Definitions of Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0
 Web 1.0 – The static
web (html files – no
interaction)
© Stephen Whitelaw 2010
Definitions of Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0
 Web 2.0 – Examples of
Web 2.0 include web-based
communities, hosted
services, web applications,
social-networking sites,
video-sharing sites, wikis,
blogs, mashups etc. Web
2.0 sites allow their users to
interact with other users or
to change website content.

Definitions of Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0
 Web 3.0 – The Semantic
Web, making it possible for the
web to “understand” and
satisfy the requests of
people.

equipment of modern smartphones: using the data of GPS, the compass
and the movement sensor, the exact geographical coordinates are
calculated. In the case of the Wikitude World Browser, the data comes
from cooperation partners like the online yellow pages qype, Wikipedia
or the user community.

  44. Facebook Plugins – see https:// developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins / e.g. Like Button, Comment Button, Login Button – the 3 most common Easy to implement using html5 etc.. Janrain and gigya (e.g. Forbes). Earlier this month, I wrote about how the promise of Facebook traffic has enticed millions of sites to use Facebook Like buttons and other Facebook social plugins. But does following Facebook’s socialist agenda really pay off? How about some numbers, courtesy of Facebook? Facebook provided me with the figures below from when I was working on my earlier article,  Has Facebook Become The Master Key To Unlocking The Web? Since the figures are from Facebook, you do have to take them with a grain of salt. However, there are plenty of third party sources that also report how making use of Facebook’s social features can be a traffic booster. On with the stats! Media Stats Here’s what Facebook says about media sites using Like buttons and other social plugins: The average media site integrated with Facebook has seen a 300% increase in referral traffic. People who sign in with Facebook at The Huffington Post view 22% more pages and spend 8 minutes longer than the average reader   . Users coming to the NHL.com from Facebook spend 85% more time, read 90% more articles and watch 85% more videos than a non-connected user. ABCNews.com, Washington Post and The Huffington Post are said to have more than doubled their referral traffic from Facebook since adding social plugins. Commerce Stats About commerce sites and Facebook social plugins, the Facebook reports: Levi’s saw a 40 times increase in referral traffic from Facebook after implementing the Like button in April 2010 and has maintained those levels since. Outdoor sporting goods retailer Giantnerd.com saw a 100% increase revenue from Facebook within two weeks of adding the Like button. American Eagle added the Like button next to every product on their site and found Facebook referred visitors spent an average of 57% more money than non-Facebook referred visitors Children’s clothing retailer Tea Collection added the Like button to sale merchandise and saw daily revenues increase 10 times. ShoeDazzle added the Like button to all of the products on its site and within the first month had thousands of likes for its top products. ShoeDazzle also lets people login to its site using Facebook, and Facebook-connected users were 50% more likely to make repeat purchases every month than average shoppers.

  45. Facebook is the number one choice for social logins. Google was previously the top social login service, but it’s a fairly distant second place now with 30% market share. Social login is increasingly being seen as one way to reduce friction — especially on retail sites — because it means web users don’t need to create (and remember) new accounts at multiple websites. The stats are similar on mobile applications, with Facebook having 49 percent overall share of social logins, compared to 25 percent for Google and 14 percent for Twitter.

