Tokoni may look and feel like a run-of-the-mill social network at first glance, but as you dig deeper it becomes clear that there’s something different here. It’s difficult to explain exactly why it’s different than a typical blog or social network because the heart of their service relies on users posting and commenting, which are the same ingredients they all share in common. However, Tokoni has managed to wrapped several new concepts around this common ...

As a individual who enjoys a good hike now and again, and who sees handheld GPS devices providing data for very many applications in the none-too-distant future, a Web service by the name of Trailino is something that appeals a great deal to me. It’s quite new, so you may have to forgive what users it has for not plying United States terrain as much as that of European (even to the east of the ...

Filed under: Software There are plenty of Mac tools for video compression in the marketplace, ranging from Windows Media-oriented tools (Flip4Mac) to professional workflow builders (Sorenson Squeeze) to hardware-assisted H.264 crunchers (Elgato turbo.264). Few of these products, however, have hit the sweet spot of wide-ranging capability, quality output and extremely affordable pricing like VisualHub from Techspansion. For less than $25, you got Flash and WMV output that rivaled products 3x the price, plus easy conversion ...

Photo sharing site Flickr just activated an iPhone-scaled version of the site for anyone visiting the site with a mobile Safari browser. The menus are optimized to put the most-accessed activities—photo stream browsing, "Explore" mode, and recent comment activity—right up front, and your upload-by-email address is placed in the "More" section. Best of all, Flickr's site pre-loads many of the iPhone-scaled thumbnails you're checking out, so flipping between pictures often doesn't require any kind of ...

Exposure is a nice app for viewing Flickr photos on the iPhone. I'm still looking for a decent app to upload photos though. Not happy with the few I've seen because they don't allow me to upload photos private and/or don't allow greater customization with tags and titles.

Very cool. Doesn't show the iPhone-enhanced version unless you have the right UserAgent string, though.

I was disturbed today to learn that a Flickr friend of mine Pierre Honeyman had his account deleted by Flickr. Pierre had been a long time contributor to Flickr and one of its most active users. Like me, Pierre joined Flickr over three years ago back in the days before Yahoo. He was very active (daily) in many of the groups that I was in and while occasionally a critic of censorship of Flickr, I ...

Ouch, talk about customer service done poorly. I almost feel like this should be a case study in how not to operate. Starting with reading into vague signals from your users and ending with deleting an account from someone who has a bad day.

At the time, there were no true geocaching apps available for the iPhone 3G, so I talked about how to use the software that comes on the phone to find hidden caches.Since July, a number of apps have appeared (Geopher Lite and iGeocacher to ...

OpenID is an excellent solution for establishing a single identity for all your online accounts, but many people haven’t even tried it yet. For some, the concept of using a URL address for a login ID instead of the traditional email address is still completely foreign. However, Email to ID could be what the doctor ordered and what these creatures of habits need. It could also be what OpenID needs in order to expedite wide-spread ...
