HurricaneSandy: Hurricane Sandy. Interview de Patrice Lamothe – Pearltrees. Screen+Shot+2012-01-25+at+3.44.40+PM. iOS Web traffic share surpasses Mac OS for first time ever. Following Apple’s blowout December quarter during which it shipped a record 37 million iPhone handsets and 15.4 million iPad tablets, a significant shift has taken place. iOS’s share of U.S. Web traffic as observed during a six-month study conducted by leading ad network Chitika has surpassed Apple’s Mac OS Web traffic share for the first time. Read on for more. Chitika monitored traffic across its network between mid-August 2011 and early February, and compared the volume from Apple’s iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices to traffic from Mac computers.

The study covered hundreds of millions of ad impressions and it used user agent data to determine Web traffic share for each platform. According to Chitika’s data, iOS’s Web traffic share finally topped Mac OS earlier this month. “The data shows that the web market shares of iOS and OS X have been converging steadily since August,” Chitika’s Gabe Donnini noted in the firm’s report. The End of the Web? Don’t Bet on It. Here’s Why. Fred Wilson recently posted a great video on his blog with the CEO of Forrester Research, George Colony. The money slide is the graphic below. The chart shows three scarce resources and their improvements over time.

The top line is available storage (S), the middle line represents processing power (following Moore’s law) or (P) and the bottom line is the Network (N). In it he asserts that the web is dying and in its ashes will see the rise of the “App Internet.” He’s right about this. Colony’s presentation is intriguing (and worth a watch if you have a few minutes) because I love to see when informed people make arguments that are different than you ordinarily hear (and different from my own views).

In the end, Seth Godin’s comments on Fred’s blog post said it best: In other words, nobody can really assert authoritatively what the future of tech or the Internet will hold. George’s Arguments 1. 2. 3. In this era the computing model known as “client / server computing” was popularized. 1. Blog: 100 Websites You Should Know and Use.

The pessimists Some of you took a grim view of the future. Henrik Sijswerda: Pessimistic view: increased identity validation, less or no anonymity. closed communities.

Daniel Radu: 20 years is a long time. However, the technoloy race will continue in the background (with a less focus on making white devices with huge powerdraining screens and more focus on smaller processors) – making the web a suitable host for those who will aford digital versions of themselfes, agents to take care of all digital needs.

Royal Pingdom » Internet 2010 in numbers. What happened with the Internet in 2010? How many websites were added? How many emails were sent? How many Internet users were there?

Internet Control Issues: It’s Not Just China. Fighting international cyber-terrorism isn’t easy, but it’s a mission on which we can all agree, right?

Not so fast. Russia has been pushing a proposal in The United Nations agency for information technology, which describes the greatest cyber-threat not as hacking or stealing but as using the Internet to spread ideas that might undermine a country. Russia wants any such use of the Internet classified as “aggression,” and hence illegal under the UN Charter. Sounds like China right? Yes, but check out this awfully teal map of countries that agree. NPR covered the story this morning, but it’s not a new shift in thinking. It’s a delicate issue for the US diplomatically and inside the US– way bigger than “Googlegate” because, well, I refer you again to the map. But this is something different. On a more crass, business note, this could have a chilling impact on US Internet companies expansion into lucrative emerging markets. Free Website Builder - Moonfruit - Beautiful websites, simply. Moonfruit secures $2.25m funding to accelerate internationally.

You would think most people know how to get a simple web site up and running these days just on something like WordPress, but the fact remains that millions of people don’t have these skills. As a result Moonfruit, the web site building business which has survived the dotcom bust to return in the age of Web 2.0, is on a charge. It’s profitable, growing internationally and as a result has chosen to fundraise to really take the market on. It’s just secured $2.25m from U.S. investment bank Stephens.

The bank originally helped Moonfruit to buy Gandi.net, the domain registrar but since then Moonfruit has been spun out to go for accelerated international growth. Moonfruit competes with Weebly, Yola and Webnode, and many others that provide services for building simple but elegant web sites, as opposed to blogs. Moonfruit is a real blast form the past come good. Moonfruit managed to re-invigorate it’s brand last year by being among the first to trend on Twitter for a laptop giveaway contest.

Is the web really dead? Wired uses this graph to illustrate Chris Anderson and Michael Wolff's claim that the world wide web is "dead. " Their feature, The Web is Dead. Long Live the Internet, is live at Wired's own website. Without commenting on the article's argument, I nonetheless found this graph immediately suspect, because it doesn't account for the increase in internet traffic over the same period.

The use of proportion of the total as the vertical axis instead of the actual total is a interesting editorial choice.You can probably guess that total use increases so rapidly that the web is not declining at all. Perhaps you have something like this in mind: In fact, between 1995 and 2006, the total amount of web traffic went from about 10 terabytes a month to 1,000,000 terabytes (or 1 exabyte). According to Cisco, the same source Wired used for its projections, total internet traffic rose then from about 1 exabyte to 7 exabytes between 2005 and 2010. Clearly on its last legs! Wired Declares The Web Is Dead—Don’t Pull Out The Coffin Just Yet.

The Web is dead, or at least in decline, declares Wired editor Chris Anderson in the magazine’s September cover story. The article is anchored by the startling infographic above, which shows the proportion of different types of traffic on the Internet. The Web, HTML traffic visible though a browser, is only about a quarter (23%) of the overall traffic, down from about half a decade ago.

It’s been pushed down by peer-to-peer (23%), video (51%), and other types of apps which use the Internet for transport but are not browser-based. It’s not clear what exactly Wired is counting as video, but presumably it is not all of the Flash video on YouTube which is very much part of the Web. Setting aside whether Wired massaged the numbers to make its chart look pretty, Anderson’s larger point is that increasingly we are consuming information via apps other than the browser.

That may be true for now, but don’t count the browser out just yet. 29 Semi-Productive Things I Do Online When I’m Trying to Avoid R. You don’t always have to work hard to be productive.
