Well, a new way to fight against pirates ?

Wiki workflow

New ! Chek now the work of my wiki's group about the 12 Killer apps principles on our new wiki : killerapp.metawiki.com

If you are interested about this principles, you can also visit the "official" website of Killer apps.

Use Internet, learn english !!

Internet allows the access of many content, and offer the opportunity to practice english more regularly than in the school. In fact 6 hours per month isn't enough to practice english and be able to work in England, USA or other english's country.

However, it exist news ways to improve our level in english. Internet and its contents can serve during all the day: by getting up, during the breakfast, on the way of the work, on the way of return, in the dïner and in the bedtime...

For example, if you visit the CNN web site, it is possible to read informations in english, to watch video about the news, to subscribe for the podcast and then have many english contents on your iPod or other stuff.

We have chek how listen english language but on an other hand we must practice to make progress ! So follow my advices !
First go to Youtube website and search for a famous artists .. for exemple Rihanna. Then open a new window and shearch for the official web site of this artist. It is a singer so find her lyrics. And at last play the video on youtube and sing with your favorit star as karaoke behind your screen of your computer !!

Internet : high security level

S-HTTP (Secure HTTP, means secure Protocol HTTP) is a process of reassurance of the deals HTTP basing on an improvement of the protocol HTTP finalized in 1994 by the EIT (Enterprise Integration Technologies). He allows to supply a reassurance of the exchanges during deals of e-commerce by coding messages to guarantee to the customers the confidentiality of their number of credit card or quite other personal information. An implémentation of S-HTTP was developed by the company Terisa Systems to include a reassurance at the level of the servers Web and navigators.

Contrary to SSL who works at the level of the layer of transport, S-HTTP gets a security based on messages over the protocol HTTP, by marking individually documents HTML by means of certificates. While SSL is independent from the used application and amounts the completeness of the communication, S-HTTP is very strongly connected to the protocol HTTP and codes individually every message.

The functioning
S-HTTP messages are based on three constituents:

• The HTTP message
• The cryptographic preferences of the sender
• The preferences of the addressee

So, to decipher a S-HTTP message, the addressee of the message analyzes the headings of the message to determine the type of method which was used to code the message. Then, thanks to its current and previous cryptographic preferences, and to the previous cryptographic preferences of the sender, it is capable of deciphering the message.

The complementarity of S-HTTP and SSL
While SSL and S-HTTP was rival, a big number of persons realized that both protocols of reassurance were additional, given that they do not work on the same level. In this way, SSL allows to reassure the internet connection whereas S-HTTP allows to supply secure exchanges HTTP.
In this way, the company Terisa Systems, specialized in the reassurance of networks, formed by RSA Data Security and the EIT, finalized a Kit of development allowing developers to develop servers Web implementing SSL and S-HTTP ( Secure Web Server Toolkit), as well as customers Web supporting these protocols (Secure Web Client Toolkit).

Improve your english class

The actual configuration of our e-culture and communication class is based on the MSN Messenger technology and the weblog aggregator Blogger. Each time, we communicate with our teacher by MSN and we have to research information and answer to specific questions on our blogs. But I suggest, to make the class more interesting and more interactive, in creating a link between all the blogs of the students. In this way establish a community around creative realizations on subjects of e-culture. We could call this community BobClass or still e-culture community I am not very sure on the name but it is not the most important.

So, the students could work by groups of 3 or 4, on common subjects: the cybercrim or the advertisement on internet for example. And for this use different ways as :

• Podcast >> example here
  
• Videoblog >> example here
• Novel-picture >> example here
• others ways

Then we give (generosity) our creativity (insight) in the service of the creation (patience & perseverance) and of the maintenance(discipline) of our community. Furthermore, it is more fun to work on the various quoted supports.

The RSS : new way to make content without write

"RSS is a family of web feed formats. The initialism "RSS" is variously used to refer to the following standards:

• Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)
• Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0)
• RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)

RSS formats are specified in XML (a generic specification for data formats). RSS delivers its information as an XML file called an "RSS feed", "webfeed", "RSS stream", or "RSS channel"." (Wikipedia)

So the RSS feed is use to keep in contact about the actuality of many differents websites without to check one by one every site. All the content is syndicat one only one support as Netvibes for example.

I have my own RSS and it's run with netwibes and firefox. We just need to add in favorite my blog. For do that click on the rss icon.

Cybercrime vs virtual crime

"Cybercrime is a term used broadly to describe criminal activity in which computers and networks are a tool, a target, or a place of criminal activity. These categories are not exclusive and many activities can be characterized as falling in one or more categories." (Wikipedia)

With Internet we can see how the crime exisiting on the real life is get in the virtual life. But there are many way to become a webcriminal.

