RSS, be connected, be informed



Internet used a lot of technics. We can quote for example RSS and RSS aggregators. These are formats used to publish frequently updated works such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video.

In fact, this technology permits gathering different tools : video, text, picture, songs…It’s a mix between these different elements. RSS formats are specified using xml, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. RSS formats have evolved since March 1999 with the web 2.0.
Then, thanks to RSS, we can have access to free culture. We can also be informed since RSS permits knowing all the news linked with current topics. It means that news are update regularly. This is the big innovation of RSS.

The most beautiful example for me is all tv-reality websites. We can take the example of star academy website staracademy.tf1.fr/
I take this instance because this website gathers videos, pictures, links All the videos are regularly update because it depends on what's happening in the tv program.
Fianally, it creates a real interactivity with people. RRS give a new aspect to websites, a new dimension.

Use Internet to help people !

The web has many aspects. It is used by people who don’t really know new technologies but it is also used by professionnal. This aspect permit creating pro-social websites. It’s the case of sida-info-service.org/

Indeed, This is an example of pro-social websites. In fact, it is used to make prevention, to inform people about relationships. It’s a pro-social website because it aims at gathering people around a common subject : sexuality. This a subject that concered everybody.

It’s a big innovation for me because companies can use internet to make prevention. They subserver links between people. In other words, they can keep links between people that’s why it is considered as a pro-social website.

Get in touch with people !

I talked about communities on internet in an article in this website. I think internet media can improve relationships between people. That’s why I am a member of a meeting website which can permit me meeting people.
Indeed, It is my most exciting tool on internet because thanks to it I have the possibility to create link with other people. Thanks to this website, we can consult all people’s profiles in order to keep contact with them. If i want to know the nickname « young75» on this website, I just have to clic on it in order to speak with him. This is a social network. It’s exciting for me to get it touch with new people.

This is an innovate tool because it permits gathering people. The goal is to meet people in reality and this could be exciting. Sometimes I am scared by this kind of relationships. In fact, it’s a mix between these two feelings.

Make the most of e-culture to improve your english !



I learn english about ten years with different teachers. I think i have to improve it and i found a solution. My problem in english is that I don’t understand all key words in current topics. That’s why, I choose to read current facts on the websites of « Herald Tribune » even if this newspaper is really engaged : http://www.iht.com/


In fact, this is my best english language learning tool on the internet. As a matter of fact, thanks to Herald Tribune websites, I learn a lot of journalism vocabulary linked with current topic. It permits me having an english culture. In other words, thanks to this websiste, I just have the possibility to understand current topics like politic, health problems…
As for instance, I understood goals of presidential election in USA thanks to this website.

Moreover, I watch also some videos in order to practice my english oral language. I find it difficult to understand english people in life. That’s why I decided to improve my oral comprehension thanks to this means.
I think it's the best way for everybody to learn english.

New word for a new culture

It's time to speak about e-culture.

First, we have to analyse the word. It is composed of two elements "e" and "culture". The "e" is used to explain that this "culture" is based on internet exchanges. A new word for a new kind of culture.

Indeed, the access to the culture on internet is free. Even if they pay for having an internet connection, they can consult all kind of cultures : media culture, politic, art, history... Contrary to a museum, people don't pay for e-culture.


Moreover, people are not alone on internet. They can exchange with other people. It's the idea of community. In fact, this free culture gathers internautes between us. It means that they can share all aspects of cultures thanks to internet websites like youtube, facebook, msn, e-mail adress...


Finally, with e-culture, people can create a lot of things like blogs, songs, videos. They can speak about nowadays topics. They can give their opinions on different subjects and they can talk about their lives. It's the symbol of creativity, of freedom expression. For example, our blogs in english class represent these ideas of creation and expression.
