fidzu : web 2.0

Aujourd'hui, un collègue m'a dit « tu as vu, le Figaro fait un mot-croisé en live sur Facebook » et effectivement , près de 300 internautes faisaient un mot croisé avec deux community managers sur Facebook.

Honnêtement, l'expérience n'était pas au point, mais l'idée n'était pas mauvaise, c'est plutôt bon pour leur « reach Facebook » et surtout c'est une démonstration de leur volonté de créer de nouvelles expériences sur les réseaux sociaux.

Personnellement, je pense qu'il y a beaucoup de choses intéressantes à faire avec le Facebook live.

Comment le live est utilisé aujourd'hui?

Cet outil est déjà exploité de nombreuses façons. Dans les médias, il peut être utilisé pour diffuser des évènements, pour réaliser des interviews et plus précisément des questions/réponses en direct. Il va également être utilisé en tant qu'application de "second screen" pour filmer les coulisses des émissions ou encore pour diffuser les « latests news » avant le journal télévisé.

De façon générale, c'est l'outil idéal pour prolonger une émission en télévision en dehors de ses heures de diffusion.

Et pour votre entreprise, pour votre activité ?

Si vous n'êtes pas un média, mais une boutique, un free-lance, une marque, vous pouvez maintenant créer vos propres émissions à destination de vos clients. En effet, ce format peut être intéressant pour mettre en place des formations, des émissions culinaires ou des tutos bricolages.

Imaginez simplement un bon resto qui demande à son chef d'effectuer en direct une de ses spécialités en donnant la possibilité aux internautes de poser leurs questions. Imaginez le Brico Jardin du coin qui partage des tutos jardin en direct ?

Idéalement, si votre page Facebook est un peu légère, c'est peut-être le bon moment pour mettre en place des partenariats.

Vous êtes plutôt un artiste, un auteur, par exemple, vous pouvez lire les premières pages de votre livre en direct. SI vous êtes musicien, si vous faites du théâtre, de la danse, partagez de courtes périodes de répétitions en direct.

Les community managers inventifs de grandes marques peuvent profiter d'un Facebook live pour lancer des défis aux internautes.

On peut également ressortir ses vieux jeux de société pour leur donner une dimension multimédia.

En fait, il ne tient qu'à vous de vous approprier le Facebook live.

Le protocole « https » assure à l'internaute que les transactions sont cryptées avec un chiffrement comme SSL ou TLS.

Ce chiffrement est nécessaire pour garantir que « the men in the middle », c'est à dire, tous ceux qui peuvent se placer entre vous et le serveur web, ne puissent récupérer vos données sensibles.

À la base, le protocole https était la norme sur les sites qui intégrait une partie de payement en ligne. Aujourd'hui, c'est la norme sur le tout internet. C'est arrivé progressivement avec les médias sociaux qui devaient garantir la sécurité des données de leurs membres, les données pouvant être un mot de passe, par exemple, et ensuite, Google a annoncé en 2014 qu'il prenait ce critère en compte dans le positionnement des sites dans son index. Le https faisait partie des optimisations SEO.

Mais tous les sites ne sont pas passés en https, loin de là, alors Google a progressivement bloqué, avec son navigateur Chrome, des fonctionnalités aux sites non sécurisés, c'est le cas de la géolocalisation en HTML5. Et prochainement, c'est les formulaires qui devraient en faire les frais.

À partir de Chrome 62, les formulaires d'achat, de contact, de recherche et de commentaires déclencheront l'affichage d'un message d'avertissement de Chrome. Et par la suite, il pourrait même bloquer les transactions.

Si vous avez une boutique en ligne non sécurisée, ça pourrait être une catastrophe pour votre chiffre d'affaires.

Comment passer votre site en Https ?

Pour commencer, il vous faut un certificat SSL. L'installation de celui-ci ne nécessite pas de faire appel à un développeur. Vous pouvez le faire vous-même.

Aujourd'hui, beaucoup d'hébergeurs vous en offrent un gratuitement. Il s'agit un certificat letsencrypt à activer depuis votre interface d'admin. Si vous avez plusieurs sites sur le même hébergement, vous n'avez peut-être pas de certificat pour chacun. Il faudra peut-être passer sur une solution payante.

L'autre possibilité, c'est de passer par cloudflare. Cloudflare est un proxy qui se place devant votre hébergement? Il permet d'activer un certificat SSl mais également d'accélérer votre site ou de le protéger contre différentes attaques. Je recommande souvent de passer par Cloudflare.

Une fois que vous avez votre certificat, vous devez vous assurer que votre site puisse répondre correctement à son adresse https. En fait, un site https ne peut appeler aucune image ou script déclarés en http car ce serait une faille de sécurité. Là, il est possible que soyez obligé d'appeler un développeur.

Si votre site tourne sur un CMS comme Wordpress qui sauve des liens complets en DB, s'il n'est pas correctement codé, il faudra effectuer des remplacements dans l'admin, en DB et sur le thème. Techniquement, ce n'est pas compliqué, mais ça peut prendre quelques heures. Certains plug-ins peuvent faciliter la transition.

