New Media Tools Of The Week: Sharewood Picnic 76
Livia Iacolare and Robin Good
{Once again, they challenge us with new web services.}
***Begin Quote***
1. Immense http://www.immen.se/ is a network that provides online video publishers with the capability to use contextual ads in videos.
Nah, I don’t create video!
2. Toufee http://www.toufee.com/ is a web based editor that allows you to create and publish flash movies and presentations online.
Nah, I don’t that much.
3. Veeker http://veeker.com/veeker/ is a service that lets you and your friends communicate instantly using the video cameras in your mobile phones.
Nah, No friends!
4. mTextbox http://www.mtextbox.com/ is a service that enables you to upload text files that you can read on your mobile phone.
Nah, why would I want to do that?
5. Tabblo http://www.tabblo.com/ is a service that lets you upload your photos and create albums that you can share with other people.
Nah, Another one?
6. MediaFile http://www.mediafire.com/ is a service that lets you upload unlimited size files also simultaneously.
Nah, Another one?
7. Huddle http://www.gohuddle.com/ is a hosted service that offers virtual workspaces called ‘huddles’, which can be used to manage projects, share and review documents, monitor timelines and discuss work across the members of the group.
Maybe, if cheap enough, it might be good for any ad hoc group to exploit.
8. Freenigma http://www.freenigma.com/ is a service that adds privacy technology (with strong e-mail encryption) to your webmail service.
Winner, This can be used by everyone in today’s era of snoopy gubamint.
9. Wridea http://www.wridea.com/ is project management tool that allows you to create a page for each project and different categories for each work type.
Maybe, ditto above, it might be good for an ad hoc group to exploit.
10. LocalHostr http://beta.localhostr.com/ is a service that allows you to upload and store any type of file up to 20MB.
Maybe, duplicates other big file store and share site, need to know what the limits are. There have to be limits don’t there? Or, does it do something fancy?

I sent an email message using gmail. GREAT!
Now I can’t figure out how to change to a different email account?

Yesterday at work, PA on NOTEBOOK said that PRINTER on WORKTOP was offline. But PA on WORKTOP says it was online.
Today at home, PA on NOTEBOOK says that PRINTER on HOMETOP is offline. But, PA on HOMETOP says it is online.
http://groups.google.com/group/printeranywhere/
Their GOOGLEGROUP has a problem report.
Sounds like a bug at the PA mothership.
I fell back to my PCANYWHERE / GOTOMYPC and printed in both cases. SO I’m sure it ain’t me!

Ubuntu 6.10 flexible and user-friendly released
***Begin Quote***
Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too!
The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit.
These freedoms make Ubuntu fundamentally different from traditional proprietary software: not only are the tools you need available free of charge, you have the right to modify your software until it works the way you want it to.
ubuntu definition
Ubuntu is suitable for both desktop and server use. The current Ubuntu release supports PC (Intel x86), 64-bit PC (AMD64), Sun UltraSPARC and T1 (Sun Fire T1000 and T2000), PowerPC (Apple iBook, Powerbook, G4 and G5) and OpenPower (Power5) architectures.
Ubuntu includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core desktop installation fits on a single CD. Ubuntu covers every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to web server software and programming tools. Read more about Ubuntu on the desktop and Ubuntu on the server.

I couldn’t find a torrent, so I had to do it the old fashioned way. I’ll try it now and report back.

Someone asked me to formulate a demonstration of Web 2.0 and the power of XML.
Let’s go BLOG 2 FEED 2 EMAIL.
Free.
AND, completely independent inet web services that speak XML to each other.
SO we’re going to tie WORDPRESS (a great blog site) to FEEDBURNER (a great feed generating site) to FEEDBLITZ (a great feed 2 email site).
Without cost and in minutes.
==== BEGIN ====
Start a free blog
Let’s create “loveconquersallthings”.
It’s now at:
http://loveconquersallthings.wordpress.com/
Put in a message at:
https://loveconquersallthings.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
You’re now a blogger.
Go to a different web service site, and create a feed:
http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home
and it now tells you that the feed is available here:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/wordpress/RPsI
Now you have a blog and a feed, lets ship it to email:
and it tells you here’s the link to add an email output:
http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=115156
Plug in your email address and respond to the challenge.
It sends an email to confirm that the owner of the email wants it.
Confirm your subscription with the link in the email.
==== DONE ====
Now write a post in your blog. And the next day, it appears in your email box.
Why?
You have put the email recipient in true control of their subscription to your blog. You don’t need to know their email address. No chance for spam.
That’s the promise of web 2.0!
I hope that helps.

A new social networking blog site with the concept of logical neighborhood. Just launched. Free. I’m there. Noodling around the concept. Join up with me or ping for an invite. If you wanted to try blogging and virtual networking, this seems like a gentle way to stick that toe in. imho.

LUGGABLE needed a reboot. It slowed to a crawl. FFOX2 appears to be the culprit with all applications entries not responding. Nuking everything in sight didn’t seem to help. Argh!

Dear Support:
Put in:
http://www.thinkfree.com/filelink.tfo?filemasterno=492907&filekey=o6l02vlqyp
Got out:
https://reinkefj.wordpress.com/2006/10/26/thinkfree-to-wordpress-test/
Note the garbage line that looks like bad format.
Note all the advertising. (Yuck!)
Verdict: Would be a good feature. Not properly implemented. Obviously not tested.
imho!
