Happy Birthday! Firefox Turns Five Years Old Today

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Doesn’t it seem like Firefox has been part of the Internet landscape for more than five years? Of course, five years in Internet time is more like 10-15 years or more. (-:

From a Mozilla Blog Post:

Five years ago today, Mozilla launched Firefox 1.0 with belief that, as the most significant social and technological development of our time, the Internet is a public resource that must remain open and accessible to all.

In just five years, that number has swelled to over 330 million users worldwide; almost a quarter of Internet users worldwide choose Firefox. Today, Firefox ships in more than 70 languages and offers users more than 7,000 add-ons to help customize their browsing experience.

[Snip]

To celebrate this milestone, Mozilla communities are hosting parties all over the globe in a special campaign called “Light the World with Firefox” – shining the Firefox logo from Tokyo to Rome, from Paris to San Francisco, and more. For full details on parties in your area or to check out other ways to join in the celebration, head to http://www.spreadfirefox.com/5years/.

Our favorite Firefox feature? That’s a tough one. How about the never-ending stream of useful and free add-ons and extensions that help make Firefox more than just a “web browser?” Our favorite add-on at the moment? That’s an easy one, Zotero. It’s a complete set of tools that, “help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources.” We use it to locally capture, annotate and archive web content. More Zotero tools here.

How About an iPhone/iTouch Front-End App for Google Wave? It’s Here!

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Yes, we already posted about a new iPhone/iTouch app today (NASA Images) but like they say, one iPhone App deserves another, especially on the weekend.

Here’s an iPhone/iTouch app that some people have been asking for.

It’s a “very simple” front-end for Google Wave from company named Waveboard. It’s not an official Google product.

The price? 99 cents. So, if you don’t like the app and/or don’t see a need for it (or Google Wave in general), you’re not out a great deal of $$$.

According to the iPhone/iTouch home page for Waveboard is allows you to:

+ Shake your phone with the app running will provide access to reload or logout features.
+ Have website links shown in an integrated browser
+ Allows pages can be “handed off” to Safari
+ Have the option to use landscape view

Perhaps the most interesting and useful feature in this release is push notifications. This page and the embedded video shows that it’s a fast and simple operation to get everything running.

Here’s an overview:

From the outset, Google Wave “push” is only available if you use the Mac version of Waveboard (free)

You’ll need

1) An app named Prowl which can do a bunch of things beyond Waveboard installed on both your iPhone.The Prowl home page shows many positive comments from well-known iPhone app reviewers. It costs $2.99 and even if you give up on Waveboard, as we said a moment ago, Prowl has several other uses.

2) You’ll also need either Growl (for Macs) or Growl for Windows. Both applications are free.

So, if you just want to test Google Wave on iPhone/iTouch you can spend $.99 and be up and running in no time. Of course, you’ll also need one a Google Wave login.

If you want to enable Google Wave push notifications (only available at this time for Mac), it’s another $2.99 and a few more minutes of your time. It’s really not difficult.

This is very cool! Push notifications (using Prowl and Growl) are also available for Google Voice (1), Google Voice (2), and Twitter.

The Next Big Thing in the U.S.? A Music Service Named Spotify

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

These days, Spotify is all the rage in Europe and other parts of the world. They’re working to begin serving the U.S. market (lots of licensing issues).

From a Reuters Article:

The Sweden-based startup Spotify, launched for public access in October 2008, has momentum like no other digital music service of the last six years. It offers on-demand music streaming, in both free and premium services, and now claims to have more than 6 million users in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the United Kingdom, France and Spain. At one point it reported signing up new members at a rate of 50,000 per day, although that figure has fallen since September, when the service restricted its free version to invited guests in the United Kingdom.

Spotify has won high marks from reviewers for the ease with which it provides access to a catalog of more than 6 million tracks from majors and indies alike and the unobtrusive way it delivers advertising.

Flickr Launches a Directory of Apps, Take a Stroll Through the Flickr App Garden

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Needless to say, Flickr is one of the most popular social sites on the Internet. Over the years, developers have built mass quantities of applications to do a variety of things with the Flickr database.

