What is PhoneGap? PhoneGap is an open source development tool for building fast, easy mobile apps with JavaScript. If you’re a web developer who wants to build mobile applications in HTML and JavaScript while still taking advantage of the core features in the iPhone, Android and Blackberry SDKs, PhoneGap is for you. For a quick introduction to PhoneGap, watch this three-minute video: - Pascal

WPML is a WordPress plugin that can turn WordPress and WordPressMU into complete multilingual content management systems. WPML lets you translate your site’s contents and theme. It can also add navigation elements for building full websites, not just blogs. - Pascal

Les chercheurs lisent plus d'articles mais passent moins de temps dessus. Pour classer la somme colossale de connaissances produites chaque jour, ils utilisent des nouvelles bases de données qui préfigurent l'Internet de demain. - Pascal

Voilà maintenant près de 5 ans que l’on parle du web 2.0 (ce terme a pour la première fois été utilisé en 2004 lors du Web 2.0 Summit) et depuis le grand jeu a été de savoir quand arrivera la prochaine itération. Pour faire simple disons que le web 2 .0 était le terme utilisé dans les années 2006/2007 pour décrire un changement majeur dans les usages de l’internet (voir ma dernière définition en date). Ce dernier repose sur deux notions fondamentales: l’intelligence collective, le web comme une plateforme (pour les utilisateurs et les services). Maintenant ce terme est passé de mode et l’on emploie plus volontiers celui de médias sociaux qui sonne moins “informatique” à l’oreille. J’ai également eu l’occasion de faire un panorama des différents services associés aux médias sociaux ainsi que de donner une définition. - Pascal

Cheese & Burger Society We are the Cheese & Burger Society. We believe that cheese is the Grand Poo-bah of every cheeseburger grilled at a backyard barbecue or flame-broiled at a roadside diner. But not just any slice of cheese, Wisconsin Cheese. So join us as we celebrate the greatest cheeseburgers ever made. Has Lady Luck been treating you right? Then listen up. Because from August 1 to September 30, the Cheese & Burger Society is giving its fans the chance to win a top of the line gas grill. Yes, we're nice like that. - Pascal

Comme je l’écrivais il y a 6 mois, à moins que les fabricants d’automobiles réussissent à diviser par 2 la consommation des véhicules et à changer l’ensemble du parc mondial en un an, le co-voiturage est une solution immédiatement plus efficace. On compte en moyenne 1,23 passager par véhicule par trajet en France et 50% des déplacements sont inférieurs à 3 km ! Doubler le nombre de passagers par voiture réduit par 2 l’empreinte écologique de chaque passager, immédiatement, et sans évolution technologique. - Pascal

As part of Career Camp, a series of talks at Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn, New York, that commenced this week, Liz Danzico discussed how to ask good questions in the face of career changes—whether those changes are in the pursuit of learning within your own company or a more significant career change. She advised the audience to ask themselves, “Who do you seek out when you think about change?” and “Who inspires you?” when considering where or how to move forward. - Pascal

For many people in the web design industry, design projects have a specific start and end date. The end date specifies when the design (the mockups, code, or custom CMS) will be delivered. After the end date, the engagement is over and both parties move on. This way of working grew out of the print industry and as creative folks migrated over to doing more business on the Web they’ve brought this methodology with them. And it makes sense for print…once the print version is printed there isn’t much left to do except work on something else. - Pascal

Comme l’annonçait dernièrement Eric, Joël de Rosnay est intervenu le 11 juin dernier, à la Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, sur le thème de l’e-tourisme. J’étais présente, je vous fais donc part de ses réflexions au travers d’un compte-rendu synthétique. Joël de Rosnay a abordé des thématiques évoquées régulièrement sur ce blog. De part son éloquence et la qualité de son discours, j’ai pris un réel plaisir à l’écouter. M. de Rosnay a débuté sa conférence en rappelant l’importance du développement du tourisme sur Internet, le passage de l’ère de la possession vers celle du partage (d’expériences, d’émotions…) Cette “possession s’est ainsi complémentée par le plaisir de l’émotion partagée : le voyage, le plaisir de l’expérience”. - Pascal

Les éditeurs livrent actuellement une partie de bras de fer contre Amazon et leurs autres distributeurs sur le prix des e-books ou numériques. S'ils gagnent, au final ils perdront. Explication. Habituellement, les éditeurs vendent leurs e-books à Amazon et consorts au même prix que la version papier aux libraires - c'est-à-dire à peu près la moitié du prix catalogue. Amazon et les autres insistent pour revendre la plupart des e-books à 9,99 dollars; ce qui n'est pas pour déplaire aux éditeurs lorsque le prix au détail de l'e-book est proche de celui de la version papier. En ce moment par exemple, Amazon propose Le Grand Sommeil à 10,98 dollars (prix catalogue: 14 dollars), et sa version électronique pour Kindle coûte elle 9,99 dollars. - Pascal

Not eating for 12-16 hours can help people quickly reset their sleep-wake cycle, according to a study from the Harvard Medical School. This discovery can drastically improve a person's ability to cope with jet lag or adjust to working late shifts. Scientists have long known that our circadian rhythm is regulated by our exposure to light. Now they have found a second "food clock" that takes over when we are hungry. This mechanism probably evolved to make sure starving mammals don't go to sleep when they should be foraging for food. - Pascal

Twitter cofounders have talked about the importance of discovery in interviews and at conferences over the last several months. This week a new design for Twitter.com went live featuring top tweets and a search box to find more of what you want, but Twitter and many other web companies could improve discovery much more by incorporating other players’ data. Also, a year and a half ago, Google vice president Marissa Mayer said that social search is part of the future of search. Now, the question is what data can help make social search and discovery advance faster. Think about the data that represents everything you do online, including web visits, searches, ads clicked, purchases, time spent, location, etc. Web products like the Google browser toolbar return data to Google about the websites you visit. Browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer can get even more data about what you do. For this piece, I’m referring to all this toolbar, browser, search and email data as... - Pascal

The Internet Mapping Project The internet is vast. Bigger than a city, bigger than a country, maybe as big as the universe. It's expanding by the second. No one has seen its borders. And the internet is intangible, like spirits and angels. The web is an immense ghost land of disembodied places. Who knows if you are even there, there. Yet everyday we navigate through this ethereal realm for hours on end and return alive. We must have some map in our head. I've become very curious about the maps people have in their minds when they enter the internet. So I've been asking people to draw me a map of the internet as they see it. That's all. More than 50 people of all ages and levels of expertise have mapped their geography of online. Here are three: - Pascal
