		<description>Facebook a cette habitude de r&#233;introduire des termes dans notre jargon quotidien. Timeline, mot qu'&#224; choisi de d&#233;finir notre jeune collaborateur Beno&#238;t Olivier, en est un bon exemple. Ligne de vie ou journal, la Timeline, successeur du Wall en d&#233;cembre 2011 est accessible lorsque vous cliquez sur votre nom en haut &#224; droite de votre page Facebook.

 <content:encoded>&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facebook a cette habitude de r&#233;introduire des termes dans notre jargon quotidien. Timeline, mot qu'&#224; choisi de d&#233;finir notre jeune collaborateur Beno&#238;t Olivier, en est un bon exemple. Ligne de vie ou journal, la Timeline, successeur du &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Wall,1067' class='spip_in' hreflang='zh'&gt;Wall&lt;/a&gt; en d&#233;cembre 2011 est accessible lorsque vous cliquez sur votre nom en haut &#224; droite de votre page Facebook. C'est la page &#224; laquelle vos amis (et les amis de vos amis) ont acc&#232;s dans votre espace Facebook.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Toutes vos activit&#233;s sur Facebook sont consign&#233;es sur la Timeline : les billets que vous postez (votre statut du jour ex je vais voir le dernier Soderbergh), mais aussi les expos ; les concerts, les groupes de rock, la derni&#232;re p&#233;tition que vous avez &quot;lik&#233;s&quot;. C'est aussi sur la Timeline qu'apparaissent toutes les informations sur vos &#233;tudes, votre job, votre lieu de r&#233;sidence et bien s&#251;r votre situation familiale, qui en int&#233;ressera plus d'un ou d'une ( Facebook challenge les sites de rencontres comme Meetic).
Si vos amis vous souhaitent votre anniversaire, leurs messages apparaitront sur la Timeline, ainsi que le nombre d'amis qui a pens&#233; &#224; vous ce jour l&#224;. La Timeline retrace toute votre vie Facebook, non pas depuis votre inscription mais depuis votre naissance. Certains ont m&#234;me cr&#233;&#233; un compte Facebook pour leur b&#233;b&#233;, avant m&#234;me qu'il naisse ou avant de le d&#233;clarer &#224; la mairie ! Ce qui ouvre la question du droit &#224; l'image , les b&#233;b&#233;s &#233;tant immortalis&#233;s dans des photos qu'ils n'appr&#233;cieront pas forc&#233;ment plus tard en grandissant (quoi que les photos ne sont pas n&#233;cessairement les plus compromettantes, &#224; cet &#226;ge l&#224; !).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_ps'&gt;&lt;p&gt;La Timeline repr&#233;sentant votre &quot;vitrine&quot; sur Facebook, vous devez en prendre soin. On habille sa page Facebook en y attachant autant d'attention qu'&#224; la d&#233;coration de son salon, sa coupe de cheveux ou &#224; ses v&#234;tements !&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;La premi&#232;re &#233;tape consiste &#224; r&#233;gler les pr&#233;f&#233;rences de confidentialit&#233;, difficile de vous donner des conseils en la mati&#232;re car manager ces pr&#233;f&#233;rences sont r&#233;serv&#233;s aux personnes &#224; haut potentiel. C'est compliqu&#233; et les r&#232;gles du jeu de la confidentialit&#233; sont modifi&#233;es r&#233;guli&#232;rement. De quoi s'y perdre. C'est ainsi qu'on d&#233;couvre qu'une photo de vous en tenue l&#233;g&#232;re, mise en ligne par un ex copain apparait sur votre Timeline, nouvelle version.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Soyez vigilant donc pensez &#224; v&#233;rifier r&#233;guli&#232;rement votre Timeline pour vous assurer qu'un &quot;intrus&quot; ne s'y est pas gliss&#233; avec l'aide d'un ami ind&#233;licat et d&#233;barrassez vous de cet intrus qui pollue votre vitrine num&#233;rique.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;N'h&#233;sitez pas aussi &#224; faire le m&#233;nage r&#233;guli&#232;rement dans votre Timeline pour effacer discr&#232;tement les liens ou vid&#233;os que vous avez post&#233;s et que personne n'a &quot;lik&#233;&quot;. Il faut &#234;tre sans piti&#233; pour cette source potentielle de honte sociale.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dans le troisi&#232;me temps, contr&#244;lez le nombre de pages que vous avez aim&#233;es ou que vous suivez redorera &#224; coup s&#251;r votre page Facebook. L'id&#233;e est de &quot;liker&quot; (ou suivre) suffisamment de pages pour montrer que vous &#234;tes &quot;open minded&quot; sans trop vous d&#233;voiler (moins d'une centaine). De toutes les fa&#231;ons, il est difficile de rester cr&#233;dible en &quot;likant&quot; 30 livres par mois !&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Enfin, dernier point mais non le moindre, choisissez avec soin l'ent&#234;te de votre Timeline. Une belle cover HD c'est plus classe. Idem pour votre photo de profil qui appara&#238;t &#224; c&#244;t&#233; de chacune de vos interventions sur les Timelines de vos amis ou de la votre, choisissez en une qui vous sublime !&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Attention aux exc&#232;s, votre Timeline doit quand m&#234;me refl&#233;ter ce que vous &#234;tes, sinon elle risque de faire sourire vos amis et de g&#233;n&#233;rer des d&#233;ceptions chez ceux qui vous connaissent moins. Il est tentant de donner le sentiment &#224; travers vos &quot;likes&quot;, que vous courez d'une exposition d'art &#224; une autre, que vous ne manquez aucune actualit&#233; litt&#233;raire et que vous vous battez pour de nombreuses causes&#8230;alors qu'en fait vous &#234;tes comme tout le monde, vous parvenez difficilement &#224; finir le roman commenc&#233; le mois dernier, mais vous &#234;tes &quot;accro&quot; &#224; &quot;The Voice&quot; le samedi soir. Vous renoncez &#224; visiter des expos car vous &#234;tes &quot;fil d'attente phobique&quot; et n'avez pas le temps de militer autrement qu'en signant des p&#233;titions num&#233;riques. Timelinez avec mesure !
