The Best Social Aggregators Last Updated October 12th 2011: With tech news recently touting the decline of Social Aggregators, you would think these services are on their way out. Many have in fact failed (Streamy), but there are still quite a few in the race. The reality is, as more and more organizations utilize social networks to promote their goods or services, they are learning how time consuming it can be to manage and update multiple accounts on different networks. These types of tools are still very much in demand, that hasn’t gone away. As a developer and business owner myself, any tools that can streamline the redundant day-to-day social media marketing tasks are always high on my radar. Yahoo Pipes Yahoo Pipes is exactly what it says “…a powerful composition tool to aggregate, manipulate and mashup content from around the web.” Ping.fm Ping.fm is shaping up to be one of the clear winners in the social media aggregation space. Twitterfeed Spindex Hootsuite Yoono Nomee Nomee came out of nowhere. Tweetdeck Minggl

Friendbar - The Twitter and Facebook Toolbar Which RSS Aggregator Is Best? Onfolio recently released its Onfolio 2.0 Release Candidate. For new news aggregator users, this is my second recommendation after Bloglines. Bloglines is easier, but Onfolio is much more powerful and, because it stores everything on your hard drive, opens up new scenarios (like you can read and search your feeds even when on a plane unconnected from the Internet). If you are still looking for an RSS News Aggregator, this is certainly one you should try. Real quick refresher course: There are three basic types of RSS News Aggregators: 1) Server-based aggregators. 2) Standalone client-side aggregators. 3) Built in the browser. 4) Dependent on Outlook. Do you have an aggregator you like more than any of those listed? Robert Scoble is the founder of the Scobleizer blog. Go to Scobleizer …

Second Life Built into the software is a three-dimensional modeling tool based on simple geometric shapes that allows residents to build virtual objects. There is also a procedural scripting language, Linden Scripting Language, which can be used to add interactivity to objects. Sculpted prims (sculpties), mesh, textures for clothing or other objects, animations, and gestures can be created using external software and imported. Second Life launched on June 23, 2003, and has existed since then. History[edit] In 1999, Philip Rosedale formed Linden Lab with the intention of developing computer hardware that would allow people to immerse themselves in a virtual world. On December 11, 2007, Cory Ondrejka, who helped program Second Life, was forced to resign as chief technology officer.[11] In January 2008, residents spent a total of 28,274,505 hours "inworld" and on average 38,000 residents were logged in at any particular moment. In June 2010, Linden Lab announced layoffs of 30% of its workforce.[20]

Agrégateur Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. En informatique, un logiciel d'agrégateur tresse plusieurs fils de syndication en même temps. Il prévient de la mise à jour d'un site web ou des actualités qu'il publie (par notification sonore, visuelle, etc.). Le terme est aussi utilisé de manière plus générale pour une activité tendant à regrouper plusieurs grandeurs ou flux en un seul, telle que l'agrégation d'effacement de consommation électrique. Description[modifier | modifier le code] L'agrégateur est une sorte de « facteur » qui va chercher le courrier à l'extérieur, puis le dépose chez l'utilisateur, dispensant ce dernier d'aller régulièrement aux nouvelles en visitant de nombreux sites internet. Les sources de contenu (des sites web en général) offrent l'adresse d'un fil de syndication mis à jour plus ou moins régulièrement. En général, un agrégateur permet de visualiser une liste des fils enregistrés, classés alphabétiquement ou par thématique. Usages[modifier | modifier le code]

The CIA Open Source Center Tracks the Pulse of the World Through Facebook & Twitter The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has a crack group of analysts tracking the Internet, including tweets and Facebook messages, that takes the pulse of the world. Located in McLean, Virginia analysts at the CIA Open Source Center are known as the "vengeful librarians" according to a report from the Associated Press. These librarians are tracking up to five million tweets a day from places like China, Pakistan and Egypt. It is sometimes disconcerting to know what the U.S. intelligence complex is doing, right in your backyard. Open Source Center Set Up After 9/11 The CIA facility was set up after a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission. The Green Revolution in Iran in 2009 was when social media like Facebook and Twitter really came to the forefront of the center's analysts. The U.S. media does much of the same thing, albeit on a much smaller scale. (Disclosure: I worked for TBD.com at the time and was in the newsroom during the Discovery Building news.

Agrégation Web Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. L'Agrégation Web, aussi connue sous le terme francisé de 'curation', est l'action de regrouper, sélectionner et, éventuellement, valider des pages concernant un sujet précis et de les présenter, mises en forme, dans un blog ou un outil dédié. Le mot curation semble un phénomène de mode exploité par un marketing efficace. Mais il demeure que l'Agrégation Web répond a des besoins forts des internautes : disposer de pages (URL) consacrées à un sujet et éclairées, éventuellement, par de réels spécialistes ;réduire l'investissement nécessaire à la publication construite sur le web ;commenter ou critiquer ces pages. Perspectives[modifier | modifier le code] Presse[modifier | modifier le code] Il n'est pas besoin d'être compétent dans les outils du Web pour créer et faire vivre son agrégat. L'important est l'information et sa validation selon des méthodes et une éthique journalistique. Marketing[modifier | modifier le code] arcs sémantiques de "agrégation"

The Most Complete Twitter Application List Available - 2011 Edition I believe this is the best, most complete and accurate list of valuable Twitter applications available on the internet right now. To be fair, I absolutely have merged and plagiarized other older and outdated lists that I found (the larger ones are credited below). However, I spent a good deal of time to clean out the dead applications, delete the apps that were overly quirky or being developed, focus more on the apps that increase productivity, and add in many of the new great apps that have come out over the past six months - particularly in the productivity / business apps section where my primary interest lies. Finally, while application selection can be a personal thing, I tagged my favorite app (*) in each category. I will try and update this list over time, but you can be assured that as of May, 2011, every site on this list has been tested and is up and running (or tagged as being in beta/alpha).