  53. SlideShare  is an online  slide hosting service . Users can upload files in the following file formats:  PowerPoint ,  PDF ,  Keynote  or OpenOffice  presentations. Launched on October 4, 2006, the website is considered to be similar to  YouTube , but for slideshows. [2] The website was originally meant to be used for businesses to share slides among employees more easily, but it has since expanded to also become a host of a large number of slides which are uploaded merely to entertain. [3]  The website gets an estimated 12 million  unique visitors  a month. [4]
  54. PatientsLikeMe  is a  social networking  health site that enables its members to share treatment and symptom information in order to track and to learn from real-world outcomes. PatientsLikeMe currently has communities for  amyotrophic lateral sclerosis  (ALS),  multiple sclerosis  (MS),  Parkinson's disease , fibromyalgia ,  HIV ,  chronic fatigue syndrome , and  mood disorders , as well as the rare conditions  progressive supranuclear palsy , multiple system atrophy , and  Devic's disease  (neuromyelitis optica). In June 2009 PatientsLikeMe announced their first major partnership with the drug company  UCB  to develop a community for patients suffering from  epilepsy , due for launch in early 2010. [1] PatientsLikeMe enables patients who suffer from these life-changing diseases to converse with one another, allowing them to share data on improving their outcomes, empathize with each other and to learn any techniques or medication other sufferers are trying in order to improve their health. The site was initially launched in 2005 when brothers  James Heywood  and Benjamin Heywood recognized the need for community-based information sharing around specific diseases when their brother  Stephen Heywood  was diagnosed with  ALS  in 1998. Physicians and researchers can access the site, enabling them to find out what treatments its patients have tried and how successful the outcome of the treatments were. The site has also introduced a number of projects that analyze clinical information given by the patients. Users of the site access the site for free. However the site is a commercial site as it aims to sell its users' data to drug and medical companies. The number of users is increasing. At October 2009, there were 45,000 registered patients on the site. In the time since launch, the company has expanded to 9 disease categories, with plans to expand to many more. The company was named as one of the "15 Companies that Will Change the World" by Business 2.0 and CNN Money. [2]  It was also featured in a March, 2008  New York Time Magazine  article entitled "Practicing Patients" [3]  and in December 2008 on a television segment with Sanjay Gupta  for the  CBS Evening News .

They’ve driven down Lombard Street, crossed the Golden Gate bridge, navigated the Pacific Coast Highway, and even made it all the way around Lake Tahoe. All in all, our self-driving cars have logged over 140,000 miles.  Drivers will not need a driving license by 2040. At least that is what the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers believes. It thinks autonomous cars capable of driving to any destination are set to become the norm. For trains: Full scale trials of semi-automated transport on the London Underground system began in the early 1960s With an estimated 90% of current car accidents thought to be caused by human error, taking people out of the equation is seen by many car companies as a massive boost to safety. The issue are NOT technical – the issues are: Legal, liability & perception. Vehicles could be fully autonomous NOW. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/9755210.stm
  71. The 2003 Harvard Business Review article "IT Doesn't Matter." Nicholas Carr August 2008 – The Atlantic article. Also an article here: Google Effects on Memory: Cognitive Consequences of Having Information at Our Fingertips http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2011/07/13/science.1207745 The advent of the Internet, with sophisticated algorithmic search engines, has made accessing information as easy as lifting a finger. No longer do we have to make costly efforts to find the things we want. We can "Google" the old classmate, find articles online, or look up the actor who was on the tip of our tongue. The results of four studies suggest that when faced with difficult questions, people are primed to think about computers and that when people expect to have future access to information, they have lower rates of recall of the information itself and enhanced recall instead for where to access it. The Internet has become a primary form of external or transactive memory, where information is stored collectively outside ourselves.

  93. Artificial blood vessels made on a 3D printer may soon be used for transplants of lab-created organs. Until now, the stumbling block in tissue engineering has been supplying artificial tissue with nutrients that have to arrive via capillary vessels. A team at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany has solved that problem using 3D printing and a technique called multiphoton polymerisation. The findings will be shown at the Biotechnica Fair in Germany in October. Out of thousands of patients in desperate need of an organ transplant there are inevitably some who do not get it in time. In Germany, for instance, more than 11,000 people have been put on an organ transplant waiting list in 2011 alone. To make sure more patients receive these life-saving surgeries, researchers in tissue engineering all over the globe have been working on creating artificial tissue and even entire organs in the lab. But for a lab-made organ to function, it needs to be equipped with artificial blood vessels - tiny and extremely complex tubes that our organs naturally possess, used to carry nutrients. Continue reading the main story “Start Quote The individual techniques are already functioning and they are presently working in the test phase” Dr Gunter TovarFraunhofer Institute, Germany Numerous attempts have been made to create synthetic capillaries, and the latest one by the German team seems to be especially promising. "The individual techniques are already functioning and they are presently working in the test phase; the prototype for the combined system is being built," said Dr Gunter Tovar, who heads the BioRap project at Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB in Stuttgart. Elastic biomaterials 3D printing technology has been increasingly used in numerous industries, ranging from creating clothes, architectural models and even chocolate treats. But this time, Dr Tovar's team had a much more challenging printing mission. To print something as small and complex as a blood vessel, the scientists combined the 3D printing technology with two-photon polymerisation - shining intense laser beams onto the material to stimulate the molecules in a very small focus point. The material then becomes an elastic solid, allowing the researchers to create highly precise and elastic structures that would be able to interact with a human body's natural tissue. So that the synthetic tubes do not get rejected by the living organism, their walls are coated with modified biomolecules. Such biomolecules are also present in the composition of the "inks" used for the blood vessel printer, combined with synthetic polymers. "We are establishing a basis for applying rapid prototyping to elastic and organic biomaterials," said Dr Tovar. "The vascular systems illustrate very dramatically what opportunities this technology has to offer, but that's definitely not the only thing possible."

