Voici quelques articles dont la pertinence/l’intérêt m’ont marqué au cours des derniers jours. Faites-en bon usage ! :-)

• Teaching Twitter at J-school – Editors Weblog – A new course offering from DePaul University in Chicago will teach journalism students how Twitter can be used in the newsroom. The class’s objective will be to instruct future journalists how to sift through all the information that is available through social media sites like Twitter, specifically as it relates to uncovering breaking news and verifying the authenticity of amateur sources.
• Nouvelle tendance lourde: ce qui est Good enough! (pas mal) – @Transnets – “Ne croyez pas au mythe de la qualité!” hurle Clay Shirky depuis son fauteuil de prof de new media à NYU. Les entreprises qui misent là-dessus se gourent. On sait depuis Clayton Christensen que les technologies perturbatrices commencent toujours par s’imposer alors qu’elles ont moins de qualité que celles qui dominent et que les pros y trouvent une bonne raison de les dédaigner.
  Premier exemple: les caméras Flip à deux sous (oui, je sais les prix réels sur Amazon oscillent entre 90 et 180 dollars. Vous allez pas ergoter quand même). En deux ans elles sont parvenues à occuper 17% du marché américain des camcorders (aidez-moi donc si vous avez une traduction).

  Wired remarque au passage qu’en temps de crise c’est tant mieux.
  Second exemple: les MP3. Le son est moins bon que sur un CD mais on peut en gaver nos iPods et les faire circuler sur l’internet. C’est plus commode, donc… Good enough.

• Augmented reality comes to the FT (via @ptaillandier ) – Today’s edition of the Financial Times features an experiment with an emerging technology which is already winning over geeks and marketeers alike: augmented reality.It’s part of a broader analysis piece, Out of the box, about how the twin challenges of digital media and the recession are forcing advertising agencies to rethink the way they do business. And if there’s anything that demonstrates how far we’ve come from the 30-second TV spot, it’s augmented reality.
• Murdoch son: BBC threatens independent journalism – “In this all-media marketplace, the expansion of state-sponsored journalism is a threat to the plurality and independence of news provision, which are so important for our democracy,” Murdoch said.James Murdoch, the 36-year-old executive in charge of News Corp.’s businesses in Europe and Asia, spoke late Friday at the Edinburgh International Television Festival — 20 years after his father delivered a keynote speech at the same event
• Forrester : les +35 ans se mettent aux réseaux communautaires (via @narvic) – Le cabinet d’analyse Forrester Research vient de publier une nouvelle étude sur les réseaux communautaires menée au mois de mai dernier auprès de 4455 participants aux Etats-Unis âgés entre 18 et 88 ans. Selon l’analyste Sean Corcoran « la plupart de la croissance au sein des réseaux sociaux provient désormais des personnes âgées de plus de 34 ans ».En effet, au travers de cette étude, il apparaît que la participation des +34 ans aurait progressé de plus de 60% et plus de la moitié des personnes interrogées entre 34 et 44 ans se sont inscrites à un réseau communautaire.
• Mininova ordered to purge all links to copyrighted files – (via @ADNz ) – Fresh off a set of legal wins against The Pirate Bay, the music and movie industries have just scored another court victory against the massive BitTorrent search engine Mininova. A Dutch judge in Utrecht has given Mininova three months to purge all links to copyrighted content from its site—or pay up to €5 million in penalties.
• Magazine Apps Popular Among iPhone Users – A handful of magazine apps are gaining significant traction among iPhone users. After less than two weeks, Seventeen magazine’s first iPhone app has already made it to the top of the lifestyle category in the Apple iTunes store, among free apps. “We are up to over 130,000 downloads,” said a spokeswoman, who added the “Seventeen Fashion Finder” app knocked Virtual Zippo Lighter out of the top spot (which it held for over a year). “We’ve promoted this everywhere — in the magazine, Web site, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace,” said editor in chief Ann Shoket
• How to Track Your Twitter ROI (via @RolandLegrand) – If you’re using Twitter for business, there will come a point when you, or those you report to, will want proof that your Twitter efforts have a tangible return on investment (ROI). Although the industry metrics for success are still being defined, the nature of link sharing and the opportunities of Twitter search create an environment ripe for tracking.
• Twitter Yields Uneven ROI for News Organizations Using Automation, Curation, Interaction – Quels sont les meilleures tactiques pour un médias sur Twitter ? Faut-il balancer un flux rss ou bien agir “à la main” ? Faut-il interragir à tout prix ou bien s’en tenir à une logique broadcast ? A moins qu’il ne faille faire un peu tout cela à la fois ….
• Une semaine sans web dans la rédac du Monde. (aka, “Le Monde est à la pointe de la techno, twitter toussa.”) – Au départ, c’était une idée simple, banale. On se demandait en riant “comment c’était, avant ?” Avant ou plutôt hier, il y a 15 ans à peine. Comment vivait-on sans Internet ? Comment travaillait-on quand on était journaliste ?

• BBC Hovers On iPhone Apps Due To Apple Terms | mocoNews – While Apple’s iPhone App Store has clocked up a billion downloads and revolutionised the delivery of mobile services in its first year, one notable absentee on the store has been the BBC. While BBC Worldwide debuted Radio Times and Lonely Planet apps, and Livestation is distribution a BBC World News app, the public service broadcaster is still missing.paidContent:UK understands this is due to BBC anxieties over Apple’s terms and conditions – in particular, a concern that it would be left open to “unlimited liability”.

  The corporation is nervous that this would compel it to set aside a large amount of money in case of actions arising from this liability, according to a source – a difficult pill to swallow in these belt-tightening times. Auntie is now negotiating with Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) for an agreement that would mean a smaller financial commitment for it, another source says.

• Tribune Launches Its Own Local HuffPost – Promoted at its beta launch as “Huffington Post meets Facebook,” Chicago Now aggregates and curates local bloggers, which it recruits and compensates on the basis of visits by Chicago-area users, and other content. It also has social networking elements and looks to offer advertisers targeted results.Bloggers are being added regularly, but among those already contributing to the mix are former Chicago White Sox pitcher Jack McDowell, Miss Illinois 2009 Ashley Bond, commentator Dennis Byrne and the band I Fight Dragons. The Chicago Now network also includes blogs such as the CTA Tattler, District 299 and Gapers Block and the Chicago Tribune’s RedEye Web site.
• How Journalists Can Use Google Voice to Improve Their Reporting – The new, free Google Voice service is a game changer for journalists. It gives you flexibility and control over who you talk to, and it can save you a lot of time. Google Voice is currently available by invitation only at google.com/voice. Product Manager Craig Walker said in a recent interview with me that if you request an invite today, the wait “shouldn’t be too long.”
