Listen our podacst to learn more about mashup!

Mashup!

The term mash-up refers to a new breed of Web-based applications created by hackers and programmers (typically on a volunteer basis) to mix at least two different services from disparate, and even competing, Web sites. A mash-up, for example, could overlay traffic data from one source on the Internet over maps from Yahoo, Microsoft, Google or any content provider. The term mash-up comes from the hip-hop music practice of mixing two or more songs.

This capability to mix and match data and applications from multiple sources into one dynamic entity is considered by many to represent the promise of the Web service standard (also referred to as on-demand computing).


f you take content of other websites on your own one, you have to check before if the webmaster of the website is agree to let you get his informations.

That’s happened to Google recently which had open at the beginning of this year the Belgium version of Google news. The association of the daily press publishers didn’t let Google to publish the content of their articles on Google News.


At the beginning of last September Google lost the lawsuit against the association of the daily press and withdraw all news which come from Belgium’s daily newspaper websites.

Better security on the web

shttp is the new version of the protocole http. This one didn't ensure enough security on the web, in particular for services on line. That 's why searchers worked on a new protocole and created SHTTP.
S-HTTP was designed by E. Rescorla and A. Schiffman of EIT to secure HTTP connections. S-HTTP provides a wide variety of mechanisms to provide for confidentiality, authentication, and integrity. Separation of policy from mechanism was an explicit goal. The system is not tied to any particular cryptographic system, key infrastructure, or cryptographic format. The internet draft is fairly clear in its presentation of the protocol, although implementation details are sketchy.

sharing ideas

Learning by the internet is not that easy, in that sense that it's difficult to intereact in class. Each one is doing his own assignment and we don't have any exchange about topics we study.
I think that the idea of creating personal Netvibes with RSS feed to other students blogs is a very good idea. Maybe we could work in group. It would be interesting in term of sharing ideas.