Cela devient difficile avec la nouvelle version mars 2013 de la Timeline qui vous encourage &#224; partager tous les &#233;v&#232;nements de votre vie quotidienne. Et pour Facebook, un &#233;v&#232;nement ce n'est pas seulement la naissance du dernier ou un nouvel amour dans votre vie, mais l'achat d'une nouvelle monture de lunettes, un changement de colocataire, un nouveau poisson rouge dans le bocal, ou la nouvelle voiture de votre mari&#8230;des rubriques sp&#233;cifiques ont &#233;t&#233; cr&#233;&#233;es pour que vos amis aient l'immense privil&#232;ge d'&#234;tre au courant des ces &quot;&#233;v&#232;nements&quot; qui changent votre vie. Je vous quitte, je dois acheter un paquet de mouchoirs Kleenex, un &#233;v&#232;nement dans ma vie qui m&#233;rite d'&#234;tre consign&#233; dans ma Timeline. Dommage, Facebook n'a pas encore cr&#233;&#233; de rubriques &quot;toiletries&quot; pourtant ce serait l'occasion de d&#233;voiler d'autres pans de notre intimit&#233;. Va falloir qu'on en cause s&#233;rieusement avec Zuckerberg&#8230;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 <content:encoded>&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fomo is one of those acronyms we are seeing more and more on the web: it means &quot;Fear of Missing Out&quot;. Nothing to do with FMI (For More Information) or &quot;Fauxmosexual&#8221; (someone who looks and acts like a homosexual, but isn't). Very interesting, that one, but not exactly relevant to Mynetwords.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Fomo has long been used in real life to mean fear of missing an occasion &#8211; the urge that forces you out of the house on Saturday night in case your friends are having fun without you, as in: &#8220;I'm having an attack of Fomo&#8221;, or even &#8220;I'm a real Fomo&#8221;. Useful, really, especially if you're an inveterate clubber racing from Bouji's to the Ministry of Sound, all the time gnawed by a terrible anxiety that the real fun is happening somewhere else, and you're not there&#8230;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But with the advent of the internet Fomo has become a social phenomenon of real concern to the psychiatric profession, as it causes genuine suffering &#8211; and it's the social networks that are largely to blame.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Large numbers of users of &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Facebook,198' class='spip_in'&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Twitter,256' class='spip_in'&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; and other social networks have in fact become so addicted to their mobile or iPad that they are scared of missing a message about the latest great idea. They just can't bear the thought of their &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Facebook,198' class='spip_in'&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; contacts planning a &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Flashmob' class='spip_in'&gt;Flashmob&lt;/a&gt; without them, or even a trip to the local Indian restaurant.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That's why Fomos never disconnect &#8211; they even fall asleep clutching their smartphone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_ps'&gt;&lt;p&gt;By extension, the Fomo is not just someone who's afraid of being left out of a party, but anyone who doesn't want to miss important work-related information, or even developments in their personal life that may not necessarily be pleasurable. If you check your emails or SMS every 5 minutes, or break off an intriguing phone conversation the minute you get a &#8220;call waiting&#8221; signal, there's a strong chance you, too, are a Fomo. Some use the term as an insult to describe people whose behaviour is sheep-like, meaning that they only ever follow the herd. Put another way, a Fomo is stupid. Doctors and psychiatrists are becoming increasingly worried because the situation appears to be getting worse, with more and more cases of chronic Fomo. This is the most severe stage of the condition, the symptoms of which include updating your &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Status' class='spip_in'&gt;status&lt;/a&gt; on &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Facebook,198' class='spip_in'&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Twitter,256' class='spip_in'&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; while driving. The growth of geolocation applications and their integration into the social networking sites has only aggravated this phenomenon. With geolocation, you can find out