Looking for open source CMS and portal software options
2008-02-22 05:41:00
Over the past year or so we’ve seen a definite increase in the number of questions we get about open source content management and portal software at NetRelations. I’m not quite sure of the reason for this trend, but nevertheless it’s refreshing to see people beginning to “think different” in the otherwise very Microsoft-dominated country that Sweden is.It may be a welcome change, but I find choosing a CMS incredibly difficult, and evaluating them is very time consuming and often frustrating. There are hundreds of options, one worse than the other. To date I have never come across a CMS that doesn’t have serious flaws. Even if a CMS looks good at a glance, once you start digging deeper you will always encounter problems with usability, accessibility, and front-end code.Content Management SystemsA couple of times in the past I have asked my readers for CMS suggestions, but it’s been a while now. Last time we ended up using Plone, which was a real pain to work with. I do...

Make sure your website works with or without www
2008-02-22 05:37:00
Being a little lazy at times, I tend to skip typing “www.” before the domain name when I enter a URL in my web browser. No, it doesn’t save me a whole lot of typing, but bear with me here. Most of the time it works fine and I end up on the site I expect.But it really surprises me how often typing in a domain name without “www.” in front results in one of the following:My browser displays an error message such as “Safari can’t open the page “http://example.com/” because it can’t find the server “example.com”.”My browser finds a server but nothing happens because there is no website configured.I am redirected to a parked domain.I get a “Directory listing denied” message.This happens with all sorts of organisations, from the tiniest single-page websites to huge online presences of multi-national corporations.You can add “www.” in front of the domain name and all is fine. But should you really have to do that? What I think should happen is that the web ...

Yahoo outlines golden parachutes for employees
2008-02-20 06:26:00
Yahoo laid out its golden parachute plans for all of its full-time employees Tuesday, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing outlines two change-in-control severance plans, should the Internet search pioneer find itself under new ownership, aka Microsoft.Yahoo, which is facing an unsolicited buyout bid from Microsoft, will offer both full-time employees and executives anywhere from four months to two years of severance pay, depending on their job title.The parachute, or cushion, will kick into effect should that employee lose his job within two years after a new owner takes over, should she get terminated without cause, or if the employee decides it's time to leave for "good reason."Jerry Yang, Yahoo chief executive and co-founder, is also eligible for the severance package. But for Yang, his golden parachute would only net him $2 at the most, given he only earns an annual salary of $1, according to PaidContent.Yahoo said the severance packages are desi...

Common Reasons a Website is Unsuccessful
2008-02-15 08:25:00
If you are planning or building a new website, you are obviously hoping for some type of success. Of course, success can mean any number of things, and each website’s success should be determined by the needs and desires of its owners and creators. Some websites exist strictly to provide information to visitors. Others aim to sell products. Some exist solely to provide information about the services of a business. As you can see, there is no one equation for success online, but there are a number of common causes for failure with a website. Here is a look at ten possible things that can keep you from achieving anything significant with a website.1. Lack of a PurposeWhether your website represents your business, or whether your business is a website, it needs a purpose. Website s that represent brick and mortar business will typically exist to support and aid the business in meeting its objectives, and hopefully that business already has a clearly defined purpose.Whatever the situat...

Yahoo’s oneConnect: One Mobile App to Rule Them All
2008-02-13 05:18:00
Today at the Mobile World Congress in Spain, Yahoo announced a mobile app called oneConnect that will be available in the second quarter as part of the upcoming release of Yahoo Go 3.0. I have not seen a demo of this myself, but it sounds like a much-needed integration of messaging and social apps. OneConnect will pull together contacts from your mobile phone, Yahoo address book, and social networks, including:BeboDopplrFacebookFlickrFriends terHi5Last.fmLinkedInMyspaceTwitterYou will be able to see whether your contacts are online, recent messages, status updates, uploaded photos, and other activity streams for each one. Of course, you will also be able to send them messages via e-mail, IM, and SMS. The mobile app will save SMS and IM conversations as a single thread, even if you are texting and the other person is using Yahoo Messenger. The app also supports AIM, MSN Messenger, and Google Talk.A feature called “Pulse” will give you the most recent updates of all your contacts a...

Firefox 3 Beta 3 Released - Try It If You Dare
2008-02-13 05:05:00
The current production release of Firefox is version 2, but developer releases of version 3 have been available since November 2007. Today Firefox released the beta 3 version of Firefox 3 . You can download it here.I love version 3 of Firefox since most of the memory leak issues on Macs seem to have been fixed (I added it to my list of top applications in December based on that). But a lot of key plugins don’t work yet on Firefox 3, and a lot of sites break when viewed through it as well. Because of that, I’ve switched back to version 2 for now. A list of known issues is here.Firefox currently has around 17% market share among browsers, second only to Internet Explorer.

