Take advantage of SharePoint mobile access feature and other useful features of SharePoint 2010 hosting, SharePoint Foundation hosting or SharePoint Server 2010 – with shared or dedicated hosting by a leading SharePoint 2010 hosting provider.

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation provides architecture to support mobile access to SharePoint pages and list data. Users of mobile devices navigate to the same URL as the users of desktop browsers. The mobile device is automatically redirected to a version of the page that is optimized for mobile devices. From there, users can use navigation links in the footer section of the mobile page to navigate among the home page, the all content (”list of lists”) page, list view pages, and mobile version of custom site pages including Web Part pages and wiki-enabled pages. There are also mobile versions of the New item, Edit item, and Display item forms. Any list that has a mobile view is accessible. A mobile view is simply a standard SharePoint list view marked for additional use as a mobile list view.

As SharePoint has different set of pages for mobile access, it also has an entirely separate set of controls for the mobile pages. Unlike server controls of the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls namespace which are typically used in Web site pages displayed in the browser, SharePoint Foundation mobile controls of the Microsoft.SharePoint.MobileControls namespace used in mobile pages inherit from Microsoft ASP.NET controls of the System.Web.UI.MobileControls namespace.

Nope, the term above is not a 3-letter variation of the 4-letter word one usually hears on an Eminem track (not to diss Eminem, I love the guy!). FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions. It�s basically a portion or a page in most websites that handles and answers questions that are frequently asked by users of the site (hence, the name). Most of the questions are regarding rules of the site, or maybe troubleshooting guides, or it can be a substitute to an About page or something like that.

Some FAQ pages are short, while there are other FAQ pages that are too long that some website owners opt to create a downloadable text document instead.

An electronic mailing list works the same as their traditional versions. The only difference is that it’s faster and more convenient to do it online than snail mail. With the mailing list, you basically have a list of e-mail addresses of people who subscribe to a mailing distribution about a particular topic such as job hunting, a favorite band, a hobby, etc. These e-mail addresses are put under one e-mail address so that if you need to send an e-mail (regarding an announcement, replies, questions etc.) all you have to do is type that one particular e-mail address. Of course, since this is a community of sorts, there are rules that subscribers need to follow and there is also an administrator who keeps tabs on the posts.

A vlog is a term coined from two words � �video� and �blog.� As its name suggests, it is a blog that contains mostly video content, which more often than not are distributed through RSS feeds which is called a vodcast or vidcast. If there is such a thing as a blogosphere, then the small area of it that focuses much on vlogs is often referred to as the vlogosphere.

The usual steps in making a vlog are the following:

Make a video (of course the content can be entirely up to you) and save it in your computer as a file. The most common software used for this is the Windows Movie Maker for Windows and QuickTime or iMovie for Apple systems.

Using software such as Movie Maker, iMovie, Avid Free DV and Final Cut Pro, compress the video so that it won�t take much space.

You can now set up your blog,that is if you don�t have one yet. There are many free blog hosts available nowadays so you can have your pick.

Next, publish your actual video online. Like blogs, there are many free hosting sites available. The Internet Archive, BlipTV, OurMedia, and YouTube are some I can name.

Create your blog entry. Make a screen capture from your video to display in your blog so that users can click on the image to be directed to the video itself. Add the image and link to your video.

Don�t forget to get an RSS feed with enclosures and publish your blog at Feedburner or a similar site. This will help getting your video across many users of the Internet.

BitTorrent is an content distribution protocol that allows distribution through the internet of software and peer-to-peer sharing of large files like shows and movies. It does this by enabling users to serve as network redistribution points. The holder of the content sends it to one user who sends it to other users and they share the pieces of the download until everyone completes it. Because of this, the original server can serve many requests without using immense bandwidth. This is very efficient because it saves time; a full-length movie can arrive within a few hours and sound files within minutes.

We’ve covered SPAM here, a few posts back. Now we’re going to talk about the (anti) spam cocktail! It’s actually the use of many varying programs and technologies. By combining these components, it is then easier to identify and eliminate spam as an individual anti-spam program may be able to skip a certain spam. But with combine effort, it becomes more effective. It’s also the e-mail administrator who determine and create rules on how messages are to be handled.

Discussion boards, which can be called by many other names (good for it) such as discussion discussion forums, discussion groups, online forums, and message boards (whew), refers to online bulletin boards. It’s like a virtual cork board that millions of users (often sharing the same interests) can post announcements and opinions and get replies both negative and positive. One doesn’t have to post and just “lurk” or read the posts (unless stated otherwise in the forum rules) Or you can just read the board. Anyone can make a discussion board by availing of online forum services. There are various forum software available depending on the programming language used.

IBM announced today said that it had created code to secure mashups for businesses. Analysts say the technology will help companies merge data from websites or corporate systems to create rich Internet applications (RIAs) without the risk of exposing proprietary information.

“We’ve been working for quite a few years around Web 2.0 and mashups,” Rod Smith, a vice president with IBM, told CIO. “This technology will allow people to create a mashup without worrying that it will go phishing for personal data or financial information.”
