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. La voix, l’intelligence, le bon goût, la classe. Pourquoi je vous dis tout ça? Ecrire pour le web v1 View more presentations from Eric Mettout.
Open Source Software Tools And Directories: Where To Find Them, How To Evaluate Them If you are searching for Open Source software, where do you find good directories and collections of OSS tools, and how do you evaluate the many candidates available? Photo credit: Ophelia Cherry Unless you are looking for popular popular open source software - such as the ones available in the SourceForge top downloads or the few ones backed by vendors like Apache, Linux, MySQL, PHP, eMule, GIMP, OpenOffice or VLC, Google search might not be your best solution to find specific open source software to suit your needs.

Looking at Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn lists of favorite open-source tools, it is clear that these OSS tools are definitely not something the average person has ever heard of. How do you find good open source software, easily? 1.
Content Curation: Bringing Order to Information Overload - StumbleUpon By Christy Barksdale | Posted | 16 Comments | Filed in: Content Marketing Content marketing, the publishing of relevant, link-worthy content, has been all the rage for marketing professionals for several years. A recent survey conducted by content marketing authority Junta42 shows that companies, especially small businesses, are continuing to spend more on content marketing each year because it is more effective than traditional marketing for differentiation in the marketplace. Leads, sales and client retention are better achieved when companies are resources for their customers and help solve their pain points. Now, the new wave of content marketing has arrived: content curation. What is content curation?

LeWeb 2010 on Plancast Content Curation – How To Quickly Add Value As Information Marketers March 16, 2011 Content Curation – How To Quickly Add Value As Information Marketers By Dr. Content curation, a term that gained popularity in 2010, is the art of culling relevant, valuable and useful information from the vast ocean of data, and presenting it in a cohesive, interesting and comprehensive style that gives a ‘big picture’ view of a specific niche topic. No longer can anyone claim that they can peruse and make sense of all the content that exists (and is being constantly added) on even a very narrow range of subjects. 47 million websites were added in 2009 and an estimated 550 billion documents exist online today. The role of a content curator was first proposed around 2004, when the catchy term ‘Newsmastering’ was introduced by Robin Good of MasterNewMedia.com to describe a dedicated content analyst who would gather, collate and categorize content from various sources and compile it for consumption by those who are interested.

Curating Information as Content Strategy 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. 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. Some organizations are affected by the sprawling issue when it comes to content. Content and community
