The Life of Riley - World’s Oldest Blogger
October 31, 2007 by Jonathan · Leave a Comment
Olive is the world’s oldest blogger, clocking in at 108. She blogs with help about her life and her story. What this leads me to is, all of this content that tweens are creating now, do they care enough to keep is alive, so that in generations future we will have all these MySpace pages, blog posts, and twitter feeds that we can look back upon?
I would imagine that it would be both a dream come true and a nightmare at the same time for historians. Imagine yourself a historian 400 years from now and sorting through landfills full of hard drives and servers with these mountains of data, how and where would you start? Now that’s something to think about!

YackPack - Simply Connected - VOIP Services Redux
October 30, 2007 by Jonathan · Leave a Comment
Yeah, well call me crazy but I’m not jumping on the VOIP bandwagon, I don’t really like talking on the phone, and I don’t really like talking through the computer either. Sure I do both on an almost daily basis, but I don’t enjoy it.
I’m hoping that one of these new VOIP service sites makes communicating in this manner easier, better looking, and more enjoyable. YackPack is integrating some of these nifty features, but so is everyone else at this point, including Adobe very soon.

Captology.tv | Sharing Media and Insights about Persuasive Technology
My primary focus is often pervasive media, but this class is devoted to the persuasive power of new-media. It’s not a site that I visit real often, but it does often have interesting nuggets of information about how people are using media and social applications with the intent to persuade.

Pudding Media - uh-oh ads for VOIP
October 28, 2007 by Jonathan · Leave a Comment
I presented this new company to my fellow Convergence Journalism friends last week and they were shocked… as am I. PuddingMedia promises free phonecalls (VOIP for now, cellphones in the future) if you’re willing to let them ‘listen’ to your conversations and serve-up relevant ads based on what you’re saying. Imagine if you’re making dinner plans in Miami with a friend and you then hear a beep and then a 30 second ad for a hot new club on the strip… and in exchange, your airtime was free.
Now, I’m sure I’m not the only person who this is worrisome for, and my colleagues were flabergasted. However, we live in a world where so many of our actions are already being recorded, is this all that much worse? Is this crossing the line? I’m not sure yet.
I do know that I’ve been using GOOG-411 lately, the free info service from Google to get ‘operator’ like intel on businesses, movies, weather and more… and I’m willing to bet they’re tracking my and my information requests!
I’ll be watching this company very closely, I’ve signed up for a beta-code but haven’t started testing. Rest assured loyal readers, I’ll have a detailed write-up very soon.

yourminis - Widgets for the rest of us?
October 27, 2007 by Jonathan · Leave a Comment
yourminis :: web widgets, blog widgets, desktop widgets, widgetize your content!
Well folks, here it is, the widespread simplification of widgetizing your content. While yourminis isn’t quite a plug-and-play, but it is a very strong AS3 API library for content creators to use. They already have big name partners like VH1, MTV, and others who hope to hit up the in-crowd and get them using widgets.
They also recently updated their codebase to include Adobe AIR support, so all your web widgets can be deployed, syndicated, and repurposed anywhere on the web or on the desktop.
This just further solidifies my belief that the widget economy is just about to explode, man I sure hope Contributr can get launched into beta before it happens!