if any of your friends are passing through your neighbourhood and offer to meet them for a drink&#8230; but only if you are constantly tuned in to the network. It's easy to see how this can develop into an addiction. Another factor at the root of the problem is the need for recognition, and outright narcissism. People with a strong narcissistic tendency are among the first to suffer from chronic Fomo. They are easy to spot: they are the ones who cannot sign out from &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Facebook,198' class='spip_in'&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; after posting a &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Status' class='spip_in'&gt;status&lt;/a&gt; update or a photo, because they are desperate for people to &quot;like&quot; them. They need their virtual friends to confirm that they like them or their photo (to them, it amounts to the same thing) in order to feel OK. They need their daily fix of &#8220;likes&#8221;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The medical profession is still flummoxed by Chronic Fomo and has not, as yet, found the remedy. Which means that here, at any rate, prevention is a must. If you feel the warning signs coming on, it's time to put yourself into instant rehab: switch off. Not altogether, though &#8212; keeping up with Mynetwords, maybe once a week for the latest updates, is hardly going to turn you into a raving Fomo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 <content:encoded>&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#8220;All you need is a plug-in, and your problem's sorted&quot;. It makes the &quot;plug-in&quot; sound to the &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Geek,203' class='spip_in'&gt;geek&lt;/a&gt; like medicine to the patient. In reality, a plug-in is really more of a palliative: it's a piece of software that supplements the basic software product by offering the &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/User' class='spip_in'&gt;user&lt;/a&gt; new functionality. It's &quot;parasite&quot; software, in the sense that it cannot exist on its own, but has to be plugged in to another software programme in order to function. One of the most widely used plug-ins is Adobe Flash Player, which lets you play a flash animation on a website such as the clouds &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Tag,252' class='spip_in'&gt;tag&lt;/a&gt; on Mynetwords. Without flash animations, the web would be a pretty dull place, so plug-ins are something to be grateful for. There are lots of plug-ins designed to make video games more fun, or make life easier for webmasters (such as &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Google,207' class='spip_in'&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; Analytics, which gives statistical breakdowns of traffic on your website, or the anti-spam module, Mollom). Many of them, inevitably, are deemed so useful they are described as the &#8220;Swiss Army knife&#8221; of the internet.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;People like myself who have no sense of direction use the Mappy plug-in, which detects each address in the text on the websites you visit. You click on the Mappy logo in your personalised toolbar and a Mappy street plan pops up showing you exactly where it is.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Plug-ins are a way for users to personalise their software according to their needs, without overloading the basic product. If every piece of software had to cater to all the different needs of individual internet users, they would be hugely cumbersome.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You download a plug-in like any other piece of software, as long as your operating system and &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Browser' class='spip_in'&gt;browser&lt;/a&gt; are compatible.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Geek,203' class='spip_in'&gt;geek&lt;/a&gt; can develop a plug-in without necessarily having been involved in developing the basic product. You or I could develop plug-ins to make life easier for the internet &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/User' class='spip_in'&gt;user&lt;/a&gt;. Or rather, you could &#8212; I'm still struggling to install some of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_ps'&gt;&lt;p&gt;The word &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Add-on,908' class='spip_in'&gt;Add-on&lt;/a&gt; is often used instead of plug-in, but the idea is the same. Microsoft, of course, has coined its own word for the plug-ins it develops for Microsoft Windows: Power toys. True, it does have a fun ring to it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 <content:encoded>&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;BYOD pour la r&#233;union du 15&lt;/i&gt;&quot; : la premi&#232;re fois que j'ai re&#231;u ce message envoy&#233; par un client par mail, je n'ai pas compris. Je me suis adress&#233;e &#224; notre jeune contributeur Benoit Olivier en esp&#233;rant qu'il saurait d&#233;crypter ce terme.
Non seulement Benoit me l'a expliqu&#233; mais il accept&#233; de le d&#233;finir pour les lecteurs de Mynetwords.
