BBC - Digital Revolution Blog: Rushes Sequences - Biz Stone and Evan Williams interview - USA (Video)

by karlcow

there was a popular blogger and he also had a Twitter account and he was complaining that his cable was out, and he was I'm going to write about this cable company, Compass and how terrible they are and its going to be the number one search result in, in search engines for year to come. And they were monitoring Twitter search for any mentions of they're brand name. And they saw that within a few minutes and they replied to him on Twitter, and they said what seems to be the problem, they were going to send a van out to your house. And they had his cable fixed in like 30 minutes, so the next day the blog post was, Compass has great customer service, and it was like a, you know a complete reversal and we were like wow, they're really smart about it,

*soupir* Ce que la marque a fait est un coup médiatique pas une réponse qui est « scalable » Un compte twitter pour une marque ne va pas remplacer le service SAV (avec des centaines de personnes derrière le téléphone). La qualité du service et la réponse de la marque étaient bonnes car elles étaient un coup unique, et réalisées par une personne du service Communications de l'entreprise. Imaginons maintenant les milliers d'appels quotidiens pour une grande marque. Twitter ? Des centaines de comptes twitter ? Des centaines de gens pour y répondre. Baisse de la qualité et du service, baisse de la croyance en l'opération marketing, retour à la case départ. Qu'est-ce qui manque ? La communauté ! Un social media n'existe que si la communauté devient autonome.

lxml vs. ElementTree « michael schurter

by karlcow

While lxml has some excellent benchmarks about the speed of lxml.etree vs. ElementTree, I wanted to run some tests that were as close as possible to my own use case (fairly simple multi-megabyte XML files).

Implementers' Draft: Portable Contacts 1.0 Draft C

by karlcow

This API defines a language- and platform- neutral protocol for Consumers to request address book, profile, and friends-list information from Service Providers. As a protocol, it is intended to be easy to understand and implement, either as a Service Provider or Consumer, using any language or platform of choice. It is also intended to be implemented by both individuals and small services as well as large providers, in any case where a service contains data about who a user knows and wishes to make that information portable, under the user's control.

Help Flood Victims in the Philippines

by alamat (via)
This will be short. I’m sending out an appeal to the world. As I write this article, thousands of people are still trapped in the floodwaters of typhoon Ondoy—or in relocation sites that have no food and drinking water. (Just in case you don’t know anything about what’s happening in Metro Manila and Rizal

Cocoa with Love: WhereIsMyMac, a Snow Leopard CoreLocation project

by karlcow

In Snow Leopard, you can ask for the computer's location. Without a GPS, how accurate could that be? The answer in my case is: very accurate. In this post, I'll show you how to write a CoreLocation app for the Mac that shows the current location in Google Maps, so you can see exactly where your computer thinks it is.

Case Study: NPR.org — AIGA | the professional association for design

by karlcow

We learned a lot through experimentation with a working prototype; we had a staging server set up that mirrored the actual site and was pulling from live databases. This enabled editors to publish actual content via the prototype, allowing us to identify bugs in the design and editorial workflows before launch.

I assume this is such an esoteric bug that I don't need to create recommendations on fixing it. I just wanted to document it in case someone else comes across this bug

UserScript Writing 101 – Manuel of Things to learn - Userscripts.org

by decembre
The Order of Things to Learn Look to the "Resources" section for places to learn about these. 1. HTML. Hypertext Markup Language. Not the same "language" as JavaScript. This is a markup language, meaning it's a bunch of text that is meant to represent some type of structure, in this case, a web page. 2. XML. Extensible Markup Language. In case you didn't realize, HTML itself is a type of "XML". Learning XML is important because many popular websites (YouTube, Facebook, Last.fm) use XML to interact with data. Since you already know HTML by this point, understanding XML should be cake. 3. CSS. Cascading Style Sheets. This is the way HTML (should be) stylized. You'll want to learn this. 4. JavaScript. Learn all the basics: data types, functions, JavaScript's native functions like prompt, alert, etc. 5. The Greasemonkey Extras. Like I said, Greasmonkey == JavaScript, with a lot of extras. A specific page listing the API's can be found here.

# Download the desired .img file # Install the usb-imagewriter package * If your release does not include this, download it from Oliver's PPA * If imagewriter fails to launch, you may need to install python glade2 support. Install the python-glade2 package or Run sudo apt-get install python-glade2 * If your release does not include it and you are running 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope then run this command from the console: o sudo apt-get install usb-imagewriter # Open Applications -> Accessories -> Image Writer * KDE users will find this in Applications -> Utilities -> Image Writer * on some usb-imagewriter versions (console command: imagewriter) the application fails to write if the image path contains blank spaces, exiting with "IndexError: list index out of range". Also, in case you prefer to launch it from the command line, don't forget to sudo it, otherwise it will give a permission error. # Insert your flash media # Select the downloaded file and flash device, and click "Write to Device" # Remove your device when the operation is complete

Creative Review - We are open

by karlcow & 1 other
Pete Hellicar and Joel Gethin Lewis set up their business formally earlier this year, though have worked together on projects over the last couple of years and known each other for longer. At the centre of their business strategy is open source, with all works they create being placed online for others to download and use or adapt after they are finished. You might imagine that this approach would cause anxiety in some of the advertising agencies or brands they have been talking to, but surprisingly this is not the case. “We say everything upfront,” says Lewis. “A lot of people said to me ‘no-one will want to open source their projects, you’re crazy’, but no-one’s had a problem with it so far.”

Re: POST from Julian Reschke on 2009-08-16 (www-tag@w3.org from August 2009)

by karlcow

No, using POST to add to a collection is the right thing to do. An alternative is PUT, in case you want to allow the client to specify the name of the new sub resource.

Tokyo Tyrant: network interface of Tokyo Cabinet

by karlcow

Tokyo Tyrant is a package of network interface to the DBM called Tokyo Cabinet. Though the DBM has high performance, you might bother in case that multiple processes share the same database, or remote processes access the database. Thus, Tokyo Tyrant is provided for concurrent and remote connections to Tokyo Cabinet. It is composed of the server process managing a database and its access library for client applications.

Creative Commons - Quelques scripts GreaseMonkey pour Flickr

by decembre
Du fait que je recherche beaucoup d’images sur Flickr, pour gagner du temps j’ai fait quelques scripts. Ces scripts agissent par GreaseMonkey, une extension de Firefox qui permet d’executer du Javascript. Le premier me permet d’avoir une phrase toute faite contenant l’auteur de l’image et la licence, avec des liens pour soutenir l’auteur et les Creative Commons. La phrase ressemblera à : « Image par <auteur> sous <licence>. ». Le second permet de cocher par defaut la case de recherche Creative Commons lors d’une recherche avancée avec Flickr. Les scripts ne sont pas particulièrement soignés mais fonctionnels tant que Flickr ne change pas la structure de son site. Je les met dans le domaine public vu le peu de code.
