Google impact on the Portuguese language

I'm shocked....

Everyone that speaks portuguese knows that there are differences between PT and BR language speakers but align because-in spite off - thanks to Google ?

 

Too weird :(

 

"Google, it could be said, conquered its first Romance language last week.

The Portuguese parliament voted last week to change its national language to reflect the more popular Brazilian Portuguese, the language used by about 80 percent of the world’s 230 million Portuguese speakers. In the next six years, European Portuguese will be phasing in three new consonants – k, w and y – and dropping confusing hyphens and silent consonants. So from now on, when you are IM-ing a Portuguese beauty, the correct style is otimo, not optimo, when she suggests meeting for a drink "

Google - The Frenemy

With so much change going on in media, it's hard to tell who's your friend or your enemy. Having a good strategy for dealing with others who could either be a great partner or a fierce competitor is crucial for many startups, as we saw with PayPal and Zingy. A few weeks ago at an event put on by The Week, I heard WPP chairman and CEO Sir Martin Sorrell use the perfect term to describe such a relation (in this case referring to Google): frenemy.

If Sun-tzu was right that you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer, then what should you do with frenemies? Smart entrepreneurs should at least start recognizing who their frenemies are. To give them a push, I just created an entry in Wikipedia for Frenemy.

The short definition : A frenemy refers to a company that can be both a partner (customer, vendor, etc.) and a competitor at the same time. These type of relationships grow more common in times of great change and make for uneasy relations.

Maintenant Personomies

C'est quoi ça ?

" Personomies are digital manifestations of an individual. Personomies combine identity (who you are), activity (what you do) and sociality (who you know).

Cette approche conceptuel du WEB est assez intéressante - un mashup entre son MOI, son activité et son réseau de connaissances.

Visualiser une rélation virtuelle

Très intéressant l'effort de Lilia Efimova pour schématiser sa rélation avec un autre bloggeur.

Comme quoi par moment, dans toute la virtualité des échanges par Internet cela devient quand même nécessaire de rendre tout ça un peu physique ....
