Google Zeitgeist’s 2007 Verdict: “Mozart” Is So 2006.

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 23:43:53 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

The No. 1 fastest growing search term in both the U.S. and globally this year was ‘iphone.” But No.2 globally was London-based social networking site “badoo,” instead of “webkinz” in the U.S. “Badoo” didn’t even make it onto the U.S. list. Other terms that made the top-ten globally but not domestically: “dailymotion,” ebuddy,” “second life,” and “hi5

uncov / Michael Arrington Is Sleazy (arrington, edgeio)

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 23:40:05 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

The top story on TechCrunch right now is that Edgeio is for sale. The bidding starts at $250,000.

Now, I have no problem with these guys trying to get a little bit of their cash back from what was probably a shamefully mismanaged company in the first place, but the defiant conflict of interest here is just amazing. The balls on this guy.

In the Edgeio asset report, they give the username & password for Google analytics on Edgeio.com. I checked it out, and, fun fact 46% of Edgeio.com's traffic is from TechCrunch.com. Edgeio is not a legitimate media property. They were completely propped up by a conflict of interest.

Diigo To Launch WebSlides At TechCrunch40

Posted: 14 09 2007 14:43:10 CEST by Duncan Riley

Tags: Company & Product Profiles [edit]

Research megatool Diigo will officially announce its new WebSlides for RSS feeds and Bookmarks feature at TechCrunch40 next week.

The new widget is an embeddable player that presents feeds or bookmarks as live web pages in an interactive slideshow format, complete with the full content, pages, links, comments, and ads. The widget can be sent to friends and colleagues and also placed on websites, blogs and in social networks. Each slide that is displayed actually registers as a page view for the content owner.

Webslides also allows any Diigo user to annotate each page on the fly with sticky notes to share thoughts or to highlight important sections. Viewers can also bookmark, tag, share, and clip content from the pages in WebSlides for future reference in their own Diigo online folders.

To use WebSlides, users enter a feed or list of bookmarks and add background music or voice narration. By clicking “Play,” the list transforms into a slideshow.

There’s a lot of competition in this space, but having looked at the product I can see why Diigo qualified for the demo pit at TC40. A widget that includes full content including advertising is a good thing for publishers, and it’s the first slide/ widget I’ve seen that does this. Combined with Diigo’s research capabilities it makes for a great product. Video demonstration is below.

TechCrunch » Blog Archive » Who-R-You Connects Email with Photo

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 22:56:59 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Visitors to the site can browse pictures, or type in an email address and see if a picture is associated with it. Users who’ve elected to allow people to contact them can receive messages from other registered users.

German startup Who-R-You is a dead simple social network. It also may turn out to be one of the most straightforward online dating sites (although that it not its stated use).

TechCrunch » Blog Archive » Odeo Releases Twttr

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 22:56:38 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Odeo released a new service today called Twttr, which is a sort of “group send” SMS application. Each person controls their own network of friends. When any of them send a text message to “40404,” all of his or her friends see the message via sms. This launched officially today, and a few select insiders were playing with the service at the Valleyschwag party in San Francisco last night.
