What’s up in e-commerce? I’m going to talk about Google Music, whose  launch this week is a big issue for all the music websites.

What is the purpose of this website? Google has given us five steps to enjoy their new project.

DISCOVER: the Android Market now works like Itunes, where you can both shop applications and music. As this is their core business, Google will sell “personalized recommendations” with the data Google already has about us.

SHOP: The service is free, there is some free songs (as there is free books) but you will of course have to buy the latest GaGa’s song!

LISTEN: Google’s good point is syncing online with all Google services: you will be able to have, by cloud storing, your music on your computer (a PC, for sure 😉 ) and your Android smartphone. You will listen your files on streaming, which requires an online connection.

ORGANIZE: As your music is kept online, you have no more to be afraid of losing it OH WAIT ! Cloud computing can crash too. So be sure to save it (that would be a 11th rule for this article).

Today, I’m going to help you with 10 rules you must follow to survive the hard fields you will go through while browsering on the Web.

1. You receive an e-mail from your boss. You have in mind a delicious joke about how dumb he is, and you want to share it with your colleagues. Well, these e-mails are often aimed to many people, including, your boss’s boss, until the CEO. DO NOT PRESS REPLY ALL.

2. You may want to have sexual intercourse with other people. It’s normal. Feel free to have some. But unless you can trust the person, DON’T SEND ANY PICTURES OF YOUR WEE-WEE. You would be forced to do a Bill-Clinton-Apology which would make you look like a fool.

3. Do not feed the trolls.They can harm. I already talked about this issue with the Crying Girl Incident.

4. Always spell-check ! That seems logic, but wait: you’d rather spell-check your spell-checker.

5. Don’t have much money? You might want to download some Disney movies for your kids. They always want some distractions, but be careful of what you’re downloading, because titles on the internet don’t always tell the truth. (check this google search I made for you)

6. You got friends in real life. Or maybe not. Even if you’re as weird as a sad clown, you have facebook friends. Well they are not the most reliable, so don’t shout your feelings publicly, or you will be exposed to web-celebrity.

7. You lucky boy, you have a job! Try not to mess up with your company on the Wild, Wild Web. Your boss will find out eventually.

8. Even now that you have a job, you should not spend too much money on e-shopping websites ! They are so attractive that your next salary would be spent before your boss gives it to you 😉

9. If you want to know the best blog ever, don’t trust google… trust ME.

10. FORGET ALL THE RULES ! YOU’RE FREE !

Reliability of news on internet is a long-known issue: as  online news moves really fast and often come from unknown sources, it’s difficult to check whether the story is true or false.

There has been a lot of false death reports published on twitter or facebook since these social networks are more and more popular. Natalie Portman, Britney Spears, George Clooney, or in France Jean-Marie le Pen have suffered the awkward moment when people called their families to pay homage to the dead.

Although, a quick view on wikipedia’s article about false death reports (article that might be discussed on its reliability) shows that many of these misunderstandings come from actual trusted big media like CNN or New York Times. Ernest Hemingway, Harold Pinter, Margaret Thatcher or George W. Bush were the victims of hoaxes, the oldest I could fine being Samuel Taylor Coleridge, an English poet who read the news of his death in a newspaper, in 1816 !

Because these anouncements are sometimes a way to make fun of people, I recommend you this website where you can read the death of whoever you want.

beautiful hypertextual link that would be a great symbol, as this entire blog post, of the friendship that unites every blogger on Earth. Mobility is our goddess, from smartphones to GPS, that makes us jump link after link .

You don’t understand what’s going on? You must start here .

Why is this girl crying? And this dad gone mad?

Continuing in the “dangers of internet” topic, let me tell you about a girl, 11 years old. Her name, on the Internet of course, is Jessi Slaughter. It’s the terrible demonstration of the worst that may happen if you don’t know how to deal with your children when they are in front of a computer. The story has been summed up on the website http://knowyourmeme.com , just click here .

On June 28^th, 2011, Google launched its new social network, Google +. The goal was clearly to compete with Facebook, the biggest social network on Earth (620 million of users, half of them connected every day).

One of the biggest concerns about Facebook has been privacy: newspapers are full of stories of unlucky workers betrayed by their online presence (Tip: DO NOT pretend to be sick at home when one of your friends has an iPhone and is able to take and upload pictures of you dancing in your Willy Wonka’s disguise).

The arrival of Google+ came with an apparent preoccupation of privacy: the whole system of this new social network was oriented by the dissociation of information you choose to display to your “friends”, with an organization by “circles”. You can select, every time you make an action, who you want to share it with.

A few days ago, Facebook has released some new settings that are quite similar to what Google+ offers.

This good infography, taken from the unofficial website http://www.allfacebook.com , will show you with efficiency the main issues of privacy between the two main occidental social networks.
