Seven 'must have' productivity apps for the iPad
'What apps have you got installed on your iPad?' That's a question I get asked almost daily from people who are overwhelmed by the 600,000 or so apps on offer at Apple's App Store and who are looking for a little help to sort out the digital wheat from the chaff. Rather than just rattle off a whole list of apps that I use on my iPad (it would be a long list, and that would make a boring post) I thought I'd pick my top seven 'must have' productivity iPad apps and give you some insight into how I use them. These are all apps that I turn to on a daily basis and that have transformed my iPad from a content consumption device into a piece of kit that's capable of doing real work.

Le futur du Web sera social, intelligent et proactif – (1) La révolution Sirienne
Après le Web 1.0 de l’information et le Web 2.0 du social, le Web 3.0 s’annonce comme étant intelligent et symbiotique. Avec Siri, Apple ouvre une nouvelle ère. Mais déjà se dessine la génération suivante, le Web Proactif. Une véritable révolution est en marche. Lorsque le 4 octobre dernier, Apple dévoile son nouvel iPhone, c’est la grande déception. La révolution de l’interface vocale Pour beaucoup, ce n’est qu’un nouveau gadget qui amuse les sites tels que STSR (Shit That Siri Says) ou siri-et-moi. Comme à son habitude, Apple n’a inventé aucune technologie, mais sait avec génie populariser un usage. La reconnaissance vocale, ou plus exactement la reconnaissance automatique de parole, est née dans les années 50, peu après l’informatique. De son côté, l’intelligence artificielle, née aussi dans les années 50, est longtemps restée dans les laboratoires. De HAL 9000 à Siri En 2003, le Pentagone (via le DARPA) initie le projet CALO (Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organize).
10 Best productivity web apps - Internet Marketing Blog
Despite the fact that mobile usage has been increasing very rapidly the last couple of years, I still believe that you can only complete heavy and important tasks on a laptop (mostly) or a desktop. I have used web apps to become more productive for many years and some of them really helped a lot. So here is the list of 10 web applications to increase productivity. It is needless to say that there are gazillions web applications available to complete all sort of tasks, these reviews are based on personal experience and I strongly recommend them. Box– Allows you to store, access and share your files with colleagues and friends. Evernote – Keep notes on anything you want and have them indexed and organized. Gmail – Probably the best email application out there, easy to use and extremely fast with a lot of free storage space. Skype – Make free calls or video chat with your colleagues or team members. Basecamp – Manage your projects wisely with Basecamp. Any more in the list?
Facebook vs. Google: The battle for the future of the Web - Nov. 3
FORTUNE -- Paul Adams is one of Silicon Valley's most wanted. He's an intellectually minded product designer with square-framed glasses, a thick Irish accent, and a cult following of passionate techies. As one of Google's lead social researchers, he helped dream up the big idea behind the company's new social network, Google+: those flexible circles that let you group friends easily under monikers like "real friends" or "college buddies." He never got to help bring his concept to consumers, though. In a master talent grab last December, Facebook lured him 10 miles east to Palo Alto to help design social advertisements. In the long history of tech rivalries, rarely has there been a battle as competitive as the raging war between the web's wonder twins. In one corner is Facebook, the reigning champion of the social web, trying to cement its position as the owner of everyone's online identity. This shift to a more social web changes everything for businesses and consumers alike. Google

Tu comprends, c’est pour le web
Ceux qui bossent dans le digital (qui mettent vraiment les mains dedans, pas ceux qui en parlent, hein) connaissent ces phrases toutes faites qui vous hérissent le poil. Ces phrases qui montrent que votre client, voire même votre collègue de bureau, ne comprend vraiment rien à Internet. Ces phrases qui existent pour presque tous les métiers du digital, de la stratégie à la réalisation en passant par la création et même le storytelling transmedia. Et c’est d’ailleurs l’agence de storytelling Socultstudio qui nous propose une investigation sur le terrain. Merci à Celina et Mrolivier pour leur article ci-dessous. C’est un rendez-vous qui commence bien. Ha. Bon d’accord, mais que doit-on “comprendre” ? Tu comprends l’annonceur n’est pas encore mûr sur le digital. Traduction : On a déjà tout claqué en TV. Tu comprends, le web c’est encore nouveau. Tu comprends, le client, il a besoin d’être rassuré. Tu comprends, sur le web on peut faire le buzz avec une vidéo amateur. Là on comprend mieux.
20+ Mac Apps to Increase Your Productivity
Years ago, one of the criticisms lobbed at the Mac platform was that when it comes to software, there just isn't much out there. Any Mac user will know that that stopped being true a long time ago, but in the last five or six years especially, the Mac as a platform has undergone a sort of software renaissance. Not only are the big mainstream programs available for the Mac (with the exception of games, where Windows still consistently rules the roost), but independent software developers have put out some of the most spectacular software available for any platform — much of it only available for the Mac. I'm always trying to juggle lots of different projects and looking for the best ways to make my time and my work as efficient as possible, so I love productivity applications. For the Mac addicts and newcomers alike, I've compiled twenty of my favorite Mac productivity applications. Task Management One of the most common types of productivity applications is the task manager. Text Tools
