In favor or against a "digg" crime.com??

The Virignia Tech episode, and the finnish case of last month are presenting a common point: the two killers announced many weeks before acting, that they were going to kill some of their friends.
These tragedies shows that if someone had survey the web, this two guys wouldn't have killed those people, and many lives could had been saved.



So, must we create a police of the Internet to prevent things like that?
Internet is too large to be totally surveyed, but as my wise master, Bob Spaulding, it could be possible to create a kind of crowdsourcing surveillance, in the model of Digg, that could permit to anynone to signal a dangerous post, or a licencious website.
This is a possibility that could work, but my fear is that users are not policemen, they do not have judiciary competencies.. That's why I think that there are risks if you let people decide what is a crime and what is not. If someone wants to denounce an act that is immoral, but legal, where are the limits? Must the surveyors be surveyed by real policemen??
It is a real and interesting question, and Internet will have to answer it sooner.

For the moment, i prefer suggest a different solution:
The two guys who announced on Youtube that they were going to kill their friends, were not criminal when they recorded these videos. They knew that people were able to see these records on the Internet, and that what they were going to do could have been cancelled if anyone had seen it. That's why in my opinion, they were calling for help doing it, just like people who take medecines to kill themselves, and then call the police... When they putted those videos, it was a manner of asking for help to people who would look to the video. Internet is a new manner of asking for help, without talking face to face with anybody.
This is the reason why i think that it's not a crowdsourcing police website that must be created, but a website that permit to survey, with the help of psychiatrists, if some users need some help, if their behaviour permit to target a risk for themself or for the people who are around.
It seems to me really more humanist to create a crowdsourcing help website, than a police community...

Internet is never on strike!

During two weeks, we had e-culture class however there was a huge strike in Paris. Internet changes many things for people who wants to work when there is not any middle of transport. You can stay at home, and use your computer to join your clients, to send reports, or to do researches.
That what we tried to illustrate with this beautiful video, but the images are too fast, however the sound is in normal speed...
Anyway, you'll see Antoine laughing at strikers because he's able to work!
Enjoy

Victor the forecaster

This is my e-video-presentation, more precisely my second try to do a e-presentation.
First of all, i changed something to the first one: it's not "soothsayer", but "forecaster" that matches with my mind.
On this video, i explain you what is the job that i would like to do when i'll be an adult... I want to be someone that can do recommandations to medias when they want to adapt themselves to the evolution of the society, and specially in front of the Internet's increasement. If a magazine wants to keep his readers, he has to know what the peolple wants to read in a magazine. How must it look like? What are the subjects that interest the public...
That's why my job wil consist in feeling the medias evolutions, and the different trends in the society that influe on the medias...
Enjoy!

Victor the soothsayer!

This is the perfect example of what everybody has to fight against on the Internet!
Yeah, you know what i mean... the many problems that you meet when you're trying to do something intelligent on the web, if you are not a professional!
Here you can see the first video i did to present myself as the better forecaster of the medias evolution. It took me many time to have the good shot, with the good light, and without failing in telling my speech. But when putted it on Youtube, something strange happened: the sound is played on the good beat, but the images are running really too fast!

When the web has photos of you, that you, don't have!!

What a surprise was it for me when i saw myself on the Internet, on photos that i didn't know.
The first one was on Flickr: HERE
This is a photo of celsa's students, taken for the "Stand up for poverty" last month. You can see myself on the right side, with a brown cap. It's so strange to see yourself on the web without knowing it.
The second exemple is on facebook. When i created my account last month, there was already ten photos of me, tagged by some of my friends.
So everybody should know that on the Internet, everybody has a life, even if he never goes on it
