10 European Startups To Watch in 2011. When you hear Silicon Valley discuss the European startup scene it’s often negatively. Some say that the investors aren’t brave enough, some say the entrepreneurs aren’t bold enough. Whether there’s any truth in these accusations or not, the fact is that there are startups across Europe that are brimming with original ideas and creativity. Following on from our 10 Exciting European Startups from 2010, here are 10 startups to look out for in 2011. Pearltrees Visitors to the LeWeb conference last month couldn’t have failed to spot Pearltrees. The French startup had a stand large enough to rival tech heavyweights like Google and Zynga. Pearltrees makes organising groups of links to content incredibly easy. Recent additions to the service include real-time group collaboration and a touch-screen based interface which will be ported to the iPad soon.
Planely The idea behind Planely is a certainly niche one, but the Danish startup could well be onto something that frequent air travellers will love.

Choisir le Web que nous voulons : l'exploration ou la prison. Le Monde | • Mis à jour le | Par Olivier Ertzscheid (maître de conférences en sciences de l'information), Université de Nantes et IUT de La Roche sur Yon Pourquoi le Web, pourtant si vaste, nous semble-t-il si facilement traversable à bord de nos navigateurs ? Est-ce grâce au seul mérite des "moteurs" de recherche ? Non. Si le Web nous est rendu appropriable, si le sentiment d'être "perdu dans l'hyperespace" s'efface souvent au profit d'une découverte hasardeuse, heureuse (sérendipité) et rassurante, c'est pour une raison simple. C'est parce que le Web est un graphe à invariance d'échelle, c'est-à-dire avec de la redondance, ni vraiment aléatoire ni vraiment hiérarchique et dont l'immensité n'oblitère pas la possibilité offerte à chacun d'entre nous d'en mesurer le diamètre ; mieux, de faire l'expérience de cette mesure, de faire le tour du Web.
Le diamètre du Web, c'est la plus longue distance entre deux liens hypertextes. En 1999, Laszlo Barabasi l'a mesuré : il était de 19 liens. Sessun, journal intime. 10 Canadian Startups You Should Know About. Canada is ripe with startups, but being a huge country it’s easy to miss some of the really cool ones that we should be keeping an eye on. With the help of some friends (David Crow and Jeremy Wright), I came up with a list of some of the startups we should all have on our radar. These aren’t all new startups, or “hot” startups, or “whatever” startups, but they all are doing something interesting that we should have our eyes on (in no particular order, btw): 1) ThoughtFarmer: Maybe Intranets aren’t sexy or really cool or getting huge headlines, but the fact of the matter is that lots of companies use them.
Maybe “use” is too mild a word…rely might be better. ThoughtFarmer has been doing a lot of really, really cool things under the radar for years now. Recently they launched version 4.0 of their Intranet toolkit, which makes the things I wanted to do with an Intranet 10 years ago, child’s play. 2) Status.net: Roll your own microblogging server? 3) Shopify: So you want to sell stuff online.

Five Types of Social Media Integration* *And they are all harder than you think We have been pushing our "integrated social media" for a few years now - probably sooner than we should have. When we said 'integrated' a year ago generally we meant integrating marketing, communications and customer service. Implicit in that is a second interpretation of integrated, this time to mean the combination of owned, paid and earned media strategies and platforms.
That's what tends to get the biggest impact in social media from marcom programs. Now integration means something more to the top brands who have been experimenting and applying social media over the past few years. Both Jackie Huba and Jeremiah Owyang recently published posts on "the year of integration. " Each has good experience consulting with major brands to call on.

Content, which is anything that informs, educates, or entertain online, is your business digital body language. The Internet changed how people find and read content. While it was helpful to have a strategy for publishing information about your business before the Web, people didn't necessarily track if what you gave them as brochures and papers was integrated with everything else.
Online, it's easier to see all of the different outputs of an organization side by side -- and to notice whether they connect the dots, or if they seem to come from separate businesses. It is more attractive to buy from a business that has its act together. You find out through search. Why content is important On the Web, people trade attention for good, useful content. There are still companies that struggle with the idea of becoming content producers, and thus have not yet formulated a content strategy.

Content Curation: Why Is The Content Curator The Key Emerging Online Editorial Role Of The Future? What is content curation and why is it so important for the future of web content publishers? The content curator is the next emerging disruptive role in the content creation and distribution chain. In a world submerged by a flood of information, content curators may provide in the coming months and years a new, tremendously valuable service to anyone looking for quality information online: a personalized, qualified selection of the best and most relevant content and resources on a very specific topic or theme.

Mon cours du CFJ en Power Point | Nouvelle formule. Ca m’arrive de plus en plus rarement mais j’étais un peu ému, hier, lors de la séance inaugurale de la saison 2010 du CFJ – version poussin: l’école accueillait ses première année (premières années?). J’y suis déjà intervenu, au CFJ, mais cette année, je suis « fil rouge », responsable d’une spécialisation – je vous la donne en mille, le journalisme sur Internet. Pourquoi ému? Parce que les fils rouges causent, le premier jour, émettent leur déclaration de politique générale, en 10 minutes chrono, devant les étudiants et devant leurs pairs, en l’occurrence quelques pointures bien mieux chaussées que moi, dont l’une, Gérard Courchelle (c’est lui, au-dessus, la mimine en l’air), que j’admire depuis tout petit déjà, quand je l’entendais présenter le journal sur France Inter.
