Das ZDF zieht neue Seiten auf: Seit Sonntag zeigen sich ZDF.de, heute.de und ZDFsport.de in einem überarbeiteten Design. Das neue Portal ist wesentlich reduzierter, für mobile Endgeräte optimiert und setzt massiv auf die Bewegtbild-Inhalte des Senders. Für ZDF-Chefredakteur Peter Frey ist der Relaunch ein wichtiger „Eckstein in der multimedialen Strategie des ZDF“. Tatsächlich hoffen die Mainzer, im Web Zuschauer zu erreichen, die „schon gar kein Fernsehen mehr schauen“. Die neue Seite von Heute.de In ihrer eigenen Pressemitteilung beschreibt das ZDF den Umbau als eine Wende von einer Philosophie der "Themenfülle auf den ersten Blick" zu einem Konzept der "minimalistischen Ästhetik".

Elad Blog: How Pinterest Will Transform the Web in 2012: Social Content Curation As The Next Big Thing

http://blog.eladgil.com/2011/12/how-pinterest-will-transform-web-in.html

The most interesting wave hitting the social web in 2012 is social curation. This was kicked off in 2011 as Pinterest's growth was noticed by Silicon Valley and a number of companies quickly followed suit - Snip.It launched as a social information curation platform, Quora adopted boards for a similar purpose, and Fab.com launched a structured social commerce feed. In this blog post I will discuss the evolution of social media from long-form to push-button, the emergence of social curation on sites such as Twitter and Tumblr , and the move to structured sets of curated content on Pinterest and its brethren. ...Social Media: Evolving From Long Form To Push Button In the evolution of social media over the last decade, the trend has been a move from long form content, which has high friction of participation (both on the production and consumption side) to ever lower requirements placed on a user to participate in a conversation.

A Time to Tune Out - NYTimes.com

The agreement for now only affects about 1,150 of Volkswagen’s more than 190,000 workers in Germany, but it’s a start in encouraging employees to switch off, curb the twitchy reflex to check e-mail every couple of minutes, and take a look out at things — like family and the big wide world — without the distraction of a blinking red light. Now I know we’re all supposed to be grown-ups and switching off should be a simple enough decision, but the fact is addictions to BlackBerries and other hand-held devices are powerful and nobody expects addicts to self-administer the right medicine without some help. The Volkswagen decision reflects growing evidence of stress-related burnout tied to employees’ inability to separate their working and private lives now that developed societies live in a 24/7 paroxysm of connection.

There is one iOS "tip" that I keep hearing and it is wrong. Worse, I keep hearing it from supposedly authoritative sources. I have even heard it from the lips of Apple "Geniuses" in stores. Here is the advice - and remember it is wrong: All those apps in the multitasking bar on your iOS device are currently active and slowing it down, filling the device's memory or using up your battery. To maximise performance and battery life, you should kill them all manually.

It is now illegal to access any foreign website in the Republic of Belarus - The Next Web

According to the US Library of Congress, the Republic of Belarus has just recently published a law making it illegal for Belarusian citizens and residents access and/or use foreign websites (particularly for commercial purposes). Violations of the law are recognized as a misdemeanor and result in a charge of up to $125. The law requires companies and individuals that are registered as entrepreneurs to only use domestic domains for providing online services, conducting sales, or exchanging email messages. This likely means that domain holders with any connection to outside services will likely have to forfeit their domains. The law will begin on January 6, completely destroying the benefits that an open Web can have on the economy and quality of life for citizens. From the LoC:
