In February 2009, Jim McKelvey wasn’t able to sell a piece of his glass art because he couldn’t accept a credit card as payment. Even though a majority of payments has moved to plastic cards, accepting payments from cards is still difficult, requiring long applications, expensive hardware, and an overly complex experience. Square was born a few days later right next to the old San Francisco US Mint. Today the Square team is focused on bringing immediacy, transparency, and approachability to the world of payments: an inherently social interaction each of us participates in daily. We’re starting with a limited beta and rolling out to everyone in early 2010.
Le festival international du film documentaire d’Amsterdam (IDFA) touche à sa fin. On retiendra le très bon accueil réservé à Prison Valley le nouveau web documentaire du team Arte TV + Upian (dont malheureusement je n’ai vu que le teaser)…
The world premiere of Prison Valley by the same team that created the landmark Gaza / Sderot web documentary last year was so full that they wouldn’t let me – yes ME, your dedicated Blogger – in!

Tom notes that if you have a small site that can be served by one box, any stack will do. If you have a medium site that needs hundreds of requests per second, go with what your team knows best. But beyond that, once you get the hundreds of thousands of queries per second, everyone builds a custom solution.
Oui, mais c'est tellement plus drôle de jouer les prophètes sur la fin des bases relationelles !

Today the Google Maps team is rolling out a number of refinements to the look and feel of our maps, the biggest such changes since we first launched about 4.7 years ago. In that time we've been steadily adding details like walkways, address labels, bus stops, new country coverage, and improved satellite imagery, but the look of the map hasn't changed much.

Managing News is both a product and a platform. Out of the box it can help your communications team manage a brand reputation, allow geographically dispersed clusters of NGOs stay on the same page, or act as a simple thematic news planet to share feeds with the world. It can also serve as a platform to build highly custom data aggregators that suck in everything from CSV to RDF to custom XML formats and that need unique workflows and visualizations. Managing News is built on Drupal and uses Features, which makes it highly extensible.
"... a website for runners, cyclists, hikers or outdoor enthusiasts who want to plan, save and share their routes."
The technical qualities of a website largely depend on how hard the web development team has worked on it. When qualifying a website on the code level, you need a different set of metrics than you did some years ago. This article is our attempt at specifying what metrics you should use.
The following is a highlight of a competitive analysis I did earlier this year when I was involved in designing software that would allow remote research teams to work together. While software is still a long way from replacing all in-person collaboration it's becoming easier for remote or mobile workers to stay productive and communicative with their team. Certainly the tools we have available today are a vast improvement over what I used when I first tried telecommuting 12 years ago!
