Editor's Notes
The 3 hottest mobile devices right now: The Palm Pre, iPhone 3Gs and the new Google Android phone all have browsers that are based off the Webkit rendering engine . http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/07/16/html5-and-the-future-of-the-web/ http://funinread.com/emerging-technologies-2011/ Semantic Web , a web of data that allow machines to understand that meaning of data or information written over the World Wide Web. Semantic web technologies are making new horizons for the web users. Semantic web data is a part of web data over World Wide Web which is able to process independently of application, domain or any platform. Data stored on webs in the form of documents that cannot be readable or understandable by the computers. User want to search something over the internet, search engine will display all the content whether relevant or irrelevant for user. User have to find again relevant data whereas, in semantic technologies computer reads the word or phrase searched a user using search engine and produce the specific relevant result by the means of artificial intelligence techniques. For permanent data storage M-Disc technology will be launched in the market soon for commercial purposes. It is a scratch proof disc and can store data for more than 1,000 years into a stone-like metals and metalloids. Normal CDs and DVDs face loss of data in humidity and in high temperature whereas M-Disc is capable to prevent loss of data in such conditions. M-Disc current available storage capacity is 4.78 GB DVD. It cannot be burn in normal writers, 5X stronger laser burners are required to burn M-Disc. But, can be read by normal DVD players as backward compatible technology is used. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/P/pervasive_computing.html The idea that technology is moving beyond the personal computer to everyday devices with embedded technology and connectivity as computing devices become progressively smaller and more powerful. Also called ubiquitous computing , pervasive computing is the result of computer technology advancing at exponential speeds -- a trend toward all man-made and some natural products having hardware and software . Pervasive computing goes beyond the realm of personal computers : it is the idea that almost any device, from clothing to tools to appliances to cars to homes to the human body to your coffee mug, can be imbedded with chips to connect the device to an infinite network of other devices. The goal of pervasive computing, which combines current network technologies with wireless computing, voice recognition , Internet capability and artificial intelligence , is to create an environment where the connectivity of devices is embedded in such a way that the connectivity is unobtrusive and always available. Three years ago, the smartphone “boom” was still an uncertain possibility. Today, we are surrounded by a society of smart phone addicts who live as if their lives cannot continue without instant, mobile access to the web, e-mail, and apps for every occasion. Mobile devices have come a long way in just three short years, and now support a wide range of useful features beyond making phone calls. For location-challenged individuals like myself, geolocation is one of the most useful additions. http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/mobile-web-apps/html5-geolocation/
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product , whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid ) over a network (typically the Internet ). http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/07/technology/07apple.html - Apple Cloud Music service “iCloud” http://explore.live.com/skydrive
Infographics are traditionally viewed as visual elements such as signs, charts, maps, or diagrams that aid comprehension of a given text-based content. Often more powerful than words or imagery alone, infographics utilize visual elements of design and words to convey a message in such a way that context, meaning and understanding are transcended to the observer in a manner not previously experienced. However, visual representation of information can be more than just the manner in which we are able to record what has been discovered by other means. They have the potential to become the process by which we can discern new meaning and discover new knowledge. http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/
Web GL extends the capability of the JavaScript programming language to allow it to generate interactive 3D graphics within any compatible web browser . WebGL code executes on a computer display card's Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which must support shader rendering. WebGL is a context of the canvas HTML element that provides a 3D computer graphics API without the use of plug-ins . [2] The specification was released as version 1.0 on March 3, 2011. [1] WebGL is managed by the non-profit Khronos Group .
Anything Social in terms of networking is big! Meta tools that publish to several social sites These days almost all newly popular social tools apparently support Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the likes. Amplify , Sendible , Trunk.ly or Sprout Social are just a few of useful examples I’ve tested recently. As you will notice they come from different directions but tackle the problem of reaching all your friends and followers on different platforms. http://mashable.com/2011/10/19/google-users-have-posted-3-4-billion-photos/ http://socialstatistics.com/ https://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send "updates" (text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) via SMS, instant messaging, email, to the Twitter website, or an application such as Twitterrific. Twitter was founded in March 2006 by San Francisco start-up company Obvious Corp. In April 2007, Obvious, LLC spun off the service as a separate entity under the name Twitter, Inc. with Jack Dorsey as CEO. The company surpassed 200 million tweets per day in June but has since jumped to nearly 250 million daily tweets. The growth has been tremendous: Twitter had around 100 million tweets per day in January 2011. http://mashable.com/category/twitter/ 5 ways to use wordpress for mobiel blogging http://andynathan.net/2011/09/5-ways-to-use-wordpress-mobile-blogging-to-enhance-your-blogging-skills/ Twitter Study tracks are moods – New York Times - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/30/science/30twitter.html
I googled the term podcasting the other day and found 24 million hits. It’s become a very popular term, but I don’t know how many people know what it really is. So let’s begin with a general description or definition of what podcasting is. The difference between an audio file and a podcast – is the “cast” part – what really makes it a podcast is the ability to broadcast a series of audio files (or video files (called vodcasts) to wide audience. These terms are from wikipedia and O’Reilly Technology
A basic podcast contains only audio and is the easiest to create and listen to. Other types of podcast: An enhanced podcast has both audio and slides (like a narrated PowerPoint presentation on the Web). A vodcast (or video podcast) contains video and audio and is the most difficult to create and view. Let’s look at iTunes to bring down the anatomy of a podcast. You can think of a podcast like a CD. The author can put out multiple CD’s, the author(s) can have multiple podcasts. The podcast has title or “Album” name. The podcast description is an overall paragraph of what the podcast is about. Then you can have the Category, if your podcast falls in a specific category, like education or educational technology (more specific). The episodes in a podcast are kind of like the tracks on the CD. Now each episode (the episode is the recorded mp3 file that you add to the podcast) has a name, the artist or author and “albulm” name or podcast that it belongs to is going to stay the same. Each episode also has it’s own description.
The steps of creating a new podcast – how a podcast is born. After these initial steps, the user will only need to create additional episodes (an mp3 file) and upload it the proper location and depending on the method used to create the podcast, they may have to make some additonal changes to their webpage or xml file for the new episode.
http://feedicons.com/ Also called agregators iTunes can only subscribe to audio/ video feeds – some feeds “when you see the RSS icon are for text based feeds. Some of these other podcatchers can also take text based feeds. Google is an example – I really like google homepage – log-in to your google account, set-up your igoogle page and then go to any web page, click on the rss feed icon – it’ll ask you if you want to use google homepage or reader – you can put podcast, vodcast, and text/ blog feeds on your google page. Odeo – netvibes – these are web-based podcatcher solutions – listen and manage your podcast anywhere where there’s internet connection/ netvibes can also manage text feeds – myPodder – web-based – allow you to download podcast episodes to an mp3 player