Si vous utilisez un CMS qui est déjà pensé pour fonctionner en ssl comme mon CMS Swalize, ça sera beaucoup plus simple.

Dans tous les cas, c'est préférable de faire appel à un professionnel. Il vous facturera quelques heures, mais vous serez tranquille.

Croyez-moi, c'est un passage nécessaire.

Si vous avez un site web, un e-commerce, par exemple, c'est intéressant de pouvoir reconnaître la position de votre visiteur. Celle-ci vous permet, par exemple, d'adapter la langue et votre catalogue en conséquence.

L'HTML 5 propose une API qui permet de récupérer la position en latitude et longitude de celui-ci, le problème c'est que cela s'effectue coté client, en javascript, ce qui rend plus difficile la customisation du contenu et ensuite, il faut que l'internaute accepte de partager sa position et s'il refuse, vous ne pourrez plus lui reposer la question.

En fait, l'internaute refuse régulièrement de partager sa position sans bonne raison, sauf peut-être, face à une Google Map.

Pour un site, le plus simple est probablement la localisation par Adresse IP. Pour cela, on fait appel à un webservice ou une base de données que vous mettez à jour régulièrement.

J'ai fait une petite étude récemment sur le taux de fiabilité de cette solution. En faisant appel à mes différents réseaux. J'ai reçu une centaine de réponses venant de France, Belgique, USA et ailleurs en Europe. Comme on m'a demandé à plusieurs reprises de partager les résultats. Voici un petit graphique sur lequel je donne le résultat global.

Voici également quelques détails. Comme on peut s'en douter, c'est aux États Unis que les données sont les plus fiables et c'est en Belgique que les résultats le sont le moins. La France se situe entre les deux.

L'IPv6 est très mal reconnu et en cette période de vacances apparaissent également des soucis avec le roaming. L'internaute est localisé à Bruxelles ou Paris alors qu'il est physiquement à Londres.

Finalement, je pense que la géolocalisation par IP est vraiment très peu fiable. Si vous vous situez dans un pays bilingue comme la Belgique, cela pourrait diriger l'internaute vers la mauvaise langue. Si vous utilisez cette méthode pour personnaliser du contenu, proposez également à l'internaute de pouvoir modifier lui-même sa position.

OpenID Connect(OIDC) 1.0 is a key component of the "Cloud Identity" family of standards. At Oracle, we have been impressed by its ability to support federated identity both for cloud business services and in the enterprise. This is the reason why we recently joined the OpenID Foundation as a Sustaining Corporate Member.

In addition to OIDC, we are also strong proponents of the IETF SCIM standard. SCIM provides a JSON-based standard representation for users and groups, together with REST APIs for operations over identity objects. The schema for user objects is extensible and includes support for attributes that are commonly used in business services, such as group, role and organization.

Federated identity involves two components: secure delivery of user authentication information to a relying party (RP) as well as user profile or attribute information. Many of our customers and developers have asked us: can OIDC clients interact with a SCIM endpoint to obtain or update identity data? In other words, can we combine SCIM and OIDC to solve a traditional use-case supported by LDAP for enterprise applications (bind, attribute lookup) recast for the modern frameworks of REST and cloud services.

Working collaboratively with other industry leaders, we have published just such a proposal[1]. The draft explains how an OpenID Connect RP can interact with a SCIM endpoint to obtain or update user information. This allows business services to use the standard SCIM representations for users and groups, yet have the information conveyed to the service in a single technology stack based upon the OIDC protocols.

SAML, OIDC, SCIM and OAuth are the major architectural "pillars" of cloud identity. We would like to see them work together in a uniform and consistent way to solve cloud business service use-cases. Harmonizing SCIM and OIDC is an important step in that direction.

Today marks the release of MooTools Core and More versions 1.6.0. This is a minor revision that delivers a number of bug fixes as well as the introduction of new features.

The main new adition is Class.Thenable which is a new Class mixin that can be used in Promise style flows by using its then method. When implemented in a Class, it makes the class "thenable" in the Promises/A+ sense of the word, meaning it can be used in Promise style flows by using its then method.

The implementation, however, is more than just a "then" method. Any instance of a Class implementing Class.Thenable is a Promises/A+ compliant object (generally referred to as "a Promise") with only one exception: it is possible to reset the Class's value resolution state fully (rejecting pending reactions, and starting empty) to support a Class instance living for longer than just the lifetime of one value resolution.

Example using Request:

var request = new Request();
request.send().then(function(response){ console.log(response.text); });

Example hooking into a native Promise:

var request = new Request();
var promise = Promise.resolve(request);
request.send();
promise.then(function(response){ console.log(response.text); });

You can find this new version 1.6.0 in the website or within the dist folder of the 1.6.0 tag (Core).

IE warning: This will be the last version to support old IE browsers. Next minor and/or major versions should be only IE11+ compatible. We might still release some patch in the 1.6.x version if needed.