Cette expression hype, abr&#233;viation de l'anglais Bring Your Own Device signifie : Apportez votre appareil personnel. Rassurez vous ce terme, juste impronon&#231;able (Biode en version fran&#231;aise), s'utilise surtout &#224; l'&#233;crit. Le terme est utilis&#233; dans les entreprises qui autorisent ou plut&#244;t incitent leurs employ&#233;s &#224; apporter leur ordinateur ou leur smartphone personnel sur leur lieu de travail.
De plus en plus d'entreprises d&#233;veloppent des applications pour permettre &#224; leurs employ&#233;s de se connecter &#224; leur syst&#232;me informatique avec leur appareil personnel. Normal, en p&#233;riode de crise toute &#233;conomie est bonne &#224; prendre. Les entreprises ne se font pas prier pour r&#233;duire leur budget IT (pour les non initi&#233;s comprendre syst&#232;me informatique et d'information) et laissent volontiers les salari&#233;s acheter leurs propres appareils. De leur c&#244;t&#233; les employ&#233;s pr&#233;f&#232;rent travailler au bureau avec leur IMac ou le dernier Asus en date plut&#244;t que le PC AT d'IBM fourni par leur employeur. Idem pour les &#233;tudiants qui ont trouv&#233; le moyen d'&#233;chapper aux vieux PC Compaq mis &#224; disposition par leur universit&#233;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_ps'&gt;&lt;p&gt;A premi&#232;re vue, le BYOD est une relation win-win ; tout le monde y gagne.
Mais pour l'entreprise comme pour l'employ&#233; le BYOD est une &#233;p&#233;e &#224; double tranchant.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;C'est bien connu, il est plus facile de pirater nos ordi personnels qu'un ordi de bureau. Surtout si vous regardez des films en streaming ou t&#233;l&#233;chargez des fichiers ill&#233;galement, vous &#234;tes une bonne cible pour les hackers qui pourront ainsi esp&#233;rer contaminer l'informatique de votre entreprise. Alors, les entreprises ont impos&#233; leurs conditions, vos &#233;quipements doivent respecter les contraintes des &#233;quipements propri&#233;t&#233; de l'entreprise. Des syst&#232;mes permettant de s&#233;curiser le parc de smartphone ou d'ordinateurs propri&#233;t&#233; des salari&#233;s ont vu le jour, le BOYD repr&#233;sente m&#234;me un nouveau march&#233; pour les Microsoft, Orange&#8230;
En apparence, c'est l'entreprise qui a le plus &#224; gagner avec BYOD puisqu'elle a r&#233;ussi &#224; transf&#233;rer ses d&#233;penses informatiques ou de t&#233;l&#233;phone &#224; ses salari&#233;s en r&#233;glant les probl&#232;mes de s&#233;curisation des donn&#233;es au d&#233;triment de la libert&#233; de ses salari&#233;s : elle peut leur interdir l'acc&#232;s &#224; des sites pour adultes voire des sites de jeux, quand elle ne restreint pas l'acc&#232;s &#224; certains r&#233;seaux sociaux.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;En r&#233;alit&#233;, le salari&#233;, n'est pas le seul &#224; d&#233;chanter par rapport au BYOD. Le gain pour l'entreprise n'est pas si clair : si l'employeur contr&#244;le compl&#232;tement l'utilisation des smartphones ou ordi de leur employ&#233;, en g&#233;n&#233;ral, il se doit de co-financer l'appareil. De plus, il s'expose &#224; des risques juridiques importants. Le dispositif d'effacement des donn&#233;es de l'ordinateur, &#224; distance permet de prot&#233;ger l'entreprise dans le cas o&#249; le le salari&#233; se fait voler son terminal, mais une fausse manip est vite arriv&#233;e, ex l'informaticien de l'entreprise efface les photos de vacances &#224; distance&#8230;les cons&#233;quences au plan juridique peuvent &#234;tre importantes.
Enfin le co&#251;t pour g&#233;rer-s&#233;curiser cet ensemble d'&#233;quipement (tel, ordinateurs) h&#233;t&#233;rog&#232;ne, au final, est &#233;lev&#233;.
C'est pourquoi nombre de DSI (direction service information) r&#233;sistent en France &#224; la vague BYOD. A peine la moiti&#233; accepte que leurs salari&#233;s utilisent leur ordi ou tel portable dans le cadre de leur travail contre plus de 70 % en Chine ou aux USA.
Certaines pr&#233;f&#232;rent le COPE (corporate owned personally enabled) au BYOD : l'entreprise ach&#232;te les terminaux pour les employ&#233;s qui les g&#232;rent ensuite eux m&#234;me (ces terminaux sont s&#233;curis&#233;s par l'entreprise). L'employeur pense ainsi r&#233;duire le risque juridique (il est propri&#233;taires des appareils), faire des &#233;conomies en termes d'achat (achats group&#233;s) et de maintenance (syst&#232;me homog&#232;ne).
