Frivilligt att spåras av Google Analytics

19 Mar 2010 In: Övrigt

Google håller på att ta fram en “opt-out” webbläsarbaserad lösning för Google Analytics. Det innebär att en användare genom att installera en plug in eller add-on webb-baserad opt-out mekanism. Det innebär att du som användare genom att installera installera ett tillägg inte registreras och spåras av Google Analytics.

We concluded that the best approach would be to develop a global browser based plug-in to allow users to opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics. Our engineers are now hard at work finalizing and testing this opt-out functionality.

Twitter @anywhere

16 Mar 2010 In: Web 2.0

Twitter meddelade idag att de kommer att släppa sin @anywhere plattform som ska möjliggöra integration av Twitter i webbplatser. Du ska kunna följa och twittra utan att behöva gå till Twitter. Det ska också gå att logga in på webbplatsen via Twitter.

We’ve developed a new set of frameworks for adding this Twitter experience anywhere on the web. Soon, sites many of us visit every day will be able to recreate these open, engaging interactions providing a new layer of value for visitors without sending them to Twitter.com. Our open technology platform is well known and Twitter APIs are already widely implemented but this is a different approach because we’ve created something incredibly simple. Rather than implementing APIs, site owners need only drop in a few lines of javascript. This new set of frameworks is called @anywhere.

Internet nominerat till Nobels fredspris

15 Mar 2010 In: Övrigt

Internet har nominerats till Nobels fredspris.

New York Times har en intressant artikel om hur relationen mellan Apple och Google har förändrats sen lanseringen av Iphone.

Google and Apple had worked together to bring Google’s search and mapping services to the iPhone, the executives told the audience, and Mr. Schmidt joked that the collaboration was so close that the two men should simply merge their companies and call them “AppleGoo.”

(…) Today, such warmth is in short supply. Mr. Jobs, Mr. Schmidt and their companies are now engaged in a gritty battle royale over the future and shape of mobile computing and cellphones, with implications that are reverberating across the digital landscape.

In the last six months, Apple and Google have jousted over acquisitions, patents, directors, advisers and iPhone applications. Mr. Jobs and Mr. Schmidt have taken shots at each other’s companies in the media and in private exchanges with employees.

Apple believes that devices like smartphones and tablets should have tightly controlled, proprietary standards and that customers should take advantage of services on those gadgets with applications downloaded from Apple’s own App Store.

Google, on the other hand, wants smartphones to have open, nonproprietary platforms so users can freely roam the Web for apps that work on many devices. Google has long feared that rivals like Microsoft or Apple or wireless carriers like Verizon could block access to its services on devices like smartphones, which could soon eclipse computers as the primary gateway to the Web. Google’s promotion promotion of Android is, essentially, an effort to control its destiny in the mobile world.

Web 2.0 Adoption Curve, 2009–2015

9 Jan 2010 In: Web 2.0

Misslyckande och besvikelse. Det är vad som väntar de flesta företag och organisationer som försöker använda sig av webb 2.0 under 2010. Detta enligt Socialmedia.biz , ett webbplats som inriktat sig på att bevaka sociala medier och den sociala webben.

Socialmedia.biz hävdar att utvecklingen av webb 2.0 har klara likheter med de faser som fanns under IT-bubblan. Baserat på detta har de tagit fram Web 2.0 Adoption Curve, 2009–2015.

2010 – Most Web 2.0 initiatives will fall short of expec­ta­tions, which always con­tain some kind of result tied to time. Because enthu­si­asts do not under­stand the appli­ca­tion of the dis­rup­tive tech­nol­ogy, they make false assump­tions, and ini­tia­tives are not suc­cess­ful, so they are cur­tailed in a clas­sic back­lash.
[via socialmedia.biz]

Inte förrän 2014 kommer webb 2.0 att slå igenom på bred front inom företagen. Då sker det eftersom det kommer att finnas kompetens inom området och företagen uppfattar att de får ett bestående värde av sin investering.

MT inspirerat av WordPress?

7 Jan 2010 In: Applikationer

Six Apart har släppt Movable Type 5 idag. Administrationsgränssnittet har tycks vara inspirerat av Wordpress, något som Bloggingpro har uppmärksammat och upprörts av.

There is just too much resemblance to even bother putting both next to each other and point out all the similarities. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
To say that I am flabbergasted would be an understatement. I can only hope that this is a linkbait and buzz strategy to create some momentum and Six Apart already has a new dashboard design for a soon to be announced MT 5.1. If not, I guess… ‘GPL FTW!’ ?

WordPress 2.9 ute

19 Dec 2009 In: Övrigt

wordpressNu finns WordPress 2.9 ute för nedladdning.

  • Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
  • Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.
  • Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.
  • Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).
