Two very compelling recent developments are the adoption of Flash video and Both Flash and DHTML have been around for a long time. It seems that over the past year these two technologies are really taking a big jump. One is standards based. One is proprietary. One has weak developer tools. One has strong content tools. Both have relative ubiquity. A key question for me is what factors govern the decision framework for making a bet on these technologies. How do developers and content creators “do the math” to decide that the power and customer value of the experiences they can create are worth the cost of development, page load time, test hit, etc. to make a bet on these? For the .NET Framework, the story has several dimensions. For server side programming, and websites in particular, there seems to be about an even trade off between PHP or JSP and ASP.NET. This is pretty clear with the rate of new site development on ASP.NET and the options you get today from hosting companies. Client side targeting is another part of the story. Right now web sites with hosted Windows Form controls are rare and corporate IT team do actively write .NET Framework applications. Consumer penetration is actually quite good with estimates of 55-60% of all desktops today have the .NET Framework 1.1. There are a lot of shareware/freeware apps now starting to take a bet on the .NET Framework. I personally suspect this is because of the great tools and the speed of development. So, how does your team approach this area? When do you decide to take a technology dependency? What a key factors for you? read more: Infotec Business Systems, Inc.

De la part des analystes myopes et des journalistes, les blogs ont eu une perception erronnée. Perçus comme'une' catégorie générique de ressourcesinutiles en ligne, créant plus de bruit que quiconque etrestant complètement renfermés sur eux-mêmesdans une boucle d'auto-référentialité.
Les blogs sont des morceaux de papiers numériques etleurs usages et applications sont illimités. Ce n'est pas la technologie du blog qui déterminel'utilité du contenu généré. Les blogs sont devenus un raccourci pourdésigner la publication personnelle et lesmini-systèmes de gestion de contenu qui facilitentgrandement l'écriture en direct et la publication denouvelles et d'actualité par quiconque. Il existe de grands reporters et 'journalistes' enligne qui utilisent de tels blogs pour y publier des pointsde vues très valables et des reportages de nouvelles demanière systématique. Je pourrais difficilement moi-même faire de mêmeavec quelques-uns de ces 'bloggers' parce qu'ils sont mes propressources d'informations et des références quirenvoient vers des thématiques clés que j'aimeà suivre.

Je 'sponsorise' moi-même et supporte un trio de troisreporters d'actualité indépendants qui travaillentparticulièrement sur les comptes-rendus et reportages desolutions alternatives sur les domaines de la santé, de l'énergie et de la vente de contenu. Ils produisent un tel bon travail decompte-rendu que je m'intéresse en ce moment au sujet de laliberté personnelle et des questions de santé qui vont dépendre de moi-même sur la production de leurs actualités personnelles : HealthSupreme par Joseph Hasslberger Share TheWealth par Chris Gupta GrilloParlante (en Italien) par Ivan Ingrilli Ce sont tous de grands leaders d'opinions, experts dansplusieurs domaines et des êtres humains très connectés en réseau. En suivant leurs fils de nouvelles RSS sur leurs blogs, je peux tracer non seulement leurs points de vue sur ce qui se passe. Mais je peux aussi éviter d'avoir à faire quelque effort de recherchesur les méta-filtres personnels qu'ils pratiquent contre la surcharge des informations disponibles sur les secteurs média/technologie/apprentissage. Je ne suis pas en train d'avancer qu'ils sont les 'meilleurs'.Je dis simplement que je les ai sélectionnés comme mes sources préférées d'informations pour tous les thèmes qui m'intéressent professionnellement. Byte Depuis quelques années, ces magazinesprofessionnels étaient mon pain quotidien. J'en ai encore conservé une grande collection et en aiextrait de grandes parties d'informations utiles quand l'Internetn'était pas ce qu'il est aujourd'hui. Je n'achète plus aucun de ces magazines,même si je garde de bons souvenirs de l'époque où je parcourais leurs pages. Pour la plupart de l'information et des points de vues aveclesquels je suis amené à travailler, je n'ai plus besoin de lire de magazines professionnels et de publications spécialisés. J'adore vraiment lire et sentir leurs maquettes entre les mains, mais la vérité est que c'est en train de devenir une forme de chose vraiment'agréable à avoir'. Il n'y a plus UN magazine spécialisé dont jene pourrais me passer aujourd'hui ! Les actualitésà propos des technologies, les talents et ressourcesà propos de ce que j'écris sont toutes à uneportée de clic.