En attendant, BYOD a d&#233;j&#224; trouv&#233; sa place dans nombre d'entreprises et notamment dans les directions commerciales.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Certains salari&#233;s craquent et finissent par acheter deux ordinateurs celui mis &#224; disposition de son entreprise et le vrai perso, qui &#233;chappe au contr&#244;le de leur employeur. Maintenant que certaines entreprises ont pris gout au BYOD, on peut s'attendre au pire, pourquoi ne pas appliquer ce principe aux repas : chacun am&#232;ne sa gamelle et l'entreprise supprime la cantine, chacun am&#232;ne ses papiers, crayons et pourquoi pas sa voiture de mani&#232;re &#224; ce que leur employeur taille dans ses couts &quot;papier&quot; et all&#232;ge sa flotte automobile. Le BYOD n'a pas dit son dernier mot, vous voil&#224; pr&#233;venus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

		<description>In researching the word &#8220;SEO&#8221; (search engine optimisation), I discovered that there's a whole debate on the web: is SEA (search engine advertising) the same thing as SEM (search engine marketing), which has now become SEO? Everyone has a different equation, like SEM = SEO + SEA. For a literary type like me, these definitions consisting of equations of acronyms are pretty off-putting. But I persevere, because these terms crop up too often on the web to be able to ignore them. SEM seems to be (...)

 <content:encoded>&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;In researching the word &#8220;SEO&#8221; (&lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Search-engine' class='spip_in'&gt;search engine&lt;/a&gt; optimisation), I discovered that there's a whole debate on the web: is SEA (&lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Search-engine' class='spip_in'&gt;search engine&lt;/a&gt; advertising) the same thing as SEM (&lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Search-engine' class='spip_in'&gt;search engine&lt;/a&gt; marketing), which has now become SEO? Everyone has a different equation, like SEM = &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/SEO,1125' class='spip_in'&gt;SEO&lt;/a&gt; + SEA. For a literary type like me, these definitions consisting of equations of acronyms are pretty off-putting. But I persevere, because these terms crop up too often on the web to be able to ignore them. SEM seems to be the umbrella word that encompasses all the others. &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Search-engine' class='spip_in'&gt;Search Engine&lt;/a&gt; Marketing covers all those techniques used to get your website up there among the first results a &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Search-engine' class='spip_in'&gt;search engine&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Google,207' class='spip_in'&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;, Yahoo, etc.) brings up. For instance, if you search the word &#8220;notebook&#8221;, &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Google,207' class='spip_in'&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; shows a range of items from laptops to a film to actual stationery. The aim of SEM is to have your stationery supply business up there at the top of the first page. SEM uses a blend of paying techniques such as Adwords, which lets you buy key words, and buying sponsored links (which appear at the top of the page in a coloured window, or on the right hand side of your computer screen).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;SEM is also used to refer to so-called natural, &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Free' class='spip_in'&gt;free&lt;/a&gt; of charge referencing techniques. These would include choosing key words to describe your website that will attract the attention of internet users and search engines. For example, the words used in your website's &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/URL,264' class='spip_in'&gt;URL&lt;/a&gt;, in the description of the website, and so on (a meta &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Tag,252' class='spip_in'&gt;tag&lt;/a&gt; in the title is another). There are also &#8220;off-page&#8221; techniques you can use elsewhere than on your website: you might, for example, &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Post,236' class='spip_in'&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; a comment on a &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Blog,182' class='spip_in'&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; with a link to your own website, knowing that search engines produce their rankings mainly on the basis of the number of links to your website. The ones with the most links are obviously the best positioned.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_ps'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over time, SEM has become more restricted in meaning, with increasing number of web marketing professionals taking the view that SEM refers only to paying techniques as opposed to &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/SEO,1125' class='spip_in'&gt;SEO&lt;/a&gt;. And the debate rumbles on: we'll have to wait and see which acronym comes out on top. Some English speakers have tried to suggest SM, which is admittedly a much sexier acronym. From now on, when you update your &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Status' class='spip_in'&gt;status&lt;/a&gt; you can say that you are getting heavily into SM and nobody will be able to complain &#8211; it's a perfectly professional thing to be doing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 <content:encoded>&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Crawler, a word suggested by Sophie Licari, is not one you'll find in the next lane at the swimming pool. It's a software programme used by search engines (e.g. &lt;a href='https://mynetwords.com/Google,207' class='spip_in'&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;) to trawl the web (websites, social networks, etc) for page content to archive so that it can be used later in their indexes and will show up in the results when a &lt;a href='https://mynetwords.com/User' class='spip_in'&gt;user&lt;/a&gt; searches for that content. Are you with us so far?