Zwei-Klassen-Netz - Warum sich der Telekom-Chef freut - Digital. Anzeige Am Ende läuft es darauf hinaus, dass das Internet so ist, wie es nun einmal geworden ist, dass es aber neue Geschäftsfelder gibt, die viel zu schade wären, um sie diesem egalitär-anarchischen Umfeld auszusetzen. De facto, so macht es bei Wired.com Eliot Van Buskirk klar, wird die Etablierung von zwei "getrennten und ungleichen Netzen" angekündigt.

Neben dem vertrauten Web, nun als "öffentliches Internet" bezeichnet, entstünde ein höherpreisiger Kanal für Premiuminhalte. Der Konsum von Filmen und Musik, der Datenaustausch in Wissenschaft, Erziehung und Handel, all das würde nach diesen Vorstellungen primär über die Kanäle des neuen Internets laufen. Ein wesentlicher Teil dessen, was heute das Netz ausmacht, würde wieder stärker unter die Kontrolle durch große Konzerne gelangen. Für viele, die sich wirklich mit einem offenen Internet identifizieren, kommt Googles Deal nun einem Verrat gleich. Greifen die Regulierer ein? DNS-Verbiegungen | heise Netze. A Mild Case Of Borderitis. The image on the right is a snapshot of a portion of Gandi’s website, a domain registrar I use.

The website uses boxes and borders to structure content, and it works fairly well. The problem is, there are areas of the site where all the boxes and borders converge, forming areas of border overkill. At the bottom there you can see about 5 borders packed together in a row. Yes, grouping related items together is good to show hierarchy and relationships, but sometimes you get carried away. Let’s call this a mild case of borderitis.

Here’s what the bottom area looks like in full width: There’s quite a few things going on here. I think this can be simplified without losing any information. We can also get rid of the box around “Helpful Hints” and simple separate it with one full height border from the content on the right. Much cleaner. Our borderitis problem is resolved with just a couple of tweaks. Share photos on Twitter. Untitled. Tips for Tracking Email Marketing Campaigns. Email campaigns are a cost-effective way of attracting quality return visitors to your site. It's important that you tag your email campaigns with campaign tags so that you can track how well each email performs. This lets you optimize your efforts and track your return on investment.

What are campaign tags? Campaign tags are additional information that you apply to links. Once a link is clicked, the tag information is passed to Google Analytics. Why tag email links? Let's say that you send out an email newsletter in January and February that does not use campaign tags. But, did they visit your website as a result of the January email or the February email? Visitors who click a link in your email using an email client on their computer will be reported as Direct Traffic -- and will therefore be grouped in with visitors who used bookmarks or who typed your website's URL into their browser.

In all likelihood the sound rises and falls throughout, the pace quickens and slows, and the rhythm and melody lead you to hear chords and notes that are about to be played. Music has a flow that guides you from one moment to the next. This flow can impart different emotions and have you feeling different things at different parts of the song. In fact, without that flow, there is no music. Visual design has a flow as well. You also want to do what you can to keep people inside your design and not let their eyes fall of the page or screen.

What is Design Flow? Design flow (also referred to as movement or direction) is the way the eye moves or is led through a composition. Typically in a design you’ll create what’s known as an entry point. Done well your audience will flow from point to point with a momentary rest to absorb your key information. How to Control Flow in Design Our design elements offer visual cues about the direction the eye should follow. 34 Twenty. YouTube: Flash Still Beats HTML5. The battle between HTML5 and Adobe Flash for dominance over video on the Web is likely to end poorly for one of the two, and lately it's been looking worse and worse for Flash. Steve Jobs wrote an open letter to the Web stating why Flash would remain banned from iPhones and iPads, and just yesterday, Apple got an "unexpected ally" in its anti-Flash crusade - the adult entertainment industry.

But today, just to keep from making things too cut and dry, Google-owned video site YouTube has come out with a list of its own reasons why Flash is here to stay - for now - and HTML5 simply isn't qualified to handle the job at hand. Overall, YouTube software engineer John Harding's argument comes down to one simple statement: "We need to do more than just point the browser at a video file like the image tag does - there's a lot more to it than just retrieving and displaying a video. " He goes on to list several points where Flash still beats the up-and-coming HTML5 <video> tag.