  108. “ TV Companion” Billed as a “TV Companion” by its developer, Umami for iPad  is a entertainment app that knows what show you’re watching. Umami uses your TV’s audio to sync to programs aired on major networks and basic cable within the last week. Viewers can also simply type in a show to receive a customized program filled with bios, news, photos, and other information about the show they are watching. Umami is synchronous, which means its content changes depending on what you’re watching. The app works whether the TV broadcast is live or on a DVR. Umami creates a home page for each show that links to IMDB, Wikipedia, Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Umami is  free to download  from the App store and doesn’t require users to sign up for an account. To use Umami, just open it near your television; the app does the rest. Hint: if Umami isn’t finding your program, try closing the app and opening it again. Although the TV’s volume needs to be on, it doesn’t need to be blaring; Umami actually correctly detected the right program from another room.

  118. There are several key differences in these code formats. - ScanLife EZcode and Microsoft Tag are proprietary formats only decodable by their tools, - while QR and DataMatrix formats are open standard.
  119. Top 14 things to know about QR Code: 1. A QR Code is a 2D Barcode QR codes are an encoded barcode image resembling a square-like maze. Unlike a 1-dimensional UPC code, a 2-dimensional barcode stores data in both directions and can be scanned vertically or horizontally to be decoded. 2. 2D Barcodes Can Store a Variety of Data A traditional 1D barcode (UPC/EAN) stores up to 30 numbers, while a 2D barcode (QR) can store up to 7,089 numbers. The additional storage capacity accommodates a variety of data beyond numbers: Text Hyperlink Telephone number (Phone call) SMS/MMS message Email (Send message) Contact entry (vCard or meCard) Calendar entry (vCalendar) Storing a hyperlink presents a myriad of possibilities beyond just loading a web page -- play a video, download a mobile app, check-in on Foursquare, update a Twitter status, "Like" a Facebook page, display map directions, and more. 3. Read/Decode a 2D Barcode by Scanning it With a Smartphone (A 2D barcode reader app is required to decode the encoded data.) 4. 2D Barcodes Can be Placed in and on Nearly Any Location Once the barcode image is created, it can be printed on nearly any surface and location -- newspapers, TV ads, billboards, temporary tattoos, product packaging, clothing labels, cake frosting, and more. This enables you to drive traffic, interaction, and conversion from  anywhere . 2D barcodes excel at bringing non-digital media to life. Note: Use caution placing barcodes online. They should always enhance the user experience. If a user could click a hyperlink, don't make them scan a code to complete the same task. Bear in mind the location must be easily scannable. Plastic frames and packaging can reflect light. Lighting can cast shadows, and hillsides and subways can kill Wi-Fi access. Consider all contextual factors that could impact the scanning experience. 5. Mobile Barcode Scanning is on the Rise 2D barcode scanning outnumbered 1D (UPC) scans in Q1 2011. -  ScanLife's Q1 2011 Trend Report Mobile barcode scanning grew 1,600 percent in the year 2010.  -  ScanLife's 2010 Trend Report (PDF) QR barcode scanning was up 1,200 percent in the second half of 2010.  -  Mobio's Naked Facts Report 22 percent of the Fortune 50 have already used mobile barcodes.  -  Burson-Marsteller Report QR codes can be used for nearly any function (logistics, advertising, customer service, etc.) for B2B and B2C across a variety of industries: Best Buy  uses QR codes on in-store price tags for quick access to online reviews. Golf Digest  uses Microsoft Tag in their magazine to accompany tips with interactive video. Real estate agents use 2D barcodes  on "for sale" signs providing prospective buyers access to virtual tours. Libraries are using QR codes  to facilitate learning via interactive scavenger hunts. 