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;To be more specific, if you search the word &quot;crawler&quot;, it will take you to all the websites (e.g. &lt;a href='https://mynetwords.com/Wikipedia,275' class='spip_in'&gt;wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;), blogs, and so on containing that word on their page, thanks to the &lt;a href='https://mynetwords.com/Google,207' class='spip_in'&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; crawler which has archived and indexed those pages by key word. There's a corresponding verb, to crawl, in other words to scan the web for material to compile the page index. &#8220;My website obviously hasn't been crawled by Google&#8221; means that &lt;a href='https://mynetwords.com/Google,207' class='spip_in'&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; hasn't yet found it or indexed it, in other words if you type in a key word from a page on the website, you won't see that website on the &lt;a href='https://mynetwords.com/Google,207' class='spip_in'&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; search results page (which gives all the links corresponding to that key word). Another term sometimes used instead is &quot;bot&quot; (short for robot) or &quot;spider&quot;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You might think a word that suggests slow and painful movement hardly reflects the frenetic activities of robots searching the web. But that would be to underestimate the immense, complex and painstaking nature of the work these robots do, which can only be done at a methodical crawl&#8230;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_ps'&gt;&lt;p&gt;For web marketing pros, the name of the game is how to attract the crawlers' attention, to be sure that their websites and pages will be optimally indexed and referenced. Each crawler has its own approach to indexation. And, with the web marketers (see under &lt;a href='https://mynetwords.com/SEO,1125' class='spip_in'&gt;SEO&lt;/a&gt;) getting increasingly adept at putting their websites to the fore and ensuring they feature near the top of the &lt;a href='https://mynetwords.com/Google,207' class='spip_in'&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; results pages, the crawlers keep their page selection criteria a closely guarded secret. The verb &#8220;to crawl&#8221; is gradually taking on a broader meaning: it is no longer confined to robots, but can be used to describe a search of the web by an internet &lt;a href='https://mynetwords.com/User' class='spip_in'&gt;user&lt;/a&gt;, as in &#8220;I haven't crawled Mynetwords yet&#8221;. Meaning that you haven't yet connected to Mynetwords to look for the answer to your question.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It's starting to appear in real life, too. Soon you won't be leafing through the fashion magazines, it will be &quot;I need to crawl Vogue and ELLE to find that fab pair of boots&#8221;. Not such a great idea of you're a man, though, as the word has too many negative connotations: think of &#8220;kerbcrawling&#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Selon le dico, un thread est un fil, en coton ou en soie&#8230; j'&#233;tais donc bien avanc&#233;e. Evidemment, c'est le web qui m'a fourni la r&#233;ponse. Tous ceux et celles qui sont actifs sur les forums savent depuis longtemps qu'un thread est un fil&#8230;.de discussions, c'est &#224; dire un sujet qui suscite des &#233;changes sur un &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Forum' class='spip_in'&gt;forum&lt;/a&gt;, des commentaires sur &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Facebook' class='spip_in'&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; ou autre &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Reseau-social' class='spip_in'&gt;r&#233;seau social&lt;/a&gt;, voire m&#234;me une cha&#238;ne de mails. Concr&#232;tement, si vous souhaitez poser une question sur la sciatique de votre belle fille, aux membres de Doctissimo afin de connaitre leurs trucs pour apaiser la douleur, deux options sont possibles : soit le sujet est d&#233;j&#224; trait&#233;, quelqu'un a d&#233;j&#224; pos&#233; la question et vous pouvez alors consulter les r&#233;ponses, demander une pr&#233;cision, vous vous inscrivez dans le fil d'un thread existant.
Autre option personne n'a jamais pos&#233; de question sur la sciatique (ce qui est fort peu probable), vous devez donc cr&#233;er ou ouvrir un nouveau thread.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mais comme rien n'est jamais simple, sachez que Thread a &#233;galement une autre signification en informatique : Il s'agit d'un processus l&#233;ger qui va permettre &#224; un programme court d'&#234;tre ex&#233;cut&#233;. Si vous n'&#234;tes pas un r&#233;el &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Geek' class='spip_in'&gt;geek&lt;/a&gt;, si vous n'&#234;tes pas informaticien ou &#233;diteur de site, cette d&#233;finition ne vous concerne pas, la premi&#232;re est bien plus courante.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_ps'&gt;&lt;p&gt;Le thread donne souvent lieu &#224; des frictions entre membres d'un m&#234;me &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Forum' class='spip_in'&gt;forum&lt;/a&gt; ou d'un m&#234;me r&#233;seau.
