Mosnaps is Picking up Speed Thursday 2008-05-15

So finally Mosnaps is launched albeit in beta. This is not to deter you, as all web 2.0 sites are in beta, seemingly for ever. What you can do at this nice community site is really fun. From your mobile smartphone, you can upload images from its directories or directly from the camera. The images are immediately accessible by your friends and family, or for anyone if you make them public.

They are automatically presented at you Mosnaps public page - mine is http://mosnaps.com/petit.
You can also copy and paste code form your account to include one of the Flash based Mosnaps viewers on you own site or on Myspace or FaceBook.

You can have a look at the FaceBook viewer right here. So go to the Mosnaps site and sign up. If you have a supported phone, you download a small Java application directly to you phone and start mosnapping.

If your phone is not yet supported, you can upload images through a web interface. On your account you can also reorganize your images, edit your descriptions and get comments from other members of the community.

Using a nifty drag and drop applications, you can create slide shows by dragging and dropping images from your different albums. The slideshow is saved and can be shown at any time at any site using a Flash based slide show viewer.

Join and make your friends know what you are doing right now.

Oops Tuesday 2008-04-01

What happened to this blog of mine?

If you are my reader, I can assure you that this uncluttered and rudimentary look is only temporary and for experimental reasons.

Yours truly!

Mosnaps on the run Monday 2008-03-31

A Mosnaps slide viewer
I’m working hard with Harish, Amit, Alexandre, Brandon and others to get the Mosnaps site afloat. Hopefully it will happen soon now.

Not everything will work and it will still be beta, but the site is getting nicer and cooler for each day. Some nice flash viewers, which is my contribution, will be ready to present your mobile snapshots. Work is done by the Indian group to get Java uploaders for different Java enabled phones, but they are not ready yet. Until that works, people with other phones than the Blackbarry’s can upload images over the web. It is also possible to organize already uploaded images over a web interface and to view and comment your friend’s images.

It will be a lot of fun on this new social site. Is that web 2.0? You bet :-)

Have You Upgraded to web 2.0? Tuesday 2006-09-05

I had a really good laugh, reading Lincoln Spector’s article in BYTE. At first I selfishly felt that I wanted to keep it to myself. But then Web 2.0 is all about social networking and syndication, and you are my readers, so I finally decided that I couldn’t withhold this important information.

Lincoln writes about web 2.0 and especially on the 0 in 2.0. Before I send you away, I cannot help but give you some citations, so you get a feeling for what it’s all about.
He writes about upgrading to version 2.0:

The questions are many. Is there a smooth upgrade, or do you have to uninstall Web 1.0 before installing the new version? What about backward compatibility? Should you wait for the bugs to be out in Web 2.1?

To give you some examples of the bright new world, he reviews some of the more significant new sites. On Oddcast, a site aimed at syndicating podcasts, he writes:

Oddcast is one of many sites that provides links to podcasts from all over the world, but this site distinguishes itself by sticking to one very important and unique criteria: It will not link to anything that might exhibit taste or talent. You need never worry about visiting Oddcast and hearing an intelligent argument with which you might disagree, as you will find no intelligent arguments.

Enough now! Go get the real stuff in “The 0 in 2.0” and prolong your mouth and your life :)

You’ll Love the Banana Phone Monday 2006-02-13

I think you’ll agree that when happiness comes to you, it’s always by chance? You really cannot hunt it down or plan for it. Well, you do, of course, but real joy strikes like a blitz from clear skies, no?
Well this time I wasn’t hunting for happiness, but for clever ways to use my Flickr account.
I found the “Random Photo Browser” at the flagrantdisregard blog, and in minimal font at the very top of the page, I noticed a link that says “The bananaphone will make you smile“.

Happiness stroke!

Would you believe it?
A simple idea, a script, some nerve and access to a web server on the net and you’re done!
It’s the story of a guy who succeeded to sell browser real estate for one greenback a pixel.
The last 1000 pixels sold on eBay for $38 each according to his blog.