Ask and Digg Team Up for Big News
2008-02-07 08:34:00
Silicon Alley Insider reports that Ask has just launched a news site called Big News in partnership with Digg that, from the looks of things, only partially incorporates social news functionality.There were rumors just earlier this week that Digg was white labeling its technology for Ask. However, Big News is more akin to Google News or TechMeme than to Digg. The bulk of the news items collected and displayed from around the web are identified algorithmically, not socially.Digg’s only clear influence on Big News shows up in the footer of the site, where you can view the current top five Diggs and five stories collected by Big News algorithmically that haven’t been Dugg yet. This real estate will help drive traffic to Digg and encourage the identification of interesting news stories. What does Ask get in return? That’s not altogether clear, although SAI hears that “Digg ratings factor into the site’s algorithm.”

Prevent Boss From Snooping On Your Google Search Queries
2008-02-06 07:22:00
There are chances that someone is secretly spying on your Google search tracks for various reasons. For example, the employer may monitor your Google search habits to know if you are looking for jobs elsewhere while the local ISP may be collecting your Google queries with the purpose of selling that data to large analytics companies.You cannot prevent these people from watching you because Google appends the search queries to the URL without encryption. So when you type "Jobs New York" in the Google search box, it returns a search page with the URL google.com/search?q=jobs+new+york and that makes data collection fairly simple.There’s however a workaround - just use Google with a mask that comes indirectly from Google itself.The following 10 websites are all hosted on the same server as Google.com and they are exact replicas of the main Google website - you cannot find a single difference unless you look at your browser address bar.And the URL names of these websites ("ABN Amro Ban...

AOL acquires affiliate network to boost ad platform
2008-02-06 07:15:00
AOL has acquired buy.at, a leading affiliate marketing network backed by VC house DFJ Esprit, reports TechCrunch UK. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but well-placed sources say the deal is worth in the region of $150 million (£75 million). Although launched in the UK in 2002, buy.at now has a much bigger US operation, which is what attracted AOL’s interest. buy.at will now operate as a wholly-owned business unit of Advertising.com, part of AOL’s Platform -A organization, to which it added four other companies in the last year including Tacoda, AdTech, Third Screen Media and Quigo. Unlike previous deals which were more about ad serving, the buy.at deal is about getting closer relationships with retailers. AOL is understood to have tried to buy another affiliate network, Tradedoubler, a year ago but the deal foundered with the latter’s shareholders, who couldn’t agree on price.

Internet radio hits the mainstream
2008-02-05 12:28:00
More than 8 million people in the UK listen to web-based radio services every week and nearly 2 million download podcasts on a weekly basis, according to a survey that suggests internet radio has hit the mainstream.Commissioned by the industry's audience research body Rajar, the Ipsos Mori survey last autumn found that more than 12 million people have listened to the radio online and 8.1 million listen every week either through live streaming or "listen again" services.Ipsos Mori found that 75% of users do not listen to less live radio as a result of listening again online, with 50% tuning into new shows as a result.The same was true of podcasting, with one-fifth of respondents saying they now listen to more live radio and nearly one-third saying they listen to new radio shows after sampling them via podcasts.Only 8% of those surveyed said they listened to less radio because of the availability of podcasts.Of the 4.3 million who have downloaded podcasts, around 1.87 million people ...

Web 3.0 is all about rank and recommendation
2008-02-05 12:10:00
We had a real-life web-lebrity in the Guardian's offices last week: Martin Stiksel, one third of the brains behind the music recommendation site Last.fm. He's laidback and rather unassuming, but has the kind of enthusiasm and insight about his company that is often missing in serial executives. He'd probably say that's because he always did it for the music not the money, but seems to have ended up doing rather well with both.Last.fm has just signed Universal - the last of the four major music labels to partner - so the site can offer live streaming of full-length music on the site. It's the latest and most logical part of the Last.fm pie, and a rare example of a site that has legally, and successfully, combined music sharing with discussion and community.Being bought by the firm last year was an enormous boost to the start-up community in the UK. (Let's remind ourselves the purchase price was £140m, lest we soon decline into an economic abyss and have to wait another six yea...

Yahoo’s Zimbra Releases v5.0 with BlackBerry Support, New Ajax Features
2008-02-05 06:32:00
Zimbra, an open-source alternative to Microsoft Exchange Server that was acquired by Yahoo this past September, has released version 5.0 of its collaboration suite. The upgrades are various and wide-reaching, with support finally here for the BlackBerry and several improvements made to Zimbra’s browser-based email client.In addition to managing their email, calendars and contacts, customers can now use Zimbra’s browser-based client to instant message, collaborate on documents via wiki, and share files. Yahoo search functionality, and local search in particular, has been integrated into the browser-based client as well, enabling users to search Yahoo Maps from within their email interface.Zimbra’s desktop client, which was soft launched last March and emulates much of the browser-based client, now supports non-Zimbra email accounts (like Yahoo Mail and Gmail, or any POP/IMAP account). However, desktop support for instant messaging, document collaboration, and file sharing has y...