Bientôt, plutôt que plus tard, il va se passerquelque chose, Non seulement, ce sera aussi :
Et qui disait qu'en réfléchissant, discutant et révisant des histoires d'actualités à partir de différentes perspectives vous n'obtenez pas une plus grande audience vers la réalité et une plusgrand choix d'options que ne pouvaient l'offrir les grandsmédias. Les blogs sont un mécanisme de filtragecollectif utile qui nous permettent d'extraire ce quiest pertinent à partir de tout ce flux croissantd'information qui vient à nous. C'est un futur de grandes opportunités, onpourrait dire, au moment où l'on réalise que cefutur est en train d'arriver maintenant.

Readers of my latest Art News Artblog have asked me to write about how I got a relatively good presence on the internet. Yesterday's statistics: 150,000 hits on Google.com and 100,000 hits on Yahoo.com on the search term "lonvig" and 64,708 hits and 1,176,552,123 bytes transferred per day on my web site www.lonvig.dk. John Wooton: As you know, every year is always rocked by a plethora of changes in the search engine marketing world. The acquisition of smaller companies by the Big 3 changes the marketing landscape as we know it every month and with every update to the index that is made, we hold our breath and hope that we come out better (if not, the same) in the end. So when it comes to the new year, there are many things that we should look out for to stay on top of the rankings. 1. Quality Content: I say this so often and I cannot overemphasize this enough: Content is KING! Search engine spiders, crawl the net to find what? Content! Your site has information (hopefully) that you want the spiders to see and include in their index. By the creation and publication of quality content, you give the search engines more reason to return. You are feeding them what they want. In 2006, you should be finding creative ways to get your content noticed and viewed as well as finding creative ways to publish fresh content on a regular basis. A very good way this is done is through the use of message boards (hosted on your site) and by blogs (enabling you to publish more frequently). Asbjorn Lonvig:  Tell a story. Every time I enter something on the internet, on my own website or another web site like an online gallery I tell a story. Like what Jose Dali said about my fairy tale character Crab-Mac-Claw or Alice Garibaldi's view of my computer drafts of sculptures in Rome. For search engine optimization and submission to selected search engines I use the software IBP Internet Business Promoter by Axandra, Germany. For check of meta tags I use the free Meta Tag Analyzer from Submitexpress.com. This is to ensure 100 % title relevancy to page content, 100 % description relevancy to page content and 100 % keyword relevancy to page content.  Don't focus on your web main page (index page) - focus on every page, only 1.56 % of my visitors enter through the web main page.__________________ John Wooton: 2. Don't Overextend Your Link Exchange Structure: Backlinks were a popular way to increase your rankings fast in the search engines. The tradition holds: find a PR7 website and trade backlinks and you'll be indexed in Google within 24 hours. That strategy still holds true and is beneficial for new web sites. But in my opinion the days of tremendous link swapping are coming to an end. Many website have been founded with the purpose of allowing you to exchange links with other web sites. This has caused a massive influx of web masters who want to exchange a ton of links with the hope that it will help them in the search engines. But what really matters when it comes to links is the amount of quality one way backlinks that direct users to your website. You want the balance of links to be in your favor, that is what leads to success. Also, there has been talk of search engines taking notice of these "link farms" and penalizing those who take part in them. So if you do take part in link exchanges, please be moderate in respect to the number of exchanges you take part in. Asbjorn Lonvig:  I do not concentrate upon links any more. I only make links that are relevant to my content. If I am asked to link to a Kangaroo farm in Canberra, New South Wales, Australia, I sure will do it. Now and then I run a Link Popularity Check on my online galleries to check their degree of presence on the internet. The Link Popularity Check program is free and it is from Axandra, Germany. Absolutearts.com has the highest link popularity of all online galleries.