TED's head Chris Anderson has a point. In this 18' long video of his live presentation he illustrates why online video may be indeed a truly transformative force as we have probably never seen before.
The ability to see and learn from each other is something we have never been able to do on such a global scale. ...and the effects are pretty amazing.

Quand on parle d'un moteur de recherche on ne peut pas ne pas évoquer les géants Google, Yahoo et Bing. Ce sont ces moteurs qui ont monopolisé la recherche sur le Net. Mais cela n’empêche pas quelques autres moteurs de recherche qui essaient toujours de se faire une place sous le soleil et avoir leur part des rayons de mots clés. Dans mon article que voici je vais citer ces quelques moteurs de recherche qui ont bien soigné leurs logos mais qui travaillent à l'ombre de Mrs Google, Yahoo et Bing.
Your website is dead. But your content lives in other formats, across other devices. What is currently available is only the beginning — the world is changing, and as a result the way we interact with information is changing.
When we talk mashups, we’re talking about content curation, activity streams, syndication and personalization. It’s not simply enough to have access to content, it has to mean something — it has to have context!
By providing context, content has relevance, and can leverage your audience’s social graph, so that they feel valued and accurately represented no matter where they go. But providing contextual content is much more than having content....
Tasked with creating a corporate page for Bloomberg, frog had to figure out the central theme of all its myriad businesses: Data, which they then used as a clever bit of branding.
The idea is that Bloomberg, in all of its businesses, provides data and information. So why not use that data as the actual branding itself..?
Learnfizz is a new curation tool, still in private beta, which allows education specialists as well as other trainers and teachers to create their own curated collections of free learning resources.
The service promises to be free and to remain so.
Curated items can be saved just as "Links" or organized into "Mixes". If you have a specific strong passion or interest, you can then create an "Academy" which is a curated collection of "Mixes".
Interestingly, this seems to be the first working example of a mini-human-curated search engine, the type of search and discovery resource that will gradually replace present day Googles and Bings for quality content finding.
Kudos to Henry Stewart / LearnFizz for moving in the right direction.
What is a computer? Steve Jobs famously described the computer as “a bicycle for the mind” — a tool to help us remember, think, discover, and create. Computers are high-tech, universal tools; they’re so useful, in fact, that some of us spend all day in contact with some sort of digital device.
There’s another way, though, to think about what a computer is: not as a high-tech tool, but as a profound intellectual achievement. In a deep sense, the power of the computer is as much about ideas as it is about circuits. The incredible, open-ended flexibility that makes computers so powerful — and that lets us use them to figure out everything from climate modeling to “Jeopardy!” — is, in fact, the product of more than two thousand years of painstaking, hard-won intellectual progress in low-tech fields like mathematics, logic, and philosophy. Like the tide line on a beach, the computer marks the furthest we’ve progressed in a philosophical quest to understand, perfect, and extend the reach of reason.
we can already "think like the universe", after all, the universe is in our consciousness, we are connected straight to the center. and on to other universes. science needs mystics! open up!

Une étude du cabinet d'analyse Juniper Research montre que la croissance du marché numérique, pour les lecteurs ebook, se couple d'une forte augmentation de l'achat de livres numériques sur des appareils portables. En l'occurrence, des smartphones.
En effet, pour cette année, le rapport, Mobile Publishing: eBooks, eMagazines & eNewspapers for Smart Devices, montre que la demande va croissant pour tout ce qui est tablettes, qui représenteraient 30 % de parts de marché pour 2016, dans le téléchargement de livres numériques. Ce taux de pénétration du marché a principalement été stimulé par l'avènement de l'iBookstore d'Apple et celui du Kindle Fire d'Amazon.
COOP 2012 will be the tenth COOP conference and twenty years on from the first conference in 1992 we are asking practitioners to reflect on what have been the successes and the failures, and what are the remaining challenges in our relevant domains. It will take place in Marseille , France. The conference aims at bringing together researchers who contribute to the analysis and design of cooperative systems and their integration in organizational unity, public and otherbsettings, and their implications for policy and decision-making.

L’Assemblée Générale des Nations Unies a officiellement lancé l’Année internationale des coopératives, le 31 octobre à New York.
Mon avis : HOP LA ! information obtenue par le hub viadéo "Solidarités viadéo" (http://bit.ly/gZd8uT).

Intéressante réflexion sur des questions générées par les avancées logicielles :
- Comment écrirons-nous demain ?
- L'intelligence artificielle peut-elle aider à créer des histoires ?
- Développer de nouveaux signes et symboles
- S'écrire soi-même
- etc.
Extraits :
... "L'écriture se transforme par l'utilisation de nos claviers, de nos dalles tactiles et de nos logiciels ... . Comment les nouvelles technologies impactent-elles ce que produisent les auteurs et ce que produisent les machines (pour autant que les deux parviennent à travailler de concert) ?
Et comment à l'avenir nos modes d'écritures vont-ils être bouleversés par des machines toujours plus intégrées..."
