Social platform and online booksto Digital Opportunity Index (DOI) Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are fundamentally changing how firms do business and how countries compete in the new ‘information economy’. This shift, and the rapid evolution of these technologies, led to concerns among economists and the international community that developing countries are being left behind in the emerging Information Society – not just in basic infrastructure, but in their abilities to compete in service industries, experience, and skilled labor. At the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), a UN Summit organized by the International Telecommunication Union in a unique two-phase format (Geneva 2003, Tunis 2005), governments and world leaders made a strong commitment towards building a people-centered, inclusive and development-oriented Information Society for all, where everyone can access, utilize and share information and knowledge.
quot;Hip, modern crafting books: PART 2" The Real Story: Why ComScore’s Google Clicks are Flat GOOG has fallen from a high of $747 a share to less than $450 intra day yesterday. The latest 10% or so drop comes as comScore reports that clicks on Google ads in the United States were flat in January when compared with a year earlier. But why? WHY are Clicks flat from a year ago? Is it the oncoming recession? A sign that this “Internet thing” is just another bubble? To find out what really happened, let’s take a short stroll down memory lane: all the way back to the middle of October 2007. To set the scene, picture ten men clad in dark blue business suits in a smoke filled executive boardroom deciding how to squeeze the last nickel out of customers for shareholder value. To reset the scene, imagine something like the 10-year reunion of your University’s Computer Science Fraternity set in an office best described as Geek Paradise.

The New Face of Amazon - Tags, Ajax, Plogs & Wikis Written by Alex Iskold and edited by Richard MacManus Lately Amazon has been introducing a raft of 'web 2.0' features to its e-commerce website. In this post we explore how Amazon has implemented tagging, Ajax, blogs and wikis - and ask whether it's made much difference to the user experience, and to the bottom line. In previous posts, we've discussed Amazon's bold and visionary Web Services Strategy - which is creating many success stories. But this post is not about Amazon's new business, it is about the continuous innovation of their core e-commerce business. Amazon continues to refine its web site and roll out gems that no one else has. But these are just some of Amazon's recent innovations, many others are popping up. Amazon the tagging company? We are still in the midst of the social bookmarking and tagging revolution - at least based on the numbers that came up in our analysis of trends using Technorati and Seth Godin's list.

Social Networks Nab More Than Contacts — They Save Careers Written on Feb 27, 2008 Author Dave Winget | “Brand yourself as a professional, become an authority in your field” this was the greatest advice I ever received. Suddenly people knew who I was, they knew my name, and they were looking for me. People started to contact me and ask if I was available to help them with their web projects. Last Monday I was downsized from the agency I was working with. Two hours later I had a better agency job and started the next day. Had I not branded myself, had people not known anything about me – I would likely still be out hitting the pavement and trying to find work. I cannot speak for other industries but for online marketing branding yourself can be the most valuable thing you will ever do for your career. Dave Winget has been in the online marketing industry for the past 10 years and is currently working as a senior SEO manager with a full service interactive agency in Denver, Colorado.
