Notas do Editor

  1. What do we mean when we say “the social Web”? There are many ways to define it. Here isForrester Research’s taxonomy, which divides it into six user activities, which of course overlap.We are the media, the media is us!Your customers are publishers nowYou are a publisher now --> Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, location-based social apps
  2. RSS ("Really Simple Syndication") is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.[2] An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed",[3]or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place.
