• “Le réseau des CFF est le plus densément exploité du monde et il est à ses limites de capacités [ndr: blbablabla]. Une forte extension de l’offre ne sera possible qu’après la réalisation de grands chantiers de construction d’infrastructures, comme par exemple la ligne diamétrale de Zurich [...] Ben oui la région de Zürich par exemple… ou Lausanne-Genève???
• Amélioration du traffic international et national…
• Suppression des “Espaces silence” en 2ème classe: pas surpris! C’est pourtant une très bonne idée mais les gens ne respectent pas cette règle et c’est en fait en plus frustrant d’entendre parler dans un “Espace silence” que dans un wagon “normal”. Et non ce n’est pas aux contrôleurs de faire la pollice et de faire respecter cette règle de “savoir vivre”, ils ont autre chose à faire. Une idée à ressortir quand on sera mieux éduqué (et en 1ère c’est exactement la même chose!)
• Meilleur connexion internet sur certaines lignes: “A partir du changement d’horaire, les lignes entre Genève et Lausanne ainsi qu’entre Berne et Thoune disposeront elles aussi d’un accès à large bande. Swisscom continue en outre à développer le réseau actuel le long des lignes ferroviaires.”

Oh en j’ai commencé à répertorier mes trajets et mes retards… je peux pas continuer de me plaindre sans chiffre à l’appui.

RSS Cloud

RSS Cloud takes advantage of the “cloud” element in the RSS 2.0 specification. Actually “cloud” has been there since RSS 0.92, but no one paid much attention until the rising interest of real-time web. RSS Cloud effectively allows any client (like feed reader) to register to get notifications for stuff they have subscribed for beforehand.

How does it work ?

1. The >cloud< element in your RSS2 feed tells the clients where and how to sign up for notifications requests.
2. The publisher sends out notifications updates to the cloud when a new post is published
3. The cloud sends out notifications to all client that have subscribed to the publisher updates

The result is that new posts from your favorite blogs arrive much faster using the RSS Cloud method than the polling method. But RSS Cloud is not alone and there are competing specifications like… PubSubHubbub.

Google’s PubSubHubbub

PubSubHubbub is a simple server-to-serve publish/subscribe protocol as an extension to Atom and RSS. The servers speaking the PubSubHubbub protocol can get near-instant notifications when a feed URL is updated. The subscriber gets not only the notification of the update but also the new/changed content.

Note that the Real-time Web is the main theme of LeWeb 09 conference in Paris in December.

I have always wondered how this invention will actually propagate in the masses. The RSS icon is not so user friendly and still does not talk much to my mom, adding a feed to an aggregator is not so obvious, real feed aggregator (like Google’s reader) remains very geeky… somehow with Netvibes, My Yahoo and alike we reach a state where it can be use by slightly bigger population than just the nerds but in my opinion it is still not very satisfying. That’s where Twitter becomes REALLY powerful. From a "share my status and what I am doing" tool they reach the state of being the aggregator of the masses. Everyone shares its links on his/her Twitter channel. Thanks to the API, big medias publish links to their online content as soon as it’s published, blog plateform let you use plugin that will publish any update from your blog on your Twitter channel, not to mention all other tools build up on top of the API that lets you share picture, video, status, and links… ie. Twitter has become the aggregator for the masses.

How is that good for the "Enterprise world ?

Yet another one of this technology coming from the consummer that will end up in the enterprise world. To the question what is the best way to share knowledge within all employees and workers I bet that Twitter could do the job. A tool like Twitter seems a perfect fit to share status, project update, website update, in a way where actually everyone (or almost everyone) will use it. In some other words I do believe in tools like Yammer (never tried it though) that won the Techcrunch 500 last year.

With that in mind we might as well check out product like Bantam, a social CRM that lets you communicate, share information and manage relationships inside and outside an organisation, ie. a Facebook-like for enterprise.
