The Story Behind the Ning Name We get asked a lot why we called the company Ning. Ning means peace in Chinese. When we heard this, we were pretty darn excited. However, it was after we'd already decided it was the exact right perfect name for us. Ning was short, sweet, and wouldn't take away from the main focus of our service: your social networks. As I've mentioned before, our service is about you, not us. You can always use your own domain name for your social network on Ning, but even for our free service we wanted you to have domain names that were easy to remember and emphasized what was unique about your network. Naming is actually one of the harder jobs for a new company. There's a fair amount of detective work, research, and luck involved. Plus, everyone inside and outside your team has an opinion which makes the job a bit harder to navigate. We didn't use a naming firm and made our ability to get the domain name our top priority upfront. 99% of the time with naming firms there's a lot of time and effort - and, worst of all, money - that goes into that process and the end result isn't helpful because it turns out you can't buy the domain name for the names they recommend. Especially for a scrappy start-up, it's better to funnel the money you might spend on a naming firm into your budget for a domain name and the lawyers who can tell you if you can trademark it. So, that's our story. What's yours? How did you come up with the name for your network or company?

Dallas Mavericks Use Ning to Start Social Network for Fans The ever Web-savvy Dallas Mavericks &#8212; owner Mark Cuban has a blog &#8212; have Friends.Mavs.com, a social network for Mavericks fans. They&#8217;re calling it &#8220;the first professional sports social network and video hosting site.&#8221; Evidently, they&#8217;ve never heard of NHL Connect, the social networking site the NHL launched last year to connect hockey fans. So far, the site only appears to have just over 1,000 members. (I calculated this with a quick glance at the list members page. There were twenty members to a page and 52 pages. 20*52=1,040.) It&#8217;s built with Ning, which has some open source features but retains the right to feature its own advertising. I think the Mavs are cool to be so low-key about this and go with an existing service rather than building a Wal-Mart style command and control social network. But I&#8217;m not sure the value add is really there for them. Ning doesn&#8217;t even allow those who build networks with their software to access their users&#8217; e-mail addresses, although it does allow them to message all the users within the system. As with any blogging or social networking platform, the user&#8217;s needs take precedence. Ning works very well for a company whose end goal is to facilitate community for community&#8217;s sake. But forget about analyzing the behavior of that community in any kind of detail. On the upside, they seem extremely committed to helping social network builders develop an attractive product for the end user. I like their Ning tricks feature on the blog, which features tips and tricks for getting the most out of your social network. They allow backup and export of the network&#8217;s underlying data, so companies could conceivably move to a network of their own making at a later date. They also earn points for rapid scalability. Only time will tell whether the Mavs were smart to choose Ning for their platform. But I think it&#8217;s wonderful that they&#8217;re getting into the game. Como ter uma boa reputação na web I fear you’re underestimate my geekiness sir. Dapper: Content Integration For Everyone It's not often that we get to see disruptive technologies emerge. The new Dapper service (from Dappit) is firmly in that category. Billed as a mashup tool, it allows you to grab content simply from static or dynamic web pages and integrate it in a mind-boggling range of ways. Services like this will further breakdown the distinction between content providers and consumers and force an overhaul of existing customs and business models around web content.What Does Dapper Do?Similar to Ning, it's a managed service to let people create and host their own applications, or clone and edit others'. At its heart, the service is an online web scraper; it lets you extract content and shunt it around. You nominate elements on the target page you'd like, and it will go and fetch them for you. In principle, all you ever needed to do this was the good old Unix utilities wget and grep (this is how FreshTags started, in the days before JSON). Oh, but you'll also need a net-connected, secure machine. And the ability to write hairy regular expressions. Plus a lot of patience. And if you were thinking of actually doing anything with the results, then you'd need something like a PHP server and working knowledge of Perl, with various libraries for handling outputs and transformations. Not to mention a managed website to publish it all through. Yeah, it's sounding like one big headache, isn't it?With Dapper, you simply create a "Dapplication". It's a very straight-forward, step-by-step process, with the requisite Web 2.0 flavour. You submit some examples of your target page and use a simple "point and click" interface to nominate the elements you wish to extract. These elements could be tabular data, links, text and so on. The Dapper system guesses (and is, in turn, corrected by you) to figure out the underlying structure of the page. You assign some names to these fields and (optionally) group them. That's it - your Dapp is done.A really neat feature of the system is the way you can specify inputs for the target page (you rarely want to scrape exactly the same page each time). If your target page uses URL parameters, you can instruct Dapper to pass those in for you using curly brackets eghttp://somewhere.com/action?display=printer&mo={month}&da={day}&range=allusersThis will cause Dapper to prompt users for month and day variables. Or, you can nominate the existing input fields on the target page for data insertion in the same way. It's really very simple and intuitive.Once it's up and running, there is a truly dizzying array of options for getting the data out: the usual vegetable soup of web standards (XML, HTML, JSON, YAML, RSS), plus some novel ones (email, image loop, Google Gadget and an alert mechanism). What's more, Dapper's not shy about accepting requests. The service was lacking callbacks for the JSON feed, which make it easy for lightweights like me to play with the data. I emailed the developer, Jon Aizen, and within a couple of hours it was done! Thanks, Jon!Case StudyTo test out the service, I built a Dapp in a few minutes to extract tabular data from a particular website (I'm currently negotiating an informal content and link-sharing agreement with a website related to Speccy, so I'm afraid I'll have to keep a bit vague). One of the roadblocks on negotiation is that some data I want from the other site is locked up in their SQL database, only served up as an HTML table by PHP. It would be very difficult for me to get at this. With Dapper, I was able to nominate the fields and extract the data I wanted, lowering the hassle involved and improving the chances of concluding a mutually-beneficial deal.Dapper has two mechanisms to let you fine-tune your content selection: a slider that selects how "restrictive" it is in guessing what you're after, and a container that limits the grab to certain elements. Unfortunately, in my case, it wasn't too successful with either and I was getting unwanted extra content. I tried some other pages and both mechanisms worked as advertised; I must have been dealing with a pathological site. In the end, I opted to "over extend", grabbing more content than required, and knocked together some regular expressions to parse out the bits I wanted. It works beautifully: I can enter the parameters and Dapper builds the appropriate URL (with parameters inserted into the query string), fetches the pages, strips out the data I want (plus a bit more) and hands it back to me a JSON object - with a callback function!With a bit of confidence and some practice, I'm sure that anyone can extract content from a page of interest and display it on their own page (perhaps as an iframe element or an image loop, for simplicity). Blogger Beta's new RSS display widget really open things up. This, I believe, is the disruptive element of the technology.Implications For The WebMany of us involved in blog hacking are comfortable with content being passed around like this; we provide RSS and Atom versions of our content (plus social bookmarking of titles and summaries) and actively encourage others to pick it up. We also have an informal code for link sharing ("link love") that defines norms and governs behaviour. Dapper knocks all that on its head, and provides new challenges for content production and consumption.For starters, web feeds are a push technology; publishers elect to syndicate their content in this way. By contrast, Dapper is a pull approach, whereby others suck content out of your site without your permission or knowledge.Despite what the odd (and I mean weird) lawyer might believe, no one can control who you link to on the web. But extracting slabs of content ... that's different. Clearly, new customs and practices - not laws - will have to emerge to deal with this. (I believe existing intellectual "property" laws are simply not up to it, being too clumsy and blunt.) Dapper has gone some way to facilitate this, with its "empowering content providers" (ie site-based access restriction) form. Hopefully, more content providers will see the benefits of their users figuring out new and powerful uses of their content rather than just blocking requests from the dappit.com domain.(For what it's worth, in my case, I'm not using the tech as an excuse to barge in and pillage the target site. Instead, I see it as a means for lowering the barriers to exchange and thus (hopefully) allowing a fruitful partnership to develop where it might not have been possible before.)Of course, content-sharing issues don't arise if you scrape your own stuff. You could create Dapps to parse out interesting bits and pieces from your blog and offer them as emails, alerts, feeds, looped images and the like. Nearly all blogs - and wikis for that matter - employ templating of some kind. This means that you can be more-or-less guaranteed that the Dapper will have a good shot at easily parsing the underlying structure. Headings, profiles, post titles, dates, leading paragraphs, links, quotes, tags, authors, comments, timestamps ... all that static content (ie not generated by JavaScript) is ripe for extraction and syndication.Another suggestion is to look for stuff with RSS or Atom feeds. Chances are, if the publisher is happy pushing out content in this way, they'll also be cool with you grabbing it with a Dapp. Ditto for content released under (some) Creative Commons licences. And, hey, you can always ask: I'd love to know if someone's built a Dapp to do something novel with my content! I'm sure that proper attribution, link back, notification and being respectful of server/bandwidth load will all be part of the basis of an emerging Dapper netiquette.If this post has piqued your interest, please go ahead and check out the growing list of Dapps already available, read the Dapper blog or just dive right in and create your own Dapp. I'm sure that within five minutes you'll grok the disruptive nature of this service and get a glimpse of the jaw-dropping possibilities.Filed in: dapper, web2.0, feeds, webtech, syndication OpenSocial: Impediment or Catalyst?

