on
CenterNetworks - (20) permalink
Video hosting service Viddler has announced the launch of a new service today, 15s. The idea behind 15s is to create videos using a webcam of 15 seconds or less. The videos are then instantly sent to your Twitter buddy list. The videos also appear in your Viddler video stream. Assuming this service becomes popular, it might be good for Viddler to allow a split between regular videos and these new 15s videos.

Doodle Launches Event Planning Tool Inside Facebook (9)
onLast month we reviewed a Swiss-based service named Moreganize. Our Swiss reporter, Corsin, noted that the biggest competition to Moreganize would come from another Swiss-based company, Doodle. Today Doodle has announced the launch of an event planning tool as a Facebook application. It's interesting to watch the event planning category move to a crowdsourced model where polls are used to find a time and date that meets the needs of the group.

Using Web 2.0 in the Workplace (22)
onShel Holtz has put together a 30-minute video about moving Web 2.0 tools into the enterprise. I've embedded his video below. The video is pretty long but it's worth a watch to get the basics on using tools including blogs, podcasting and social networking within large companies. I tried for years to get a corporation to embrace these tools, it's very hard to get a large company to embrace change. Especially when the corporate culture ...Shared by Anand L (6) Andy (5) baixinho (25) billpoly (13) CannonGod (199) David (6) DOCBook Howto (100) Drew Olanoff (125) Eric Herberholz (31) Gauravonomics (39) Hao (14) jeroendemiranda (9) Joe (92) Joshua Oehler (2) Mike F (381) MrGuff (76) Ralf (2) Rex (101) Robert Scoble (61) Simon (14) Tac (16) Thomas Smith (23)Contribute comment

Microsoft Live Search Cashback Paying Up to 62.5% and Why It Could Still Be a Winner (4)

NY-based child journal service Kidmondo has announced a partnership with another NY-based company, SharedBook. When I reviewed Kidmondo back in May, I suggested that this partnership should be made because both companies could benefit in overall distribution. And it's great to see NY helping NY. The printed book is a "Kidbook" and really is a great way to take the online journal offline to create the more traditional children's journal and keepsake. It's also a ...Shared by urbanant (0)Contribute comment -
FriendFeed Doesn't Care About Mona (2)

I am not sure I agree with that - when the early adopter blogs posted about the new beta last week, how many new ...Shared by dobata (324) Duncan (78)Contribute comment
