Floozy Speak!

Geeze the web is a zoo lately. Ya look away a few days and ya come back to the he said she said they said they do of the web.

What's up the all these R's

First up, the tech crunch zooomr story. First of all, do we really need yet another web2.0 beta app that ends in r. I mean really people, i thought web2.0 was a tad bit more original than that. But apparently not. What we got flagr, zoomr, otherr, themr, wer, tacor, etc.. Aside from that, ok so the kid made a nice clone, he had good material to start with. But should flickr be sweatin? Come on tech crunch, what do you got some stock in this project or anything. The whole point of web2.0 is to open, share and learn from each other. I dont see flickr in fear of this app any more than this app needs to be a clone of flickr to make it out there. And the 16 languages thing, come on, thats not a massive feature if you think about, probably some built in ajax magic'io library setup. Weak reporting.

Microsofts Oragami

I wasn't really impressed with ultra-tablet-pc unit microsoft announced last week.

It's basically a tablet pc with a 2hr battery life, touch screen, camera, mic, pen, optional keyboard, wifi, and optional gps (i think). So what. Is it another possible field research device? Maybe, could be good for medical folks too. They love that wifi portability of things. It's a bit like a newtons beefy brother from the future though, and not that much different.

Adventures in YouTube

Been on YouTube lately? They have a new and nifty notice when you upload stuff now. It's a big disclaimer that you of course agree to which is basically what yer uploading is all you, all original, nothing from any one else kind of agreement. I mean come on. Wired's told us, Apple's enabled us, Napster and Bit Torrent set us free, Delicious let us share and tag it, and now, yer saying WOOAH to the whole remix theme? Ummm isnt that a bit late YouTube? I mean, its what put yer site on the planet, you wouldn't be where yer at right now if it wasnt for people uploading whatever they wanted, whatever they deemed clippable, shareable, remixable. Yet now.. of course, after yer established, buzz-a-generated, deals imminent.. the warning appears. Lame YouTube.. lame.