Innovation junkies, take note: the Internet has a lot to offer. From invoicing to marketing, ... Thoughts on FriendFeed and lifestreaming Ning: Elegant Group-Based Social Networking Ning, the Marc Andreessen-funded startup has recently re-emerged on my radar. In its previous life, Ning was a social application provider of sorts, doomed by complexity and lack of a market. Ning has relaunched itself with a new business orientation - they now let you "create your own social network" - and as cliche as that sounds and I have to say I'm quite impressed. First things first, though, let's clarify a few things about Ning. We've long thought of social networking as being people-centric. That is, we build our networks around other people or social spaces. In the case of Myspace, we built our networks around our friends; with Facebook, we build our networks around friends and the inhabited social spaces of school or work, for example. However, these are but two of the many contexts in which we situate social interaction. As the makers of niche-oriented social networks rightfully point out, there are plenty of other social contexts, so why not build a SNS for everyone? Of course, the problem with niche-oriented SNS is that the value gets spread too thin. Join different bike-to-work and blogger and organic coffee drinker social networks? I think not. So what's the answer to the "spread too thin" problem? Ning solves this problem by flipping the social context of the SNS on its side. To explain this, we're first got to parse some marketing jargon. Ning promises individuals the ability to set up their own social networks. However, these social networks are not virtual islands - one Ning account can join any of the SNS (assuming they are approved) on the service. So when you join a Ning social network, you are really joining Ning, the global social network. However, rather than making interaction purely friend-driven, Ning makes interaction "social network" driven. That is, you join social networks as a method of interaction in the service. Of course, these "social networks" look a lot like groups - and that's exactly what they are. Now that we've pulled back the curtains and exposed the wizard, does the strategy of making a SNS be group-driven hold up? If I were betting, I'd bet yes. Groups, and group context is important for creating identity and driving interaction. The groups you belong to define you - be they the Kiwanis Club or the Ning American Idol Fan social network. By making social networks group driven, Ning adds a new, interesting motivator for participation (of course, this model isn't completely new - Tribe.net has been thinking along these lines though not as flexibly). Properly played, Ning could become an important player in the niche-oriented SNS space. They aren't going to replace Myspace or Facebook, but they may start carving some clients away from the two. Ning also represents the evolution of Forum 2.0 - Ning social networks could clearly emerge as the ubiquitous forums of the future. Companies such as Blogger, Yahoo Groups and Craigslist should be paying close attention (mostly the first two in that list) to Ning's movements. In terms of Ning's identity strategy, they've opted for the walled-garden identity model. This is unfortunate, as making yourself walled-garden-only creates barriers to participation that are senseless in the Web 2.0 context. Hopefully someone will start whispering in Ning's ear about technologies like OpenID, as they are a perfect candidate for being a consumer of OpenID's. I will say this, however, the year of work Ning has put into the relaunch of this product clearly shows. They have created a beautiful, blissfully simple interface (they should keep making it simpler, however) that I think is actually average-people friendly. There are still a lot of steps to walk through to create my own social network, but I must say I'm impressed with their good work. Ning also needs to work a little harder on privacy functions in the site, and they are non-obvious and the crossing of group context is something that users will wish to have control over. Ultimately, Ning's value proposition hangs on the quality of its groups. Sure, there are lots of groups (erm, social networks) being created, but what value do they provide individuals? Just like successful fora and bulletin boards of the past, Ning's groups need to provide value to those who join. Barriers to reading and writing must be dropped to the absolute minimum if Ning hopes to start driving good content into their groups. The content of the groups is the key to the service's value. I'm positive about Ning and their model. They've got work to do, but they are striking out in an intriguing direction that may prove fruitful.

Undskyld. For nogen tid siden fik jeg sammen med Oschlag flikket en lile streetart gmaps mashup applikation sammen pÃ¥ Ning. Vi kaldte det street meat - meat for the street eaters. Men sÃ¥ strandede den der. Trods det superfede navn. Jeg sagde tidligere:Jeg er voldsomt fascineret af potentialet og det rammer ret godt en af mine ideer om at det ikke kun skal være programmører, der laver applikationer. Programmører (og det er bl.a. sÃ¥dan nogle som mig) har generelt et alt for fattigt og indsnævret idé-potentiale, og med en tilgang som Ning kan alle og enhver sætte en lille social webapplikation op med klokker og fløjter.Og jeg mÃ¥ tilstÃ¥ at billedet nu ser lidt anderledes ud, og der er ikke kommet nye billeder ind i mÃ¥neder. Der er 2 primære Ã¥rsager: Flickr Flickr har fÃ¥et tilføjet yahoo maps integration og gør det pÃ¥ en superfed mÃ¥de. SÃ¥ hvorfor ikke bare gøre det der, hvor folk alligevel smider billeder ind? Ning Ning er godt til at fÃ¥ ting i luften hurtigt, men hvis man gerne vil lidt mere, som Ning-folkene ikke allerede har lavet, sÃ¥ skal man igang med at skræddersy. Og det involverer at sætte sig ind i Nings ret lidt mystiske php data api'er, og framework-design. Ting der ikke just er rasende veldokumenterede, med den konsekvens at jeg blev sÃ¥ træt sÃ¥ træt inden det billedholdige rss-feed blev til noget. Deres dokumentation er dog sidenhen blevet noget bedre, kan jeg se. I virkeligheden er det ikke overraskende. Det er blot sidste skud pÃ¥ stammen af illusionen om standardsystemet, der kan alt. Det generaliserede standardsystem kan primært bruges til generelle ting. SÃ¥ snart man vil afvige fra det normale, sÃ¥ skal man alligevel til at have handskerne pÃ¥. Og jeg smider handsken i ringen. Øh. HÃ¥ndklædet. SÃ¥ der bliver ikke kodet mere pÃ¥ dimsen. Sorry, men jeg har større fisk at stege. Tag en kopi af dyret og tag over, hvis du vil. (Jeg ved ikke om man kan overdrage applikationer til andre, men sig til, hvis du vil overtage den, sÃ¥ kigger vi pÃ¥ det.)