• Examples of cybercrime in which the computer or network is a tool of the criminal activity include spamming and certain intellectual property and criminal copyright crimes, particularly those facilitated through peer-to-peer networks.
• Examples of cybercrime in which the computer or network is a target of criminal activity include defeating access controls (unauthorized access) , malicious code, and denial-of-service attacks.
• Examples of cybercrime in which the computer or network is a place of criminal activity include theft of service (in particular, telecom fraud) and certain financial frauds.
• Examples of common (Anti-social engineering) crimes facilitated through the use of computers or networks include Nigerian 419 frauds, identity theft, child pornography, online gambling, securities fraud.
  

But on the other hand, there are "Cyber Cops" who are protect the consumers. In fact we find them in the market under the form of software that protects our computer. (Antivirus: Norton, AVG. Antispyware : Avast!. Firewall: ZoneLabs). But with the cyber crime, the cyber criminal plays with the naivety of the net users. In fact we can receive during the navigation on the web many invitations to clicks on ads, to accept something and after many viruses are installed on our computer. On the same way, we can receive many mails all the day that are infected and could pirate our Computer. We can also receive fake mail about a bank for example, who ask to communicate account number and passwords...
To fight the cyber crime it is very important to make sensitive net users to the dangers on the web.

As everybody I think I have been a victim of the cyber crime, and to protect my self I use much software to protect my computer, and I am very watchful on the web.

YouTube : make fun & make money

YouTube is today the most important website for share videos, little movies or extract of tv-show. It is also a one of ten websites the most popular with 30 millions visitors each month. That's why the biggest browser: Google has bought it for 1.65 billions dollars. Create in February 2005 by Chad Hurley, Jawed Karim and Steven Chen, this is now a company who employ 65 persons.

The first reason to grow up of this website: the urge about the net users to share their life as we do with blog. But also a "normal" person can feed his personal performance: music, dance, etc..
There is a very good example with the singer Kamini. A French person, who make a sing and a video clip in two day, upload it in Youtube and six month later: Kamini sign for Universal music.



The key of the success of Youtube is its simplicity. It is very easy to show on the entire world his video: Erwan and me grow up today for the glory with our "vie pratique facile". Everybody can use it, it's why I think it run so well. In fact to use it :

• Create a movie
• Create an account on Youtube : only two clicks and it's free
• Upload the movie : only one clicks
• It's done

With this story about Youtube we can imagine that in the future, for the industry about music and movie, the new talents will be discover on this website. And it is really interesting for the company because the new artists success already on the web. So there are less risk to invest with him.
But in the other hand, with the development of this site we can download illegal content as movies, video clip, which are not free. It does can become a new "napster" where all is free, but all is not legally.

6 qualities to success easely

First, generosity, patience, discipline, insight, perseverance, comprehension are the six qualities of good professional activity.

Generosity
The RSS feed is the perfect example of generosity in the web today. In fact I think that the syndication of the different website show that everybody on the web can (and is allowed) to share information. Also on my weblog I create a RSS with xfruits. This site offers to the user to receive much information about what he want on a page online: here.

Patience
This notion is hard to define on the web because, with the new technologies, the user wants "all and now". We can show this tendency with the technologies used by the company on internet to accelerate the connection. But we can find example of patience on the web. In fact with Erwan we try to earn money in internet with our blogs, we make ads on the page with "Google Adsense" but it is really longer. We must waiting a long time to receive 10$. It is i think a form of patience.

Discipline
The Internet could appear as a world without rules, because all is possible. But the better company on the web are the most professional and rigorous. Because the user need to beleive on reference on the web : Google is a reference because them services are professional and credible : GoogleEarth for exemple, is not a fake is really the picture of all the world.

Insight
With the new technologies it is very important to have a original vison of the futur. To have the good vision. The success of youtube, myspace, flickr are the result of a good insight. The creators see about what the futur will make. How the consummer will use internet : for share movies, music, culture or play together. The videogame industrie work hard to make the game as "MMORPG" : game online with many people.

Perseverance
To success on Internet we need this quality ! All isn't easy and many time it is important to work hard and a long time to success. With Erwan we work on a secret project, but we know that we will need many time to get money and glory...



Comprehension:

Because a creator of a new business model understand what the consumer wants : it make the business well. For exemple, website like Youtube. The creator has understood that in internet many people shearch for funny movie, and shearch how to feed themself movies ! Today, Google buy this website for 1 650 000 000 $. The comprehension make success.

Could we learn english with Internet ?

As all the world is open, all the documentations in many languages are approachable. We can read newspaper online in english, we can listen podcast in english, many ways are available.

Innovations on the web !

First : the podcast !

