Without e-comms, I will not be here :-)

I am in Celsa in order to complete my job profile and skills. You know now that I was (am) journalist and it's a hard competition to work in freelance.
One year ago, I decided to take in hand my life. I make a trainee at Doranco School to improve my computer skills.
I enjoy to be at the University now. I had to do it !

Less and less afraid about e-technologies !

During the english class, I really dicovered MSN, the webcam and Easy CV. It's not a joke but if I like very much Internet's opportunities and that every day I learn new softwares, new tools etc I have never used an instant messenger ! Last year, I began to express myself on a blog but actually I didn't really passionate by this support (above all I prefer writing for people who read me !)

And for the first time, I put videos on You Tube and I'm very proud and happy about this ! I will share it with friends and family. I learnt to handle my camera with its function video. Moreover, I learnt to add widgets on photos and videos. That's enjoyable !

Crowdsourcing ?

I have never heard this expression but maybe the wiki tool is a part of crowsourcing... The free encyclopedia Wikipedia or the cityzen site Agora Vox are some websites that anybody complete. The result is a work in common.

"Mass media against the medias of the mass ?"

A scheme is sometimes more easy than great theories !

Internet : a new space for political confrontation

"To remove the politics dust"

According to a french news L'express, the militant websites are increasing this year. For the presidential election, we can count it by hundreds. For example, the PS has got 237 sites and UDF 206. But the real innovation in this election campaign is videos. For the candidate Segolene Royal, it was difficult : the sequences about Bourdieu and teachers (download a million times) discredit her. On the other hand, Sego and her team create Desirs d'avenir, a web 2.0 plate-form which contribute to it's electoral opening. The citizens took part in the debate.

In my opinion, the phenoma will go on. In United States, this new way of using Internet is important to get a democratic image. Net surfers are under the impression that politics affairs are transparent. But I don't think so. Don't forget there is a lot of disinformation, lot of talks are out context. Anybody can broadcast anything. But let's have confidence, the web community is less and less credulous. So I think the best information political web sites will continue to furnish debates.

EMI without DRM

You understood that I like music and I worry for the problems concerning free download on Internet. In France, government write a lot of reports, converse with the music network, try to find solutions... In the country of l'exception culturelle, the DADVSI's law protect artists and their rights. So the Digital Right Management was perfect to control access.


But nobody can stop the progess, the digital technologies are current. Moreover, all the world is connecting, so it'a common assent which must be settled.


Last month EMI Music put on i-tunes all his catalog without DRM. The customers have the ability to download tracks without any restrictions.

I recommend also these 2 sites : Rock You or Slide to create a slide show to customise your pics.
For example, in this post : it's a rock band - friends of mine. Their name : Clint (I added a link to My Space to discover them) They have already played in New York and they received prices for their music and starring.
But be carefull : too much effects kill the effect !

Explain the new internet model called a social network. Give some examples and explain what their purposes and user groups are.

A social network is a web tool, an application to share CV, professionnal contact (Viadeo, LinkedIn) you can also find love or friends (meetic) ! It permits you to connect with a lot of people - that on real life you would never had met. The user groups want to grow their relationship. Then they have more opportunities, they have more choices.
