I’m sorry, I can’t help it - I’m a sucker for mashups. Which is why I have to bring the latest one to your attention: Tumbltape. It’s exactly how it sounds: a Muxtape for Tumblr. Just when you thought Muxtape was gone for good, it has inspired John Zanussi and Adam Gotterer to catch on the music sharing wave and create Tumbltape, which takes the latest songs (aka - audio files) from each user’s tumblelog ...

There’s a great interview with NPR’s Andy Carvin over at Poynter where he talks about their coverage of Hurricane Gustav. It’s a classic example of what I’ve previously called ‘Distributed Journalism’, and a lesson for any news organisation in how news production has changed: “For Hurricane Gustav, he has led 500 volunteers putting together the Gustav Information Center, which includes a Wiki and a site called “Voices of Gustav.” The Voices site is set up ...

Al giorno d’oggi il risparmio energetico è diventato uno dei temi principali di discussione. Uno dei metodi è quello di installare pannelli solari o pannelli fotovoltaici sul tetto, che hanno il vantaggio di sfruttare l’energia gratuita che ogni giorno la nostra stella ci regala. L’efficienza è ancora un punto dolente ma la ricerca tecnologica sta progredendo per colmare anche questa lacuna. Roofray è un servizio on-line gratuito che permette, una volta individuato sulla mappa satellitare ...

In the middle of the movie Gremlins 2, there is a sequence where the film seems to break, and where the gremlins invade the projection booth. For the VHS edition in the early 90's, they reshot a special sequence where the VHS tape seemed to be torn apart and in which the gremlins invaded a John Wayne movie. The DVD just kept the original theatrical version. Sacha Feiner's fan video updates the "break sequence" for ...

Ubiquity 的本意是：无所不在、统一。顾名思义，Mozilla希望通过此Firefox插件来统一目前所有的在线服务。Ubiquity的功能是在是太强大了，不能一下子说清楚，详细介绍就查看下面的视频及我精选的一些介绍文章吧。 这里仅列举一些Ubiquity的应用方法，可能大多数人和我一样，也只关心Ubiquity怎么使用。 首先有一个小Tip，快捷键的设置需要更改一下，默认的Ubiquity的快捷键是“Ctrl+Space”，和输入法切换快捷键冲突，可以自定义成自己喜欢的如“Ctrl+Z”(Via) 另外举几个例子吧，一是“translate (text) (from language) (to language)”将选中文本翻译成特定语言，选中页面的内容“Email+name”直接通过Email发送选中页面内容，“Wikipedia+搜索内容”，“Weather+上海”上海的天气，”Map shanghai“显示上海的地图，“add-to-calendar”增加内容到Google Calendar。 另外可以选中内容右键发送到flickr，Twitter，youtube，Email等服务。 相关文章介绍精选： Firefox + 命令行 = Ubiquity Ubiquity，连接一切的插件[Firefox] Ubiquity：Firefox创新应用、全能扩展(原创视频) Mozilla Ubiquity：无所不在 Ubiquity:Mozilla实验室推出智能页面Mashup工具 Ubiquity 命令列表及使用指导 [Firefox] 官方页面：http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/ 官方教程：Labs/Ubiquity/Ubiquity 0.1 Author Tutorial 插件下载地址：Download Ubiquity 0.1 相关文章推荐Vistazoo:创建个性化富媒体展示地图 (5)Video DownloadHelper:视频下载Firefox插件 (0)WebApp网站列表：Feed/RSS合烧服务网站 (1)Foxmarks：书签同步Firefox插件 (1)Zentation:视频PPT在线混合服务 (1) © watsonxu for 天涯海阁, 2008. | Permalink | One comment | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: addon, firefox, mashup, Mozilla, Ubiquity, webapp 更多Web2.0资讯：Web2.0 News | Web2.0 Gallery | Mobile2.0资讯 | 卖链接赚美元 Feed enhanced ...

mozilla salı günü ubiquity adlı eklentisini duyurdu. Özetle söyleyecek olursak ubiquity internette işinizi kolaylaştırmaya aday bir uygulama. eklentinin geliştiricilerinden As Raskin Ubiquity için şöyle tanımlama yapıyor. Bir arkadaşınızı san francisco daki bir restorana yemeğe davet etmek istiyorsunuz ve bunun için ona bir email göndereceksiniz. E-maile ayrıca restorantın bulunduğu yerin bir haritasını, restoran hakkında görüşler falan eklemek istiyorsunuz. tüm bunları internetten bulup eklemeniz bi hayli vakit alacaktır.

