J 'aime GeoTweeter my life

I have a brief class in the category n 'importe quoi to all the owners ' s iPhone: I can only advise you 'GeoTweeter using an application available on the "App Store that allows you to tweeter Easily favorites and find them via your iPhone or via the website Schmap.com.

It is possible to attach a photo, telephone, address, email address, a website, a comment, a note.

My last GeoTweets are here.

And a big bravo to Schmap who I think will come to build a solid foundation for UGC behind, offering value added services in the field of tourism and recreation.

Exalead launches its beta version

Like a lot of 'I think other bloggers, I ' ve received today an invitation to the new beta version of the search engine general public 's Exalead.

C 'est donc avec impatience that I threw it because I ' admits to having always appreciated products Exalead and j 'avais over l ' opportunity to participate in a working group rather interesting although 'a little décousu there are already several months of that.

So my first returns of the recall is the only beta.

Everything 's first j ' ve been a little disappointed that 'Exalead n ' increases the size of its index. It remains to be 8 billion pages. Although it 'there is some time it has apparently been given to double the size of the index n that ' s obviously not always the case.

At the same time I regret also the Commission 's Exalead who wants to play as 2.0 and that ' s yet allows others to leave without raponse mails, mails, however, continued to telephone exchanges.

All that to say that these 8 billion pages involve 3 people full time in maintenance and 360 servers. What is little!

[Figures qu 'Exalead has refused to confirm the past 12 months ... so unofficial]

Disappointing second point: the relevance.

No 'improvement from this point of view.

I do not understand several points because I find the classification results very different from what I found on the two great classics Yahoo and Google. J 'ai l ' impression qu 'il manque some anti-spam algorithms, and I ' ve also l 'impression that the ranking of relevance depends heavily de l ' URL, title, and I think also number of backlinks without necessarily qu 'il y ait weighting matches related topics / keywords between different binding sites.

J 've tested on three applications: "Intelligence " and "Frédéric Martinet".

On "economic intelligence" j 've found the results quite different from what I found elsewhere and not necessarily d ' une grande qualité sorpus on this site that I know elsewhere.

 ""

On "Frédéric Martinet" the second result is a directory where toulousain when I do a search to the inside the source code I can find no string match with my query.

 ""

Regret also still no news in this part beta d 'Exalead.

Still not d 'extraction ' named entities then qu 'Exalead offers these features in its enterprise search and what remains one of the most interesting.

A final least: still no advanced search form. Always type the advanced search operators by hand.

Improvements:

Pubs in the list of results take up less space

The zappette (tab 's refining results) has been slightly adjusted.

 ""

The graphic in line with the new corporate website is more pleasant, more lightly.

That ...

I therefore does not affect the intrinsic values d 'Exalead mainly due to its concept of zappette to target a subpart d ' a body without ever distort the corpus and also d 'give the first tracks understanding through clustering.

Not a spectacular pour l 'in short time but we can bet that this beta version will be rapidly improved to meet the returns from beta testers.

How to choose the right tool?

in course, it goes without saying, watch ...

That is far too long that I abandoned this blog or pubbli that occasionally too. Writing d 'articles in the press, a change of ' professional life, to confront climate change, ... short, all this is that, shame on me, I'll away, O you, reader.

As a good economist that I am I will try to optimize my time and I therefore give you this article entitled "How to choose the right tool?" Published in Regards sur l 'Intelligence (aka RIE for intimate) No. 29 of June and also distributed on i-Expo 2009.

In this article I approach book out from the analysis of need based on the 'use of essential questions and systematic method based on the QQOQCCP - Who, What, Where, When, How, How, Why.

This method used widely in the field of quality but also in the phases of systems projects 'information can be applied to ' s analysis of the need to lead to the construction of 'specifications and can also be used to manage the project deployment of the selected watch.

In the second part of this article we also find two or three councils for the use of 'apprentice editor specifications in saver device such as:

  • Think of your market lottie from the time you want the features that you know - or at least should know - that 'they are rarely offered by the same publisher.
  • N 'ask not that your competitors ' répndent they all criteria, telling them that otherwise their offer will not be considered: c 'is unnecessary and it gets especially candidates to hide their shortcomings in relation to your needs.
  • Prioritize your needs and do not close the door to joint responses. Although 'a little more troublesome to manage them can often s prove rich.
  • Il n 'ya pas de formule idéale between SaaS and hosted at the client. It depends on your structure, your CIO, you need access, bandwidth, ...
  • C 'est à l ' editor to explain how the solution meets your needs: It 's not up to him to tell you that you are wrong on your needs, d ' try to give you a Rolls Royce then you want a Renault. But this entails that your need is clearly formalized (see method QQOQCCP)

And yet few things you will not find in that article:

  • Avoid to call for proposals in July / August ... This is common sense but still happens too often.
  • Consult widely: even if this is more annoying to strip the responses made by some to help you understand the answers given by d 'others.