Ok!  First! Understand that these comments come from someone, who probably just doesn&#8217;t get it yet.  There has been a flurry over the past couple of weeks to set up social networks for education 2.0 issues, using a social networking tool called Ning (a great name, by the way, as long as you don&#8217;t have a cold).  I&#8217;ve joined Library 2.0, School 2.0, and Classroom 2.0, and have accepted lots of requests to be people&#8217;s friends (well, at least four). I must confess that I am a little under-impressed.  I have a personal page, just like my daughter&#8217;s Facebook page.  I have an unflattering picture of me there, a place to put a blog, a profile (which I&#8217;ve scaled way back), a picture of Steve Hargadon (best part of the page), and something called a Chatter. The Chatter intrigues me, but it appears to be only for people who visit my page, and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve visited the pages of any other users.  I guess I&#8217;m a real digital recluse.  There is a forum, with some great conversations, but it&#8217;s a forum.  Nothing new there.  Now let me repeat.  I accept that I may simply be overlooking something here that&#8217;s hitting me over the head, but I&#8217;m to dull to know it.  So please explain.  I&#8217;m wondering if this sort of social network &#8220;place&#8221; is really more for kids.  Children need a clubhouse, a place where they can be themselves, pretend to be somebody else, make up their own rules, and dream of other places and times.  But clubhouses have walls, as does Ning!  It seems to be a container and less in the spirit of small pieces loosely joined (reference book by David Weinberger). I don&#8217;t need someplace else to go to on the Internet.  I need it to come to me, to my aggregator, or my mail box.  I need it to be organic, infinitely shapable, and to be a valuable conversation. So what am I not getting here? Got to go, Vicki Davis wants to be my friend 2¢ Worth! I just learned that Ning will be adding a Wiki tool in June!

Technorati Tags: warlick education technology socialnetworks ning school20 library20 classroom20 Now this Impressed Me Martin Traverso, a Ning user and member of the Network Creators social network, generated this video visualization of Ning in action.  This is what computer science is about, making visible, that which is normally invisible. Ning Visualization Here are Martin&#8217;s comments from the &#8220;chatter&#8221; on the video&#8217;s page. Ning Visualization - Ning Network Creators: When a user navigate between sites, a line show up and fades after a while. If another user navigates between the same two sites, the line will get an extra shot of &#8220;energy&#8221; creating the illusion of being persistent. For the more technically inclined, the visualization was created with a Java program that listens to our visit tracking system in realtime. Networks are rendered using a repulsion model &#8212; i.e., they try to move away from each other. Visitors moving between networks create temporary attraction forces between those networks. As a result, related networks tend to cluster together over time. Visitors (dots) fly towards the center of the bubble for the network they&#8217;re currently visiting. Their actual path is randomized a bit to create the swarm-like effect. This is too cool for school! Starting to Get It? There&#8217;s a conversation going on at Classroom 2.0, that was started by nlowell and picked up on by several other Ning members.  Cary Harrod&#8217;s comments got me to thinking more about social networks., I am fairly new to the world of web 2.0 and I&#8217;m still trying to wrap my brain around the whole idea of transparency. I still haven&#8217;t figured out how I could possibly contribute anything new to the conversations taking place right now, particularly in the company of such people as Will Richardson, Terry Friedman, David Jakes and yes, nlowell. What WILL encourage me to enter the web 2.0 conversations are people like Steve, Barbara and Alja who obviously understand the complexities of adult learning. I&#8217;ve written about &#8220;not getting&#8220; this SN thing. But reading your ideas made me realize that what I do is entirely about social networks. I&#8217;m coming to suspect, however, that there are many kinds of networks, and that they are, in a sense, part of one network, tied together (attracted to each other) through the conductivity of conversations and the  gravitational pull of logic. I looked for a pictures of planets in the Creative Commons sections of Flickr, but found this one by Ollie Deakin &#8212; even better! Attention is one of those words that is talked about a lot in conversations about Web 2.0 &#8212; the BIG deuce. In a sense it is a commodity. To get things done, we need other people, and to get them interested, we need their attention. One thing that&#8217;s concerned me is that as we talk about limitless bandwidth, limitless channels on the TV, limitless this and that in the world of information, what is not limitless is attention. There are only so many people and so many hours in the day. And each of us are only willing to give up so much of our day&#8217;s attention to others&#8217; ideas. I think that the reason that I don&#8217;t get things like Ning is that I started blogging in a time when there was an abundance of attention out there, looking for something to pay attention to, and they would latch on to almost anything. As more people started becoming interested in blogs, and there were only a handful of educator bloggers out there, they came to Will Richardson, Terry Freedman, David Jakes, and some even came to read my blog. It was like physics &#8212; attention gathering around Will&#8217;s voice built up mass, and the more mass gathering around a particular voice the greater the gravitational pull &#8212; and the more attention that was attracted to it. There isn&#8217;t so much attention left, so newer bloggers have more difficulty attracting attention and building up mass. This may be where social networking services like Ning come to play. Within this Classroom 2.0 network, there can be a concentration of attention, such that what a newer blogger (participant/contributor in the conversational web) has to say can be heard and can spark conversation. The network builds up mass where it has become more difficult for individuals. Will doesn&#8217;t need a Ning, because he is huge. He is a planet Jupiter. I have a goodly amount of mass, though I&#8217;m a mercury, or perhaps more appropriately, one of the moons of Saturn (I love that planet). Yet Will, and Jakes, and Freedman are also a part of Ning, because their ideas can be latched to from Ning, and spread, and Will can aggregate the conversations that spring up here and talk about them. So I suspect that Steve Hargadon got it all along.  It is a place for beginners, but for reasons far more esoteric and potent than just having an easier tool.  It&#8217;s a place of more concentrated attention and more potency of ideas. Or I could be entirely off my rocker! Image Citation: Deakin, Ollie. &#8220;Planet.&#8221; Odeaks&#8217; Photostream. 3 Jan 2007. 7 Apr 2007 .

This is a question that we have been pondering over the past year. Since the beginning of Elgg the goal has always been to create a distributed collection of networks that are loosely joined, if appropriate, where users can create one identity (or use an existing identity) and participate in multiple networks - built on open standards. Further to that - it is not about locking users into one system but rather giving them choices. The choice of which services to use, where to store their data, how their environment looks. One problem with sites like MySpace is the shear size - while I realise this is also its main asset, it makes the site and others like it, useless for those wanting to create something specific. We hoped last year would see more niche/focused networks springing up but unfortunately I am not sure this will ever happen. We have always argued that you do not need millions of users to make a social network work, a collection of users with a real reason to be there can create a vibrant, worthwhile network. Connect together these networks and you effectively create a global network of sites, each focusing on the needs of specific groups while still connecting to other networks, creating a greater whole. We have much of this in place now but I am beginning to wonder if this approach, while sound in principle, will actually work out? The problem is to do with the current climate, it is all about eyeballs, driven primarily by click ad revenue. This means many potential uses will not see the light of day, or last very long without ad revenue - which will not happen without large numbers. At the recent Silicon valley comes to Oxford event - my business partner Ben asked the Linkedin founder, Reid Hoffman, if he saw a future in more niche sites and his response was straight to the point - no. I hope this is wrong - the Internet was never meant to be dominated by 4 or 5 uber sites that are all encompassing, but should be about users being able to tailor the available tools to meet their own needs. Others are looking at this space - yesterday Marc Canter stated that he is the leading thinker on this, but in reality, others have been thinking about and building solutions to this end for many years. Services like Elgg Spaces, Ning and Canter&#39;s own PeopleAggregator are looking to provide such facilities. Should be interesting to see what develops.  They have and do, we have too, but do not.