6. QR Isn't the Only Type of 2D Barcode The most popular 2D barcode formats are  QR code ,  DataMatrix ,  ScanLife EZcode , and  Microsoft Tag (Tag) . There are several key differences in these code formats. ScanLife EZcode and Microsoft Tag are proprietary formats only decodable by their tools, while QR and DataMatrix formats are open standard. (Additional format differences can be addressed in another blog post.) A  Google Trends analysis of these 2D barcodes  shows "QR code" dominates by far from a search popularity perspective. QR has become a common term used to reference a 2D barcode (2D code, mobile tag, mobile barcode, etc.) even when codes are technically a different format. Even @MicrosoftTag  uses the  # QRcode  hashtag on Twitter. 7. Tools to Generate and Read 2D Barcodes are  Free Tools are available for all major mobile phone handsets. To run a 2D barcode campaign you'll need to following: 2D barcode generator (Website service) 2D barcode reader (Mobile app) [Optional” 2D barcode management/tracking tool (Website service) Generators: Different generators have varying features. Choose a generator based on the options for: Code Format (i.e. QR, EZcode, Tag, etc.) Stored Data (i.e. hyperlink, meCard, SMS, etc.) Output (i.e. color, size, download file type, etc.) QRstuff.com  is a comprehensive QR generator providing a variety of stored content, color, size, and output options. ScanLife's generator creates their proprietary EZcode as well as QR and DataMatrix formats. Microsoft Tag only generates Tag. Note: To generate a code on the ScanLife or Microsoft Tag sites, you'll first need to create an account. (Tag requires providing personal info like birth date, gender, etc.) Readers: Microsoft Tag  and  ScanLife EZcode  can only be decoded by their respective reader apps. Because of the open standard for QR codes, dozens of reader apps are available. (DataMatrix is usually supported on most QR readers.) Some mobile handsets come with a reader app pre-installed. The following 2D barcode reader apps work on the majority of phones/handsets. Reader AppCode FormatsDownload Link (from your mobile phone)RedLaserQR, UPC/EAN redlaser.com BeeTagg ReaderQR, DataMatrix, BeeTagg get.beetagg.com AT&T Code ScannerQR, DataMatrix, UPC/EAN scan.mobi ScanLifeEZcode, QR, DataMatrix, UPC/EAN getscanlife.com Microsoft TagTag gettag.mobi RedLaser and AT&T Code Scanner also have geolocation features for local price comparison shopping. 8. Management Tools are Available to Track Scanning Analytics URL-shortener and web analytics for 2D barcodes storing URL hyperlinks are a great start. For comprehensive scan tracking, you'll need to use a barcode generator tool that includes tracking analytics. (These tools are not independent.) Some management tools will merely track the number of scans while others provide detailed metrics like demographics, repeat scans, geolocation, and more. Collected analytics depends on the reader app used for scanning, so data results may vary. Management tools are relatively inexpensive and sometimes free. Paid plans typically have a free trial with fees based on the number of scans. 2D Barcode Management & Tracking Tools: Microsoft Tag  (Tag) ScanLife  (EZcode, QR, DataMatrix, UPC) Tappinn  (QR, UPC) Paperlinks  (QR) QReateBUZZ  (QR) BeQRious  (QR) SPARQCode  (QR) QReate and Track  (QR) 9. 2D Barcode Content Should Provide Special Value for the Customer It's work to scan a barcode, so users have higher expectations as to what content they will find. Reward the user with discounts, exclusive content, or useful tips relevant to the code's context. Consider scenarios that leverage smartphone features (email, SMS, phone call, video, map, apps, etc.) to save the user time. For example, including a QR code on a business card that links to a meCard would be a lot easier than the user manually entering the contact record. In contrast, a QR code that links to a website homepage adds limited value. Note: If you link to a web page, make sure that it's mobile-friendly. 