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.
