Des moteurs de recherche pour une veille plus efficace Effectuer des recherches sur Internet fait maintenant partie du quotidien pour bon nombre de personnes surtout lorsque l’on souhaite faire de la veille sur un sujet particulier. Bien entendu, les moteurs de recherche ne sont pas les seuls outils à notre disposition, d’autres existent : les flux RSS, les alertes par courriel, les listes de diffusion thématiques, etc. Cependant, utiliser un moteur, ou plutôt des moteurs de recherche ne s’improvise pas. Dans la société de l’information que nous connaissons, savoir faire des recherches de manière efficace, ne pas se contenter d’un seul moteur aussi efficace soit-il, jongler entre plusieurs outils sont autant de savoir faire devenus nécessaires. Outre la pertinence des mots clés, les fonctions de recherche avancée que proposent certains sites, le recours à des outils divers et complémentaires permet souvent d’obtenir des résultats plus pertinents. D’autant que la diffusion de l’information prend des chemins de plus en plus divers.

kooaba SMC France - Social Media Club France | Accueil Forest Guardians: A Developer’s Tale « Digitally Bold Forest Guardians, absolutely the most difficult game project I’ve taken on to date. That said, it’s been a fun game to develop. I really want to spend some time taking you through my thought processes for developing this game. Let you see what Forest Guardians started out as and what Forest Guardians (almost two years later) finally became. Where it all started I knew I wanted to make a tower defense game. So my first idea didn’t have little animal guardians, instead it was all about the Fairies. It’s interesting to look at this now, it’s not even similar to what Forest Guardians has become. The second image, below, may have some similarities to the final product. Redefining the Game I can’t be as specific with dates now, because the files that make the game are precisely the same as the ones I was using less than a couple weeks ago when finishing up the game. 2010 Christmas, I decided on a whim to make GooMonsters. The editor is entirely designed in Flash. Let’s look at some progression
Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO Fitbit has discontinued their Fitbit One step trackers, which seems like a good opportunity to step back and reflect on wearing one for the last decade or so. I’ve enjoyed using Fitbit trackers, but the One devices seemed like they broke down too often. I’m pretty proud that I ended up earning all the activity-related Fitbit badges though: In 2013, I ran a 50 mile race and I took 110,472 steps that day. But the Rainbow badge was a little harder: 700 floors in one day. DC isn’t known for its high buildings. That’s how I found myself on a Sunday morning in July 2018. Wait a second–the badge is only for 700 floors, so why did I climb 800+ floors? Overall, Fitbit’s badges have probably pushed me to walk more, along with a goal to get 10,000 steps a day.
SEO News Online» Google Sitelinks expand In their ongoing efforts to give better search results to users, Google is continuing to test the viability of providing jumbo-sized search results for search terms. Google is offering expanded Sitelinks display on searches by displaying a dozen or so links below the main search result. Testing of the expanded sitelinks feature began in April. A week back, Google finally came out with official confirmation that the expanded sitelinks feature is here to stay. Google explains that the Sitelinks that appear below search results will be URL’s added to a single line of text. In addition to the whopping number of results displayed by Google, the search engine has also improved their search algorithm. Although Google has tried to produce expanded results, users have observed that twelve results may not always appear for all brands. Although webmasters have greeted this upgrade with mixed reactions, Google on their part is still experimenting with this feature.
