"#1: HTML5 will provide local storage to speed engagement and make things available offline.
#2: A mobile HTML5 site can be used among numerous platforms, from iPhones to Androids.
#3: Mobile sites can replicate the feel and usability of a custom-made app.
#4: Pages can be updated in real-time, so users can see new comments without having to reload the page.
#5: Media can be used, embedded and shared more easily without needing plug-ins.
#6: Dragging items from the desktop to a browser will encourage interactivity.
#7: Better SEO, especially for flash-based sites. Currently, flash-based content does not get recognized for SEO purposes.

Web is permanent, newspapers are ephemeral

"Newspapers are essentially ephemeral and, save for the enthusiastic collector, retain no long lasting status: the parties will have intended that they would be treated as daily papers are generally treated, that is to say, read and replaced with the following day's edition. To incorporate the pictures into the website is to provide a permanent and marketable record easily available world-wide "

Producing ODF spreadsheets from your Web services

"Whenever a Web page or service provides data, users particularly appreciate getting it in spreadsheet format or at least in a format they can easily load into a spreadsheet. This article shows how to produce Open Document Format (ODF) spreadsheet files (or, ODS) either by directly creating them byte by byte (which requires a study of the inner structure of ODS files), or through specific libraries that simplify the work. You also get a glance into producing CSV files—not just because they are a sort of "lowest common denominator" interchange format, but because you can convert them automatically into ODS files."

"Printed in only two colours, the eight-page broadsheet "carries no photographs or advertising, its articles are unsigned and the newspaper shuns the web - yet somehow it manages to outsell rivals such as Le Monde."