The podcasting is a way of broadcasting sound files on Internet. He allows the users to join a feed and to get back new audio files automatically. The podcasting distinguishes itself from the other way of broadcasting information by its use of the format: RSS. The podcast is not a song in live but recorded to be used later on ipod for example. And the name "podcast" is not registered by a company as trademark.

And tomorow the web 2.0 !

The "web 2.0": the new way to see the e-technologies and Internet. Now the web must be interactive. The web 2.0 is building on technologies like ajax, and develop with the base of javascript. This mix of technologies offer the possibility to the website to became application and no static website. ( sources : clic here)

Web neutrality ...

The expression "web neutrality" means an ideal of democratic ethic on Internet. The World Wide Web is the most democratic mass medium there has ever been. Freedom of the press, as the saying goes, belongs only to those who own one. Radio and television are controlled by those rich enough to buy a broadcast license. But anyone with an Internet-connected computer can reach out to a potential audience of billions. Tim Berners-Lee, the British computer scientist who invented the Web, envisioned a platform on which everyone in the world could communicate on an equal basis.
But his vision is being threatened by telecommunications and cable companies, and other Internet service providers, that want to impose a new system of fees that could create a hierarchy of Web sites. Major corporate sites would be able to pay the new fees, while little-guy sites could be shut out. (sources)

The menace : DRM

Digital Right Manager. It is a program who is added on CD/DVD and all music downloded on web. This program control the copy of the music and block it. But this system of control will prevent a music downloded legally, to fonctionnate normaly on different supports. We could not give a music to a friend because he will not allow to listen it with his computer, ipod, and other. To see more : stopdrm this website and association was create by a friend.

Discover the social network :

The expression "social networks" include different type of networks. There are network to meet love : meetic.fr , to meet friends : myspace.com, to meet bussiness partner : likedin.com. But more generaly they are network who meet itself some persons who are the same interest.

The potential of these are really important, the potential of these network offer to meet everybody. For a music group, meet theire fans for example.

iDtgv through the principles of killer app

The website about iDtgv

1- Outsource to the customer
With iDtgv we can buy and print our ticket online. It is more simple than go to the station, wait before speak with the seller, buy the ticket. Now we stay at home, check the website of Sncf, buy online, and print the ticket. We go to the station only to take the train.

2- Cannibalize your markets
The people could only use iDtgv, and no the other train

3- Treat each customer as a market segment of one
There is "marketing one to one" on the concept of iDtgv. In fact, the costumer has many personal services, like massages, video game, DVD, etc... It's like he was alone on this train.

4- Create communities of value
iDzap create a community around a drink for example. The people meet themselves during the trip. In an other train, everybody are site, and don't speak.

5- Replace rude interfaces with learning interfaces
We can listen and see some people who speak about iDtgv. It is a new way for the user to see how is it the new train.

6- Ensure continuity for the customer, not yourself
The agent Sncf knows that there are new print trinkets, and knows how it works.... They must!

7- Give away as much information as you can
There are the list about all DVD we can rent in the train. But for a better service iDtgv could give more information about DVDs.

8- Structure every transaction as a joint venture
The DVD cost only 5€, it's cheap, because on a ordinary store it is much expensive.

You can see all the explications about the killer app HERE.

Student presentations

Level 1 :

Today Erwan and I have presented a video that have make it (see the post before). It is a funny video to teach people to open a bottle. After we have presented the website: www.heavy.com This website purpose some videos and include in all of there pages some ads. It is really interesting to see how the ads enter into the website.

Charlotte : www.fanlistings.org A website for fan... This website gives the entire official fan list about any things, and purpose to subscribe on.

Marie : www.akutten.com a website to learn to make a website. An interesting website, where we can create a site in we will enter. It is a generator of "template", or a generator of "skins". The content is the same whatever we do, but the graphic is under the user control. It's fun but we visit it only one time ...

Chantal-Marie : www.monroman.net a website who purpose to create a novel. We enter some informations about the main character and his friends, and the site do the rest. In few minutes we have a little novel to try. Because the main service is pay full, but create a book!!

Level 2:

The site about the fanlisting is really stupid i think ... because we loose our time, and the site give nothing... But there is a positive point !! In fact if someone go into this website he could see that he isn't alone to be the fan of Harry Potter, or the fan about John Kerry ... And he could live his passion better.

Level 3:

iDtgv, iDzen, iDzap and e-culture.
iDtgv is a program creat by the SNCF to make on theire train a different life, a differents uses. First with iDtgv the user can print his tiket at home, and become an outsource consumer. In an other and during the trip, the train is divided in two part : the first the part iDzen, when we could sleep, relax themself, etc... And the second part the iDzap where we can take a drink, play video game, or see DVD. It is a new way of the train, but yet don't work very well, it is impossible to buy a ticket online .... it is the only way... (a technical problem).

But the "new" technologie are here use to creat a new train and new uses.