Now, the Flickr team has compiled many of them in a single location, the App Garden. Categories include:

+ Apps We’ve Noticed, “We” Being the Flickr Team

+ Explore Apps using a Word Cloud

+ Developers We’ve Noticed

+ You Can Even Keyword Search the App Garden.

There is mucho content here. Give yourself a few minutes each day to find a few new cool apps or devote one, maybe two afternoons to not only find but also try out what’s available.

The common thread behind all of these apps is that they were built using the Flickr API.

Enjoy your walk through the Flickr App Garden.

New Online Resource: CompareMyDocs.com

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

As its name says, CompareMyDocs.com lets you, “compare,recombine and merge your document versions.” According to the web site, this is a beta release and it’s free, at least at the present time. CompareMyDocs.com “works best” with text only documents that don’t contain tables or images. Three format types can be compared at the present time:

+ .Doc
+ .Docx
+ .RTF

Click the ? on the home page for a video tour.

From CNET:

Just like TextFlow [a similar product from the same company], Compare My Docs color codes any changes it finds between the different revisions of a document and gives you a quick and easy way to accept, reject, or set aside a change. This means you can cruise through a document and keep the changes or revisions you like, while keeping an active log of what you don’t.

When finished, you’ll have a new version that has all of those changes, which can be saved either as a Word doc or rich text file back on your hard drive. Although unlike what you can do in TextFlow, with Compare My Docs there’s no way to publish the finished product to the Web or save it in parent company Nordic River’s servers for safe keeping; something that seems meant to entice users to try out TextFlow instead.

New ELI 7 Things… Brief Explores Google Wave

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Access the Document (2 pages; PDF)

From the Summary:

Google Wave is a web-based application that represents a rethinking of electronic communication. Users create online spaces called “waves,” which include multiple discrete messages and components that constitute a running, conversational document. Users access waves through the web, resulting in a model of communication in which rather than sending separate copies of multiple messages to different people, the content resides in a single space. Wave offers a compelling platform for personal learning environments because it provides a single location for collecting information from diverse sources while accommodating a variety of formats, and it makes interactive coursework a possibility for nontechnical students. Wave challenges us to reevaluate how communication is done, stored, and shared between two or more people.

Source: EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative

A Brief Comment From Gary:
I’ve been using Google Wave for about a month and I’m still unsure if this is going to be the next big thing. It’s a potentially powerful tool and might be extremely useful where and when instant collaboration needs to take place between people at different locations. Yes, many of these things can be done with any IM client and that’s how I think of Google Wave as of today (remember this is not even a beta release, it’s a preview) as IM on steroids. If developers are able to integrate compelling and useful applications into the Google Wave service, then it might be a home run. The other challenge Google could face if they expect the masses to use Wave is the learning curve. For many potential users, it will not be as easy to ue as is, let’s say, Google search is. Just type and press search. There are a lot of bells and whistles and without using some of its many features these users might stay with tools they are familiar with like IM, SMS, e-mail, and/or one of the many collaboration tools the’re already familiar with. Of course, for many companies who pay for this type of service, the price point, free, might be a reason to retrain staff on how to best use the power of Google Wave.

Tools to Test the Accessibility of Web 2.0 Resources

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

From an ACM TechNews Abstract:

The University of Southampton’s School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) is launching a study that will explore how well people with disabilities can access Web services such as blogs, wikis, and social networking sites. The study, led by Mike Wald and E.A. Draffan in ECS’ Learning Societies Lab, is based on an accessibility toolkit that will enable users to test the accessibility of Web 2.0 services. The accessibility tools were developed as a result of the LexDis project, which identified strategies learners can use to enhance their e-learning experience. Part of the toolkit, Web2Access, provides an online checking system for any interactive Web-based service such as Facebook. Another key feature of the accessibility kit is Study Bar, which can work with all browsers and reads text out loud, spell checks, provides a dictionary, and can enlarge or change text fonts and colors to make text more readable. “We developed it because nowadays users contribute as well as read information and so you cannot just click on a button to see if Web sites are accessible and easy to use,” Draffan says. Wald says it is the first time that there has been a systematic way to evaluate and provide the results of accessibility testing of Web services.

