Issuu is a free web service that finally does pdf rendering right. The page display is crisp and clear, and it loads faster than Adobe’s own browser. You can upload it to a permanent web address or use the Issu widget to display the file. It’s clean and simple — you’ll like this one.
Blog TV, another YouTube-ish amateur web television site is now offering its live shows on mobile phones. The system is flash based, so if you own an iPhone, don’t expect it to work, but the streaming video does push the envelope compared to others of its ilk by adding in a chat feed and a host stream to amp up the live performance into something unique.
Who doesn’t love Gmail? Well, today we’ve got a link to the best tools and resources for every Gmail power user. From nifty skins that make your inbox look good to must have tools that turn your 6 gigs of email storage into a portable network drive.
And finally, Ask.com and Digg are collaborating to make news site called Big News. Unlike Digg, users won’t be able to vote a story’s ranking up or down. The rankings will ordered by an algorithm that includes freshness, link popularity, and impact.
Thanks Brad.
Another excellent update! Some significant developments here.
Thanks,
Ed Shaz
PS-
Perhaps a ‘News Tips’ address would be a good add-on for the site too.
Brad,
This vlog has great potential. I like what you’re doing short and sweet. You may want to frame your shot a little differently so that you can add an over the shoulder box. Its should be really easy to do. Here’s a link to a “newscast” I helped a local non profit produce. http://myurbanreport.blip.tv/file/622714/
Also, I figure you know about blip.tv already but you may want to consider using blip to embed your videos. I think the quality of the player is a bit better, and your show could get featured on the site.
Great job!
PEACE!!