Makkelijker mash-uppen met Yahoo Pipes Er is ontzettend veel aandacht vandaag voor een nieuwe dienst van Yahoo, genaamd Yahoo Pipes. De dienst wordt door velen gezien als baanbrekend op het gebied van het vergemakkelijken van het maken van mash-ups, het combineren bestaande webdiensten (zoals bijvoorbeeld RSS feeds en Google maps) tot een nieuwe webdienst. Het grote pluspunt van de dienst is de makkelijke interface, waarin je alleen maar items hoeft te slepen en te verbinden. In het screenshot hierboven heb ik bijvoorbeeld een nieuwe feed gemaakt van de bestaande BlueAce feed, maar dan met alleen de berichten die gaan over YouTube. Onderin het screenshot zie je dat het resultaat van deze &#8220;pipe&#8221; een nieuwe gefilterde RSS feed is met daarin twee berichten over YouTube. Bovenstaande pipe is misschien een heel erg basic voorbeeld, maar het toont wel aan dat je geen programmeur hoeft te zijn om gebruik te maken van Yahoo Pipes. Ook is het heel makkelijk om een bestaande pipe te kopiëren en zelf aan te passen, wat het voor andere mensen weer makkelijker maakt om net hun eigen twist aan een pipe toe te voegen. Hetzelfde principe is een beetje te vinden bij Ning, waar je zelf hele applicaties kan opzetten en ook van anderen kan kopiëren. Ning mist echter het gebruikersgemak die Yahoo Pipes wel biedt, waardoor Yahoo Pipes hier dus al een flinke stap verder is. Meer berichten over Yahoo Pipes vind je op Techmeme. Mashups for the rest of us I don&#8217;t have time to really dig in and play with the new Yahoo Pipes service, but it&#8217;s another reminder that mashups are getting more flavor (and easier to make) all the time.  Pipes is a visual mashup environment that lets you take any form of structured data (feeds, etc.), do some stuff to it (filter it, aggregate it, etc.) and combine it with other Web services, then output it as you like. The key thing that will be fun to watch is the simple visual style of the app.  You drag and drop pipes, connecting them and tweaking settings, and you&#8217;re actually doing (or able to do) some really sophisticated work, but it doesn&#8217;t feel like scary programming.  Best of all, you can clone other people&#8217;s mashups and start using that as a workbase. Tim O&#8217;Reilly has a great post on this.  Jeremy Zawodny and Bradley Horowitz explain more.  Kevin Cheng talks about the design component. Anil Dash has a fantastic roundup post linking Pipes to other mashup platform projects. I didn&#8217;t know about Plagger, but you may have already played with Ning (mashup playground for social apps) or heard about Teqlo (which, I think, I aimed at doing this for enterprise users).   Check out the TechMeme thread for more. Share This Customized social networking Ning is a new social networking site that allows users to create their own custom online social networks. So now anyone can set up a social networking site for any group of people with common interests. That should be attractive to a lot of association professionals.Trouble is, it's yet another social networking site for which you need all the usual profile information, password, username, etc. Still, I think this technology and others like it will be attractive for associations who are trying to find ways to engage their membership communities via an increasingly familiar form of virtual networking.As an experiment, I've set up CAE and Proud, a customized social networking site for CAEs, prospective CAEs, or anyone who wants to virtually hang around with CAEs.

And I&#8217;m (definitely) not looking to start a social network.

On Monday Tom Andrus and family were interviewed by Oprah via satellite from Cape Town, South Africa. This morning around 8 a.m. resident technology diva and VP in EarthLink's Audience division Erika Jolly Brookes is appearing live on Fox's Good Day Atlanta, on WAGA Fox 5. Erika and host Suchita Vadlamani will be discussing fashion and technology trends for the Spring. As a companion piece to her segment on Good Day Atlanta and for those of you who may be outside of the viewing audience, Erika wrote up for Earthling her five top tech tips on the intersection of fashion and technology: The warm temperatures, high pollen count and itchy eyes are a sure sign that SPRING IS IN THE AIR. This is also a time when women begin pulling out all of the spring faithfuls – cute sandals, pastel-colored dresses and skirts, comfy capris…They’ve also made sure they know what’s “in” this spring (metallics, yellows, black and white, 80s body conscious, etc., etc.)…AND, since statistics show that women no longer lag behind men when it comes to technology (we make up 45 percent of total Internet users by some statistics), I’m sure many women are also busy updating their technology favorites for the season. In that spirit, I thought I would share my five faves: Cute Dress, Cuter bag -- Dresses are in this spring, and we start our pursuit of the best dresses this season by going to a local boutique (Sage Clothing andKaleidoscope Boutique are two that I love here in Atlanta) to purchase the cutest dress on the rack. Make sure your laptop bag doesn’t take away from the feminine look that’s automatic when you’re wearing a pretty dress. Many shops – and even stores like Target – have cute, inexpensive laptop bags in all of the season’s hottest colors. Think slouchy bag meets laptop. Why not camouflage your technology in something attractive? All-Around Style -- Since the weather is nice, you’ll probably be out and about showing off your new sandals and freshly-waxed legs. But, when your boyfriend or hubby calls, don’t be caught with an out-of date cell phone. It will throw off your entire look! Check out the latest Blackberry Pearl and Helio phones for the latest and greatest. They even have cool features that make it easy to keep up with your calendar, address book and your myspace page! Read on for more. Online Shopping The Safe Way -- If you’re a fashionista who does a lot of online shopping, you want to make sure your personal information is safe. So… as you’re switching out your closets and doing your spring cleaning, don’t forget to make sure your computer is clean. I highly recommend using an easy to use security suite like our Protection Control Center with Attack Shield that removes spyware, safeguards from phishers and keeps your personal identity safe. Music To My Ears -- I know every college girl has an iPod (and every other woman who loves music, but doesn’t have an iPod should run out and get one today!). If you’ll be heading to the beach for you or your family’s spring break, or if you’ll be treating yourself to a good, ole fashioned “I owe it to myself a spring vacation,” be sure to grab H2O Audio's Waterproof Housing case or a Portable Water-Resistant Stereo Sport Case made by iHome to make sure your tunes don’t get wet! The great thing is that most cases come in nice girly colors (I love this pink one) Don’t Forget to Accessorize – While there are general advancements made around customization that make technology more suited for women – i.e. cell phones are getting smaller and smaller, laptops and iPods come in a variety of colors, web sites for women are popping up all over the place – one might argue that the accessories are outpacing the technologies! So, this spring comes with many options for cases, stands and even “bling” that come in shapes, colors and sizes perfect for you and your technologies. Ning Me! – Social networking is hot these days. From Myspace to Facebook, women all over the world have embraced this new way of connecting with their friends. Why not take the trend up a notch and create your own “girlfriends network”?? Ning.com lets you do just that. Check it out, sign up and in no time, you and your girlfriends can have a private place to plan your next girlfriends’ day, share fun pictures and do all the online things that you love. For more tips, check out Popgadget.net (or grab the RSS feed). It’s one of the best sites for a “fashion-forward techno vogue” if you ask me. And, let me know if you have your own fave technologies and accessories for the spring! I look forward to your comments. -Erika Jolly Brookes Coworking survey and vote on the Net Squared Innovation Fund I don&#8217;t normally cross-post, but seeing as how my blogs are starting to converge a bit, I don&#8217;t mind throwing this one in there&#8230; First, Tara&#8217;s been collecting survey data on coworking trends &#8212; as well as what common experiences, expectations and desires are. We&#8217;ve received about 50 responses so far and would love to have more &#8212; especially from the LifeHacker and WebWorkerDaily communities. If you&#8217;re interested, come fill out the survey, shouldn&#8217;t take more than a few minutes, and we&#8217;ll be sharing the data with everyone at the end. Second, I just blogged over on Citizen Agency about getting your vote out for the Net Squared Innovation Fund. We&#8217;re donating a good chunk of consulting time to the effort to help equip non-profits with the skills, technology and &#8220;2.0 know-how&#8221; that they need to stay competitive and be even more effective in their advocacy using modern tools. I invite you to read through and familiarize yourself with the slate of proposals that are all in the running for a chunk of the $100,000 that&#8217;s been set aside specifically for 20 community-selected projects and then go vote! Oh, and if you&#8217;re in the area tomorrow night, we&#8217;re hosting Gina Bianchini, the co-founder and CEO of Ning and Benjamin Rattray the CEO of Change.org at Net Tuesday on the topic of &#8220;How Nonprofits Can Use and Build Online Social Networks: Change.org and Ning at Net Tuesday&#8221;, starting at 6pm at Citizen Space.