Technology And Time Management
2008-02-05 06:29:00
“We have neither the means nor the desire to stop the march of technological progress.”-Charles Tillinghast, Jr.There are two parameters for doing any activity: the quality of the activity and the time that you take to complete the activity. There is an important parameter called ‘cycle time’, which is the minimum time that you need to successfully complete a task with out sacrificing the quality. In the context of the growing competition, you need to compress the time that you take to complete any task. We cannot take the same time that we took a few years ago.Time being a very limited resource we need to do lot more things with in less time. We may not have the time that we had at our disposal a few years ago. Just think how much time we took to construct a house; what was the length of a movie film, the time we took to prepare our lunch, etc! Do we have that much time now?Hence there is no other alternative except to reduce the time duration for completing any activity. T...

Podcasts Taking Off (Again): eMarketer
2008-02-05 06:23:00
Some interesting new figures have been released by eMarketer today that shows that podcasts are taking off in both traffic and revenue, and the outlook is even better again.The general view on podcasting is that it had been passed by as video became the hot vertical, particularly as earlier iPod’s gave way to new players that supported video as well as audio.These figures would suggest that there’s a lot of growth still to be had in the podcasting sector.According to eMarketer, the total podcast audience in the United States was 18.5 million in 2007 and will rise to 65 million in 2012. “Active listeners” (defined as people who download more than one podcast) were 6.5 million in 2007 and expected to be 25 million in 2012.The revenue figures will bring a smile to any VC firm with investments in the sector. Advertising in 2007 hit $165 million and is expected to grow to $435 million in 2012.One interesting aside was eMarketer attributing the growth to podcasts being promoted by...

Google reaction regarding Microsoft’s proposed purchase of Yahoo
2008-02-05 06:07:00
Here’s what’s really going on:1. Google doesn’t mind this deal going through at all. Google knows they will be able to outrun a “Microhoo.” Why do they know that? Because they’ve been able to outrun them both separately. As I said on Channel 5 news on Friday night: put two turkeys together and you don’t get an eagle.2. Google stands to gain HUGE by slowing down this deal. Every month longer that this deal takes is tens of millions in Google’s pockets. Why? Well, the real race today isn’t for search. Isn’t for email. Isn’t for IM. It’s for ownership of your mobile phone. I met the guy who runs China’s telecom last week in Davos. He’s seeing six million new people get a cell phone in China every month. So, every month that Microsoft and Yahoo will be stuck in some courtroom arguing out why this is a good deal means money in the bank for Google as they close mobile phone deal after mobile phone deal.3. Email is not where the money is. Google knows this. So, ...

Microsoft bid is better than stagnating, say Yahoo insiders
2008-02-05 05:56:00
Sometimes change--any change--is good.For a company hobbled by cultural and management problems, a $44.6 billion hostile takeover bid from Microsoft may be just the kick in the pants Yahoo needs to rejoin the fight against Google--and potentially Microsoft.That's at least some of the sentiment inside Yahoo in the days following Microsoft's unsolicited buyout offer. Many Yahoo employees don't want to join Microsoft's workforce, but they see the bid as a catalyst for change, one way or another. As a result, the mood is surprisingly buoyant and business as usual among some Yahoo executives, according to one source familiar with the company."Most people want to win and something bold needs to happen, so this could be the catalyst to make that happen sooner one way or another," said a source inside the company. "Either Yahoo steps up and does something bold, or Microsoft takes over. If Jerry's smart he could use this as a rallying cry."Still, you could say the mood at Yahoo is mixed...

Best Way To Estimate Daily Keyword Volume With Wordze
2008-02-02 12:07:00
One of the hardest thing to estimate with any keyword tool is the actual keyword volume that you’re going to be able to get if you achieve a #1 ranking in Google for that keyword. During the past few weeks, I have been trying to take a close look at traffic I get on my sites against what Wordze is saying, and I think that I have a pretty good formula that you can use to estimate this.To be 100% honest, as I have looked closely at the numbers, the count column in Wordze isn’t giving me the consistency I would like to see. Luckily, the estimated column is. Ok here’s what you need to do to get a pretty good estimate of traffic levels. You will take what’s in the estimated column and divide it by 30. This is because the estimated column is monthly, and we want to calculate daily.After that, you are going to take the new number and divide it by 4. This is because Wordze is trying to estimate traffic across a bunch of different search engines, including all of the different versio...