__________________ John Wooton: 3. RSS and XML: Two new technologies that have begun to take center stage especially in 2005 include a programming language that has been around for several years called XML. XML is short for extensible markup language and is a derivative from HTML. The main difference is your ability to create descriptive tags for your data. This has led to the advent of RSS or real simple syndication. RSS is a way for you to publish your data to an XML file hosted on your site. Users subscribe to your RSS feed via the XML file and whenever you make a changes to your XML file they are notified. It's become a major technology used by news agencies and bloggers alike as a simple method of publishing your information across a wide variety of platforms. XML has also proved useful with the Google Site maps program, newly released in 2005. The optional tags available with the XML site map allow you to be descriptive about the individual pages on your site including dates the individual pages were modified. There are some small things you need to pay attention to when creating this: namely you have to follow the Google xml schema, and you have to be diligent about tracking and fixing errors in the code. But if used correctly, it is a great way to help Google index the hidden pages of your website due to javascript or flash. Asbjorn Lonvig:  I have made an RSS to all main pages on my web site and an RSS to every online gallery. I use the FeedForAll RSS feed creation tool to built my own RSSs. This way I have built 73 "hand made" RSSs. I use the following blogging systems for posting a lot of news and for automatic building of RSSs, ATOM feeds and RDFs: Blogger.com, Blogger.dk, Blog.com, Bloglines.com, Spaces.msn.com, Squarespace.com, Angelfire.com and Artday.org. Artday.org is Japanese. It is from Tokyo. And so is the image to the left. It's the Tokyo skyline with Tokyo Tower. The title is "Tokyo Moonlight". All of the above RSSs, ATOM feeds and RDFs - both my own "hand made" RSSs and the RSSs, ATOM feeds and RDFs generated automatically by blogging systems - are submitted to selected directories and search engines with the software RSS FEEDS Submit from rssfeedssubmit.com - if you need an introduction to RSS news feeds, you'll find it on rssfeedssubmit.com. I have built one site map in English and one in Danish. ___________________ John Wooton: 4. Stay away from Flash and Javascript for the time being: Flash and Javascript are very powerful tools for creating dynamic and eye catching web sites. The most prominent problem with the two technologies is that the spiders can't index through them (at least not yet). This limits your ability to have the search engines index portions of your site. Many have speculated that the Big 3 are working on solving this problem, but for the time being, avoid or limit your use of these technologies. 5. Avoid Unethical SEO: There are a lot of programs out there that help you to achieve maximum link back ratios in a very short amount of time. Some of them are good; some are bad. In fact, some of them will waste your effort trying to post trivial comments on blogs or trying to maximize your link exchanges. In my opinion, you should seek success in SEM the right, ethical way. Seek out honest web companies to exchange a moderate amount of links with. Post only relevant comments to forums and blogs because that behavior leads to lasting link backs. Also, don't try to manipulate your website to make it appear to have a higher PR than you really do. Google sees that one! Asbjorn Lonvig:  I stay away from Flash and..... I stay away from unethical SEO. _____________________ John Wooton: 6. Last, but not least, Articles: There is a little bit of controversial talk about whether it is right to post articles for free use in directories. In my opinion, you are providing a well needed service to web masters and I don't see this one as a potential loss for 2006. Information is valuable. And web sites that need content (especially fresh content) desire what you do to make their efforts a success. So