Share This Créez votre propre réseau social avec Ning Ning est une société californienne qui jusqu&#8217;à peu été fortement critiquée pour le manque d&#8217;intérêt de ses services: elle proposait à tous de créer des applications sociales (bookmarks, agrégation de contenu) mais était encore réservée à une élite sachant maîtriser le code et la programmation. Michael Arrington avait été particulièrement dur avec eux. Mais il vient de faire son méa culpa Ning revient sur la scène avec un nouveau produit permettant à n&#8217;importe qui sans aucune connaissance technique de créer son propre réseau social. Le service est plutôt sophistiqué et contient tout ce que l&#8217;on peut imaginer comme fonctionnalités (partage de fichiers; liste de contact; réseau privé/public). L&#8217;interface de configuration est vraiment simple et permet d&#8217;ajouter les modules de votre choix par simple Glisser/Déposer. Vous pouvez également totalement personnaliser le look de votre réseau social ou utiliser les nombreux templates déjà créés. Vous pourrez même y placer votre code Adsense moyennant 20 USD par mois et disposer de votre propre URL pour 5 USD par mois Je trouve cette idée particulièrement géniale et vous laisse découvrir la démo vidéo de ce nouveau service (en anglais) avec la charmante patronne de Ning, Gina Bianchini Le service n&#8217;est pas encore public mais ca ne devrait pas tarder.

You can create your own social network, make it open or closed, and easily add/delete/create the features you desire. These can include forums, blogs, member data bases, You Tube type video and more. What is most interesting is their approach to an "Open Source" model. You can see and clone any development done by another Ning site. I would be interested in asking a number of our TRENDS readers to build course/class models on Ning. Access the site at http://www.ning.com and then send me a link to your site. We'll publish these in a future TRENDS. This is great example of Web 2.0 design.It looks similar to what pbwiki and wetpaint are doing.

I think I've already mentioned Nancy Pearl's book lust site. I think it's great! If only these SN tool-builder folks would let us (subscribers) host the tools ourselves - anyone know of anybody doing that? Street Meat: RÃ¥ddent kød. Undskyld. gmaps mashup applikation sammen pÃ¥ Ning. Vi kaldte det street meat - meat for the street eaters. Men sÃ¥ strandede den der. Trods det superfede navn. Jeg More Pandora Mashups & Hacks Then You Can Shake a Stick At TimofSuburbia has a post of literally dozens of Pandora hacks and mashups. It also looks like he has created a cool Digg-like interface and station directory. I few weeks a ago a played around with the same idea for Shoutcast stations using Ning, but never got very far. I'd love to see someone (who knew what they were doing) pick up on this effort.He has also got a separate wishlist for Pandora features that you can vote on. Great stuff, check it all out. Making Money in the Mashup Economy The third edition of Mashup Camp was, as usual, free to attendees through the sponsorship of big and not-so-big software and web companies. Those companies don&#8217;t support Mashup Camp just because it&#8217;s a nice thing. They&#8217;re not just trying to get in good with cutting-edge developers. No they are doing it because there&#8217;s money to be made in mashups. Let&#8217;s look at some of the most interesting ways companies are making money (or hoping to) in the mashup economy: elastic computing, aggregated data access, mashup development tools, and mashups themselves. Elastic Computing By providing so-called elastic data storage and virtual hardware, Amazon&#8217;s Web Services and efforts built on top of it may represent one of the best ways of making money off of people&#8217;s desire to assemble apps instead of building them from scratch. Mashup developers could always buy and administer their own hardware, but the philosophy of mashups is based on putting together apps out of pieces other people provide. Elastic computing services make storage and processing power into yet another off-the-shelf component. Amazon&#8217;s S3 data storage service provides a cheap and scalable online hard drive. Not only does it scale up, in case your video mashup suddenly attracts a bunch of users with long videos, it also scales down, in case those video users migrate to a different service. You&#8217;re not stuck paying for hard drive space you no longer need. You pay $.15 per gigabyte per month for storage and $.20 per gigabyte of data transfer. Amazon&#8217;s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) offers on-demand processing power. Need to transcode the videos your video mashup users upload? Again, pay for just the computing power you need by adding and subtracting virtual machine instances. Aggregated Data Access Companies with valuable data like Dun & Bradstreet with its comprehensive business credit information and Bloomberg with its financial data feeds have long known how to make big bucks by selling access to their data via commercial feeds, APIs, and services around them. As mashup development on the open web becomes more popular, we&#8217;ll likely see companies with valuable data charge those who access it. But you don&#8217;t have to have your own data to make money off of data access. Right now, there&#8217;s revenue to be had in acting as a one-stop shop for mashup developers, essentially sticking yourself right between data providers and data consumers. ProgrammableWeb, the favorite community website of mashup developers, provides comprehensive listings of APIs available on the web and includes forums where developers can discuss how to best use them. ProgrammableWeb earns money from direct sponsorships on the website. StrikeIron aims at the enterprise and commercial software development markets by aggregating access to popular data sources and APIs in the form of a web services marketplace. Their September 2006 launch of a &#8220;super data pack&#8221; suggests how aggregating data access represents a potentially lucrative trend in the mashup economy. Mashup Development Tools Sophisticated developers might already have all they need to build a mashup&#8211;a hosted LAMP stack and text editor, a quick browse of APIs at ProgrammableWeb, a few thousand lines of PHP code, and voila!&#8211;the next HousingMaps. But as mashup making mojo filters out to the broader web population, there&#8217;s a need for both easier-to-use and more full-featured tools for composing applications out of little pieces found on the web. One of my favorite demos at Mashup Camp (and the one that got my wooden nickel) was OpenKapow, a free tool that lets you make an RSS feed, HTML component, or REST-style API out of whatever website has the data or interactivity you need. Where&#8217;s the money, if it&#8217;s free? In their enterprise software: a mashup server that a company hosts itself, and thus gives its employees the ability to integrate existing applications and new capabilities into so-called composite applications specially tuned to the needs of individual employees or small groups. It&#8217;s a great idea to offer a free version of your software to the web community, because people playing with it might just want to bring it into their employers&#8217; IT setups. IBM also has its sights on the mashup market, with QEDWiki, a prototype browser-based development tool that allows end users to build their own composite applications in a wiki-type environment. Proto Software offers a similar tool, but as a desktop application instead of in the browser. You might also be familiar with some of the many do-it-yourself application development tools on the web: Coghead, Ning, and DabbleDB represent just three of the more well-known ones. All of these offerings aim at the end user programming market that may converge at some point with mashup development. And Even Mashups Themselves Can you make money off of mashups themselves? Sure&#8211;because in the end, a mashup is just another website or web app, so the same rules for making what you&#8217;ve built into a business mostly apply. On the back end, you&#8217;ll need to worry about what your data and API providers think of what you&#8217;re doing so that they don&#8217;t cut you off. But on the front end, you have all the same ways available as before to make money on the web: advertising, affiliate revenue, subscription services, and so forth. The Hype Machine, the best mashup of Mashup Camp 3, for example, uses both advertising and affiliate sales revenue to make money. But the vast majority of websites don&#8217;t turn a profit for their creators, and this may hold true for most mashups too. Looks like if you want to make money on mashups, you might want to become what the Mashup Camp folks call a &#8220;mashup enabler&#8221;&#8211;the service and tool providers that make mashups possible. Share/Send Online Video Industry Index Written by Emre Sokullu and edited by Richard MacManus digg_url = 'http://digg.com/tech_news/Online_Video_Industry_Index'; There are now so many companies vying to be the next YouTube, it's easy to lose track of them all. So let's take a look at the entire online video industry and categorize the major players. Our thanks to Ali Dagli of Savvian, for providing us a lot of the useful data listed here.  