Adobe Media Player: Understanding the structure of the RSS feed

2008-02-07T14:39:00.000+02:00

by Craig Syverson

Adobe Media Player is a next-generation desktop media player and management application that provides high-quality video playback of streamed, downloaded, or locally stored FLV content. Users can subscribe to television shows and other online video content that they can download automatically in the background and view later — even if they are offline. An elegant user interface makes navigating this seemingly complex world far less daunting and more enjoyable.

Adobe Media Player enables content providers and media publishers to create custom skins for their playback screens, offering deeper branding correlations and the opportunity to monetize through advertising. Publishers can also orchestrate the playback of their content and advertising using publisher playlists — and when they use Adobe Media Player in conjunction with Adobe Flash Media Server 3, they can enjoy greater levels of content delivery, protection, and integrity.

Flickr Users Consider Their Potential Microsoft Overlords

2008-02-06T15:16:00.000+02:00

By David F. Gallagher (New York Times)

The hard-core users of Flickr, the photo-sharing Web site owned by Yahoo, have this to say about a potential Microsoft takeover: “Oh no, not again!”

When Yahoo bought Flickr in 2005, it was one of the most promising of the so-called Web 2.0 start-ups. While online communities are notoriously susceptible to tempests in teapots, the Flickr crowd has always been an especially prickly bunch, lashing out at any whiff of censorship or corporate heavy-handedness. Something as minor as switching longtime Flickr users over to Yahoo’s log-in system prompted protests from people who resisted being sucked into the evil Yahoo machine.

The official public beta launch; ANIMOTO

2007-08-16T23:10:00.000+03:00

ANIMOTO is a web application that automatically generates professionally produced videos, each a customized orchestration of your images and music...

"Alright… so people keep asking us what our inspiration behind Animoto is. Well… there’s a few motivations really.

For one, some of work in the film/tv industry and it’s become pretty obvious that there’s just a big gap between the quality of content you see on the web and the type of stuff your see on tv and in film. At the risk of sounding snobby, so much of the stuff out there on the web feels like a third-grader did it, right? (No offense to all our third-grader fans. Seriously! We still totally love your camcorder work, star-wipe transitions, and floaty heart icons.) So part of the inspiration behind Animoto is to bridge this gap and build something that helps people easily share create content that feels more like something you’d actually see on tv or, say, in a movie trailer..."

Free tool offers 'easy' coding

2007-05-16T00:04:00.000+03:00

A free programming tool that allows anyone to create their own animated stories, video games and interactive artworks has been developed.

Primarily aimed at children, Scratch does not require prior knowledge of complex computer languages.

Instead, it uses a simple graphical interface that allows programs to be assembled like building blocks.

The digital toolkit, developed in the US at MIT's Media Lab, allows people to blend images, sound and video.

"Computer programming has been traditionally seen as something that is beyond most people - it's only for a special group with technical expertise and experience," said Professor Mitchel Resnick, one of the researchers at the Lifelong Kindergarten group at MIT.

"We have developed Scratch as a new type of programming language, which is much more accessible."

Web 2.0 'neglecting good design'

2007-05-15T01:46:00.000+03:00

Hype about Web 2.0 is making web firms neglect the basics of good design, web usability guru Jakob Nielsen has said.

He warned that the rush to make webpages more dynamic often meant users were badly served.

He said sites peppered with personalisation tools were in danger of resembling the "glossy but useless" sites at the height of the dotcom boom.

Research into website use shows that sites were better off getting the basics right, said Mr Nielsen.

Usability Makes the Web Click

2007-05-14T17:04:00.000+03:00

"In an interview, Nielsen offered Fast Company some easy-to-implement ideas for improving Web design."
...from the interview...

What's wrong with Web design?

Too many Web designers substitute a marketing agenda for a focus on what customers want. Users want speed, utility, and credibility - not portals, banners, or even community. And speed is the overriding criterion: Minimalist design rules.

One phrase sums up the dominant mentality of the Web user: "I'm driving." People don't spend lots of time on any one page, because in order to feel that they're accomplishing something, they have to keep moving. The best kind of site shows users what each page is about and then quickly gets them to the next page.

Why don't more sites work that way?

Most developers fail to treat the Web as a new medium with new rules. The dominant metaphor is TV - think "channel," "show," and "eyeballs." But the Web is an interactive, one-to-one medium in which everyone can be a producer or a publisher.

It isn't like newspapers or magazines either. At IBM and at Sun, we studied how people read on the Web. What we discovered is - they don't! They scan. Only 16% of Web users actually read word by word. So, on any given topic, people should write about half as many words for the Web as they would for the printed page.

Business Quotations On Leadership

2007-05-08T00:43:00.000+03:00

"Skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader's success. He can accomplish nothing unless he can communicate effectively."
– Norman Allen

"Leadership is the wise use of power. Power is the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it."
– Warren Bennis

"Six traits of effective leaders: 1. Make others feel important; 2. Promote a vision; 3. Follow the golden rule; 4. Admit mistakes; 5. Criticize others only in private; 6. Stay close to the action. Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire."
– Christian Nevell Bovee

"Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."
– Dwight D. Eisenhower

"A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done."
– Ralph Lauren

"The best leaders are those most interested in surrounding themselves with assistants and associates smarter than they are. They are frank in admitting this and are willing to pay for such talents."
– Amos Parrish

"Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader."
- Publius Cornelius Tacitus

Silverlight Poll Results: Majority Impressed, But Not a Flash Killer Yet

2007-05-07T10:33:00.000+03:00

"Last week's Read/WriteWeb poll asked what you thought of Silverlight, Microsoft's newly improved rich internet app plug-in that was launched to (unusually) rave blog reviews at MIX on Monday. Some people even said that Silverlight leaves Adobe's Flash technology in the dust, which is a big claim to make given that Flash is still extremely popular with designers - and for users it's a slick rich media browser plug-in. Also the days of usablity 'gurus' complaining about Flash splash pages is mostly gone. Nowadays Flash is used to create compelling multimedia browser experiences. So to my mind, Flash still reigns supreme - until such time as we see similar ubiquity and/or outstanding browser experiences from Silverlight."...

ONLINE NEWSPAPER AUDIENCE SETS RECORDS IN FIRST QUARTER

2007-05-05T18:24:00.000+03:00

Unique Audience, Page Views and Time Spent Jump in First Quarter

Arlington , Va. – More than 59 million people (37.6 percent of all active Internet users) visited newspaper Web sites on average during the first quarter of 2007, a record number that represents a 5.3 percent increase over the same period a year ago, according to custom analysis provided by Nielsen//NetRatings for the Newspaper Association of America. In addition, newspaper Web site visitors generated nearly three billion page views per month throughout the quarter, compared to just under 2.7 billion during the same period last year. The first quarter figures are the highest for any quarter since NAA began tracking these numbers in 2004.
“These record-setting numbers underscore newspapers’ success in capturing online audiences and the importance of newspaper Web sites to the growing newspaper footprint,” said NAA President and CEO John F. Sturm. “Newspaper Web sites continue to grow audience and contribute to newspapers’ broadening revenue streams. In addition, the sites attract a younger, more affluent audience coveted by advertisers while providing a valuable service to readers seeking immediate information from a trusted local source.”
