YouTube on Windows Media Center



Windows Media Center for Vista is a good entertainment portal where you can watch videos, browse through photos, listen to music or do whatever you want but it fails to provide users the flexibility to watch videos from popular services like YouTube, DivX Stage 6, DailyMotion etc.


Yougle is a free plugin for Windows Media Center which allows Vista users to enjoy watching videos from their favorite services from right within Windows Media Center. The video services currently supported are YouTube, MSN Soapbox, Google Video, DivX Stage 6, DailyMotion, Shoutcast but using the Yougle Vista SDK users can even add their own sources.

The URL Is Dead, Long Live Search





Last week I was watching TV and saw something that really caught my eye. It was a commercial for Special K, the breakfast cereal from Kellogg, and rather than end with a plug for the product's web site -- SpecialK.com -- it advised people to search Yahoo! for "Special K" instead. I started to wonder two things: 1. is Yahoo! paying Special K for tack-on advertising? and 2. has searching really become so natural that it is more effective to tell people to search for your site than it is to tell them to visit directly?
To the latter question, the answer appears to be a somewhat surprising "yes." Of the 10 fastest rising search terms on Google last year, 7 were for searches where adding a ".com" would have brought the user to the correct site. These are called "navigational" searches -- searches done when the user already knows exactly where he or she wants to end up -- and they make up a surprising large number of total seaches.

Más rápido, más seguro, gráficamente más atractivo y más fácil de usar. La nueva versión del navegador Mozilla, Firefox 3, está en la recta final para su lanzamiento definitivo, previsto para el próximo mes de junio.

Microsoft Launches Worldwide Telescope

Microsoft has been trying to compete with Google for long but Google products and services have always won user trust because they are free and simple to use. However in the case of Microsoft’s Worldwide Telescope the scenario may change indefinitely.
Microsoft Worldwide Telescope is an application similar to Google Earth/Sky that will allow users to take virtual trips of galaxies, stars and space or more clearly it can be said that Microsoft Worldwide Telescope is a Web 2.0 visualization software environment that enables your computer to function as a virtual telescope—bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world for a seamless exploration of the universe.
WorldWide Telescope is created with the Microsoft high performance Visual Experience Engine and allows seamless panning and zooming around the night sky, planets, and image environments. All the images are downloaded from Microsoft servers so you don’t need to worry about storing terabytes of high-resolution images on your PC.

Who's Watching Your Videos? YouTube Now Offers Free Demographics

Google announced this morning that YouTube's new Insight video viewer analytics now includes free demographic stats on any video's viewers. YouTube users who have included gender in their user profiles can be anonymously reported and providing your age is a requirement to open an account with YouTube.
It's interesting to know that my latest video about late night escapades was viewed primarily by men ages 30 to 50. In a few minutes I will embed in this post a video of myself eating a live baby chicken and will report back on viewer demographics when they become available. You can view the demographics on your videos by clicking the "insight" button next to each video on your account view.
Geographic location is also reported as part of the Insight package. Statistics can be limited to any time frame and are viewable side by side with metrics on a video's relative popularity and leading sources of off-site inbound traffic. It's a great little metrics package.

me parece muy útil si alguien necesita que cierta cantidad de personas mire su video o simplemente por interés común.

Spellr.us Launches: Check Your Site For Spelling Erors

Last month we ran a brief post introducing Spellr.us, a service that monitors websites for spelling errors. Little was known about the site at the time - all we had to go by was a teaser splash page. The site has finally entered a private beta, and it shows a lot of potential. For those looking to try it out for themselves, you can grab one of 150 invites here.
Spellr.us monitors webpages by running site-wide spell checks at regular intervals. Results are presented as snapshots of pages, with errors highlighted in bright boxes (a mouse-over displays suggested corrections). Members can also choose to have errors sent to them in RSS feeds - a feature that will be especially handy for large sites that make frequent posts. Besides the visual snapshots, Spellr.us can list misspelled words according to their frequency across the site. This means that words like TechCrunch or Flickr, which are commonly used but aren’t in the dictionary (yet), can be quickly found and added to a custom dictionary.

HTC Touch Diamond Features and Specifications

HTC fans have finally got another touch-gadget to drool over and its none other than the HTC Touch Diamond which was recently announced by HTC at the May 6 HTC Event held in London. HTC Touch Diamond brings the prism-like look on the back that we have already seem in Nokia Prism and Sony Xperia.
HTC Touch features the latest HTC Touch 3D interface (codenamed HTC Manila). It is the first ever phone which is fully controllable through touch gestures even though it runs on Windows Mobile which is not considered a very touch-friendly OS.

MySpace Partners with Yahoo, Twitter, eBay on Data "Availability"

In a surprise move just unveiled this morning, a handful of big players led by MySpace and Yahoo! have announced that public profiles, photos, videos and friend networks will now be portable from one site to another. We're immediately wondering why this was a partnership between a handful of big sites instead of a move to truly open to the web in general.
According to a first report on TechCrunch, the initiative will begin with user information from MySpace being made available to Yahoo, Twitter and eBay in the next few weeks. MySpace is reported to have said that they will seek ways for "mom and pop sites" to participate as well in the future.

Tristan Nitot,Presidente de Mozilla Europa: "Firefox llegó para salvar la web"...


Internet Explorer baja del 80% del total de uso de navegadores, y esto no ocurría desde el 2000, el culpable de ello, el navegador open source: Firefox, cuyo porcentaje de uso en Europa roza ya el 30%.
Sin duda Firefox es uno de los casos mas emblemáticos del open source, junto con la Wikipedia y Ubuntu.

Adobe to Publish Flash File Format Specs




Adobe is today announcing the "Open Screen Project" which will seek to create a consistent runtime environment for rich media across a myriad of devices. In other words, Flash on the web, mobile, desktop, television, and other consumer electronic devices.
The Open Screen Project "will remove barriers for developers and designers as they publish content and applications across desktops and devices, including phones, mobile Internet devices, and set top boxes," said Adobe in a press release.
Since releasing the PDF file format in 1993, it has become an open standard for documents and recently took a major step toward becoming the ISO 32000 Standard. Facing increasing pressure from Microsoft's competing Silverlight technology, it seems Adobe is gunning for Flash to become the standard format for delivering rich media to the web and other devices.
