Internet en 2015 La vidéo ci-dessous présente quelques chiffres et conclusions clés liées à l’Internet en 2010, et extrapole les évolutions d’ici à 2015 pour nous présenter une première idée de ce que pourrait être le futur du web (si la fin du monde n’est pas passée par là avant). A noter que les résultats ont été publiés en 15 tweets par le site Digital Life qui a mené l’étude, site que vous pourrez retrouver en source. Je vous ai traduites les informations principales en français et la vidéo (en anglais) est à la suite (avec d’autres données) ! 1 – Il aura fallu 100 ans pour avoir 1 milliards de lignes fixes et seulement 20 ans pour atteindre 5 milliards d’abonnements mobiles. 2 – Dès 2014, le nombre de Mobinautes dépassera le nombre d’Internautes sur ordinateur fixe. 3 – Le trafic global de l’Internet mobile en 2015 équivaudra à 19 milliards de DVD. 4 – Les Internautes n’utilisant que le mobile pour se connecter vont être en 2015 56 fois plus nombreux qu’en 2010 soit 788 millions. Envie d’un peu plus ?

Et si on s'était trompé (de stratégie) ? L’adoption en deuxième lecture du projet de loi Internet et Création, qui a pour objectif de faire cesser le piratage sur Internet par la mise en oeuvre de la méthode dite de « riposte graduée » clôt un cycle de plusieurs semaines de polémiques et de débats. Pour les opposants à la loi, parmi lesquels je me compte, c’est l’occasion de faire un retour sur ces débats et sur ce qui fait que, loi après loi, personne ne semble en mesure d’inverser la tendance d’un législation toujours plus répressive pour les usages d’Internet. Il est en particulier important de revenir sur les stratégies de positionnement qui ont été à l’oeuvre au cours des débats. Les Modernes ont toujours tort Pas tout à fait fausse, l’opposition des Anciens et des Modernes n’est pas non plus tout à fait vraie ; et surtout, c’est ce que je vais tenter de montrer maintenant, il est possible qu’elle enferme les Modernes - les opposants à la loi donc - dans une position nécessairement perdante.

HADOPI pour les nuls : explications et contournements Vendredi 3 avril 2009, l’assemblée nationale a adopté la loi "Création et Internet", avec seulement 16 députés dans l’hémicycle. Pourtant ce texte risque, s’il est appliqué, d’apporter de profondes modifications au web français tel que nous le connaissons. Cette loi instaure entre autres la "riposte graduée", qui en cas de téléchargement illégal, après l’envoi de 2 avertissements, prévoit la coupure de la connexion internet de l’abonné contrevenant. La plupart des arguments qui s’opposent à cette loi étant assez techniques, je vais tenter d’expliquer certains éléments de fonctionnement du net qui sont utiles pour les comprendres, puis j’aborderai point par point les éléments de la loi qui selon moi sont problématiques. J’essaierai également sur chaque point de montrer en quoi cette loi et d’ores et déjà inutile en montrant les différents contournements existants. Tout d’abord pour qu’il y ait sanction, il faut qu’il y ait constatation d’une infraction. Contournement : Contournement :

SEO isn't just about building search engine-friendly websites. This guide is designed to describe all areas of SEO—from finding the terms and phrases (keywords) that generate traffic to your website, to making your site friendly to search engines, to building links and marketing the unique value of your site.

Search engines are unique in that they provide targeted traffic—people looking for what you offer. Why can't the search engines figure out my site without SEO?

How Big Is the Web & How Fast Is It Growing? There's no easy way to find out or explain the size of the web. After all, though there are a few governing bodies and consortia, there's no real central control system for the Internet. No one really knows with 100% certainty exactly how many websites exist, for example, or how many new websites are set up each day. However, a few organizations do make it their business to keep an eye on the domain names that make up the Internet as the web continues its rapid sprawl throughout the infinite expanses of cyberspace. We've gathered information from a few of these sources and created some handy graphics below to help put it all in perspective. Top image based on a photograph from iStockphoto user Petrovich9.

Internet Statistics & Social Media Usage Web Server Survey In the April 2014 survey we received responses from 958,919,789 sites — 39 million more than last month. Microsoft made the largest gain this month, with nearly 31 million additional sites boosting its market share by 1.9 percentage points. IIS is now used by a third of the world's websites. Although this is not Microsoft's largest ever market share (it reached 37% in October 2007), this is the closest it has ever been to Apache's leading market share, leaving Apache only 4.7 points ahead. Although Apache gained 6.9 million sites, this was not enough to prevent its market share falling by 0.87 to 37.7%. nginx, which gained 3.1 million sites, also lost some of its market share. More than 70% of this month's new IIS-powered websites are hosted in the US, followed by 22% in China. Many of the new IIS sites hosted by Nobis Technology Group feature similar content and form part of a Chinese link farm. The latest version of Apache (2.4.9) was released on March 17.

Apple removes ThirdIntifada from the App Store - TNW Apple Apple has removed the ThirdIntifada app from the App Store, after the Israeli government asked Apple to get rid of it earlier this week. ThirdIntifada was used to distribute anti-Israeli editorial and announce scheduled protests to Palestinian users. Intifada is an Arabic word that means “shaking off” but can be more accurately translated to English as “uprising”. Two previous Israeli-Palestinian conflicts are known as the First Intifada and Second Intifada, and the name ThirdIntifada makes the intent of those behind the app quite clear. Israel’s information minister Yuli Edelstein and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights group, both complained to Apple.

Web 2.0 Companies Do Not Have Any Women on Their Board of Directors In one memorable episode of the famous old short films “The Little Rascals,” after not getting invited to a party, the Our Gang little dudes decided to form their own group, comically called “The He-Man Woman-Haters Club.” In other words: No girls allowed! While it was wink-wink cute when Spanky, Alfalfa and Buckwheat huffed and puffed about keeping out Darla–which they never ever could do–back in the last century, it’s not quite as adorkable when it comes to the boards of all the major Web 2.0 hotshots these days. That would be Twitter, Facebook, Zynga, Groupon and Foursquare, none of which have any women as directors. As in zero. What’s most remarkable is that most of these start-ups are run by what I consider enlightened and open-minded entrepreneurs, mostly young enough to be part of a generation more inclined to value equality and diversity in the workplace. In addition, each of these companies has a massive base of women consumers, in some cases well over 50 percent of its audience.
