Here are some web trends for 2020:
Responsive web design in 2020 should be a given because every serious project that you create should look good and be completely usable on all devices. But there’s no need to over-complicate things.
Web Development in 2020: What Coding Tools You Should Learn article gives an overview of recommendations what you learn to become a web developer in 2020.
You might have seen Web 3.0 on some slides. What is the definition of web 3 we are talking about here?
There seems to be many different to choose from… Some claim that you need to blockchain the cloud IOT otherwise you’ll just get a stack overflow in the mainframe but I don’t agree on that.
Information on the web address bar will be reduced on some web browsers. With the release of Chrome 79, Google completes its goal of erasing www from the browser by no longer allowing Chrome users to automatically show the www trivial subdomain in the address bar.
You still should target to build quality web site and avoid the signs of a low-quality web site. Get good inspiration for your web site design.
Still a clear and logical structure is the first thing that needs to be turned over in mind before the work on the website gears up. The website structure for search robots is its internal links. The more links go to a page, the higher its priority within the website, and the more times the search engine crawls it.
You should upgrade your web site, but you need to do it sensibly and well. Remember that a site upgrade can ruin your search engine visibility if you do it badly. The biggest risk to your site getting free search engine visibility is site redesign. Bad technology selection can ruin the visibility of a new site months before launch. Many new sites built on JavaScript application frameworks do not benefit in any way from the new technologies. Before you go into this bandwagon, you should think critically about whether your site will benefit from the dynamic capabilities of these technologies more than they can damage your search engine visibility. Well built redirects can help you keep the most outbound links after site changes.
If you go to the JavaScript framework route on your web site, keep in mind that there are many to choose, and you need to choose carefully to find one that fits for your needs and is actively developed also in the future.
JavaScript survey: Devs love a bit of React, but Angular and Cordova declining. And you’re not alone… a chunk of pros also feel JS is ‘overly complex’
Keep in mind the recent changes on the video players and Google analytics. And for animated content keep in mind that GIF animations exists still as a potential tool to use.
Keep in mind the the security. There is a skill gap in security for many. I’m not going to say anything that anyone who runs a public-facing web server doesn’t already know: the majority of these automated blind requests are for WordPress directories and files. PHP exploits are a distant second. And there are many other things that are automatically attacked. Test your site with security scanners.
APIs now account for 40% of the attack surface for all web-enabled apps. OWASP has identified 10 areas where enterprises can lower that risk. There are many vulnerability scanning tools available. Check also How to prepare and use Docker for web pentest . Mozilla has a nice on-line tool for web site security scanning.
The slow death of Flash continues. If you still use Flash, say goodbye to it. Google says goodbye to Flash, will stop indexing Flash content in search.
Use HTTPS on your site because without it your site rating will drop on search engines visibility. It is nowadays easy to get HTTPS certificates.
Write good content and avoid publishing fake news on your site. Finland is winning the war on fake news. What it’s learned may be crucial to Western democracy,
Think to who you are aiming to your business web site to. Analyze who is your “true visitor” or “power user”. A true visitor is a visitor to a website who shows a genuine interest in the content of the site. True visitors are the people who should get more of your site and have the potential to increase the sales and impact of your business. The content that your business offers is intended to attract visitors who are interested in it. When they show their interest, they are also very likely to be the target group of the company.
Should you think of your content management system (CMS) choice? Flexibility, efficiency, better content creation: these are just some of the promised benefits of a new CMS. Here is How to convince your developers to change CMS.
Here are some fun for the end:
Did you know that if a spider creates a web at a place?
The place is called a website
Confession: How JavaScript was made.

Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’

Twitter has removed the iconic bird logo and adopted ‘X’ as its official logo. This move comes after Elon Musk announced the change over the weekend. The change is already live on the website.
Notably, Musk tweeted that x.com now also redirects to twitter.com. In the post, Musk also called this an “interim” logo, so we might see another logo change in the future.

Meta already appears to hold the rights to ‘X.’ It could make Twitter’s rebrand complicated.
https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-holds-rights-to-x-twitter-rebrand-elon-musk-2023-7?fbclid=IwAR2T5L5z8ACIjncghBF-9pIGY79CsdoHHarx-N1RrxQpJirDkmUbYhSzAbY&r=US&IR=T
Elon Musk announced on Sunday that he would begin the process of rebranding Twitter to X.
But Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta already appears to have a trademark for an “X” logo.
Musk’s new logo for X also resembles a Unicode character and a Monotype font.
Twitter may have hit a snag while rolling out its new logo — it seems like Meta already holds the rights to it.
Elon Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion last year, announced on Sunday that the platform would now be called X, but Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has already registered an “X” logo in connection to “online social networking services” and “social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming, and application development.”
Twitter’s new logo, which was rolled out Monday, also resembles a generic Unicode character known as “mathematical double-struck capital X” that was added to the Unicode in March 2001.
Matthew Scroggs, a postdoctoral research fellow at University College London, tweeted that the character had “been used in mathematical text books since the 70s.”
The symbol doesn’t have a specific, universal use
Trademarks are what lawyers call “source identifiers” — a symbol or branding that customers associate with a company. Twitter’s iconic bird logo has been exactly that — a unique stencil image of a small bird that the general public has come to identify with the social-media site.

