Walter Cronkite in the Living Room of 2001 (1967) TechCrunch. Contenus innovants. Tendances. The Rise of the Social Media Curator. The Internet is a mess. There’s so much information out there that it’s a blessing we can find anything at all. Sure, you can ask Google for a hint, as long as you know what you’re looking for. But when it comes to discovering new and inspiring things on the Internet, Google isn’t helping at all. Which is why we need filters. Fortunately, Internet filters exist, and they come in the form of social media curators. They’re like your friend who lives around the corner who you can always call to suggest a new pizza place that you’ll love.
Whether they are posting to a standalone site that brings together the best content of the Web, or constantly tweeting links to the information that you want to see, these curators spend their time as the Internet’s funnel and educate you as to what’s happening in the areas you care about most.

Par Hubert Guillaud le 22/01/13 | 9 commentaires | 6,893 lectures | Impression Le Wall Street Journal publiait il y a peu une intéressante enquête sur la tarification algorithmique des sites de commerce en ligne. Les journalistes Jennifer Valentino-Devries, Jeremy Singer-Vine et Ashkan Soltani ont cherché à comprendre comment les prix des produits d’un magasin en ligne tel que Staples, un site de fournitures de bureau américain, variaient pour les utilisateurs. Visiblement, plusieurs paramètres entrent en compte pour déterminer le prix d’un produit expliquent-ils.
La localisation attribuée à votre IP (qui n’est pas forcément très fiable, notamment si vous vous connectez depuis une ligne téléphonique fixe), mais également la distance à laquelle vous êtes situé d’un magasin physique d’un concurrent !

MOOC. 10 Emerging Education and Instructional Technologies that all Educators Should Know About (2012)
Naturally, as author of EmergingEdTech, I’m always keeping an eye out for education and instructional technologies that are emerging from the seemingly endless array of tools and concepts that are out there – which applications and ideas are rising to the fore and best positioned to enhance engagement and impact learning? This year I’ve also been working with constituents at The College of Westchester to develop a Strategic Technology Plan for the next 3 years, so it’s never been more important for me to be aware of those impactful education technologies and concepts that are on the horizon or are already in use and pulling ahead of the pack.
Since this listing is more pointedly focused on emerging technologies and looking out over the next few years than the list I published at this time last year, it should not come as a surprise that there are a lot of new entries here (edging out six technologies that remain prevalent and potent, but are more ‘established’ than ’emerging’).
