Facebook Now Drives More Traffic to Web Sites Than Google - The Steve Rubel Lifestream The Clip Report: An eBook on the Future of Media In the early 1990s when I began my career in PR there were clip reports. These were physical books that contained press clips. It seems downright archaic now but that’s how I learned about the press - by cutting, pasting up and photocopying clippings. Today my role is to form insights into how the entire overlapped media landscape - the pros, social channels, and corporate content - is rapidly evolving and to help Edelman clients turn these learnings into actionable strategies. Today I am re-launching my Tumblr site with a new name, a new focus and a new format. It all kicks off today with a 15-page installment of The Clip Report.
According to Google, Google docs is not (yet) a good alternative to Microsoft office ! The battle between google and microsoft is in progress, with a big battle Microsoft office / Google documents. Every day news come about new companies switching from Microsoft office to google doc. Last week, Dave Girouard gave an interview to ZDnet Asia. Dave Girouard is an important guy in google (he’s one of the company’s four presidents including founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin), so his words are important. And what he said in this interview was a big surprise for me. To make it short, he explained that google documents is not the good solution for enterprise yet, it will be in 1 year ! His exact words are : We wouldn’t ask people to get rid of Microsoft Office and use Google Docs because it is not mature yet he expects Google’s online document application, Google Docs, to reach a “point of capability” next year that will serve the “vast majority’s needs”.
Comment le web de données change-t-il la nature de la toile ? En rendant les contenus du web lisibles par les machines, le web sémantique bouleverse notre univers informationnel et ouvre de nouvelles opportunités propres à redéfinir la nature du Web : d’un web de document à un web de données. (ce billet est issue d’une note de synthèse, réalisée dans le cadre de mes activités universitaires. Il s’agit d’un bilan de lecture autour du web de données. Il m’a semblé intéressant de le republier ici pour solliciter l’avis des connaisseurs de ce sujet, et ouvrir le débat) 1. A peine avons-nous commencé à explorer les nouveaux modèles d’affaires du Web 2.0 que déjà se profile un nouveau paradigme prometteur : le web de données. Les applications du Web 2.0 reposent de plus en plus sur la gestion, l’analyse et l’exploitation des massives quantités de données issues des UGC. Nos historiques de navigation sont enregistrés, tous comme nos requêtes sur des applications tierces, et l’immense champ des flux de données plus ou moins bien structurés. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

BNF (French National Library) is ready to surrender to Google ! The BNF is the French National Library. For years, and especially when Jean-Noël Jeanneney was in charge of the BNF (2002-2007), BNF has refused to discussed with google to scan it’s books. Jeanneney wrote a book about it : “Google and the myth of Universal knowledge : a view from Europe”.The argument is that google is a US private company so : they will make money with it, wich is against french idea of universal access to booksthey will not scan everything, but they will make choices, and the criteria will be an US angle At one point of time French people wanted to launch an initiative “against” Google initiative to scan books Gallica. Today we learn that some discussions are ongoing between Google and the BNF. The reasons are easy : governments do not give money to do Gallica, and google proposes to do it for free. This is a very important news, it should make a lot of noise …
Open Facebook Search Google set to acquire Waze for $1.3b The acquisition follows months of speculation involving Google, Facebook and Apple. Sources inform ''Globes'' that Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) will acquire Waze Ltd. for $1.3 billion. The acquisition of the Israeli navigation app and traffic report start-up will be completed after months of reports that Waze would be sold to either Google or Facebook Inc. Ra'anana-based Waze has almost 50 million users. Reports about a possible sale of Waze are not new. Another reason was that Waze insisted that its Israeli employees should continue working in Israel, which Facebook did not accept. In the past few months, there have been numerous reports that Apple Inc. Waze has developed one of the most popular navigation apps on the market. Waze was founded in 2009 and in October 2012, it announced a $30 million financing round from Horizons Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and iFund. The deal will turn some Waze founders into multimillionaires. Comments Your comment Load more comments

Google Keep Note-Taking App Unveiled for Android, Web Google on Wednesday officially unveiled its new note-taking service, dubbed Google Keep. "With Keep you can quickly jot ideas down when you think of them and even include checklists and photos to keep track of what's important to you," Google said in a blog post. "Your notes are safely stored in Google Drive and synced to all your devices so you can always have them at hand."

It’s Time To Start Thinking Of Twitter As A Search Engine At a dinner tonight with a friend the conversation turned to Twitter. He just didn’t get it, and he’s certainly not the first person to tell me that. Specifically, my friend didn’t understand the massive valuation ($250 million or more) that Twitter won in its recent funding. I told him why I thought it was more than justified: Twitter is, more than anything, a search engine. I told him what I thought of Twitter as a micro-blogging service: it’s a collection of emotional grunts. Twitter also gathers other information, like people’s experiences with products and services as they interact with them. More and more people are starting to use Twitter to talk about brands in real time as they interact with them.
Personnal Gmail or professional outlook :guess which one is my favorite ? As many people, to work day to day, I use outlook which is a corporate tool, and gmail for my private emails, because it’s free and convenient.Of course, outlook is a good tool, this is why we use it.What I like much in outlook is : it’s working quite fine : no major issues, performances are good, management of poor connections is fine the agenda management is great and very useful in compagny context,the synchronization with my blackberry is efficientit’s fully integrated with windows, no need to login again Outlook is fully integrated with other Microsoft tools (office, MOCS, portal), and it’s convenient But… When I compare it to gmail I use for personal purpose… I’m disappointed, and I m sure some functionality are missing to make my life better, and make my job more efficient. In gmail, mails are organized by conversations, and not just listed like in outlook.This is really a great feature to make emails easily accessible.I’ve tried to reproduce it in outlook, but with no success.