it is natural for your web site rankings to benefit through backlinks from those articles. It's a win win situation. One other thought on this subject. Right now, the search engines can punish web sites for having duplicate content, and that is an argument that many will propose. But, the search engines will usually only punish you if the html format of a web site is similar, not a couple of articles. So posting articles is safe for now. But be cautious. Many lucrative methods of ethical SEO can be turned into a problem when too many people attempt to abuse the technology. So that's it. Short, but informative. SEO is both an art and a technology that we have to use correctly for the right type of success. Who knows what the year ahead may bring, but playing your cards right, you can achieve success and avoid any pitfalls that may come. Asbjorn Lonvig:  This Art News Artblog article is an example of Articles. I write articles to as you know WWAR/Absolutearts, to Editorial Qroquis - a printed art magazine in Buenos Aires (translated into Spanish) and ADN World ArtNews in Tokyo. Furthermore my articles are published on selected RSSes of my own, on all the blogging systems mentioned above and on the online gallery ArtCad.com in Paris. To keep track of the effect of my efforts to have a relatively good internet presence I use a server based statistic system on my web hotel called InSite. I use Google Alerts to continuously inform me what new things of mine have been indexed. Occasionally I check presence on Yahoo.com. And then I check the online galleries. January 2006 WWAR/Absolutearts topped with 73,000 hits followed by ArtWanted in Salt Lake City with 21,000 hits. Other online galleries like Yessy.com in Denver Colorado had 17,000 hits and a new online galley in Paris - ArtPourTous - had reached 4000 visitors. "Grand Maitre" to the right - that is Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec - is of course exhibited in Paris. I'm working hard to produce decent traffic on all online galleries. __________________ Asbjorn Lonvig: Thoughts. Your sales has nothing to do with your artistic talent, with your exhibition at Chicago Athenaeum or with nice words written about your art in a French book on "How to communicate through pictures". It's all about your internet presence??? Thanks. I want to thank John Wooton Author and Creator, The SEO Journal Blog for permitting me to use his article "Search Engine Strategies for Success: 2006", which I read 5 January 2006 in Entireweb Newsletter.

Mais la roue tourne et le blog n'est plus le seul domaine réservé des programmeurs et autres 'geeks sociaux'. Le business blogging se développe à une vitesse fulgurante et sort enfin outre-atlantique de son carcan d'adolescents et de techniciens !Le mouvement est amorcé. Avec une estimation de 3 millions de blogs dans la blogosphère, plus de 10 000 blogs qui se créent quotidiennement, la récente arrivée des employés de Microsoft qui se transforment en porte-parole de la marque, la question n'est plus de savoir si l'entreprise doit bloguer ou ne pas bloguer, mais désormais de traiter le Comment Faire. Et en ce sens, les ressources pédagogiques issues tant des journalistes que des professionnels des relations publiques deviennent de plus en plus nombreuses et accessibles en ligne, prônant toutes l'honnêteté et l'intégrité. Les blogs : nouveau phénomène marketing de l'internet ?Cet article d'Information Week paru le 5 juillet 2004 délivre quelques clés et conseils sur les défis à relever pour votre société. L'auteur met l'accent sur la qualité et la pertinence du contenu pour gagner cette bataille qui se joue sur le long terme. Signalons aussi PSFK (un weblog) ravi de voir le monde des affaires se pencher sur le phénomène et publier à nouveau un guide bien construit sur le panorama du business blogging : 'How To' Guide for Business Blogging. Bien structuré et nourri d'exemples et d'erreurs à éviter, n'hésitez pas à le télécharger. Hier c'était au tour du RedHerring d'y aller de son couplet avec un article titré 'How to build buzz on the blogs'. Une mise en garde pour les entrepreneurs qui ne verraient dans le weblog qu'une opportunité de se faire de la publicité à bon compte. L'auteur nous rappelle à juste titre qu'un weblog ne peut être construit uniquement pour faire de la publicité. Et que vous les aimiez ou que vous les haissiez, les weblogs peuvent vous aider dans votre stratégie marketing. L'argument restreignant le champ d'activité aux seules entreprises proche des technologies reste néanmoins plus discutable. L'auteur de l'article émet quelques recommandations pertinentes pour bien partir :
