Strutta launches online games with user videos–and I have an exclusive game for you!

Vancouver-based Strutta has finally launched to the world after being a hot presenter recently in Vancouver.  Strutta was on a lot of people’s lips at SXSW and I begged for an invite (yes, begged).  Jordan Behan emailed me last week with a heads up that they were launching today.
Other folks got in first with their […]

Congrats to PicScout and PicApp–yeah we know they’re cool for finding great images

At b5media we’ve been testing the PicApp service for months.  We know that having great images in posts is critical, especially for our Celebrity and Entertainment blogs.  More importantly, though, is having legal images for these posts.  Getting legal images of celebs, etc at a reasonable price is a difficult undertaking.  Then there is the […]

What are you doing? The question that Twitter answers, but it’s more than that

Lee and Sachi posted another of their great “x in plain English” videos and today it’s Twitter–Video: Twitter in Plain English | Common Craft - Explanations In Plain English.

Since Lee and Sachi work really hard at keeping things simple, they missed what I like most about Twitter: fast information and connections.
Like this morning … I […]

Overlay.tv lets you add to videos and earn a little cash too

Ottawa-based overlay.tv launched today with something that I think is pretty interesting and unique–letting users annotate and add to videos.
The idea is pretty simple (after you create an account) you find a video like on YouTube and put the URL into Overlay and then you, well, overlay stuff onto it.

Congrats to Kris Krug! He’s in NatGeo baby!

You know that I am a huge fan of Kris Krug’s work.  I don’t think he’s taken a bad pic of me yet.  As I was skimming my feeds I saw this little baby:
