The lastest version of Flock, soon to be released in beta and codenamed "Cardinal," has improved the way RSS feeds are handled. The feed reader in Flock is called My Newspaper, and it is represented by an icon in the icon bar that looks like a newspaper (what else?) and is positioned just to the left of the icon for starring a favorite (which, in Flock's terminology, equates to marking a site as a favorite).
This morning I spent a bit of time evaluating SnagIt, a capture tool for Windows.
Given that most digital cameras give you the ability to capture video clips, most of us can now create a video and frequently we want to share those videos. Unfortunately, the file size of some of these videos is too large to email easily, particularly if some of the recipients of your intended video don't have a broadband connection.
I'm interested in locating any other Flock users here in Knoxville.
It's never too early to think about one's New Year's resolutions, and as I was doing my morning surfing today, I came across the LibriVox Project, which seems like a worthwhile effort. This article on Wired News gives a good overview of the goals and objectives of the project. Not sure yet whether I'll make participating in it a part of my resolutions for the New Year, but it seems like the kind of thing I might enjoy doing.
Almost a year ago now, I began beta testing MixCastLive, an excellent program for creating podcasts that was finally released in July of this year. This morning I note that its author, James Prudente, has now lowered the price of the program to a remarkably affordable $12.00. If you have any interest in ever doing a podcast, I'd recommend that you get a copy and begin playing with it.
Last night as I sat here at the computer, engrossed as I often am in playing Freecell, I got a Skype IM from Tom Simpson, wishing me an early «Happy Birthday,» just so he didn't forget to do so tomorrow, which actually is the day. I mentioned to him that I had heard from James Prudente, the author of Mixcast Live, and that James was having some problems with the company that was hosting the media for his BigFeeder.com site. Those problems weren't insignificant, because the hosting company has gone belly up, but James is working feverishly to make new arrangements. Tom and I were both beta testers for Mixcast Live so he knew James.