In this post we've summarized the latest video industry innovations under the following categories: Video Sharing Intermediaries Video Search Video eCommerce Video Editing & Creation Rich Media Advertising P2P (Peer To Peer) Video Streaming Vlogosphere Video Sharing Video sharing - and particularly YouTube - have been the poster boys of the online video industry so far. Video sharing sites allow you to upload your videos and share them with others. But even if you are not a content producer, you can watch others movies. So this is a very consumer-oriented industry that has been popularized via blog-based viral marketing. YouTube - Like other Sequoia Capital investments Yahoo and Google, YouTube outperformed its competitors and has become a clear winner in video sharing. And Google didn't skip this opportunity in the online video space, as it took advantage of YouTube's legal hassles and snapped up the market leader for the relatively small sum(!) of $1.65B. Even though Google already had its own video sharing site, Google Video, this acquisition showed Google's ambitions in the online video space. Yahoo Video remains well behind Google Video and YouTube. Also Yahoo Video does not support as many video formats as the others do. For example, you cannot upload your videos directly from your mobile, because this format is not supported yet. Yahoo is trying to increase Yahoo Video usage by making it a part of their other well established properties. For instance, you can see Yahoo Video stories on their homepage. SoapBox is Microsoft's answer to the latest developments in the video sharing industry. It is in invitation only beta status for now, but will probably go live very soon. It is expected to be a crucial part of Microsoft's new Live.com initiative, although the site is currently under the MSN domain. Grouper was snapped up by Sony for $60M and is expected to be integrated with Sony's future digital cameras. PhotoBucket - a crucial component of most social networking sites and the number one photo sharing site, did not miss the big opportunity in online video space and has a video component too. Webshots - like PhotoBucket, photo sharing site Webshots (a CNET property) has also caught the online video wave. Ning - Netscape founder Marc Andreesen's latest venture recently turned its focus onto video features and in some sense became a player in the online video sharing space as well. iFilm was acquired by Viacom, the owner of MTV Networks, in October 2005. The site claims to get more than 10 million visitors per month. MetaCafe - Israel based company is estimated to be the second biggest player in this space after YouTube. The company does not limit itself to its home country and has big international ambitions. It was recently rumoured to be acquired by Yahoo for $200M. The company is backed by top tier VC companies like Benchmark Capital and Accel Partners. MetaCafe does not have a time limitation like YouTube, and offers a rich desktop client for easy uploading. Their unique revenue sharing program was a great innovation in this space. DailyMotion - The number one video sharing site in France is also a key player in the global arena. Allows 150MB of video upload and has a larger default video size. GoFish - Publicly traded company is worth $126M as of this writing. Its popularity is well below others though. Dave.tv - The site wants you to program your own channel with your favourite movies, music and clips, then broadcast it from your web page, blog or MySpace. This is a well thought through viral marketing tactic, but the site's traffic seems low at this time. Some of the upcomers in video sharing are: Vimeo, VideoJug, Kewego, China's Yoqoo, Revver,Veoh, iBloks, VidiLife, Blip.TV, VodPod, Fliqz. Image from Go2Web20.net Intermediaries Do you think you can legally host your commercial videos on YouTube or MetaCafe? The short answer is no. For professional use, you'll need to contact intermediary companies to do this job for you. Their main duty is to connect publishers, video creators and advertisers. BrightCove connects video creators with web publishers. This is a huge company that raised ~ $60M from investors including New York Times in their latest round of financing. Their syndication marketplace consists of 1319 channels as of this writing. NBBC - powered by NBC, connects businesses that create video with businesses that want video, in other words a video marketplace. Note: the logo can mislead you and take you to a porn site; onbbc.com. Be careful, and I humbly recommend that NBBC switch to another logo! VideoEgg - Connecticut based company empowers the video publishing of big consumers like TED events, Bebo, Hi5 and America Online. Raised $12M in Series C from August Capital and Josh Kopelman's First Round Capital. Roo.TV is yet another big player in the video intermediaries field. They are traded in NASDAQ (RGRP) and their market value is $90M as of this writing. Some of their partners are Pioneer, Verizon, Warner Bros. Maven Networks partners include 20th Century, The Weather Channel, TimeOut New York, Walt Disney, Nike, and Sony Pictures. Accel Partners and General Catalyst Partners invested $10M in this company in 2004. NarrowStep is traded in OTC and currently has a market valuation of $41M. Partners include Land Rover. Other players include thePlatform and The FeedRoom, which empowers top companies like HP, Wal-Mart, Sun, USA Today. Video Search Google Video - after the acquisition of YouTube, Google now focuses its Google Video property on video search. This is a smart strategy, because the Google brand largely means search. YouTube was already the number one video sharing site and Google Video has exclusive access to all YouTube and Google Video data - which makes Google Video search much superior to others. AOL Video Search is a successful video search service from AOL. AOL had this capability after acquiring the successful startup Truveo in early 2006. blinkx differs itself from the crowd with its innovative interface, which shows a preview of videos in the search results. They also get satisfactory results from a variety of sites. Pixsy is a successful, independent video search startup. It returned satisfactory results in our test queries. Mamma - the site claims to provide lots of search options, but their focus is video. In our tests it was satisfactory. ClipBlast claims to have the largest online video collection, but the results don't back this up. TV Eyes is different, because it crawls not video sharing sites like YouTube - but real TV channels. Video eCommerce Video eCommerce sites allow you to legally stream the latest cinema movies and TV shows from your computer. Guba was one of the first to enter this market, being founded in 1998. They are not only a video eCommerce site, but have free offerings and also a video sharing component. But video sharing on Guba is very small compared to video eCommerce. One of Guba's co-founders left the company after the YouTube acquisition and said in an interview that YouTube won the big prize - and there will be no more big prizes in the industry! Amazon Unbox can be easily described as the iTunes of videos. Unbox allows you to preview and buy a wide selection of TV shows and movies for very low prices, starting from $1.99. The videos can be watched via an exclusive client app from Amazon. MovieFlix offers videos in Real format. They offer 2 membership programs: free and premium. Besides the freely accessible videos, you can pay a monthly fee of $7.99 and access their 4000 titles - the quality is arguable though. Vongo - if you are not a US resident, don't even try visiting their site. Well, you can use proxy servers, but Vongo has strict access restrictions - not only limited by browser and OS types, but also your location. The service works in USA only and they are known for their TV spots. The service requires you to install a client, then you pay $9.99 per month to get access to an unlimited number of movies. MovieBeam is yet another video sharing site. It is pay per watch based and the prices start from $1.99. This is another crowded market. Other players include MovieLink, CinemaNow, MarketBeam and the video eCommerce offerings of bigcos like Apple, Real and WalMart. Also, the Venice Project (Joost) from the Skype founders is targeting this market. Check out a recent Techcrunch comparison to review some of companies mentioned under this category. Video Creation & Editing You have videos, but how do you edit them? Are you willing to stick with desktop apps and pay hundreds of dollars in license fees? The Web is the answer again. The following sites are generally known to be good companions to video sharing sites. JumpCut - this video editing site was acquired by Yahoo right after it got to its public beta status. It is expected to be embedded into Yahoo Video. This will bring a clear editing advantage to Yahoo over the others. Yahoo is currently far behind Google in the video space overall, so they should hurry up and integrate JumpCut! EyeSpot - was invested in by Michael Robertson of mp3.com and Yahoo's JumpCut acquisition increases our expectations for this company to get bought by Google. The mix system would also be handy for MySpace's core user group, musicians who shoot their clip and then remix it to publish on their MySpace page. So News Corp is another potential acquirer. Lycos Mix - no, Lycos is not dead. Lycos Mix, along with Lycos Cinema, is designed to take Lycos to the next level in the online video space. Dabble - It's not exactly video editing, but playlist making with other videos fetched from video sharing sites. Mojiti - China based company was covered recently by Read/WriteWeb. It allows you to add notations to your videos. Mojiti is also a video sharing site targeting the Chinese market. Other players include, but not limited to, MovieMasher, MotionBox, Canopus and Avid. Rich Media Advertising Another hot area is rich media advertising. This is the field that will pump blood (=money) to all other services. Rich Media Advertising can consist of advanced computer science techniques like voice recognition (speech to text) and visual object recognition. We will just list the names, as most of them are very early stage.  Google and AdBrite are the major players. aQuantive (a $2B company traded at NASDAQ), KlipMart, PostRoller, eyeWonder, eyeBlaster, DoubleClick, adInterax (acquired by Yahoo! last year), padaddies, pointroll are other players. P2P Peer to peer is taking an important place in video sharing. Video sharing requires large bandwidth, which is why the burn rate of these sites is very high and only the VC backed ones survive. P2P is an answer to this problem, by spreading the bandwidth weight to clients using this system. There have been some recent large investments in companies working in this field. BitTorrent - Creators of the popular open source P2P file sharing protocol do not own the protocol itself, but own one of the most popular clients and a search site. They recently got $20M funding from top tier firms like Accel Partners and acquired another popular bittorrent client µTorrent. Azureus - Creators of the Java based popular open source bittorrent client, Azureus is now entering the web space with Zudeo. They recently closed a $12M Series B investment from RedPoint Ventures and BV Capital. Kontiki is a VeriSign company. Video Streaming So who do you think serves you all these videos? Video hosting is not an easy job! Akamai is known as the world leader and serves big customers including Microsoft, Google and Yahoo. The company is traded on NASDAQ and has a market cap of $9B. Limelight is the site that powers YouTube, MySpace, iFilm and many others. They are growing fast and their last investment round was $130M, led by Goldman Sachs. VitalStream was bought by Internap in 2006 for $217M. Others include Savvis and RawFlow Vlog-o-sphere Blogs and photologs have already taken over many peoples lives - being an excellent way to share, communicate and self-express. And now with the commodization of digital cameras, comes the vlogs - a.k.a. video blogs.. They are either for fun or self expression, but a big industry can blossom here - there are a lot of opportunities. Tomorrows vlogs, for example, are candidates to replace your favourite daily TV shows. And popular vlogs don't just attract ads, but they also hold the potential to sign partnership deals with video sharing sites. Examples: Ask A Ninja - this surprise hit recently become a member of Federated Media, John Battelle's directory of popular blogs. Rocketboom is the best example of how far vlogs can go. This vlog is dedicated to reporting the latest developments in internet culture, in an original and entertaining way. It looks so professional that you may not able to differentiate it from TV shows you watch. Conclusion The list is certainly not complete. And this categorization is subject to change, for example with upcoming stealth mode startups. The innovation and opportunities in the online video industry are endless. Please help us take this list to the next level, by noting other companies you know of in the comments. Wufoo and DIY web apps Wufoo is a new web app that enables users to create their own web forms. I have to disclaim that Kevin Hale, the guy who re-designed my blog, is one of the people behind Wufoo - so I'm somewhat biased in writing about it. But to balance that, I'll also mention other companies who have developed similar web apps. With Wufoo you can create your own online form and integrate it within your blog or website, or create a separate form page (which you can style). Other features include ability to email the form to people, RSS feeds to track usage, and a Report Manager. The process to create a form is very simple and it took me just a few minutes to create a test form, which I've copied and pasted below. There's lot's of Ajaxy goodness to make the process smooth and whizzy, but more importantly the end result is a useful one for website owners and bloggers. Here's my test questionaire, embedded into my blog (hopefully - I can't tell if it's working or not until I press 'publish'): Update: It does work, but clicking 'Submit' takes the user away from my blog page. Also it'd be cool to have results automatically updated and displayed on this page. Update 2: I've put the form on a separate page, because it was causing some display issues on my homepage. Wufoo's business plan is subscriptions and by the looks of their page of examples, they're targeting everyone from software developers (for bug tracking) to mainstream website owners (e.g. create a wedding registration form). It's interesting to read how Wufoo came about - it was a product of Paul Graham's Y Combinator program for statups. Wufooer Chris Campbell wrote a useful post about the experience, entitled The Top 10 Questions Investors Asked Us. The DIY Web App Market Wufoo is the latest in a line of recent services that make building interactive Web apps easy. There are a number of new widget-builders - Snipperoo, PostApp are two that I've noted recently. Also Phil Sim launched WyaCracker in April. In terms of online form builders, in addition to Wufoo there's The Form Assembly and JotForm (that I'm aware of). Also let's not forget the larger-scale DIY web app builders, like Ning, JotSpot, Ning, Zoho Creator, Dabble DB, DataMashups.com. Overall, it's all part of a larger trend for web-based services that make creating interactive applications easy as pie - a great sign for the mainstreaming of Web20. Yahoo! Acquires Video Startup Jumpcut and remixing — whether it’s a Ning app, YouTube video or Google Maps — and this more than anything safely completes Yahoo!’s goal to be a successful Ning Launches New Social Applications Marc Andreessen’s pet-project Ning which lets users clone, customize, Beyond NewsMastering: Yahoo! Pipes Is The Internet RSS Remixer - Overview And Reports Yahoo! Pipes, is essentially a very powerful RSS feed remixer, which goes well and beyond the original newsmastering concept I described a few years ago. Potentially, Yahoo! Pipes is a highly disruptive visual programming environment that puts in the hands of many people the ability to create web mashups and web-based applications that combine data from different sources with much greater ease and effectiveness. Photo credit: Jack Parry Put simply, Yahoo! Pipes is a way of visually manipulating data feeds from around the web, and mashing them together into new interactive creations. Yahoo! Pipes lets you drag and drop different information feeds - for example, the latest news items from your favourite news sources, or search queries from the online shop of your choice - and combine them through a series of filters into so-called "pipes". The term "pipes" comes from the Unix operating system terminology and refers to the ability to connect sources of data to filters and utilities. "A pipe is a way of constructing ad-hoc workflows composed of any number of inputs, filters, and manipulation tools. And the beauty of the whole system is that they all