"BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system built on over fourteen open source components to create an integrated solution that runs on Mac, Unix, and PC computers. In the true sense of open source, we invite you to try out and participate in our project.

Vision: Our vision is that starting a web conference should be as easy as clicking a single metaphorical big blue button. As an open source project, we believe it should be easy for others to embrace and extend education. And while web conferencing means many things to many people — our focus is to make the best web conferencing system for distance education.

What’s new in this release (Beta 08.1):
1) Simplified interface – BigBlueButton now has a consolidated Users window for easier session management and a more consistent user interface (including updated skin and icons) to help new users get started quickly.

4) Text tool for whiteboard – Presenters can now annotate their slides with text.

Les réseaux sociaux sont devenus une composante importante du trafic sur les sites, notamment les blogs. Chaque réseau propose ainsi son bouton de partage qui permet de mettre en avant du contenu auprès de ses connaissances.

Le problème pour un webmaster est d’intégrer tous ces boutons. De même, pour un responsable marketing, savoir exactement combien de clics ont été fait sur chaque réseau est une donnée importante, mais compliquée à obtenir.

Shared Count est une API qui permet de récupérer les « clics » sur les boutons de partage de chaque réseau en une seule opération. L’API couvre 8 réseaux.

APIs are a fundamental enabler of the Internet of Things; but without API management, the unique characteristics of IoT can easily lead to catastrophe, especially when it comes to:

Versioning and support for ancient things;Developer and device registration and security;Visibility and analytics;Performance and scalability.

Plus besoin de connaître l'API de Facebook dans le détail, puisque Tigerlily vient de sortir sa solution pour développer des apps avec un meta-langage : le Social Graph Script.
