Imagine consists of a Flash-driven framework of content, starting with a 2-minute short entitled The Affair. In the video, a couple’s awkward encounter is made more awkward by the fact that there are four available angles to watch their conversation from — and spinning around the “story cube” to shift angles reveals just how much is actually going on.

Rather than the traditional bid site approach, where a prospective client posts a project and looks for the lowest bid, Jobpic allows service providers to post an offer and let prospective clients bid on it. You effectively auction off your time, hopefully getting the highest possible rate for your work. Officially, the site can be used for selling any type of service — there are a few dog walkers and house sitters looking for work through the site. However, it does have categories for listing both “creative services” and “writing and editing,” as well as other categories that may interest web workera.

But AOL is not alone in its online journalism initiatives. In fact, a number of former AOL executives are pursuing similar pursuits. In the last year or so, three ex-AOLers, including former vice chairman Ted Leonsis, have launched new sites devoted to online distribution of original non-fiction content.

AOL announced Friday that its sprawling ad unit -- encompassing premium ad sales on its owned-and-operated properties, its Advertising.com third-party ad network and its ADTECH ad-serving operations -- will be renamed AOL Advertising come September. "In talking to advertisers, marketers and agencies, we heard time and again that the AOL brand matters greatly in this space," said AOL's President of Global Advertising and Strategy, Jeff Levick.

The new feature lets patients upload scanned paper documents into your Google Health account. Google particularly suggests that you upload an “advance directive,” which determines your end-of-life wishes so that your family and doctor can honor them if you get sick and are unable to communicate. Google Health is actually working with a advance directive provider, Caring Connections, to provide a free, downloadable form customized for all 50 states. In order to complete the form, you need to download it, print it out, complete it, scan it, and upload it back to Google Health.

No, it’s not ready yet. But it does at least look like the Mac release of Chrome is getting ready for prime time.

Now, let me be clear: I am not testing out that rather bogus “Developer Release” of Chrome that Google announced to placate users last month, I’m testing out the daily builds of Chromium, which you can find for the Mac here. How different are they? Well, in look in and feel, a lot.

SoundExchange also agreed to cut the per-song royalties by about 50% for non-subscription webcasters in the new deal. But the more significant step forward is its willingness to accept a percentage of revenue even from popular webcasters, albeit a higher one than it collects from satellite radio services. (That's another thing webcasters find galling: how much more they pay, in percentage terms, than their competitors. On the other hand, their business models and costs are quite different.) Such arrangements aligns the interests of webcasters, labels and performers far better than per-song royalties do. But it's worth remembering that SoundExchange characterized the new deal as "experimental," signifying its hesitation to commit to a percentage-of-revenue model. Considering how well such an arrangement has worked for music publishers and conventional radio stations, I'm betting labels and performers will grow comfortable with it as well.

Mayer acknowledges as much while hymning the virtues of the idea: "We think the real-time search is incredibly important and the real-time data that's coming online can be super-useful in terms of us finding out something like, you know, is this conference today any good? Is it warmer in San Francisco than it is in Silicon Valley? You can actually look at tweets and see those sorts of patterns, so there's a lot of useful information about real time and your actions that we think ultimately will reinvent search."

Spot it? "Tweets". It's the only time in the conversation, and the half-hour talk Mayer later gives to an audience of entrepreneurs, where she mentions by name any rival product or brand. (General Motors and General Mills are illustrative, though she does mention Apple and the iPhone – though you'd hardly call it a rival.) She never says Microsoft or Bing or Internet Explorer when asked about the rival's search or about browsing. Tweets implies Twitter, the company Google is often expected to be sniffing around to replace its missed chance with Jaiku.

Ever since its redesign a few months ago, FriendFeed has been one of the standard-bearers of the real-time web. That’s because while a lot of sites claim to be real-time, FriendFeed is one of the few that actually updates continuously as data comes in. Starting today, any search you do will also get that same real-time treatment.
