Si vous ne connaissez pas Pearltrees , c’est un société française fondée en 2009 qui va révolutionner le Web. Si vous connaissez déjà Pearltrees, c’est toujours un société française fondée en 2009, mais pour vous, elle révolutionne déjà le Web. Pour en savoir plus, nous avons rencontré Patrice Lamothe, président fondateur de cette société française basée à Paris. Sans langue de bois et dans une démarche très pédagogique, il nous parle de Facebook, de Pinterest, mais aussi des utilisateurs de Pearltrees et de l’avenir du web : la curation. Puisqu’on parle du Web, et plus particulièrement d’organisation des données sur le Web, essayons de faire simple.

Welcome, Apple! | OpenStreetMap Foundation
Yesterday Apple launched iPhoto, its photo management app, for the iPad and iPhone… and we’re rather pleased to find they’re the latest to switch to OpenStreetMap. The desktop version of iPhoto, and indeed all of Apple’s iOS apps until now, use Google Maps. The new iPhoto for iOS, however, uses Apple’s own map tiles – made from OpenStreetMap data (outside the US). If you don’t have iPhoto, you can view the maps using this unofficial viewer from Dair Grant or a transparent comparison from Iván Sánchez. The OSM data that Apple is using is rather old (start of April 2010) so don’t expect to see your latest and greatest updates on there. It’s also missing the necessary credit to OpenStreetMap’s contributors; we look forward to working with Apple to get that on there.
Francis Fukuyama: I’d like to begin by asking you about a point you made about there being certain liberal and conservative blind spots about America. What did you mean by that? Peter Thiel: On the surface, one of the debates we have is that people on the Left, especially the Occupy Wall Street movement, focus on income and wealth inequality issues—the 99 percent versus the 1 percent.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The filing of Facebook’s IPO papers seems to have changed investors’ attitudes about social game maker Zynga Inc. Since going public on Dec. 16 at $10 a share, Zynga /quotes/zigman/7720406 /quotes/nls/znga ZNGA -2.58% has been largely seen as a disappointment on the market, with its shares falling as low as $7.97 on Jan. 9, and not even getting back to its IPO level until late January. And then came Facebook, with its $5 billion IPO filing late Wednesday, and its disclosure that Zynga was responsible for 12% of Facebook’s revenue of $3.7 billion in 2011. The filing boosted confidence in Zynga, and sent its shares up by almost 17% Thursday to close at $12.39.

Isn’t it delightful how geek culture works? During my Christmas shopping last year, I stumbled into a favorite little pop culture shop in Little Collins Street in Melbourne which is well known for its comprehensive stocking of all things Lovecraftian. I was looking for some stocking fillers for the kids; instead I walked out with [...] The combination of a cloud service and verification that does not involve sharing data has allowed one company to provide a true bumper-to-bumper insurance policy, reports Victor Cruz. One legacy of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars has arrived on the southern border of the United States. The Department of Homeland Security recently completed tests of a powerful camera, one that cut its teeth in the war zones, that captures video of entire miles of border in a single frame.

March 2012 is a big month for viral ideas that change the way people think about more than just LOLcats. Here are four that happened in the last week or two and each brings its own lessons: Marilyn Hagerty's review of the local Olive Garden was a huge Twitter sensation, an easy target for ironists in search of something to snark about. The octogenarian (as much fun to type as it is to say) was fabulous in her refusal to take the bait, and this is a classic Internet meme, here today, gone tomorrow. One lesson: you can't count on media stories to pop, and when they do, they are not worth much to the media companies that publish them.
