60 seconds of video from your mobile phone and upload this video to

the Veeker portal where, depending upon whether you sent it to one of
three addresses is visible only […]

MySpace, FIlm Council and Channel 4
MySpace is generally about music but that doesn’t mean it can’t also be about film - and now it’s owners have a strong UK presence that’s what it’s trying to do.
The upstart social network is in talks with the continuously, perpetually upstart UK TV channel, Channel 4, and together they’re asking the UK film council […]
The Need for New Audience Metric
Robert Scoble wrote today about the need for a new audience metric. Coincidentally I’d been writing about it late last week:
says Scoble:
“….we need to measure stuff other than just whether a download got completed or not. She says we need a “likeability” stat. I think it goes further than that.
There’s another stat out there called […]
The Widget Future of Blogs
The good blogs has a natural community of support - the dozens of bloggers who are in their blogging network referring visitors to each others’ sites. I am one of them and enthusiastically so.
What being in the network means to me is not really to do with traffic. I don’t believe my traffic has increased […]

Scoble On Zune: And Another Thing, Micro-Employment
Comments on Robert Scobles podcast on Zune may have come a little early to pick up on the news that Microsoft are considering making payments to people who refer a song to a friend, when that friend then buys the track.
You can see a trend out there of micro-employment. There are sites offering small payments […]
European Horizons in Paris
Platform European Grid is a Euro conference on GRID applications and it’s supposed to be looking at real life problems currently being resolved by GRIDs.