10. Small or Complex QR Codes Can't be Scanned by Smartphones With Lesser Quality Cameras Complex 2D barcodes (a lot going on, not very dense) are more challenging and time consuming to scan. In the case of QR codes, more stored content forces a larger code size. In general, it's best to minimize data stored in 2D barcodes. Always use a URL-shortener to shrink hyperlinks. (Add analytics tracking parameters before shortening the link.) Warning:  Small, complex QR codes are the biggest mistake currently being made by marketers. (Microsoft Tag and EZcode formats generally don't have this issue.) Smartphone cameras with resolution less than 4-megapixels can't scan a QR code smaller than about 1"x1". Moreover, without the auto-focus (AF) camera feature, a complex QR code will have the same scanning issue, even if the code is larger. The iPhone 3GS and Blackberry are popular handset examples that lack both of these camera features. Unscannable codes kill and delay the adoption rate for 2D barcode campaigns. Tip: Always provide a back-up (i.e. hyperlink, SMS text message, etc.) option for users to retrieve info within the code. A back-up enables non-smartphone users to also participate. 11. Consumers Need Guidance to Scan 2D Barcodes The variety of code types, readers, and different terminology is confusing to consumers.  Nielsen Company estimates  that only 40 percent of U.S. mobile devices are smartphones as of Q1 2011, growing to almost 50 percent by Q3 2011. That means there are a lot of smartphone rookies that barely know how to use their phone, much less distinguish differences in mobile barcode formats and reader apps. As long as 2D barcodes are a novelty concept, always include a brief step-by-step guide with the context of your code. Logical steps: Get the reader app Scan the code with your mobile device (Action that happens upon scanning) Tip: For the reader app download, include a URL link or SMS shortcut to expedite the process. This step is imperative when using proprietary  Microsoft Tag  or  ScanLife EZcode  formats since only one reader is capable of scanning their codes. Steps two and three can be combined as a call-to-action. Example: "Scan to ____." (... watch a video, download our app, call customer support, etc.) 12. 2D Barcodes can be Customized Artistically QR codes include an Error Correction Level (ECL) that enables "damaged" codes to still be scanned. The error level tolerance (set by the code generator) can be as high as 30%. As a result, creative license can be used to  create designer QR codes  from a variety of colors or materials (i.e. jelly beans, sand castles, product packaging, etc.) as long as there is adequate contrast to read the code. When it comes to advanced QR code graphic design, it's harder than it looks. If you want to get fancy, I recommend connecting with QR art experts at  QRarts.com  or  Delivr.com . Microsoft Tag also allows for artistic codes. Their custom tag tool allows users to generate art from codes or even overlay codes on top of photographs. Tip: Some artistic design is fun and good to see; however, don't go overboard. As long as 2D barcodes are novelty, it's important that users easily recognize a scannable code from a distance. 13. Testing Scannability is Imperative. Before you mass print or distribute barcodes be sure to test for scannability. Testing factors: Smartphone cameras (resolution/auto-focus) Reader apps Scan context (i.e. lighting, shadows, surfaces) Scan distance Scan timing 14. Seek Expertise to Ensure Successful Campaigns To ensure campaign success, consider consulting with a mobile barcode marketing expert, especially if it's your first time running a mobile barcode campaign. Technology, trends, and tools in this arena are rapidly changing. A few hours of expert consulting can bring your team up to speed, help optimize campaigns for success, and avoid unnecessary embarrassment for poor implementation. Expertise goes beyond consultants: Talk to your web analytics guru and learn all you can about the mobile users currently accessing your website.
