Plurk.com

Posted by Daniel on 2nd June 2008

I am just playing around with Plurk.com, which is another microblogging service. Personally i’m not a big fan of microblogging, but anyhow, i like Plurk. The creators have integrated a lot of little and nifty features (a timeline etc.).

But see & try yourself

Revenue Share Network: Zenzuu

Posted by Daniel on 13th April 2008

I got an invitation for “ZenZuu“, which is another social-network-bla-bla:

ZenZuu is a next generation social networking platform that lets you create a profile similar to other ancient social networks, except our leading edge technology allows you to make money by signing up your friends and receive revenue sharing.

I don’t know. But for me the focus lies too much on money. Not making friends, not having fun etc. — just making money. And that makes the network not very friendly. You see ads everywhere, have a complex privacy policy and i don’t really find the information who stands behind this project. But thats only my opinion after some minutes of use. ;)

Update: Uh, and here is the whole formula stuff, which is used for their revenue share program.

Zemanta

Posted by Daniel on 4th April 2008

6th Creative Commons Japan SeminarImage from WikipediaJust found Zemanta on the Web and i am just using it when writing this article. Its a Firefox Plugin and searches your written words in Wordpress for example and suggests pictures and other articles which you can link to your posting.
Very nice if you are lazy and want to tune up your article with some nice stuff — like i do now ;). And it has a really cool integration in Wordpress.
Despite of this, the first thing that come to my mind when i read about this tool, was the copyright problem with embedded pictures. But they solved it apparently:

[...] All content that we are suggesting is copyright cleared – either clearly licenced as Creative Commons, or approved by stock providers.

Adobe Photoshop Express

Posted by Daniel on 28th March 2008

Adobe has opened the registrations to their really phat looking online photo editing tool “Adobe Photoshop Exress“. Its based on Flash and runs fine on Safari. On Firefox i had some problems.

Adobe Photoshop Exress

The editing features are not comparable to the real Photoshop Software or maybe GIMP, but for quick modifying of pictures its sufficient, i think.

Adobe Photoshop Express

But watch out what kind of photos you upload, because you grant Adobe a very exclusive right (see https://www.photoshop.com/express/terms.html):

[...] However, with respect to Your Content that you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Services, you grant Adobe a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other Materials or works in any format or medium now known or later developed.

Tagzania: tagging the planet

Posted by Daniel on 30th August 2007

Tagzania is about tags and places. If you register and log in, you can add places, points, to create and document your maps. When you add a point, you may tag it with keywords. That way, Tagzania is not only a place to build and keep your own maps, shared territories are created as well.

TechCrunch über Web2.0 in Deutschland

Posted by Daniel on 15th May 2007

Super Beitrag auf TechCrunch, wo die Frage gestellt wird, ob Deutschland nur ein Volk von “Copy/Paste”-Entwicklern ist oder auch selbst kreativ sein kann.

Web 2.0 in Germany: Copy/Paste Innovation or more?

YouTube gibt mal wieder Benutzerdaten weiter

Posted by Daniel on 14th February 2007

YouTube war ja schon immer recht freizügig mit der Herausgabe von Benutzerdaten, wenn Copyright-Verstöße aufgetreten sind. Nun ist es schon wieder passiert:

Three weeks after receiving a subpoena from the U.S. District Court in Northern California, YouTube has reportedly identified a user accused by 20th Century Fox Television of uploading episodes of the show 24 a week prior to their running on television.

Ui, ne Menge Kohle

Posted by Daniel on 8th February 2007

  • YouTube-Mitgründer Chad Hurley kassierte 694.087 Google-Aktien – plus noch einmal 41.232 Anteilsscheine, die für ihn in einem Trust hinterlegt wurden. Macht zusammen 345 Millionen Dollar (gemessen am gestrigen Kurs der Aktie). Hurley, der in diesem Jahr seinen 30. Geburtstag feiert, kommt allerdings wohl kaum dazu, das Geld leichtfertig zu verprassen: Als CEO von YouTube hat er weiter gut zu tun – und bezieht deshalb übrigens immer noch Gehalt von der Firma.
  • Auch kein Armer ist sein Gründungs-Partner Steve Chen, 28, dem 625.366 (plus 68.721 in einem Trust festgelegte) Aktien im Wert von 326 Millionen Dollar überschrieben wurden. Auch er ist immer noch im Unternehmen tätig, als Chief Technology Officer.

Vogelfreie Daten im Web 2.0

Posted by Daniel on 7th February 2007

Netter Artikel bei Telepolis, der den ganzen Web2.0-Kram wie bloggen, soziales Netzwerken usw. kritisch im Hinblick auf den Datenschutz beleuchtet.

Datenjagd. Im sozialen Web 2.0-Theater sind persönliche Daten vogelfrei.

Dazu passend nochmal Hinweis auf folgende Beiträge von mir ;)

Auf gehts zum Menschen bewerten…

Posted by Daniel on 27th January 2007

…und zwar bei Rapleaf. Bewertungsportale für Plätze, Orte, Gegenstände, Musik, Bookmarks usw. sind ja in Ordnung. Aber andere Leute? Ich weiß nicht so recht.

Ein anderes Projekt von den Machern von Rapleaf ist Upscoop. Hier gibt man den Upscoop-Leuten erst einmal die eigenen Zugangsdaten zu E-Mail-Anbietern wie GMAIL, AOL, Hotmail oder Yahoo. Daraufhin importiert die Software munter Adressen aus dem eigenen Adressbuch in das Upscoop-System. Und dann geht das “große Schnüffeln” los und das Programm zieht durch mehrere Soziale Netze und schaut welcher von den Adressbuch-Kontakten dort registriert ist.

Wer solch ein “Matching-Zeugs” vermeiden möchte, weil ja nicht jeder wissen muss in welchen sozialen Netzen man vertreten ist, kann sich nochmal den “Privacy Survival Guide for Social Networks” durchlesen. ;)