Social Search is Coming
2008-02-02 06:50:00
In a recent interview with VentureBeat, Marissa Mayer, Google's VP of Search Products & User Experience, spoke of Google's interest in social search and their future plans in that area. Social search, which may be the defining quality of Google's next generation of search products, is any search that is aided by a social interactions or connections. Offline, social search happens everyday. For example, when you ask a friend for a recommendation on a movie to see or a good restaurant, you're essentially doing a verbal social search. Online, social search has not been incorporated in Google's search results yet, but Mayer says that will change in time.Privacy IssuesIntegrating social search into search results is tricky, says Mayer, because people view search as a private activity. Most people just aren't that comfortable letting their whole network of friends know what they have been searching for. Google knows that they must respect that privacy, so they would want the use...

2008-02-02 06:40:00
In most industries, a merger of two major companies would cause everyone else to panic over a decline in competition.But in the case of the online advertising market, advertising and media executives said on Friday that they liked the prospect of a combined Microsoft and Yahoo. Google, they said, has become so dominant in its grip over the online audience that the merger might be the only way to produce a competitor strong enough to face off with it.“It’s so reductive to say ‘Google is evil’ or ‘Google owns everyone,’ ” said Sarah Chubb, president of CondéNet, the digital arm of Condé Nast. “But what it comes down to is, competition is good for everyone in the marketplace.”And competition, Ms. Chubb and other executives said, would surely be increased if Google’s foes bulk up. Despite more than a year of courting advertisers and media companies, Microsoft continues to lag Google in online ad sales and in its share of the consumer search market. Yahoo, once a pr...

slams web service in Egypt, India due to cable cut

A breakdown in an international undersea cable network has badly disrupted internet links to India and Egypt .Egypt's Telecommunications Ministry said a communications cable in the Mediterranean was cut, disrupting 70 per cent of the country's internet network.The ministry said in a statement it was not known how the cable was cut but that services would probably take several days to return to normal.India reported serious disruptions to its services and one Indian internet service provider linked the problem to the Egyptian outage."There has been a cable cut on several cable systems in Alexandria, Egypt which has impacted internet connectivity in India," Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL), an internet service provider, said in a statement.VSNL said its service had been "largely restored" by diverting to another cable.India said it had lost more than half of its capacity."There has been a 50 to 60 per cent cut in bandwidth," Rajesh Chharia, president of the internet Service Providers...

9 Ways to Gauge Your Visitors’ Experience
2007-12-26 08:18:00
One of the most important factors in the success of a website is the visitors’ opinions and experiences. A site that is liked by visitors will typically be successful, while those that aren’t liked by visitors will struggle. A challenge that all website owners face is determining how visitors feel about their experience on the site. In most cases you won’t have the option to speak directly with visitors to get their opinions.Fortunately, there are a number of items that can help you to find out what visitors think of your site. Sometimes you’ll have to interpret the results, as a number of outside influences can factor in as well. Here are 9 factors that I feel can help a website owner to understand the opinions of visitors.Bounce RateThe bounce rate is a calculation that shows what percentage of visitors are leaving the site after viewing only one page. For example, if 100 visitors come to a website and 40 of them leave before visiting a 2nd page on the site, the bounce rat...

Technology in 2008
2007-12-24 05:09:00
Three fearless predictions1. Surfing will slowPEERING into Tech.view’s crystal ball, the one thing we can predict with at least some certainty is that 2008 will be the year we stop taking access to the internet for granted. The internet is not about to grind to a halt, but as more and more users clamber aboard to download music, video clips and games while communicating incessantly by e-mail, chat and instant messaging, the information superhighway sometimes crawls with bumper-to-bumper traffic.The biggest road-hog remains spam (unsolicited e-mail), which accounts for 90% of traffic on the internet. Phone companies and other large ISPs (internet service providers) have tolerated it for years because it would cost too much to fix. Besides, eliminating spam would only benefit their customers, not themselves.How so? Because the big fat pipes used by ISPs operate symmetrically, with equal bandwidth for upstream and downstream traffic. But end-users have traditionally downloaded megaby...

Information technology in India

Gravity's pullIs India 's computer-services industry heading for a fall?MOST foreigners visit Mysore to see its many palaces, testaments to bygone royal splendour. But the city, south of Bangalore, is also a good place to observe monuments to India's modern might. One of its suburbs contains a lush campus with a collection of futuristic buildings: the Global Education Centre, one of the world's largest corporate-training facilities, operated by Infosys, a leading Indian information-technology (IT) services firm.Visiting the centre, you would think that for India's IT businesses, the sky is the limit. Rarely has an industry grown so rapidly for so long. It has boasted annual growth rates of nearly 30% in the past ten years, with revenues now nearing $50 billion, about 5.4% of India's GDP. But some in India are starting to worry that the industry is heading for a fall. At the very least, analysts say, the industry's leading firms—Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys and Wi...