U.S. Department of Labor Releases Unemployment Benefit Estimation Tool

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

US Department of Labor and partners unveil tool to help unemployed homeowners verify income received from unemployment compensation

The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the creation of a new Unemployment Benefit Estimation Tool that allows mortgage companies and housing counselors to project a homeowner’s unemployment insurance income for loan modification purposes. The tool was created as part of collaborative effort among the Labor Department, the U.S. Department of Treasury, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Hope Now Alliance.

“Helping unemployed Americans stay in their homes while they seek out new careers is critical to their success and is simply the right thing to do,” said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment and Training Jane Oates. “This new tool will allow mortgage companies and housing counselors to accurately project the income homeowners may receive through unemployment compensation when processing home loan modification applications.”

New loan modification programs created through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — such as the Making Home Affordable Program — allow mortgage companies to utilize nine months of a homeowner’s unemployment insurance income as part of determining his or her qualifications for a loan modification. Recent extensions of unemployment benefits have made this possible, and the tool unveiled today will make it easier to calculate benefits over several months. Prior to this new program, unemployment made it nearly impossible to qualify for a home loan modification.

New from Intel Labs: Dispute Finder: Attempting to Separate Fact from Fiction

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

This is a beta release from Intel Labs and is only available for Firefox users. We’re going to test out this service and report back in a few weeks.

From the Article:

Journalism has become less black and white today. From healthcare reform to progress in Afghanistan, commentators on cable news and blogs have refracted “the truth” into many shades of gray.

So when someone throws out a statistic, how do you know it’s true?

“We’re seeing the end of the newspapers, and with them go many of the fact-checkers*,” says Rob Ennals, a research scientist at Intel Labs in Berkeley, Calif. “We now have a far more anarchistic view of the news. You can’t know people’s biases.”

To help readers, Mr. Ennals developed an online veracity alert system. The software, called Dispute Finder, sniffs through what you are reading online. If anything smells fishy – perhaps questionable poll results or references to “death panels” – Ennals’s code blows a whistle and says, “This is disputed. Here’s the evidence.”

1) To download, head to the Dispute Finder Web Site

2) Install the Firefox (only) extension

Once installed, Dispute Finder starts to compare what you read online to its database of recognized contentions. When you stumble upon a dubious claim, the program automatically highlights that section in pink.

For example, Dispute Finder will highlight “Eskimos have many words for snow.” Curious users can click on the pink text to find out why. A little explainer appears as a pop-up bubble. It says: “ ‘Contrary to popular belief, the Eskimos do not have more words for snow than do speakers of English,’ according to linguist Steven Pinker in his book ‘The Language Instinct.’ ‘Counting generously, experts can come up with about a dozen.’ ”

This evidence also comes with a citation that links to the original website, so you can scrutinize the authority of the allegation. And, whether you agree with the statement or not, each explainer also comes with an “ignore” button, which tells the program not to highlight this dispute in the future.

Much More in the Complete Article

Learn more via the Dispute Finder FAQ.

Dispute Finder also has a “Hot Claims” page that shows some of the disputed claims users have added recently.

* Human fact checkers and news librarians are not all gone. Many are still doing great work. It was just last week when we posted an article by Paula Hane who discussed several “human powered” services that do there best to separate fact from fiction. If you missed that post, here’s the link.

Just Released by EDUCAUSE: New 7 Things… Brief Explores Collaborative Annotation

Friday, October 9th, 2009

From the Summary:

Collaborative annotation tools expand the concept of social bookmarking by allowing users not only to share bookmarks but also to digitally annotate web pages. Rather than simply pointing to particular web pages, collaborative annotation lets users highlight specific content on a web page and add a note explaining their thoughts or pointing to additional resources. Students who use these tools for academic research can, over time, build a collection of their own studies and observations in much the same way generations of students have saved texts with dog-eared pages, highlighted passages, scribbled comments, and sticky notes.

