What Cloud Computing Really Means

Cloud computing is all the rage. "It's become the phrase du jour," says Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring, echoing many of his peers. The problem is that (as with Web 2.0) everyone seems to have a different definition.

As a metaphor for the Internet, "the cloud" is a familiar cliché, but when combined with "computing," the meaning gets bigger and fuzzier. Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: basically virtual servers available over the Internet. Others go very broad, arguing anything you consume outside the firewall is "in the cloud," including conventional outsourcing.

Architectures of Participation: The Next Big Thing

Well, it seems to be finally happening. The Web 2.0 sites are starting to bubble up -- no pun intended -- to the very top of the traffic charts, with MySpace and then YouTube eclipsing each other in weeks. The Guardian reported yesterday that YouTube is now commanding 3.9% of all Internet traffic, making it the #1 site on the Internet. That's more than impressive given that they only started out in February, 2005. I've been covering MySpace and YouTube in my last two pieces (one, two) because they in particular seem to represent leading edge best practices in the social architectures of large-scale public Web sites. Ostensibly very "Web 2.0", both MySpace and YouTube aggressively "harness the collective intelligence" of their user's combined contributions as their primary offering to the world. In this sense, they have put their architectures of participation at the core of their product design. And wouldn't you know it, it's made them both leaders on the world stage.

Where to find the world's hottest startups

Where to find the world's hottest startups

From Aussie blog mining to Finnish friend finding, we've located the planet's most innovative new sites.

(Business 2.0) -- The editors have identified the Best business ideas in the world, which will appear here in a series throughout the next month. Check back daily for updates.

The term "Web 2.0" is used so widely these days, you'd think it was taking over the globe. And you'd be right.

The catchall phrase - used to describe websites that thrive on what their users make of them is no longer limited to the United States.

As Web 2.0 success stories like Flickr and Del.icio.us prove, this kind of technology is dirt-cheap to implement and borrows data freely available from other websites. A guy in his bedroom in Chile can come up with a novel way to navigate global classified ads - and, in fact, one has.

A lot of these global entrepreneurs are simply copying the biggest ideas in America's Web 2.0 canon. For every Digg.com, the popular U.S. site that lets readers nominate and vote on the most important news stories, there's a Yigg.de (the German version of the same).

Douglas Engelbart's HyperScope 1.0 Launched

Wed, 06 Sep 2006 03:42:09 GMT

clipper's remarks: What is it?

"HyperScope is described as "a high-performance thought processor that enables you to navigate, view, and link to documents in sophisticated ways." This is seen as the first (renewed) step towards Doug Engelbart's larger vision for an Open Hyperdocument System - only this time round it'll be based on Web technologies."

September 05, 2006

Brad Neuberg has announced the release of HyperScope 1.0, a Web app based on tech legend Douglas Engelbart's 1968 NLS/Augment (oNLine System). Engelbart and team have been working on Hyperscope since March this year, in a project funded by the National Science Foundation. Its aim is to rebuild portions of Douglas Engelbart's NLS system on the web, using current Web technologies such as AJAX and DHTML.

The project team members are Doug Engelbart (visionary), Brad Neuberg (software architect and implementor), Jonathan Cheyer (who knows more about Augment than anyone else under 35), Christina Engelbart (the bridge between the old and the new) and Eugene Eric Kim (project liaison and collaboration guru).

Clipmarks is one of these online applications that one gets easily used to, because it's extremely well thought out, developed and executed. The fact that it's free doesn't hurt a bit and one unknowingly starts using it... only to quickly realize just how incredibly useful, helpful and cool this web 2.0 tool is and how it becomes something that impossible to stop using.

Clipmarks - Phenomenal Free Service

July 29, 2006 1:56 AM PST

First - the concept. Clipmarks allows the user to easily grab (clip) any content from just about any web site, both graphical and text, simply by clicking on it and easily store it online for future reference. That includes both static and dynamic content. Before you say 'so what?', it also has a number of ways how that information can be organized. Not only can you have a clipmark attributed to one of more Collections of your choice, but you can also tag each clipmark to your heart's content. Thus finding relevant info is a breeze. That's what separates it completely from a basic concept of bookmarking, although it obviously accomplishes the same task exceptionally well.

