En France, les sites locaux forment pour l'instant un maquis dans lequel il est difficile de se retrouver. Nicolas Guillaume, blogueur de Besançon qui essaie de développer un projet d'agrégateur sous le nom de Regioo.fr, distingue trois types de sites locaux. D'abord les supports axés sur les services ou les bons plans, tels que PiliPili.com et Onvasortir.com.

La Fondation Mozilla a révélé l’existence d’un projet de messagerie évoluée baptisé Raindrop. Il s’agit d’une plateforme qui centralise divers types de contenus (courriels, flux RSS, Twitter, YouTube…), les classe et les hiérarchise. A l'image de Google Wave.

Via Stefan, a proposal from the WSO2 gang for an approach to decentralizing media types and removing the requirement for the registration process.

In a plain HTTP interaction, the Content-type and Accept headers carry information about the type of the data being transmitted and accepted, respectively. You’ve seen these media types in numerous examples, e.g. a typical request or response might have a Content-type header with the value application/xml.

A significant weakness of HTTP in my view is its dependence on the MIME standard for media type identification and on the related iana registry. This registry is a limited bottleneck that does not have the capacity to deal with the media type definition requirements of individual enterprises or domains. Machine-centric environments rely in a higher level of semantics than the human-centric environment of the Web. In order for machines to effectively exploit information, every unique schema of information needs to be standardised in a media type and for those media types to be individually identified. The number of media types grows as machines become more dominant in a distributed computing environment and as the number of distinct environments increases.

A RESTful, hypertext-driven system needs to enable clients to create a new resource that depends on three or more resources of different types. What's the best method to expose this capability?

Orthogonal to these strategies, which revolve around the nature and scale of content being created, there are those sites with look to aggregation methods across a variety of data types (from weblog feeds to traffic news streams). In addition, there are various services and technologies which can enhance the data and provide some plugin style publishing components (e.g. maps with events pinned on them) for hyperlocal sites to leverage.

In this book, we'll be using the freely available IBuySpy Portal as a starting point for our intranet development. We'll look at both why we are modifying an existing intranet application rather than creating our own, and why we choose the IBuySpy Portal in particular. Once we have covered the basics, we'll take a tour of its features, looking at the files and types it consists of, how they function and fit together, and general principles behind the site. Finally, we'll take a brief look at how security is handled.

Au fond, quand l'UMP pond une proposition de loi parce que TF1 parle d'un fait divers horrible, c'est normal. Quand l'UMP s'appuie sur des sondages foireux pour légiférer, c'est normal. Quand la droite et Sarkozy prennent la parole et font la loi au nom des "victimes", c'est normal. Tout cela s'appelle "être à l'écoute des français". S'appuyer sur des rumeurs, manipuler l'opinion avec Bouygues et Lagardère, c'est du bon gouvernement ; mais écouter la voix de 2 millions de types qui se traînent (...) pour aller protester contre la privatisation rampante de la Poste, ce n'est pas acceptable.

Although this is an absolutely free trial, Safari Books Online does require that you enter credit card information for security purposes. We will authenticate your card at the beginning of your trial period to determine if the card number is valid. We do this by issuing a "dummy" $1 charge. This charge is never actually applied to your credit card because it disappears as soon as we verify the authenticity of the card. Occasionally, depending on how your bank or credit card issuer handles these types of tests, customers may see this charge in their account, but it always drops off. If your free trial period ends and you have not cancelled your account, you are authorizing us to automatically charge your card the monthly fee (plus any applicable taxes) for the subscription type you have chosen.

Author Lisa Iwamoto explores the methods architects use to calibrate digital designs with physical forms. The book is organized according to five types of digital fabrication techniques: tessellating, sectioning, folding, contouring, and forming. Projects are shown both in their finished forms and in working drawings, templates, and prototypes, allowing the reader to watch the process of each fantastic construction unfold.