Et en Francophonie ?Malgré son développement fulgurant auprès des adolescents (forte contribution de SkyRock avec ses Skyblogs), le weblog reste encore jusqu'à preuve du contraire un outil très peu usité par les entrepreneurs francophones. Les articles de presse professionnelle communication sont rares. Et ne comptons pas trop sur les grands réseaux publicitaires et la vieille garde française des sociétés de relations publiques pour prescrire du weblog. La démarche est exigeante, longue et à faible rentabilité à court terme. Elle s'apparente plus à de la conduite du changement. Et à la limite de ce que j'ai pu pratiquer, les publicitaires ont toujours su se distinguer par une forte inertie à innover sur les micro-médias ? A mon humble opinion, je pense qu'il est encore inutile de compter sur leur potentiel de prescription à court terme. Et pourtant, ce n'est plus de l'anticipation mais bien une réalité : les marchés deviennent des conversations mondiales... vous racontera Doc Searls co-auteur du manifeste des évidences revenu sur mon bureau depuis une semaine. Poursuivons l'activisme !Les intéressés par le développement du business-blog francophone ont tout simplement intérêt à avancer ensemble en coopétition pour poursuivre l'éducation et l'ouverture de ce marché naissant. Et surtout raconter nos trouvailles et histoires vécues à d'autres publics que des informaticiens ! Le business blog n'est plus un problème d'outil. A cette heure, le weblog n'est plus un problème d'informatique. Les outils sont fiables. Le défi est un défi humain et un défi de communication. Ciblons donc nos publics en portant la 'bonne parole' aux chefs d'entreprises, responsables marketing-communication et toutes les autres catégories de prescripteurs proches des communicants... D'après quelques observations personnelles sur le développement du phénomène outre-atlantique, l'inertie est énorme entre la sensibilisation et l'adoption par les chefs d'entreprises. Aussi à nous tous de poursuivre nos efforts. Continuons à bloguer (parler sur le web), racontons nos expériences réussies de business blogging, publions des guides méthodologiques et construisons des formations adressées aux prescripteurs et aux nouvelles générations de conseils en relations publiques numériques. L'amorce du mouvement est en cours :
Vous êtes chef d'entreprise ? Qu'attendez-vous...Qu'attendez-vous pour vous demander comment y aller ? Qu'attendez-vous pour y aller ? Qu'attendez-vous pour essayer modérément d'ouvrir votre blog personnel ? Vous pourriez vous laisser tenter de vous mettre dans le sillage de ces chefs d'entreprise exemplaires comme Joel Spolsky (fondateur de FogCreek, la start-up qui édite le CityDesk). Une stratégie marketing simple : quelques essais d'achats de mots-clés sur google. Mais surtout quelque investissement personnel dans l'écriture. Et les chiffres sont là : <!--StartFragment -->en juin 2004, son weblog personnel (http://joelonsoftware.com) a reçu 455 000 visiteurs uniques et produit 3,8 millions de pages vues et ce simplement pour la version en anglais ! Pour finir, qu'attendez-vous pour consulter un professionnel ? A ce titre, si ça vous intéresse je viens de terminer la rédaction d'un plan de formation orientée plus largement sur la Networking Attitude dans l'entreprise. J'y aborde naturellement le weblog mais plus largement tous les outils et leurs enjeux pour la communication externe et interne de l'enteprise. Pour un montant de 1500 euros H.T.(à partager si vous êtes plusieurs !), je me propose ainsi de passer une journée avec vous (sous forme de formation intra ou inter-entreprises - maximum 6 personnes) pour vous faire découvrir les usages et bonnes pratiques du logiciel relationnel dans le monde des affaires. (weblog, wiki, messagerie instantanée, buzz marketing,...). Si cette offre vous intéresse, appelez-moi au 06 03 96 04 92 ou envoyez un email. Oooops le compteur de mon système affiche 1258 mots. Je m'arrête.
