Exciting addition to the work I’ve been doing with Synchroneyes today! I got the children to use the chat feature to post research that they had found on the Internet about David Livingstone the Victorian explorer. This worked incredibly well and led to a really interesting discussion with the children about chatting in general. After the inital “Hi wassssaaaaapppp!” comments the children quickly started posting only relevant information. In fact they came and told me ...

Veteran Social Network Orkut today finally announced it’s Google talk integrated chat feature, similar to that in Gmail. It’s been quite late if you look at the feature that is being released today in comparison to that present in Facebook. Google Talk in orkut lets you: chat with your orkut friends in real time from directly within orkut control which of your orkut friends can chat with you chat with your Google Talk and Gmail ...

Mac OS X only: Free Adium plug-in Challenge Response prevents instant messaging spam by requiring unknown users to answer a quick challenge question before interrupting you with their message. Challenges would look something like, "What is the square root of 49 in numerical form?" which requires a response of "7," but you can customize your own question and answer. Once a user answers correctly (i.e., verifies intelligence), Challenge/Response adds that user to a whitelist and ...

Filed under: Fun, Internet, Google Not that we were huge fans of Lively to begin with, but I'm sure someone out there loved it. Right? No? Perhaps that explains Google's announcement that, "despite all the virtual high fives and creative rooms everyone has enjoyed in the last four and a half months, we've decided to shut Lively down at the end of the year." So grab those screenies before 2009 and your avatars and rooms ...

As conservatives across America continue to lick the wounds from their Nov. 4 drubbing and contemplate the why of it all, trying to figure out whether they should go more left or more right, I submit the following for their consideration (emphasis mine):Some 691,000 children went hungry in America sometime in 2007 [up 50% from 2006], while close to one in eight Americans struggled to feed themselves adequately even before this year's sharp economic downtown, ...

Filed under: Internet, Social Software, Ask DLS On Sunday, Business Week published an article stating "It's the end of instant messaging as we know it." In columnist Douglas MacMillan's mind, integrated chat features on sites like Facebook and GMail have signed the death warrant.Oh really? That's kind of interesting, because there's a lot of evidence that IM is alive and kicking.Taking a quick look at some stats on Download.com, I notice that these apps still ...

Yograbo Live! es la novedad de este servicio web donde los usuarios graban sus mensajes en vídeo y los comparten con la comunidad.

windrose 写道 "这已经不算新闻。 Open Sound System（OSS）项目由Hannu Savolainen在1992年创建，为UNIX类操作系统提供声卡驱动。该项目最初是自由软件，后来随着项目的成功，Hannu与4Front Technolygies公司签约，将项目转为私有软件。在Linux 2.4.x时代，OSS曾是唯一的声音解决方案，但随着ALSA的开发和发展，OSS在Linux领域渐趋式微。2007年7月，针对opensolaris和Linux的OSS源码分别以CDDL和GPL许可发布；2008年1月，针对BSD系统的OSS源码在BSD许可证下发布。 今年的9/11那天，Hannu在blog上宣布，开发OSS已经不足以成为生活来源，公司唯一的付费客户只剩下Sun一家。由于两家公司实力悬殊，Hannu将它比作猫玩老鼠的关系，一旦猫玩厌了，老鼠就活不成了。他不想等到这一天到来，只好选择放手，另找一份能养活自己的工作，在闲暇时间才会弄一弄OSS。但是会有多少闲暇可说不定。"

E’ da un po’ di tempo che se ne parla e proprio in questi giorni abbiamo avuto un’altra, importante prova made in Google: il futuro della chat altro non è che la sua evoluzione, la videochat! Ormai anche i più famosi client di messaggistica instantanea si sono aggiornati, okay. Ma se noi volessimo invece utilizzare un servizio terzo che non richiede registrazione e che è pronto già così com’è? Non dovremmo fare altro che utilizzare ...
