W3C Invites Implementations of TTML Profiles for Internet Media Subtitles and Captions 1.2

The Timed Text Working Group has published a Candidate Recommendation of TTML Profiles for Internet Media Subtitles and Captions 1.2. This specification defines two profiles of [ttml2]: a text-only profile and an image-only profile. These profiles are intended to be used across subtitle and caption delivery applications worldwide, thereby simplifying interoperability, consistent rendering and conversion to other subtitling and captioning formats. This specification improves on [ttml-imsc1.1] by supporting contemporary practices, while retaining compatibility with [ttml-imsc1.1] documents. It provides one new feature, which permits external font files to be referenced explicitly. One existing feature has been clarified, and no features have been deprecated in this version.

  The Ultimate Guide to Being Cited by Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity & Gemini In 2025, getting ranked on page 1 of Google is no longer enough. You now need to be the source that AI engines cite in their answers. Google’s AI Overviews already appear on more than 17-25 % of queries (depending on region), Perplexity is growing 300 % YoY, and ChatGPT Search is live. If your content isn’t structured in a way that large language models can easily parse, extract, and trust, you simply won’t appear in the new generation of search results.

ChatGPT Atlas - The Evolution of Search: From Links to Conversations

Image
In the ever-evolving landscape of web browsing, OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas has emerged as a bold challenger to the status quo. Launched on October 21, 2025, for macOS (with Windows, iOS, and Android versions teased as "coming soon"), Atlas isn't just another Chromium-based browser—it's an AI-infused portal that reimagines how we discover, process, and act on information.
