Open Social - Google vs Facebook
October 31st, 2007
Uma nova ferramenta será lançada nessa quinta-feira pelo Google, o Open Social - um projeto ousado que visa ser uma API social aberta à toda internet. O projeto compete diretamente com o Facebook e inclui parceiros como Orkut (do próprio Google), LinkedIn, Hi5, Friendster, Salesforce.com, Oracle, iLike, Flixster, RockYou, e Slide.
Open Social is very practical. Many standards die an early death because they are too complicated and hard to implement. Open Social is what you want in a standard — it’s expansive enough to do useful things, but limited enough to be very easy to implement, both for containers and for apps. (..) Is based entirely on Javascript. If you know HTML and Javascript today, you will be able to immediately use Open Social to turn your web applications and web sites into Open Social apps. This is very, very good for the web. Open Social is the kind of standard that web developers love, and can easily use.

YouTube Remixer
June 17th, 2007
O YouTube lançou sua própria ferramenta para edição de vídeos cadastrados pelos usuários no site: o YouTube Remixer - com o auxílio do Adobe Premiere Express é possível inserir gráficos, texto, áudio e editar transições. A interface é simples e a ferramenta toda em flash, como ainda está em versão beta acredito que o visual cinza e nada simpático será substituído em breve. Confira!