En effet la communication au sein d'un r&#233;seau, d'un &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Forum' class='spip_in'&gt;forum&lt;/a&gt; ob&#233;it &#224; des r&#232;gles bien pr&#233;cises. En particulier, vous &#234;tes cens&#233; cr&#233;er un thread &#224; chaque fois que vous posez une question nouvelle, pas abord&#233;e par les threads existants.
Il est tr&#232;s impoli de poser une question sur la pr&#233;sence de Tortues g&#233;antes &#224; l'Ile Maurice dans le cadre d'&#233;changes portant sur le sujet &quot;r&#233;duire le co&#251;t de vos vacances &#224; Maurice&quot;. Vous ne pouvez pas interpeller les membres d'un r&#233;seau qui se pr&#233;occupent de leurs deniers, sur un sujet &quot;animalier&quot;. Ce n'est pas conforme &#224; la &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Netiquette' class='spip_in'&gt;Netiquette&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Vous &#234;tes d&#233;sormais pr&#233;venu, si vous ne cr&#233;ez le bon &quot;thread&quot;, vous pourriez faire l'objet d'un vrai &quot;threat&quot; (menace).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;En attendant, le terme &quot;thread&quot; fait son chemin avec succ&#232;s, il commence m&#234;me &#224; trouver sa place dans notre langage &quot;In real life&quot; : au bureau, par exemple au lieu de dire &quot;on va proposer la prime de No&#235;l &#224; l'ordre du jour de la r&#233;union du 30 novembre&quot; vous pouvez dire &quot;on va proposer &quot;la prime de No&#235;l&quot; comme thread &#224; la r&#233;union du 30 novembre&quot;. Thread d&#233;poussi&#232;re le terme &quot;sujet &#224; traiter ou &quot;point de l'ordre du jour&quot;. Parions que sous peu, les mauvaises notes de votre ado, feront l'objet d'un thread au prochain diner de famille !&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 <content:encoded>&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;As we all know, if you fail it means you've &#8211; well, screwed up. Spectacularly, in fact, if you do it online (and countless people do) or, especially, on &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Twitter,256' class='spip_in'&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;. Here, if you try to &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Tweet,260' class='spip_in'&gt;tweet&lt;/a&gt; and see the &#8220;Fail Whale&#8221; symbol, it means the network is overloaded. Also, &#8220;Fail&#8221; has come to be used for blunders such as sending a private message by mistake to all your contacts or &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Followers,201' class='spip_in'&gt;followers&lt;/a&gt;, thus making it &#8211; very &#8211; public.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The politicians and celebs who send the most tweets are obviously the most likely victims of a Fail. It happened recently to TV presenter Russell Brand, who tweeted a photo of his now ex-wife, singer Katy Perry, without makeup. He claimed it had been a mistake. Or Britain's best-known black politician, Diane Abbott, who rather rashly tweeted that &#8220;white people love playing divide and rule&#8221;, which earned her a reprimand from the party leader. There's nothing you can do to un-tweet a Fail. Once tweeted, it's out there. Even if you delete the message from your own &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Twitter,256' class='spip_in'&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; account, there are hundreds or thousands of &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Followers,201' class='spip_in'&gt;followers&lt;/a&gt; who still have it on theirs. It's also possible to Fail on &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Facebook,198' class='spip_in'&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, if you &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Post,236' class='spip_in'&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; a message on your &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Wall' class='spip_in'&gt;wall&lt;/a&gt; that was only meant for one of your friends &#8211; but to do that, you have to suffer a real loss of concentration. It only needs a moment's inattention on &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Twitter,256' class='spip_in'&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are several options if you commit a Fail:
You can deny it and claim to have been the victim of a &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Hoax,215' class='spip_in'&gt;hoax&lt;/a&gt; or a &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Hacker,211' class='spip_in'&gt;hacker&lt;/a&gt; (&#8220;It wasn't me who wrote that message on my &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Twitter,256' class='spip_in'&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; account, it was a pirate&#8221;). The kind of thing tried by US Senator Anthony Weiner, in an attempt to explain away his infamous &#8220;boxer shorts&#8221; Fail&#8230;. before he caved in and admitted it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You can try to put a positive spin on it or subtly change it's meaning, or claim it was a DM (direct message) fail &#8211; but that's unlikely to be very credible either.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Or you can do it the Spike Lee way: after a Florida teenager was recently shot by a neighbourhood watch captain, the director retweeted what he believed was the address of the killer to his &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Followers,201' class='spip_in'&gt;followers&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; over 250,000 of them. It was the wrong address. Lee is reported to have paid an undisclosed sum of money to the real owners of the address, a retired couple, as compensation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ashton Kutcher, a serial offender, is rumoured to have handed over control of his &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Twitter,256' class='spip_in'&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; account to his manager.