    Glue: mobile content publishing to anywhere
    enbar
    by enbar  3-7-2008   
     I can't really explain what this does -- it can take your content and turn it into an RSS feed, XML, JSON, or Flash widget, but it's more than that -- seems like it could be handy.

    Chris Lott on Doris Lessing: she has a point
    enbar
    by enbar  12-12-2007    1
     Ed-tech blogger Chris Lott offers some reflections on Doris Lessing's Nobel speech, in which she decries the "stupidity" fostered by the Web. I tend to think, as does Lott, that she's mostly right.

    Web-based travel organizer (anyone tried this yet?)
    enbar
    by enbar  12-10-2007   
     When you book a trip online, email your itinerary to Tripit, and it will aggregate everything about your travel into a single page (plus it will pull in data from around the web that's relevant to your travel). Looks very handy.

    Free web hosting from FreeHostingNow.com
    enbar
    by enbar  12-10-2007   
     Anyone know anything about this service? It looks pretty attractive. Includes: PHP, mySQL, three databases, FTP access. Presumably you get what you pay for though.

    by enbar  8-7-2007   
     Some of these tools could potentially be useful. Most are for collaborating with others in one way or another.

    Web 2.0 in Germany? Not for much longer: site owners liable for all actionable statements
    enbar
    by enbar  6-24-2007   
     The first sentence in English: "Webmasters who wind up in the wrong German courthouse will find themselves liable for tirades posted by strangers on their pages, even if the comments are overlooked or immediately deleted."

    Online graphics generators for your site: roundup
    enbar
    by enbar  6-2-2007   
     Pete Cashmore of Mashable posts a roundup of tools for automating the design of your site. Emphasis is on sleek CSS layouts, pale gradients, and faux-3D reflection effects, so you get a nice Web 2.0 look overall. Can't imagine I'd ever need to use this, but I think I will probably get stuck redesigning my department's website, so ... maybe I will after all.

    enbar
    by enbar  5-16-2007   
     Notes on a lecture by Middlebury's Barbara Ganley. Not sure what to make of this, but .... it's interestning anyhow. I wish Levine (the blogger) had provided a little more context.

    Google Maps director on "the geoweb"
    enbar
    by enbar  5-13-2007   
     Google's Maps and Earth teams have a blog. This first post is a kind of quick glimpse into their thinking on maps and location-based computing (call it "the geoweb" or "where 2.0" or "earth browsers" or whatever). Via http://301url.com/9w5

    Web mashups, political influence, and transparency
    enbar
    by enbar  4-28-2007   
     Wired on the new enforced transparency in political influence-peddling generated by web mashups like MapLight.org and Congresspedia. Reminds me of the buzz around FundRace.org at the last election. Cool.

    Joyce's Ulysses via Twitter: oddly addictive
    enbar
    by enbar  4-3-2007   
     A bot at the Institute for the Future of the Book is "reading" an etext of Joyce's Ulysses to the world via Twitter -- a line every twenty minutes or so. I thought this was incredibly stupid, but I keep coming back to see what's new.

    Is the Web's easy access to information bad for education?
    enbar
    by enbar  3-26-2007    21
     Kind of an old story -- the old "the Web is making us stupider" line -- but expressed with some cogency.

    The next big thing in web apps from Zoho -- it's real big
    enbar
    by enbar  2-19-2007    6
     Very, very cool-looking web app from Zoho - kind of an online, Ajax-based version of Microsoft's OneNote. Unfortunately not open to the public yet. Looks really, really sweet, which is what i would expect based on Zoho's offerings to date.

     Looks very cool ... Make a tiny mini-website that can then be embedded into your MySpace, blog, or whatever. Like the ultimate, all-purpose widget.

    Zoho bridges desktop and web apps - TechCrunch
    enbar
    by enbar  12-1-2006    2
     This is big news: Zoho is introducing plugins for MS Office apps which will allow you to save directly to the Web from inside Word or Excel. If this really works, I will be ditching Google Docs. I just wish it were possible to do the same thing with Backpack.

    FeedCycle: "serialize" your feed
    enbar
    by enbar  11-29-2006   
     Apparently they invented "serialized" feeds. This means that when someone subscribes to your feed, they will automatically get episode 1 that day, then episode 2 the next day, etc., even if you are already up to episode 15 when they subscribe. I don't know what I'd use this for, but it sounds handy.

    Zotero - Online research tool
    enbar
    by enbar  10-10-2006    26
     A feature-rich citation manager built on top of Mozilla. Requires FF 2.0 to run. Mainly aimed at heavy users of online bibliographic databases. Getting a lot of hype. I'd like to try it, but I'm not interested in disabling all my FF 1.5.0.7 extensions.
