Facebook Application Development – First Steps
Google finally released their own (there have been some more or less well-working rip-offs in the past) mobile version of YouTube at m.youtube.com! the mobile XHTML-application utilizes external video-player software for playback (Real Networks’ media-player in case of most current Nokia-phones). unlike Robert Scoble, who’s on a Nokia N95 going for 750,- USD, everything worked [...]
Flick-a-day lets users log a face-shot (either directly by webcam or image-upload) each day. the resulting pictures are combined into slideshows/flicks which can be embedded into other webpages through a flash-widget. watch yourself growing old!
Google Operating System has screenshots of the upcoming relaunch of YouTube’s flash-based video-player. although the embedded demo doesn’t work for me, it seems like the new player will feature cue-jumping to parts of the clip not yet downloaded as well as embedded thumbnail-preview of related clips.
Adobe Apollo/Flex continues to dominate this weeks tech-news with two – though distant – product announcements.
Virtual Ubiquity is aiming for a public beta-release of their Flex-based word-processor BuzzWord (Screenshot courtesy of GigaOM) in summer 2007. thanks to Apollo, BuzzWord will run both on- and offline, which puts it way ahead of Google Docs. it’ll be [...]
sooner than expected, Linden Labs yesterday announced integration of voice-messaging into Second Life for Q2/2007, with a beta-run starting as early as next week. while residents have been using Skype and other popular teamspeak-applications since ages, the native SL-feature will go further by offering 3D-enabled, spatial audio. if done properly, this will increase the [...]
the latest flash-based annotation & arrangement-tools of Photobucket sure look good. recording for audio & video seems to be built in too (features currently only available to premium users).

according to Read/WriteWeb, Firefox 3 will offer support for running web-applications offline. though it’s not yet clear on which level this might happen, this is major news for providers of service-based web-software. the biggest advantage of online-apps – using them on any device with net-access with no need to sync data – is at [...]
if you’re into music-recommendation & -exploration services, you might wanna check out Musicovery. set your preferred mood (energetic, dark, positive, calm), period (80ies, 90ies etc.) and musical genres, and Musicovery will generate a matching – though static – playlist. while this is definitely inferior to Pandora’s dynamically adjusting streams, Musicovery offers a beautiful flash-based visual [...]
with Quick Capture, YouTube has been adding a very interesting feature to their service recently. Quick Capture allows users to record & upload videos straight from their website, without the need of using any additional editing-software. by capturing any connected (web-)cam through a flash-applet, this feature greatly reduces friction in contributing online-video. my guess is, [...]