Elon Musk shares what he now wants you to call a ‘tweet’
The man behind the controversial rebrand has tried to clear up the confusion… but people are still confused.
https://supercarblondie.com/elon-musk-twitter-tweet-now-called-x/
The powers that be at Twitter are holding firm, insisting the rebrand will be an exciting move for the company.
“Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate,” the company’s chief executive, Linda Yaccarino said.
“Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.”
Naturally, a lot of people were asking the same question: “So if we are not going to ‘tweet’, what will we be doing?”.
‘So, now that Twitter has been rebranded to X, what are tweets called now?’ a user asked.
Elon Musk replied with three characters, ‘X’s’.

In recent news, Google has put forth a proposal known as the “Web Environment Integrity Explainer”, authored by four of its engineers.
On the surface, it appears to be a comprehensive effort to enhance trust and security in the digital landscape. However, as with many sweeping technological proposals, it’s not without controversy.
The tech community, especially on GitHub, has raised several eyebrows and voiced significant criticism.

The Core Proposal: A Trust-Privacy Trade-off?
Google’s proposal pivots on a key premise: enhancing trust in the client environment. It introduces a new API that allows websites to request a token, providing evidence about the client code’s environment. Google’s engineers elaborate, “Websites funded by ads require proof that their users are human and not bots…Social websites need to differentiate between real user engagement and fake engagement…Users playing online games want assurance that other players are adhering to the game’s rules.”
However, the critics argue that the quest for trust may come at the expense of privacy. While Google ensures that the tokens will not include unique identifiers, critics fear that this system, if misused, could lead to unwarranted surveillance and control.

In simpler terms, WEI provides a way for a browser to prove it is working as a website operator expects, and hasn’t been manipulated. If you have a website that offers in-browser gaming, and you want to make sure no player is cheating, you could use WEI to determine that connected clients are pure, legit, and not running any cheat code.

Somejätti Meta estää journalististen sisältöjen lukemisen ja jakamisen Facebookin ja Instagramin kanadalaisilta käyttäjiltä. Prosessi on alkanut tänään, ja se on täysin voimassa muutaman viikon sisään.

Video-sharing platform TikTok announced on Friday (4 August) changes to meet strict EU rules including allowing European users to turn off the addictive feature that shows content based on their interests.
Under the new rules, internet giants will be forced to take stronger action on data privacy, child protection, disinformation and hate speech. The European Commissioner overseeing the digital market, Thierry Breton, warned TikTok last month to accelerate its adoption of the new standards.

Facebookista kiinalaistrollien leikkikenttä – tavoitteena kaaos
https://www.tivi.fi/uutiset/tv/3eeb5463-cd9f-4e36-b0db-05d048cbabb5
Sosiaalisessa mediassa ja eritoten Facebookissa tapahtuva kiinalaisista tileistä lähtöisin toteutettu provosoiva kommentointi on lisääntymässä.
Kyseistä toimintaa kutsutaan trollaamiseksi.
Tällaisten tilien tavoitteena on hakea uusia keinoja eripuran synnyttämiseen kansalaisten keskuudessa muissa valtioissa. Facebookin edustajat kertoivat asiasta Australian viranomaisille tiistaina.
Euroopassa Facebookin emoyhtiö Meta on poistanut hiljattain lukuisia valheellisia väittämiä levittäneitä tilejä. Kaikkia tilejä operoitiin järjestelmällisesti Kiinasta.

Google’s plans to introduce the Web Environment Integrity (WEI) API on Chrome has been met with fierce backlash from internet software developers, drawing criticism for limiting user freedom and undermining the core principles of the open web.
Employees from Vivaldi, Brave, and Firefox have taken a strong, opposing stance against Google’s proposed standard, and some have gone as far as to call it DRM (digital rights management) for websites.

X added five-second delays, some now removed, on t.co links to Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Substack, the NYT, Reuters, and other sites Musk attacks — The site formerly known as Twitter has added a five-second delay when a user clicks on a shortened link to the New York Times …
Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to websites he dislikes
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/15/twitter-x-links-delayed/
The site formerly known as Twitter added a five-second delay when a user clicked on a shortened link to the New York Times, Facebook and other sites Musk commonly attacks, a Washington Post analysis found
The company formerly known as Twitter has been slowing the speed with which users could access links to the New York Times, Facebook and other news organizations and online competitors, a move that appeared targeted at companies that have drawn the ire of owner Elon Musk.
Users who clicked a link on Musk’s website, now called X, for one of the targeted websites were made to wait about five seconds before seeing the page, according to tests conducted Tuesday by The Washington Post.
The delayed websites included X’s online rivals Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky and Substack, as well as the Reuters wire service and the Times. All of them have previously been singled out by Musk for ridicule or attack.
On Tuesday afternoon, hours after this story was first published, X began reversing the throttling on some of the sites, dropping the delay times back to zero. It was unknown if all the throttled websites had normal service restored.
The delay affected the t.co domain, a link-shortening service that X uses to process every link posted to the website. Traffic is routed through the domain, allowing X to track — and, in this case, throttle — activity to the target website, potentially taking away traffic and ad revenue from businesses Musk personally dislikes.