This, therefore, l 'article "How to choose a tool?" - Regards sur l ' IE - N ° 29 - June 2009

J 've written this article as part of my professional activities within Spotter, Publisher solutions and service provider in Business Intelligence, Strategy and ensure image.

PS: In addition there is my picture, so that j 'still hear "AAAAAHH, but it ' s you Actulligence "! :)

PS2 's more to come soon ...

[Updated 02/07/2009] A very interesting note from Camille [Spintank connection] complements this article by a theme, unfortunately I don 've been unable to for lack of signs: the need for customization projects ensures both with a personalized watch the perimeter and also by the music of different tools to address the functional deficiencies of each other to both cover an area the web as well as possible echauustif a functional device near planned target. So thank you to Camille for his analysis that I agree completely.

Can 's also usefully playing the ball by that of Camille Jean Dubearnes on constructi ...

White Flag pacifies the web shots of the White Paper

 "" White Flag, which qualifies as an agency for peace consumers - j 'says that the word pacify m ' a smile .... je ne sais pas si c 'is intentionally ironic, but the pacification c ' est un little l 'omelette that ' there will never be able to do so without breaking eggs ... - Has just published a white paper entitled "Dealing with e-reputation".

If I 'en fais l ' c echo 's simply because I ' ve found really good. At the same time makes sense that many 's too often forget businesses and councils who feel really good ' s professional experince.

These synthetic quelquespages achieve a subtle harmony, bringing the reader 's important not to over-simplify the recommendations which should not fall into a Manicheism primary.

The White Paper énumlère eg brakes psycchologiques that may discourage a business to speak on the Internet deal with its critics: the difficulty of reconnaittre mistakes in public, act of contrition and d 'humility often necessary to resume a dialogue broken that 's fuel controversy still a conversation that can be read by all ...

Apart from some other points also essential that reserve the use of legal votes ultimately obvious libel or riding, there are also three short examples: VIF (Very Important Ants), active members and consumers cdiscount.com which are the main pillars d 'a community which now comprised 30 000 members, the visit organized by the FAI Alice with influencers community aliciens following a breakdown of the hotline, and l ' later use of Twitter business (Twits detection and response on the fly.)

Copernic and Mamma sells abandoned its historic metasearch

In what appears to have been an approximate translation of 'a press release a bit too fast and walked synthesized approximately equally, the site LesAffaires.com announced the sale by Copernicus Mamma.co m Empresario.

Admittedly, this part is correct, at least if the sale is approved by the shareholders of Copernic at the 'Meeting of 17 June 2009.

By LesAffaires.com against Copernic announced that intends to focus its activities on its product Desktop Search and its software suite Copernic Agent Professional, Copernic Tracker and Copernic Summarizer.

Aberration if the ', judging by the total abandonment of any development on the three latest products Agent Tracker and Summarizer.

Copernic I therefore confirm that the products Officer, Tracker and Summarizer be maintained but that 'no development or updates to such solutions n ' is currently being planned.

C 's property on the part that Copernic Desktop Search is currently focusing its development efforts and its new products such as MyCopernic announced soon.

If the sale of Mamma.com to Empresario is validated, it should allow Copernicus, to receive 'a windfall, enabling it to both get rid of ' a source of income bandwidth consumption and l future flourishing little even in the words of the leaders of Copernicus and d 'investment in R & D on the development of products whose potential seems promising in terms of sales growth on Corporate Copernic Agent ' s 2008.

My opinion of Use / watchman / Knowledge Worker:

- It is really sad to see that the market for search on the Internet is blocked at this point now, so that a player is reduced to abandon esport on any products that had made him famous. But it must be s 'do, Google responds to the main expectations of Internet users in terms of ' accès à l 'information ... In short a great pity for Copernic Agent Professional, finished product, clean, dated but certainly professional (in any case he bugue rarely!) Which had also watch features on research interest. A product that I believe could have significant progress with investments in R & D relatively limited.

- Moreover Copernicus made indisputably logical choice. Today 's product Copernic Desktop Search is the best in my Desktop Search on the site. Quick, well-designed, comprehensive in terms of features, it is perfect but there 's an advance on its competitors. Do not you hide, I 've cracked and I ' ve been the same 'acquisition for staff of the professional version, and I ' m glad!

- J 'attends avec impatience d ' avoir plus d 'information on future products ...!!! And I 'hopes that it will come soon. Also to be kept informed from the start of MyCopernic, just s 'register by mail or monitor the feeds.