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If the Fail ends up costing you your job, your reputation or your marriage, that's called Twimmolation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_ps'&gt;&lt;p&gt;It has to be said, in Twitter's defence, that the network was never intended as a way of sending private messages. &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Twitter,256' class='spip_in'&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; should be regarded more as a marketplace, a virtual public space where opinions can be exchanged. That explains why, in ergonomic terms, the network was not designed to limit the risks of a Fail. It took just one wrong letter for Weiner to ruin both his career and his marriage. When he entered the name of the recipient of his very personal message he hit the &#8220;@&#8221; sign instead of the letter &#8220;D&#8221; which would have sent his &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Tweet,260' class='spip_in'&gt;tweet&lt;/a&gt; directly to the lady in question &#8211; and only her &#8211; with no questions asked. It's quite easy to mistake the @ for the D, which is why there are apparently millions of Fails every day! The solution? Don't use &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Twitter,256' class='spip_in'&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt; to send &#8220;private&#8221; messages, stick to good old email; it may be less trendy but it's also a lot less risky.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The term Fail has become so widespread on the web that it has begun to spill over into daily life. People no longer ask if you've heard about the latest gaffe so-and-so has made, but &#8220;did you hear his Fail?&#8221;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;By extension, the term Fail has come to mean any kind of embarrassing marketing error. A poster for the hugely successful French film &#8220;Intouchables&#8221;, one of whose main characters is a wheelchair &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/User' class='spip_in'&gt;user&lt;/a&gt;, mentioned that the cinema showing it had no access for people with reduced mobility &#8230;. earning the dubious distinction of the &#8220;worst fail in cinema history&#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 <content:encoded>&lt;div class='rss_texte'&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to Duncanben, who suggested the word, flooding consists of &#8220;flooding a network, &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Forum,1165' class='spip_in'&gt;forum&lt;/a&gt; or chatroom with repetitive or useless messages&#8221;. Some would go so far as to label any &#8220;off subject&#8221; comment as flooding. So, when an internet &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/User' class='spip_in'&gt;user&lt;/a&gt; posts a question about ecology in a discussion about equality between men and women, it's interesting but completely off the point, therefore it's flooding. These comments disrupt forums and discussions on the web. While not in themselves pointless or maliciously intended, it's the number of them that's the problem. They clog up forums so that interesting comments are drowned in a sea of irrelevant messages, which puts off many users of such forums.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Flooding can also be used with malicious intent, for instance to disrupt the functioning of a website. If you send it the same request (for example, download the same photo) several hundred times in a short period, the website might be temporarily brought down. The perpetrator of the flood or flooding is a flooder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div class='rss_ps'&gt;&lt;p&gt;You get the message: flooding is bad, like &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/SPAM,250' class='spip_in'&gt;Spam&lt;/a&gt; or trolls. Flooders are preferable to trolls however as, unlike trolls, their messages are not, generally speaking, malicious or insulting. But this can all start to get out of hand. Lately I've been hearing comments like &#8220;that's a flood&#8221; to describe a message from someone who clearly wasn't Einstein. It's a short step from there to labelling any comment with low added value, like &#8220;super&#8221;, &#8220;love it&#8221;, &#8220;LOL&#8221; and so on as flooding. If you are low on ideas and &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Post,236' class='spip_in'&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; a &#8220;nice&#8221; message, you might get treated like a flooder. Not good for the ego. If the internet gets to the point where everyone thinks they have to &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Add' class='spip_in'&gt;add&lt;/a&gt; substantial value each time they &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Post,236' class='spip_in'&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; a comment, it will start to feel just like being back at school. So, let's not be too harsh on the occasional posters who, in an unguarded moment, give rein to their enthusiasm by posting comments like &#8220;brilliant!&#8221;. Without them, visitors to blogs, websites and forums would be far less active and there would be far fewer comments. The losers in the end would be the bloggers and the website and &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Forum,1165' class='spip_in'&gt;forum&lt;/a&gt; editors, as even floods have their uses on the web: expressions like &#8220;super&#8221; and &#8220;LOL&#8221; are to chatrooms what &#8220;uh huh,&#8221; &#8220;like, ok&#8221;, or &#8220;yeah, I get it&#8221; are to our conversations In Real Life &#8211; they lubricate the flow. So let's not be hypocritical about this: as bloggers, we like having messages of congratulation from our visitors. They may not have invented web 3.0 or be bursting with originality, but they still encourage us to &lt;a href='http://mynetwords.com/Post,236' class='spip_in'&gt;post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
