CHINA PUBLISHES STANDARD FOR WEBSITE TRAFFIC INDICATORS.

BEIJING, June 17 Asia Pulse - The Internet Society of China (ISC) on Wednesday published the country's first standard of website traffic indicators.

The standard provided unambiguous definitions of five website traffic indicators in common use: the number of independent Internet Protocol (IP) addresses; the number of unique visitors (UV); page views (PV); visiting times; and visit duration.

Generally speaking, the development of China's Internet industry has kept in step with that of many developed countries. However, the country seriously lags behind the industry worldwide in terms of setting industry standards and codes of conduct, according to Gao Xinmin, vice chairman of the ISC.

The ISC initiated the standard formulation program at the end of 2008. More Internet service standards have been finalized and are expected to be announced soon.

ING Direct backs off apps for Android.

Byline: Paul Smith

May 30, 2011 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- ING Direct is a major innovator in electronic commerce in Australia, a market it entered in 1999. Some 87% of transactions carried out by the customers of the fifth-largest deposit-taking bank are using the internet, and it has rolled out an application for the Apple iPhone. However, CIO Andrew Henderson says it will not release similar software for the rival tablet computers and smartphones running the Android operating system of Google, as that market segment is too small to justify the capital investment. One advantage for ING Direct over the four main banks is its lack of outdated core IT systems.

ICASI to Conduct News Briefing Webcast Announcing Standardized Framework for Reporting IT System Vulnerabilities.

Industry Consortium for Advancement of Security on the Internet to Detail Common Vulnerability Reporting Framework That Streamlines Security Information Exchange

WAKEFIELD, Mass. -- The Industry Consortium for Advancement of Security on the Internet (ICASI), a nonprofit association dedicated to enhancing global IT security by proactively driving excellence and innovation in security response, today announced it is holding an upcoming webcast where it will detail a standardized framework for reporting IT system vulnerabilities.

Who:		The Industry Consortium for Advancement of Security on the Internet
What:		Is conducting a news briefing webcast to announce the publication of its Common Vulnerability Reporting Framework (CVRF)
When:		Tuesday, May 17, 2011, at 1 p.m. (Eastern)
Where:		Click here to register online
Why:		Current methods of vulnerability reporting such as embedding security metric and vulnerability data inside response reports are vendor-specific, non-standard and non-cooperative. Because each producer of vulnerability reports employs a unique document structure that does not facilitate automated processing, users must manually parse individual vulnerability reports to find information that is germane to their environments.
		In an effort to solve this problem, ICASI initiated the CVRF project. CVRF enables different stakeholders across different organizations to share critical security-related information in a single format speeding up information exchange and digestion.

About ICASI

The Industry Consortium for Advancement of Security on the Internet (ICASI) provides a unique forum of trust through which global companies actively address complex, multi-product security threats to better protect the critical IT infrastructures that support the world's enterprises, governments and citizens. ICASI was founded by Cisco Systems, Intel Corporation, International Business Machines, Juniper Networks, Microsoft Corporation and Nokia. For more information, visit ICASI.org.

Motorola's social companion keeps subscribers stuck to pay-TV and tablet/smartphone.(SMART TV (AND ADAPTERS THAT MAKE DUMB ONES SMART))

The use of social networking, especially with friends, while watching the tube has become increasingly popular because of the spread of smartphones and tablets. Motorola's new SocialTV Companion Service runs on devices like those, which consumers simultaneously and frequently use when watching TV, as we reported last week in "Motorola Combines Social Networking and TV Viewing."

SocialTV Companion Service came about because of the convergence of a perfect storm in the industry, according to Chris Wright, with Motorola's converged experiences software product marketing team.

The storm that emerged in the last year consists of:

1. The soaring popularity of companion devices like the iPad and Motorola's Xoom. Many consumers are using them in the living room while watching the boob tube.

2. The prominence of social networks like Facebook, Twitter and chats. The FOMA (fear of missing out) has struck young and old and keeps them glued to the screen of their computing devices, tablets and smartphones.

3. The convergence of technology that lets social networking and content to be connected.

Motorola's current SocialTV Companion runs entirely on companion devices. It is not currently linked or interactive with what's on TV although that is an option if the pay-TV services are interested.

The cloud-based software supports HTML5, meaning it works on any device with an HTML5-compliant Internet browser. That includes iPad and iPhone, which do not support Adobe's Flash. Motorola has affinity for its Motorola Xoom, of course.

Motorola's SocialTV Companion Service is aimed at content providers such as the studios and networks and at the pay-TV service providers.

1. It allows pay-TV companies to compete with the threat from OTT video services such as Netflix by increasing stickiness. Pay TV subscribers could also operate their DVR because it knows what's on and could offer interactivity. By tapping into the booming popularity of social networking, they are more likely to retain subscribers. The pay-TV services can offer their own version of the Social Companion, one that's customized to their needs. The user would follow a TV channel such as ABC or the BBC.

2. Content providers can offer the app as a private branded portal, one they can bring the cast and crew to for direct chats. They can also integrate the SocialTV Companion with existing apps like Facebook. If someone has, for example, 130 Facebook friends, all 130, subject to filtering, can see and chat about what they're watching.

There are reportedly two layers to the Social Companion service:

1. A baseline service that lets viewers see all Tweets related to a particular show as well as a live feed of real-time comments with their social community. It also provides show-specific featured product promotions, a built-in loyalty program, related online web video clips and optional advertising services plus standardized real-time experiences that let viewers express how they feel about the show they are watching and see the combined results for the larger community.

2. If the content producer is involved, then viewers may have access to additional premium interactive content or services, such as interacting with the cast and crew that could be chatting or participating in real-time show-specific trivia quizzes or voter surveys.

Both the pay-TV service and the content producer can offer extras like games, show-related merchandise, extra video feeds, DVDs and promote other shows.

Motorola says it's ready to take orders and it can do an implementation in about eight weeks. Verizon is believed to have signed up for its FiOS TV service. So far, Motorola said, no one has said no to the concept.

In the future, Motorola said it could also stream live TV to a companion device, in full-screen or in a partial one, with social networking showing in a Window.
