What Does The Year Of The Rooster Have In Store For The Digital World?

2005-02-01T14:40:00.000-08:00

Roosters are supposedly deep thinkers—capable of handling any challenge, they are outspoken, aggressive, talented, and courageous.

Which is exactly what we can expect this year from the digital color printing world. Mini-Me’s
Just as Roosters are aggressive with whatever they do, Apple isn’t one to let the PC drag him out of the ring. The introduction of the Mac Mini, which measures 6.5” square and 2” tall is hitting sales hard with its stylish, yet convenient package. The company that made MP3s on the go the coolest thing (not to mention iPods that play videos and store photos) is ringing in the New Year with affordable yet chic products that are making other companies squirm in their seats.

Taking on the cue of the Mac mini, it’s all about going compact. Rumors of the Apple Powerbook G5 to be released in the second quarter of 2005 has gotten many laptop lovers reeling with excitement.

Fired up and ready to Google
Just as you’ve discovered Mozilla Firefox as the best ever browser on the planet (if you haven’t, then you must be a fan of spyware and random pop-ups), you might have to familiarize yourself with yet another super-charged browser. Google.com has employed head programmer for Firefox Ben Goodger, to develop a browser for them—which could very much leave Microsoft’s IE in the dust.

Music on the Go
Cellular phones won’t be left behind—Motorola is introducing 13 new models this year, and Samsung’s light and compact clam shell phones are quickly winning the hearts of many text addicts.

Phones are quickly incorporating as much media as it can in one unit—but everyone will still be clamoring for their own mp3 player. Creative and Samsung have released compact and stylish players to pit against the iPOD—let’s face it, MP3 players are the new cell phones when it comes to being digitally trendy.

Although, as we get more connected, our precious PCs and PDAs become more prone to viruses. These won’t go away in the year of the Rooster, but instead, could be more rampant. It’s easier to get infected when we’re all wired up—expect random viruses as well as blue jacking, which are attacks on Bluetooth-enabled devices.

That shouldn’t get you down, though. After all, the Rooster can overcome whatever challenge is thrown his way. Now there’s something to crow about.

2004: Year of the Blog; 2005: Year of the RSS

2005-01-17T07:21:00.000-08:00

BBC has reported 32 million Americans getting hooked to weblog. The survey, conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, showed that blog readership has shot up by 58% in the last year. Said growth can be credited to political blogs written and read during the US presidential campaigns.The explosive growth of blogs have spawned the growth of another medium for sharing web information called RSS. Webreference.com defines an RSS as, Really Simple Syndication (RSS), a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content. Think of it as a distributable "What's New" for your site. Originated by UserLand in 1997 and subsequently used by Netscape to fill channels for Netcenter, RSS has evolved into a popular means of sharing content between sites (including the BBC, CNET, CNN, Disney, Forbes, Motley Fool, Wired, Red Herring, Salon, Slashdot, ZDNet, and more). RSS solves myriad problems webmasters commonly face, such as increasing traffic, and gathering and distributing news.

RSS can also be the basis for additional content distribution services. An estimated six million Americans are now using RSS aggregators to subscribe to feeds from blogs, news sites and other websites.With RSS you are equipped with a database like structure which contains information and news of what’s cooking in your site. Valued added is the fact that other services can be attached. Data from and to your web is facilitated at a very fast pace and this increases your chances of success.

The structure of RSS very much enhances various points of entry to one data instead of several copies of same item.Credit is due to innovators like Jonathan Eisenzopf, Dave Winer and Netscape for making possible the incorporation of other fields like news, time stamps etc.. into the ever growing RSS phenomena. Endless possibilities are offered and the future is yet to witness new exciting development to the RSS fever.

2005: The Year of the Digital Campus

2005-01-03T13:19:00.000-08:00

The impact of information technology (IT) in the academic environment of higher education was great. Over the last two decades, it provided ever-increasing benefits to campus operational management and program instruction. The integration of IT has become a clear and indispensable operational goal for many institutions of higher education as they move steadily toward the digital campus of tomorrow. Indeed, the upsurge of the so-called digital campus is inevitable. Digital campus has become a continually evolving place in which all of the information and services that constituents need are at their fingertips.

For a digital campus to be helpful, it must build on your existing technologies and regularly grow with new technologies that augment the value of those resources. Take some time to understand the technologies you already have and then, phase in the new ones to match the needs of your institution. Next, ensure that the digital campus project is poised for success within your university’s distinct political environment. You’ll find it particularly beneficial to share some components of your digital campus with users early in the planning process, although you’ll be aware that the initial offering will fall short of meeting their needs. By doing this, you’ll be able to gain insights from all campus constituents, which is critical in building a shared vision for your digital campus.

Also, collaborating with peer institutions and private companies, contributing our expertise and learning from the experience of others is a big plus for digital campus projects. Try to build partnerships with other reputable colleges and universities for you to be exposed to the best practices and industry trends, thus speeding the development of your digital campus.

In addition to the benefits of integration, you’ll find that improvements in operational efficiency, facilitated by the data integration of your communication tools and student information system, will impact the off-line experiences of students. You’ll get to save faculty and staff time, freeing them for more interaction with students. You’ll realize that all of your strategic technology decisions will become easier, and you’ll save money because you already have your web operating system in place.

Moreover, there will be an open dialogue across campus about what your digital campus should and could be: a web forum for the exchange of knowledge and a timesaving tool to free students, faculty members, and administrators for greater interaction with one another. With the technologies and solutions capable of further personalizing the digital campus experience for individual users, it will truly create a unique learning and administrative environment that is rich in educational opportunities for us. After all, digital campuses still have a long way to go!

2005: Year of the Corporate Blog

2005-01-03T11:46:00.000-08:00

“In 2004, we saw a healthy mix of companies such as Yahoo, Google and Microsoft that started corporate blogs. In 2005, I predict we’ll see a significant jump in the number of companies with corporate blogging programs. This seems like a no brainier prediction, but if it’s true, think about how quickly the landscape for communications is going to change in the year 2005,” says Mike Manuel.

Everyone's predicting what 2005 will bring us. But really immense changes always come sneaking up on us. Color digital printing was also predicted to boom like the rest. Blogs may appear as a catalyst in both corporate and non-corporate world. We will see this change rapidly taking place in 2005, not the least reason because there are increasing numbers of communicators and others with real passion who will continue to strongly evangelize the benefits within their organizations.

In the evening of Dec. 1, Microsoft exposed that it planned to take over the world of blogs – the five-million-plus web journals that have blown up on the internet in the past few years. The company's weapon would be a new service called MSN Spaces, online software that allows people to easily create and maintain blogs. It didn't take long for the blogging world to do what it does best: swarm around a new piece of information; push, prod, and poke at it; and leave it either stronger or a bloody mess. The next day, at the widely read Boing Boing blog, co-editor Xeni Jardin opted to do the latter.

As Scoble and Gates say, the weblog or blog can indeed be fabulous for relationships. Blogs are challenging the media and changing how people in advertising, marketing and public relations do their jobs. A few companies like Microsoft are finding ways to work with the blogging world – even as they're getting hammered by it. Suddenly, everyone's a publisher and everyone's a critic.

These are still the early days of blogging, and the form is still morphing. Blogs that host music and video are popping up, people are starting to blog text and photos from their phones, and sites like NewsGator, using a technology called RSS, allow people to subscribe to blogs. Blog advertising companies, which place ads and pay per response, are enabling bloggers to be paid from their sites. And blogging publishers have emerged. Indeed, blogs still have a long way to go!