Array.from deprecated, now called Array.convert: Following the conclusion of the ES6 specs we know now that Array.from will have a different implementation than the one MooTools uses.
Because of this we renamed Array.from to Array.convert to not overwrite the Native implementation.
We kept it as it was though in the compat layer for compatibility reasons if you really to use it still.

To keep the API consistency we changed also the name of the method in Function, Number and String Types.

Today we release MooTools Core and More versions 1.5.1. This continues our improvement work for both Core and More and introduces also some features that were in the queue for being added. This release fixes also a regression related to the mousewheel event.
When preparing the 1.5 release we decided that Core 1.5.x will work with More 1.5.x. This means that, inside the 1.5 space, versions should be compatible and you might be seeing Core or More releases that are not simultaneous.

In 1.5.1 we added a new dist/ folder in Core, present at the tagged commit, for those who want the Core source, as well as a needed update so you can get MooTools via Bower.

Worth a notice is also the new MooTools Packager. MooTools has always been about modularity, and for those of you that want to choose which modules to use you can now use the new MooTools Packager (for Node.js/Grunt), as well as the website builder. The new Packager allows to compile source files from the dependencies in the YAML header. You can find it on GitHub and NPM.

The main things in this release are:

• Mousewheel regression fix for Chrome and Firefox. (link)
• DOMEvent's wheel property now listens for DOM3 wheel event also. (link)
• IE8 iFrame leak fix. (link)

Already moonlighting on Chatroulette, the beloved Travelocity Roaming Gnome has decided to participate in the location-sharing movement as well, and will be updating followers about his exotic whereabouts on Foursquare.

The move rounds out the Gnome's social media portfolio - which, in addition to Chatroulette, includes a very active presence on Facebook and Twitter.

Fans can look for the gnome to check in at various locations across London over the course of the weekend, says Travelocity representative Joel Frey.

Frey also tells us that the Gnome's foray into Foursquare was timed with Virgin Atlantic's first seasonal flight from Chicago to London yesterday. In fact, Gnome lovers can check out photos from the glamorous first-class trip on his Facebook Page.

Which brings us to the bigger picture. Location-sharing isn't exactly an activity that can be completed behind a desk. I asked Frey whether or not the Gnome would be open to meeting up with fans during his worldly treks, to which he replied, "We'd love to run into Fousquare friends and will also being do a tweetup on Tuesday evening."

"To have an icon like the Gnome at our disposal to engage with travelers on all of these new communication channels is an amazing opportunity and we'd be foolish not to play," Frey concluded.

We tend to agree and find social media to be the perfect vehicle for the Gnome to spread the Travelocity message. Bon voyage!

In an interesting nugget of Friday afternoon news, Michael Arrington of TechCrunch has posted an article featuring a preview of the upcoming fourth version of the social news site Digg. Founder Kevin Rose has published a glorious 1080p video to YouTube aimed at explaining the new features to publishers. Among the most interesting features is the inclusion of social network contacts into the Digg ecosystem, as well as the ability for publishers to auto-publish stories to Digg via an RSS feed.

Sponsor

Just like when joining most Web services these days, users will be asked to search their Facebook and Twitter accounts (among others) to follow friends and contacts via Digg. The Digg homepage will then default to a page consisting entirely of stories dugg by the users they choose to follow. When browsing articles either on the social "My News" section, or on the more traditional "Top News" tab, users will be able to see which stories their friends have dugg, as well as view their friends' comments directly in-line with the story.

Rose says these new features play into the hands of publishers because the viral aspect of sharing stories with friends will help stories achieve higher digg counts. If one person diggs a story, it shows up on the homepages of their followers, and if they digg it, the process continues. To make the process of getting articles online even simpler, publishers can now claim their RSS feeds and automatically publish their content on Digg without having to visit the site.

These changes and additions may be just what the doctor ordered for Digg which has had to continually delay these updates. Personally the preview looks pretty slick, and may actually bring me back to using Digg on a more regular basis. Check our Rose's video below and let us know what you think in the comments.

The first TechCrunch Disrupt conference kicked off with a bang this week in New York, with Charlie Rose interviewing renown venture capitalists John Doerr, and Yuri Milner. Highlights of the conference included a colorful exchange between TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington and Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz; Sean Parker and David Kirkpatrick discussing the past, present and future of Facebook, and VCs Fred Wilson and Ben Horowitz debating the virtue of the lean vs. fat startup. We also heard from Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber's managers and celebrated the winner of the startup battlefield competition: Soluto. Here's a comprehensive list of all of our coverage of the event.

Topic: Extending Request class → Request.HTML stops working Message: I have extended the Request class to create this sort of functionality. However; this causes the Request.HTML to stop working. I think I understand what the problem is, but I am unsure if this should be considered impossible, or simply a bug? A simple testcase; running on top of 1.2 Request = new Class({ Extends: Request, initialize: function(options) { this.parent(options); this.addEvent('onRequest', this.onAjaxRequest); }, onAjaxRequest: function() { alert('waa?'); }, }); console.log(new Request({url: '/'})); console.log(new Request.HTML({url: '/'})); This code throws 'Request.HTML is not a constructor' when the second Request is performed. Any ideas on how to fix this?