First off, I am not a huge Girl Talk fan, or Easter Egg, or anybody like that. The music is interesting and every once in a while I might throw one on at a party if I think I can pull it off. So I get this DJ who sends me his mix and calls it in the fashion of Girl Talk, so I looked over it. I think I checked out one tune and ...

Westinghouse is putting on some big britches today with the announcement of the 40-inch VK-40F580D. It’s an LCD HDTV/DVD player combo with full 1080p resolution. That’s really all it has going for it other than a USB port to view photos from a thumb drive or digital camera. Although, the price point isn’t too bad for a full 1080p television at $1,049. Specs after the jump. The VK-40F580D features: · 1080Pure™ for 1080p resolution out ...

Mozilla Labs 在昨天发布了一款全新的Firefox插件——Ubiquity，它能够帮助用户将所能构想到互联网服务聚合至浏览器中并应用于页面信息的切割。 Mozilla 实验室在昨日发布了一款名为Ubiquity（无所不在?）的Firefox智能插件。它的诞生主要是为了提高用户和站点之间的交互功能而设计，使用户可以当前页面中通过一两句形如“Translate (text) (from language) (to language)、Email to sb etc.”简单的命令行语句，将当前页面中或者默认指定的信息反馈给用户（譬如：翻译当前选中文本、发送电子邮件等等）。Ubiquity 另外一项重要的功能是能够通过内容的切割技术从反馈网页中提取部分信息，让用户直接通过拖拽的方式嵌入到可视化编辑框中，从而大大提高了用户的使用效率。 [如果您是RSS Reader，您可能无法收看到上面一段视频，请点击这里收看] 还是不能理解Ubiquity到底是做什么玩的？上面一段视频应该可以帮助你很好的理解他们的服务。同时，我还可以举些具体的例子： 譬如，你可以通过在命令行中（默认情况下 Ctrl+Space调出控制面板）输入“Google Maps +{地址}”指令来获取地理位置，“Youtube+{视频名称}”搜索视频，“Flickr{图片名称}”网罗精彩图片，“Translate {text} from{ language1} to {language2}”翻译文本，“Email to {sb}”给某人发送电子邮件等等等等。同时，作为开放源码的倡导者，Mozilla 理所当然开放了API，甚至是源代码，因此，任何第三方运营商都可以在此基础上开放出相应的扩展指令。 BTW：下面是YY内容，您完全可以忽略掉：8Box 我和你——不跳转至八宝盒直接在当前页面听奥运歌曲；Baidu 分享网络2.0——搜索我的博客；Douban 交互设计之路——查找相关书籍名称 ；Crsky QQ——获取腾讯QQ下载地址~~~ Copyright © 2008 本站作品采用知识共享署名-非商业性使用-禁止演绎 2.5 中国大陆许可协议进行许可

Now when you hear mashing or mashups of services, you think of wacky combinations like Yahoogle or Microdigg. A web site or service that awkwardly brings two or more services together. Ubiquity, a new Firefox add-on from Mozilla wants to turn mashing on it’s head. How? They are going to take a more natural approach to it. Ubiquity takes language based instructions and turns them into action, right where you need them to be. This ...

Mozilla Labs nie przestaje mnie zadziwiać kreatywnością. Twórcy Ubiquity zwerbalizowali powszechną potrzebę - w Internecie za trudno robi się proste rzeczy. Np. nie da się wrzucić mapy do maila. Albo trzeba ręcznie skracać linki (kopiujesz link, wchodzisz na tinyurl, wklejasz, kopiujesz znowu - nuuuda), albo strasznie niewygodnie sprawdza się lokalizacje wielu punktów na mapie (np gdy szukamy mieszkania i chcemy porównać gdzie, które jest) itd. Z pomocą przychodzą mashupy. Ich jedyną wadą jest to, że ...
