A feature request for anyone doing an RSS aggregator Scripting News -> A feature request for anyone doing an RSS aggregator. Watch for enclosures. When you spot one, make note. If you're running at 2AM (a configurable time) download all the enclosures you've found, and put them in a folder on the local hard disk. Present them to the user when he or she arrives in the morning. This way large media objects, songs and movies, can be transmitted overnight using the network defined by RSS. This idea came from Adam Curry. [Scripting News] 10:06:12 AM  comment []       Blogs: Cameraphone Killer Application Joseph Laszlo -> Blogs: Cameraphone Killer Application?. NewBay Software aims to give carriers an application to justify MMS and cameraphones, and consumers an outlet for user-created content. [Joseph Laszlo] 9:19:53 AM  comment []       Macromedia Extends E-Learning Offerings Macromedia Extends E-Learning Offerings. Macromedia Inc., best known for its Web development tools like ColdFusion, Flash and Dreamweaver, is attempting to increase its share of the e-learning space after announcing the acquisition of privately held Presedia Inc. on Thursday. [Technology News from eWEEK and Ziff Davis] This is compelling technology. If they extend this with a version that authors these presentations in real-time, it could help really put what's left of the physical conference business out of business, unless you're going to the conference explicitly to people-network. As an archival mechanism for reviewing your standard presentation-with-PowerPoint, this technology is the best yet. [Scott Mace's Radio Weblog] Old news to most.  I decided to wait a while to let this one sink in. I'm also waiting to get my hands on an eval copy before I post my comments. My only comment at this time is I hope it is blog community friendly and that it is an affordable authoring tool for webloggers to use and integrate into their public blogs. - HG 8:03:15 AM  comment []     Nokia Mediamaster 230 S     Receive thousands of digital TV and radio channels, enjoy pictures from your imaging phone on the big screen, experience superb picture and sound quality, and enjoy world-class programming from your preferred Pay TV channel package. The Nokia Mediamaster 230 S combines it all! Take a Picture - Send It - Share It Now you can view digital images in a large format perfect for enjoying with family and friends. To view personal pictures on your TV screen, just send them from your imaging phone to the Nokia Mediamaster 230 S, and store everyone's favorites in the Navi™ Bars image folder. Thanks to the Bluetooth technology, you can send JPEG-format images from any imaging phone supporting the Bluetooth 1.1 specification and OBEX user profile. The Mediamaster 230 S works as an image viewer for 36 images (max. 64 kB per image). View the Flash Demo >> Conceptually I like this idea.  This would be a great feature to have built into all TVs and video monitors.  Why stop at pictures?  How about audio, video and new integrated media types built from Flash. Hopefully the interface will be standized so all devices can use it.   All vendors camcorders, audio recorders, digital cameras, PDAs and cell phones.  Brings new meaning to the remote control. - HG 6:08:18 AM  comment []     Media Management Sysem?  Open??? About Photo Zone Now with Club Nokia you can have fun with your photographs online at Photo Zone. Photo Zone lets you store your images online. In addition, you can share the photos by sending email invitations to your family and friends from Club Nokia.     Vendors around the cell phone/integrated camera market are creating media management systems around their brand and product offerings. Are these vendors working together to offer open interfaces to their media management systems?  If not, they are locking their customers content inside their media management systems?- HG 6:07:49 AM  comment []       What do you think? RatcliffeBlog: Business, Technology & Investing -> What do you think? Howard points me to onbusinessnetwork.com, a slate of programming refreshed weekly that Cisco, FeedRoom and others are offering as a 10-week pilot. Take a look. It's built on Flash. The code is buggy. The interface is busy, mostly just to get you to click something. The programming is professionally produced but largely fluff/promotional stuff and comes from Tech TV, MSNBC and Sawyer Media. My critique: An interface like this is a destination and what we know is that distribution--getting content to the edge of the network (for instance, that's where the TVs and radios are)--is the key to success. Then, you have the problem of a slim line-up when people look for new information every day. Scuttlebutt also says Cisco has FeedRoom producing a game show for some reason. I'd like to hear what you think. Why? Well, suffice to say we'll be talking about it soon.
