just in time for its third birthday, RSS-search-engine and -syndication-site Technorati received a major overhaul today (details are found at the Technorati-blog). despite the new design seems lighter (though a bit too colourful) and more aimed towards the live-web-newbie, the frontpage still fails to communicate Technorati’s unique selling point over conventional search engines in clear [...]
as reported, Dave Winer has startet a free and independent podcast-directory at podcasting.opml.org. everybody is welcome to contribute branches to the directory by collecting podcast-feeds in opml-files (the outline processor markup language allows to describe feed-lists in a standardized way – Dave Winer’s OPML-Editor is a great Windows/Mac-tool to write opml). for details, subscribe to [...]
according to TechCrunch, Microsoft announced Zune, their new take on digital music, media & entertainment, earlier today. while the official Billboard-article is currently offline and microsoft.com doesn’t lose any words on it yet, there are two microsofties from the Zune-team blogging about the project: Cesar Mendendez on ZuneInsider.com and Richard Winn on his Madison & [...]
Thumbstacks was one of the first web-apps for building simple presentations online. since its review on TechCrunch in march 2006, the AJAX-application hasn’t received any of the announced updates, leading to the conclusion that Thumbstack is a prove-of-concept currently in hibernation.
the featurelist includes text-boxes which can be moved and formatted freely, bulletlists and enumerations, image-import [...]
since Martin from futurenews.at is currently installing his very first MacBook, I thought I’ld collect some of my favorite Mac-utiltities for him…
Transmit 3 is probably the most popular FTP-client for the mac. it’s capable of all important protocols (FTP, sFTP, WebDav, .mac), integrates well with common text-editors for remote edit, syncs folders and offers a [...]
“BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees.”
essentially, BarCamps are ‘unconferences‘, meaning that all attendees are participating in some active way, i.e. taking a speech, demoing or help others in doing so [...]

Dave Winer recently proposed to build an open podcast directory in replacement for the now defunct ipodder.org (the domain is held by Adam Curry). a good idea, since everybody developing podcatchers, podcast-portals or similar websites needs directory-data to base their app on. using ipodder in its current state as data-source leads to bad user-experiences (think [...]
Zooomr, a photosharing-site indicating it’s adjacence with flickr not only by it’s vowel-scanting name, got a minor overhaul earlier this week. the launch of Zooomr 2.0 was originally scheduled for friday 14th, but had to be postponed due DDOS-attacks and further technical problems. Zooomr 2.0 improves on many existing features which outplay flickr, like shiny [...]
just discovered & subscribed to dead2.0, a blog by a guy nicknamed skeptic, who’s obviously tired of all the web2.0-hype. besides plain criticism and sarcasm, skeptic actually has something to say, like he recently proved with his post ‘11 suggestions for not being a dot-bomb 2.0′.
(reminds me of the great book ‘dot bomb’ by J. [...]
