Giving the Real Value to the Economy of the Links


The economy does not support trade links. This is, however, some stubbornness in seeking notoriety in this way, rather than pursuant to the left as contained in its web. And the worst thing creyéndose doing a great SEO strategy. The time will leave them in place.

There are ways to get instant links to your own site, but within the economy of the links would be like the dopping in sport, for example valid. Adulteration the importance of what we really want to tell, but it is within reach. Another thing is autoenlaces, or link by web sites to their own content on an ongoing basis, as a way to retain the user as long as possible and thus get more pageviews (intuit that there is a reason behind economic and positioning Google and its pagerank). Is Objectionable? No. Does ethics? Nor. Is there the future of the site? It should not, but big names as The New York Times, Business Week or Techcrunch with his new idea, Business Exchange, defended the latter approach, and try to use the links as pure and tough economy.

I understand that I am inclined to the idea of liaison purist, but the truth is supposed to be linked, for whom he succeeds, a prize, and who performs it, one way to improve the ideas you want to translate, and in sum, to emphasize on the content and conversation. We should not forget the essence of the recommendations.

Update: In copyblogger have an entry that abounds in the idea of creating quality content over other things, and even spoke of the 4 C model to gauge the quality of a diamond.

Linkae, the Online Social Marker Microblogging



We are going with another of those online utilities that many people do not understand at first and be devoted to criticize, because they will have something else to do. And do not read because the mix two concepts, the markers of social functions together with microblogging services.


If you have not become an idea, nothing happens, we talk about Linkae a simple marker with social functions microblogging, available entirely in Spanish.


On the one hand, we can add links, either manually through the Web, specifically through the new link option, or through the bookmarklet, which personally I had trouble using it. In add links, we will add our comments, labels, titles and url. In addition, indicate whether they are private and if we can share them via Twitter automatically, bringing it to configure our account indicating our id and password.



On the other hand, we have the social aspect, where we have our timeline together with our links with our contacts, our timeline where we only have our links, and the timeline with links to all public users. Each link is a miniature Web, the number of references to that site by users of Linkae, as well as a preview option denounced it.


Perhaps the aspect of the search for profiles of contacts is something which we can only access them through the timeline public or through the contacts of other profiles. When you enter a profile, plus links added public can access through a series of icons, the other user profiles of the same in other social networks. In addition, we may add as a friend since their own avatar, that if you want, we can use the Gravatar associated with our mail account.


As users can indicate the ids of a few social networks to make them accessible from our profile, including Twitter, which in case of establishing our password, we can share our new direct links.


Improvements to the search for contacts, with an option for the invitation to become part of our social network, and have a list of the number of users who have referenced to the same url, are some of the things that I see that could be added.


In short, a way to save social links and gain new links through our contacts along with those of other users. How useful? If we like to hear new websites, yes.

The Film Studios Want to Escape from the ITunes Music Store with a New Open Standard


Under the general name of Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DEC), the coalition was initiated by Sony Pictures but now includes Fox, Lionsgate, NBC Universal, Paramount and Warner Bros.. Microsoft and VeriSign are also signing in this initiative, as well as hardware manufacturers Cisco, HP, Philips and Toshiba. Alcatel-Luc and Best Buy are also part of the company.

Officially the goal is to create an interoperable but controlled approach to distribute videos online where buyers or people who rented content simply assume that the online video works. While the device player belongs to the user, the content is reproduced under an interoperable DRM. In a decade, Sony also contends that such a system would create an environment of copyright much more consistent: consumers would not have to deal with ever-changing boundaries of copy if they decide to change his shop.

On Monday, the study also noted that the rules also say would be freer than they are many services today. A buyer would have the option to make an unlimited number of copies, including DVDs recorded who have been regularly outside limit with content providers online today. In the stricter conditions, a user still would have access to a "blockade" which would reproduce some videos and content without involving any permanent copy.

But while the public is the goal of eliminating the isolation between stores, the filing Sony also intends to stop Apple. The giant of the films cited as the prominence of the iTunes music store as part of the "problem": by allowing existing stores owners, the music industry could be effectively controlled by Apple. The decision to lean toward the latter of downloads, has essentially arrinconado the market, Sony said.

Adopt decades as a standard that would prevent this will happen to the video by separating control of a single store and make the rights of service are provided to the end user.

The consortium plans to disclose its detailed strategy for decades during the Consumer Electronics Show in January, although it is described as an approach similar to standard Microsoft PlaysForSure. In his invention in 2004, the method enabled Windows Media ensure that the contents of stores outside always supported reproduced in computers and appliances adopted: that standard continuously striving to be accepted and its heavy reliance on software made by Microsoft has left the off-market today, where Microsoft is just a minority.

Both speculation as the line of work suggests that Sony's film studios are concerned about the elimination of DRM of their videos, which see it as something negative, because that would be too easy sharing and remove the obligations and avoid that companies could invoke the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to strengthen their rights.