30 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do on the Internet

Trend Buzz, Reality TV, and more...

Go Back in Time

Wonder what Yahoo looked like during the dot-com boom? Dial up the Wayback Machine, and you can view cached copies of popular Web sites dating back to 1996. For quick nostalgia trips, add a Wayback bookmarklet to your Firefox or Opera toolbar or Internet Explorer favorites; clicking the button will call up the archive of the site you're viewing.

Give Google a Face-Lift

Google offers more than a dozen services, but most are hidden. The GoogleX interface makes all of Google's goodies--such as Gmail, Froogle, Maps, and more--accessible via a nifty Mac OS X-like toolbar. Originally designed by a Google researcher, the toolbar disappeared shortly after being posted on the Google Labs site (most likely due to objections by Apple), but not before some plucky Netizens saved a copy for your use.

Yahoo releases free/open source UI library
Premshree sez, "Yahoo! just released the Yahoo! User Interface Library, under a BSD license. From the website:"

The Yahoo! User Interface Library is a set of utilities and controls, written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques such as DOM scripting, HTML and AJAX. The UI Library Utilities facilitate the implementation of rich client-side features by enhancing and normalizing the developer's interface to important elements of the browser infrastructure (such as events, in-page HTTP requests and the DOM). The Yahoo UI Library Controls produce visual, interactive user interface elements on the page with just a few lines of code and an included CSS file. All the components in the Yahoo! User Interface Library have been released as open source under a BSD license and are free for all uses.

JavaScript opens doors to browser-based attacks

JavaScript opens doors to browser-based attacks

By Joris Evers
Staff Writer, CNET News.com

Published: July 28, 2006, 12:44 PM PDT

Security researchers have found a way to use JavaScript to map a home or corporate network and attack connected servers or devices, such as routers or printers.

The malicious JavaScript can be embedded in a Web page and will run without warning when the page is viewed in any ordinary browser, the researchers said. It will bypass security measures such as a firewall because it runs through the user's browser, they said.

"We have discovered a technique to scan a network, fingerprint all the Web-enabled devices found and send attacks or commands to those devices," said Billy Hoffman, lead engineer at Web security specialist SPI Dynamics. "This technique can scan networks protected behind firewalls such as corporate networks."

A successful attack could have significant impact. For example, it could scan your home network, detect a router model and then send it commands to enable wireless networking and turn off all encryption, Hoffman said. Or it could map a corporate network and launch attacks against servers that will appear to come from the inside, he said.

We the Media: Now in Paperback--Citizen Journalists Reinvent the News

We the Media: Now in Paperback--Citizen Journalists Reinvent the News

"When people can express themselves, they will," says award-winning newspaper columnist and blogger Dan Gillmor. And with today's readily available, inexpensive tools of modern digital communication--things like laptops, cell phones, and digital cameras--average folks are indeed expressing themselves, in real time and to a worldwide audience. These readers-turned-reporters serve as a global fact-checking posse and lend a uniquely personal and powerful perspective to world events that is changing the way we make and consume news.

Now available in paperback, Gillmor's highly acclaimed We the Media (O'Reilly, US $16.99) explores the undeniable media shift that is taking place as grassroots journalism--by the people, for the people--grows in strength, complexity, and power.

"Gillmor argues persuasively that Big Media is losing its monopoly on the news, thanks to the Internet--that 'citizen journalists' of all stripes, in their independent, unfiltered reports, are transforming the news from a lecture to a conversation. He's onto something."
--Bill Moyers

Gillmor shows how anyone can produce news coverage using personal blogs, internet chat groups, email, and a host of other tools. He sends a wake-up call to newsmakers--politicians, business executives, and celebrities--and the marketers and PR folks who promote them. He explains how to successfully play by the rules of this new era and shift from "control" to "engagement." And he makes a strong case to his fellow journalists that, in the face of numerous internet-fueled news vehicles, they must change or become irrelevant.
