TVBLOB - European Web 2.0
I was going to blog this and then I wasn’t but… It’s an Italian project that I picked up through alarm clock. It’s webcams through the TV set and it’s aimed at cable operators who are developing IPTV networks. My guess is it will work better once the developers have some buddy software in […]
Selling and Buying Content
A couple of sites addressing a much needed issue - the latest entrant being Cruxy and the elder statesman being esnips. Esnips let’s you share or buy-sell all your digital content. There’s room for many more such marketplaces and Cruxy moved in a few days back.
Cruxy is the work of a couple of New […]

Food Blogs are Doing a Bit of Social Networking
As a food blogger in my spare time I’m amazed at how well food blogs are covered in the mainstream media, and of course how elegant many are.
If you leave aside the tech community, blogs seem to have been invented for people to share ideas about basic sustenance and flash restaurants.
Over on foodblogschool foodie […]
Getting Noticed is Not Always in Google’s Hands
How much can Google dominate the way we get noticed online was, for the last couple of years anyway, no kind of an issue. I’ve begun to notice some changes though and it should pose a question for how anybody, business or charity, celebrity or plain Joe, goes about developing and improving a presence online.
I […]
Dealing With All That Information
Blogbridge is a way of organising feeds coupled to a system of subjects expert who are…. organising feeds. It’s an open source package. And it lets you synch between your different computers (a facility I din’t try). It proposes feeds to you as well as letting you build up a visual bank of feeds you […]
That Old Pipeline Again - Eprécis
The people behind eprécis are clearly having fun.
The application summarises any text document (I know Word has that functionality too) but eprécis applies it to search returns.
In fact they have many applications areas but I trialed only the search returns element.
Enter your search term and eprécis will give you back your regular search return […]
European Web 2.0 All Peers
AllPeers is a browser extension which combines “the strength of Firefox and the efficiency of BitTorrent to transform your favorite browser into a media sharing powerhouse.” I wonder if that was written before or after Flock launched.
AllPeers sell is that it uses an inteerface with no sign up or upload to allow you to share […]
Connotea - Applying Those Social Values to Science. Web 2.0 Europe, European Web 2.0
Nature happens to be one of the most important publishing groups in science but that hasn’t stopped it becoming an innovator and a flag waver for Web 2.0 Europe.
It’s application of social media should finally force us to think beyond link sharing (which is effectively what Digg et all become) to more purposeful […]
Netvibes - More European Web 2.0
Paris-based Netvibes has collected plenty of good Internet karma and like many Web 2.0 applications it’s clearly fun, sort of useful, and growing into a place where you could accomplish much of the information acquisition, contribution (e.g. digging articles) and organising that you need through the interface you like.
Why then do I remain sceptical? […]
