Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya, widely known as Africa's largest slum, remains a blank spot on the map. Without basic knowledge of the geography and resources of Kibera it is impossible to have an informed discussion on how to improve the lives of residents. This November, young Kiberans create the first public digital map of their own community.

" Frédéric CAVAZZA Un pas de plus vers le web social en temps réel avec Cliqset 4 commentaires Publié par Frédéric CAVAZZA le 2 octobre 2009 dans Actualité Depuis le rachat cet été de FriendFeed par Facebook et la publication du code source de Tornado, le serveur qui va avec, nous pensions que le créneau des services d’agrégation sociale était bouché. Que nenni car Cliqset ambitionne de changer tout cela avec sa nouvelle version qui vient de sortie en beta : It’s Here! Cliqset’s Real-Time Community. Pour faire simple, Cliqset est un service d’agrégation qui permet de compiler votre activité sur les différents médias sociaux (70 services en tout), de les retraiter en un format standardiser (Activity Streams) et de le rendre accessible (au travers d’API) dans un flux unique et temps réel."

When searching for something on the web we’ve all had the experience of clicking on a link in a search engine’s results page only to find that the page no longer exists. If there’s no information on that page other than a default error message, the most likely course of action on the user’s part is to press the back button and try the next search result.
As site authors we can make our error pages more meaningful to our users, so that an error becomes an opportunity to bring the user back into a site and show them content that’s relevant to what they’re looking for. In this article I’ll show you how to do just that.
The vision for Portable Contacts has been around for a long time. Sites large and small share the goal of providing users a secure way to access their address books and friends lists without having to take their credentials or scrape their data.

As many iPhone and iPod touch owners have discovered, Apple's iTunes App Store has many flaws which render it useless to the common user. Apple has chosen to allow a multitude of ridiculous, worthless, poorly-represented applications through its "strict" screening process, nearly all written by mediocre programmers with a dream of getting rich quick. Many of these programmers game the reviews system, misrepresent their application in the description, and generally try to swindle the honest buyer. Applications generally do not cost much, but small fees add up. The iPhone/iPod community has wasted so much money on these programs, an epidemic has taken hold where people have simply stopped buying apps they aren't certain of so they don't find themselves purchasing yet another waste of a program.

MusicBrainz is a community music metadatabase that attempts to create a comprehensive music information site. You can use the MusicBrainz data either by browsing this web site, or you can access the data from a client program — for example, a CD player program can use MusicBrainz to identify CDs and provide information about the CD, about the artist or about related information. You can also use the MusicBrainz Tagger to automatically identify and clean up the metadata tags in your digital music collections. Find out more in the introduction.
