Whatever kind of content you may have on your website, people will expect it to be easy to share. A...

Yesterday I attended the 140 Characters Conference that had for task to explore the state of now (i.e. the real time web) and I really enjoyed it. With more than 50 speakers gathered thanks to Jeff Keni Pulver , creator of #140conf, the conference dealt with all sorts of issue: communication, racism, crime, educatio...
