check out posts by Tim and Tim. Much of the innovation on the web today has been loosely lumped under the term Web 2.0 – the meaning and significance of which has been hotly debated for over two years. Who remembers the debate on this now famous blog post? If you thumb through the comments you might see some familiar names (devilish smile). As if this was not enough to chew on, a new term – Web 3.0 – has recently emerged. Tim O'Reilly must be having a field day. Oh the conferences he will have.... Although these terms have helped to reignite the spirit of the web, they are not exactly effective at capturing the fundamental changes occurring in the digital world. So what exactly is going on? Web 1.0 --> Web 2.0 [publication mechanism to platform for services] The primary disruption associated with the DOT-COM boom, retroactively labeled Web 1.0, was the shift from traditional print publication mechanisms to the web as a pervasive publication mechanism. The Web 2.0 is the next step in this progression. Specifically, it is the transformation of the web from a publication mechanism into a platform for decoupled online services. Data and applications are quickly being atomized into reusable components that can be mixed and match to create new services. There is a shift from unstructured data (HTML) to structured data (web services/RSS/microformats). Developers are experiencing this change via the increased proliferation of web services in formats such as RSS, REST, and XML-RPC. Developers are not the only ones benefiting from this change, however. Just as developers can mix and match web services to create new types of applications, tools are emerging for non-technical users to customize their web experiences – Widgets. If you are a widget dork, skip this paragraph… Widgets are mini-applications that encapsulate web services via graphical components such as slideshows, videos, games, and more. Want your blog readers to know about the stocks you are watching? Grab a Yahoo Finance Badge. Want your friends on MySpace to know what the tour schedule is for your favorite band? Grab a ReverbNation Tour Map Widget. Widgets are the web ala carte. And these little apps are being used to build increasingly customized experiences on StartPages, Social Networks, Blogs and other online content aggregation platforms. And – as it happens – these platforms are embracing this change with open arms. Typepad and Blogger have opened up their sidebar to Widget Developers. Tagworld introduced a Widget gallery. And the list goes on and on… Web 2.0 --> Web 3.0 [Atomic services to integrated experience] So the theme of Web 2.0 is atomization. If Web 2.0 is about atomization, then Web 3.0 will be all about integrated experiences in a world of atomic content and services. As the web continues to become disaggregated, there will be a burgeoning demand for tools that can help users effectively leverage these “information atoms,” together in a meaningful manner. Not only will there be a need for tools that help users aggregate widgets, but also tools that enable widgets to work together. Imagine a world where there are as many widgets as there are web pages. Won't it suck royally if they don't work together? Tools like Netvibes, Pageflakes, and Uber represent the next generation of content aggregation platforms. Marc Canter has dubbed these tools as Digital Lifestyle Aggregators, or DLAs. DLAs will enable users to manage their content and services across platforms (desktop, web, mobile) and even across social networks. But what about inter-widget communication? Isn't that part of that whole Semantic Web nonsense? Isn't that impossible? Nope. It Begins (again)… You all might have noticed the recent buzz around Yahoo’s new product, Pipes. Some folks even emailed me and asked me why I did not post about it. Well, I am getting to it!! :) Anyway, this new product is the first step towards the Holy Grail of programming – enabling non-programmers to program. According to Yahoo:

Pipes is a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment. The name of the service pays tribute to Unix pipes, which let programmers do astonishingly clever things by making it easy to chain simple utilities together on the command line.

Now, let's be serious. Pipes is not for mom and dad. That being said, it is a great first step. And, as always, there are others that are hard at work on similar projects. YubNub has embraced the whole notion of piped web services with their command line utility for a long time. Netvibes is quietly developing what they dub the “Universal API for Widgets.” Dapper, the data mapper, enables users to scrape HTTP web services to create new services. And let's not forget Teqlo quietly creating an alpha version of a graphical web service integration tool. I could go on, and on...but you are all smart cookies. Sufficed to say it looks like we have just seen the beginning. How silly do those foolish people that dismissed Web 2.0 feel now? Enough insomnia-driven, future-casting, rabble rousing, blabbering for this geek. Later web-slingers. technorati tags: web2.0, web3.0, web services, widgets, integration, semweb, pipes
