The project that Tami won the AOL Innovation in the Community award for was
essentially an early prototype of what the Young Foundation call ‘Local
2.0‘.
The project used open source software to create local online communities with
the goal of better bridging the economic divide and also the generational
one, encouraging more participation between key social groups like the
elderly and disadvantaged kids.
Young has been conducting research to document this type of effect to help
local councils adopt it as best practices in to their normal operations, and
the objective of our overall ‘GovCloud 2.0‘ Cloud best practices program
is to showcase the powerful technologies that are now available for this type
of initiative.

I was thrown onto a mobile project a few months ago and admittedly needed to
catch up fast. My primary development environment is Microsoft's .NET and
although I had been keeping up with Windows Phone, I had not been keeping up
with mobile as a whole. I would go as far to say keeping up with Windows
Phone was not keeping up with the mobile world at all. Luckily this book is a
smorgasbord of mobile information. I purchased and printed the Rough Cuts
version as soon as it came out. This book saved me tons of time getting up to
speed with the latest information on the mobile world.

I attended the 2012 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The following are my
personal observations and extrapolations from the show based on my
conversations with operators, customer meetings, colleagues and walking the
floor.
1. LTE- Where’s the Party? – Last year was the year of LTE.
Vendors were flouting it and operators were demonstrating how it would change
the world. Even Verizon Wireless (an operator which never shows up at these
things) had a big display showcasing LTE. I think that this year the cold
reality is kicking in – now that we have built... (more)
Cloud Expo Breaking News By Elizabeth White  Everyone is talking about Big Data, and you've implemented it to bring a competitive advantage to your company, but now what?

Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace.

Reads: 33,385  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.
