This blog is about web 2.0, traditional media and advertising, how they affect each other and how they affect us (especially me). It is also about stuff I like such as art, design, animation, music and photography. what I feel like writing. Nothing written here should be taken too seriously...
Res nou pels geeks però una introducció a les xarxes socials i a l’impacte que tenen a la societat. Ha estat molt interessant participar a la Universitat de Lleida a les jornades que l’associació ASPID, una associació de discapacitats físics de Lleida, ha organitzat al voltant del tema xarxes socials.
No havia tingut mai abans ocasió de conèixer la relació dels discapacitats físics amb un món sense cap barrera ni arquitectònica ni tecnològica.
This post started as a late night tweet summarizing (in less than 140 characters) the story of writing hence the title of the post. Here’s the original tweet.
From 4,000 BC to 1992: Pre-web era. Writing
The representation of language in a textual medium through the use of a set of signs or symbols is known as a writing system. Around the 4th millennium BC, the complexity of trade and administration outgrew the power of memory, and writing became a more dependable method of recording and presenting transactions in a permanent form
From 1992 to 1997: Web 1.0. Online copywriting
Copywriting is the use of words to promote a person, business, opinion or idea. The term may be applied to any content regardless of media (print, radio, television, or online media).
From 1997 to 2004: Web 2.0. Blogging
A blog (a contraction of the term “weblog”) is a type of website with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
From 2004 to 2008: Social web. Posting

From 2008 to present time: Live web. RT

(If you don’t understand this last chapter you can check what people are saying right now at twitter.com)
We’ve all uploaded a test web site for a customer to review in a hidden directory. More so, we’ve all created the infamous index2.html.
But I bet that if you were developing a site for the launching of the iPhone in Spain, a gadget that gets a huge media and hackers attention, you’d be extra cautious about uploading any testing site, especially if they were no official news about the Telefonica-Apple deal.
Well, you probably understand it. Telefonica, the 4th largest telecom in the world, don’t!
ErneX, a colleague of mine at WeAreMortensen.com didn’t even have to use his hacking skills. He just tried a few URLs until iphone.movistar.es/index2.html (not active anymore) hit jackpot. Obviously he twittered it.
The result? After one hour more than 24.000 people registered in the microsite and the news got featured in es.appleblog.com from there to engadget.es then engadget.com and from there to all weblogs and newspapers.
How many web publishing courses can you attend for Telefonica’s last year 8.906 Milion € benefits?
