Until now, bloggers only had the option of displaying their stories on a chronological basis, with feeds that showed just the most recent posts and pushed the rest off the page and into oblivion. If a local blogger wrote about a great new restaurant or about a recent town meeting and some readers didn’t visit the site that day, that post was gone and the blogger had missed the opportunity to reach those readers. Now, with Outside.in’s StoryMaps, they can promote their content by geography and places — and use a permanent promotion and navigation element that matches how their local readers live and want to explore content.

Photogamers get daily tasks to use their cameras and share. The more people who play, the more interesting it is to see what folks post!

There's a general misconception as to what, exactly, the "cloud" really is. I think most people imagine it as just a large cluster of computers, hooked up together as a large database or map/reduce storage system sitting behind a load balancer so that it can respond to requests as scalably as possible. That's definitely part of it, but there's much more to the cloud than that. The cloud can be intelligent.

Public networks (both wired and wireless) are great. After all, what would life be without connecting while at airports, hotels and coffee shops? However, the danger to your personal data exists even if you connect to a fee based open network. Your passwords, credit card numbers, and any data you send can be seen and associated with you personally. Standard antivirus software won't protect you as this threat is on the network, not your laptop or iPhone. That's why AnchorFree is pleased to offer Hotspot Shield. Our application keeps your Internet connection secure and anonymous on public networks.

Most of us take mobile phones for granted. Not so for Jan Chipchase, a design researcher for Nokia, who travels the globe exploring how people use their mobile devices, discovering how to make them better, how to reach the billions of people who don't own a phone - and learning a whole lot about people along the way. Jason Palmer caught up with him in Japan - by phone of course - and found that nothing about the mobile phone is as straightforward as it seems

is a style of computing where IT-related capabilities are provided “as a service”[1], allowing users to access technology-enabled services "in the cloud"[2] without knowledge of, expertise with, or control over the technology infrastructure that supports them[3]. According to the IEEE Computer Society it "is a paradigm in which information is permanently stored in servers on the Internet and cached temporarily on clients that include desktops, entertainment centers, table computers, notebooks, wall computers, handhelds, etc."[4]. Cloud computing is a general concept that incorporates software as a service, Web 2.0 and other recent, well-known technology trends, where the common theme is reliance on the Internet for satisfying the computing needs of the users. For example, Google Apps provides common business applications online that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data is stored on the servers.

About a year ago, I was at a geek breakfast in London with Steve Clayton and some other folk, including a few people from Microsoft. Steve and some other geeks were talking about "The Cloud". At the time Steve was making the transition from working in the UK Partner Division, to working in the "Software & Services" division of Microsoft, which is how the conversation came up. Right then and there I drew the cartoon above. Steve saw it, and right away asked me if he could use the picture for his business card, which he now does.

AT&T Inc., the biggest U.S. phone company, will offer corporate customers a service that delivers computer programs over the Internet. The so-called cloud-computing project allows businesses to run applications for managing Web sites and other tasks from five of AT&T's computing centers, the Dallas-based company said today in a statement. Clients don't have to store programs on their own servers, so they only pay for the computer time they use.

There appears to be a new trend in micro-blogging where services are focusing on letting members share how they feel versus just what they are doing. Services such as Twitter and Plurk have messages about things their users are doing and places they’re going, but these new services reveal the inner-most emotions of their users. One could say it’s like a modern day version of the mood ring. Here are some of these “networks for feelings.”

Starting with four basic questions (that you may be surprised to find you can't answer), Jonathan Drori looks at the gaps in our knowledge -- and specifically, what we don't about science that we might think we do.

Monday, antimalware developer, McAfee, released details on its new cloud-based defensive system, codenamed Artemis. As we've noted several times in the past, antimalware companies don't have an easy job, and the sheer number of virus variants that now spawn from even a single base infection threatens to overwhelm any company's ability to keep up. According to McAfee, the number of attacks observed in 2008 thus far (with 3.5 months to go) is larger than the total number of attacks in 2006 and 2007 combined. Given the financial incentives and corporate business model that has become prevalent in the malware industry, this number isn't likely to start heading downwards, either.

This site offers some fundamental principles/guidelines for visual storytelling and for the use of images in a narrative context. When you capture images, no matter whether they are still or moving images (i.e., photography or video and film), you select one frame - one slice of an implicitly continuous world - to show the audience. The frame makes the image limited and finite; depending on the composition of this frame, the camera angle, perspective, etc., the resulting image changes its look and can change its meaning. Note that the notion of composition comes mainly from still photography and painting and can't always be applied to motion pictures, since objects may move within the frame and the frame itself can move. Hence, this is meant to only be a starting point for exploring and building visual consciousness.

Online spaces such as Digg, World of Warcraft, and MySpace have been heralded as the new "third places" - venues that provide a sense of community beyond home and work. What does research into collaboration and game theory have to tell us about the potential of these new spaces? Can they, in fact, become the new place "where everybody knows your name"? And, in particular, what are the lessons to be learned for educational ventures? This talk was presented on November 9, 2006 as part of the 2006 NMC Regional Conference at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.