Google Earth Application Maps Carbon’s Course

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

From the Article:

Google Earth — the digital globe on which computer users can fly around the planet and zoom in on key features — is attracting attention in scientific communities and aiding public communication about carbon dioxide. Recently Google held a contest to present scientific results using KML, a data format used by Google Earth.

“I tried to think of a complex data set that would have public relevance,” said Tyler Erickson, a geospatial researcher at the Michigan Tech Research Institute in Ann Arbor.

[Snap]

The application is designed to educate the public and even scientists about how carbon dioxide emissions can be traced. A network of 1,000-foot towers across the United States is equipped with instruments by NOAA to measure the carbon dioxide content of parcels of air at single locations.

At the bottom of the article (in the related resources section) you’ll find more information including the actual Google KML file and a few videos.

If You’re a Google Toolbar Users Learn About SideWiki to Comment on Any Site

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Danny Sullivan Writes:

Google Sidewiki is a new feature being added today to the Google Toolbar that allows anyone to leave comments about pages as they surf the web. Love something you’re reading? Hate it? You can share your views with others who visit the page and who also have Sidewiki enabled. Share, that is, if Google thinks your comment is good enough.

The post continues with a detailed explanation and screen caps.

Danny continues:

What comments are shown, and in what order? Google secret sauce time. The official line is this:

Using multiple signals based on the quality of the entry, what we know about the author, and user-contributed signals such as voting and flagging, we work hard to ensure that only the highest quality, most relevant entries appear in the sidebar. Most of the engineering work for Sidewiki was dedicated to this ranking algorithm.

When I talking with Google about Sidewiki, they gave me a few other factors, such as:
+ Use of sophisticated language: “This page sucks” isn’t sophisticated; think complex sentences and ideas. Apparently, Google has a language sophistication detector now, and one that works in the 14 different languages that Sidewiki supports.
+ User’s reputation: Are your comments being voted up or flagged down?
+ User’s history: How long have you had a Google Profile? How long have you been commenting?

Danny says that you can also share comments with people who do or do not use the toolbar.

From the Conclusion:

Sidewiki feels like another swing at something Google seems to desperately desires — a community of experts offering high quality comments. Google says that’s something that its cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin wanted more than a system for ranking web pages. They really wanted a system to annotate pages across the web.

Certainly Google’s goal is to be something more than another commenting system.

“I think we would have failed if people were using it to say ‘Obama sucks’,” said Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management at Google.

That’s not to say the system is meant to promote pro-Obama comments! Rather, the hope is to produce more intelligent and thoughtful comments regardless of a particular position about Obama or any other topic.

“If those are the comments we’re surfacing, [Sidewiki] wouldn’t be that much different than much of the web. What we’re really trying to do is add value from people who really know what they’re talking about,” he said.

Again, much much more in the full post.

Sending Science Down the Phone: New Technology Will Map Research Across the World

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

From the ACM News Summary:

Research from Imperial College London scientists indicates that new smartphone software will help epidemiologists and ecologists in the field analyze data remotely and map findings across the globe. The study authors also say the software will allow the public to function as “citizen scientists” and gather data for community projects. The smartphone software lets users collect and record data, photos, and videos, and then transmit this material to a central Web-based database. The Web site uses the handset’s global positioning system to record the user’s location, and it can then display all the data collected on this subject across the world through Google Maps. The smartphones can additionally be used to request and see all the available maps and analyses. “This is the first time that we have been able to link all the functionality of smartphone technology to a Web-based database for scientists to use,” says lead study author David Aanensen. “Our software is ideal for projects where multiple people collect data in the field and submit these to a central Web site for mapping and analysis.” The researchers are currently using the software to assist in their analyses of the epidemiology of bacterial and fungal infectious diseases. Smartphones for the software employ the open source Android operating system, allowing software developers to create their own applications.
