just a few screenshots from the pending Xbox LIVE Update, which will include access to Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm & Zune marketplace. I couldn’t find Last.fm in the preview, but Facebook & Twitter really works well… if you want to be considered for upcoming Xbox preview-programs (this one seems to be closed down), sign up here!
Austria’s original, privately held TV-station ATV launched their new video-portal into private beta just yesterday. the ambitious goal: to mesh their very own on-air content with user-generated video, therefor building ‘Austria’s answer to YouTube’ (my interpretation) while bridging the gap between on-air & on-line. the strong emphasize on geo-location of users & videos might add [...]
Tripwolf is the latest project launched by austrian incubator i5invest (others include email charity, Papermint and 123people), and this time it’s all about social travel meets wiki. Tripwolf scores with a very polished design, smart features against social-fatigue (i.e. importing your social graph from Facebook) and a very ajax-ified user-interface. the printed PDF-travel-guides might seem [...]
so I got an invitation to Microsoft Mesh last night (it pays to stay up late and follow @stevegillmor). in some way Mesh is Microsoft’s answer to offline webapps (think Google Gears, AIR), weaving the fabric that is supposed to connect multiple devices, and applications. in its current rendition (don’t forget, this is labeled ‘Tech [...]
I’ve still got some invitation-codes for french video-startup Seesmic to share (thx, Hugh). Seesmic facilitates video-conversations among its users, similar to a Kyte.tv-channel or the video-reply of YouTube. while there’s currently no mobile client available, it’s quite easy to use Shozu to upload video directly from your cellphone – thx to an open FTP-interface on [...]

I’ve just received 3 more invites to Joost, and since the last time demand exceeded supply thought I’ld put them on offer again. just drop me a comment if you’ld like to try out Joost. myself I’ve been tuning in more often lately, esp. like the music-video channels by XL recordings and MOS.
I just received a few of the rather scarce invitation-tokens to Joost, the IPTV-project of Skype- & Kazaa-founders Frils & Zennström. if you are interested in joining the closed beta, just give me a comment below – first come first serve!
yes, there are indeed webapps coming from Austria (my home-country, in case you wonder)! although, tag2find isn’t really a webapp, but rather a local application migrating the highly successful web-metaphor of ‘tagging’ to local (Windows XP-)desktops. tag2find integrates common tagging-functionality for local files into Windows Explorer, displays tagclouds and offers a handy TagBox to tag [...]
I got an invite to Hey!Watch’s private beta today, and after trying it out I agree that it’s a very useful tool for collecting online-video. after installing the firefox-extension (works with Flock as well) or the provided bookmarklet, it’s just a single click to bring online video to your mobile player. Hey!watch seems to work [...]