use a very simple input and output method, so there's a nearly infinite set of ways you can combine and recombine them." Wikipedia says: "In Unix-like computer operating systems, a pipeline is the original software pipeline: a set of processes chained by their standard streams, so that the output of each process feeds directly as input of the next one. Filter programs are often used in this configuration. The concept was invented by Douglas McIlroy for Unix shells and it was named by analogy to a physical pipeline." While Yahoo! describes its new service as "an interactive feed aggregator and manipulator" that allows you to "create feeds that are more powerful, useful and relevant" the real potential of Yahoo! Pipes sits all in the promise of "turning the web into a programmable environment for everyone." Pipes examples currently in circulation include a New York Times Thru Flickr application that matches images from photo sharing website Flickr with news items from the New York Times, and an aggregated news alert pulling in the latest headlines from Yahoo, Google, MSN, Findory, Bloglines and Technorati. In essence here is a service that promises to let everyday people (perhaps with a slightly geeky streak) grab different data from all over the web and manipulate it to do their bidding, simply by dragging and dropping elements around a visual interface. But how does it work? Who is likely to use it? What do experts think about it? In this mini-guide to Yahoo! Pipes, me and Michael Pick have summarized, organized and commented the key facts, issues, and thoughts that have emerged from the Web in the few hours that have passed since Yahoo! Pipes launch. Read on to find out:What it is - what exactly this tool is capable of Usability - the latest feedback on how to go about using Yahoo Pipes! Examples - how the tool has been put to use so far, and for what Positive buzz - the positive feedback bouncing around the blogosphere about Yahoo! Pipes Concerns and caveats - the potential issues users might face Related tools - the rollcall of other similar services and tools out there already Here, the details: Photo credit: Mateusz Zagorski What are Yahoo Pipes? Mashups are applications that merge data from different sources and bring them together to serve a new purpose. If you've ever run into an online map that displays photos of key sights, or clicked on a person's name to make an instant Skype call, you might well have come into contact with mashups. The problem with mashups is that you need to be a code genius programmer to have a hope of making your own. This is where web widgets come in handy, given that they give you the chance to plug this mashup content right into your website as easily as you might embed a YouTube video. But still, as much as you can fiddle with widgets and bend what they do slightly to your needs, the level of control you have is limited to say the least. Photo credit: Richard MacManus Enter Yahoo! Pipes, which, while certainly not as easy to get to grips with as widgets, certainly take the pain out of mashing up your online data sources. If this sounds a little geeky, the long and the short of it is this - it is. While I would trust my grandmother to throw together a widget or two, Yahoo! Pipes would probably present her with a few more problems. So what we have in Yahoo! Pipes is a way of programming without really programming. Instead of typing in code, you drag and drop tools and filters around a visual interface, filling in the details as you go. As Yahoo! Pipes is based on a social network paradigm, there are lots of prefabricated elements that you can grab from other users and change slightly to suit your needs. So while a lot of the more complicated mashups being put together with Yahoo! Pipes are likely to be from the geek fraternity, less tech-savvy users will be able to go in, copy and tweak the work already done for them by the caring, sharing members of the community. Let's say that someone had already made a news aggregator that pulls in the latest headlines from generic sources like Yahoo News, CNN and the BBC. It wouldn't be too difficult to go on in there, use this mashup as a starting point, and swap the news feeds for something more suited to your needs - Tech news sites, for instance. Usability Obviously the chief appeal of Yahoo Pipes! is in the fact that it takes coding out of the equation of creating mashups, and instead brings a user-friendly visual interface into play. But just how user friendly is it, and who is likely to be able to make use of the service in its early beta stage? Photo credit: Brady Forrest Reports vary as to the ease of use of the service, with some suggesting that it is a piece of cake to get stuck in and working with mashups, others suggest that it is not quite ready for primetime, and is more likely to be of use to the tech-savvy. Brady Forrest notes that: ''The Pipes editor/creator is a really amazing piece of software. You are presented with a white, graphpaper-esque canvas to build your pipe on. A toolbox with a slew of potential modules is on the left, tabs for working with multiples pipes are across the top, and a debugger on the bottom. To build the Pipe you drag modules onto the canvas, enter the relevant data and connect them together via "wires".'' Brady Forrest, O'Reilly Radar His enthusiasm is mirrored by Nik Cubrilovic, who emphasizes not only the interface design, but the speed and simplicity with which it can be put to use: ''The beauty of the application is with its simplicity - a user can take any sources, user input requests or the above mentioned module and drag+drop them into place and then connect the pipes. Within minutes I had built an application (also known as a pipe, they should probably change the name as not everything can be a pipe) that would search for ‘Techcrunch’ in a variety of feeds, bring that data together, sort it and filter it for unique results.'' Nik Cubrilovic - TechCrunch Richard MacManus is slightly more reserved about this ease-of-use, and while he seems enthusiastic about the service, brings in the first hint that it might not be entirely suitable for Joe Public to make use of: ''The UI seems a little geeky and kind of reminds me of Ning (not sure if that's a compliment or not, as Ning never took off). But I've long thought that RSS remix feeds are the future of RSS - and certainly one way to try and filter information overload. So this is a great move by Yahoo to release an RSS remix service to the early adopter crowd.'' Richard MacManus, Read / Write Web This praise mixed with a gentle warning about Yahoo! Pipes' complexity also finds its way into Anil Dash's coverage of the service. The message seems clear - this is not going to have the same market penetration as MySpace or YouTube: ''Pipes combines a remarkably sophisticated development environment with some core social features such as the ability to clone or share the web services you produce. The service is fairly approachable, but somewhat complex once you get just under the surface, and should be moderately successful while radically raising the bar for other tools in its category.'' Anil Dash, Dashes.com Even Tim O'Reilly, who authored a veritable love sonnet to Yahoo! Pipes stresses this same point: ''It's not quite as easy as drag and drop. I have to understand the query syntax of the sites I want to search, and modify the URL-builder modules to use that syntax rather than the syntax of the sites I'm replacing. But it's relatively easy once you play around a bit. Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Radar In short then Yahoo! Pipes would seem to be something less than rocket science, but certainly taxing enough to make several tech luminaries issue caveats about its complexity and slight inaccessibility to the technologically uninitiated. Examples The following list includes some of the Yahoo! Pipes currently in circulation:Apartment Near Something - allows you to input what you would like to be near (a mountain, a shopping mall), which city you would like to be in or close to, and how far you would be willing to travel, before spitting out geographical data to fit your query. A Yahoo blog feed aggregator A hot deal search that searches numerous shopping search engines to get you the best price on the item of your choice Aggregated news feeds from the top online news sites Browse the other Pipes available at Yahoo! Pipes Positive buzz There will be more than a few champagne corks popped at Yahoo! HQ tomorrow, given that the response to Yahoo! Pipes has been resoundingly positive, and as widespread as any PR agent could dream of. Perhaps the least restrained, and glowing of the responses comes from Tim O'Reilly, who sees the service as a new step forward in the evolution of the web. He writes: ''Yahoo!'s new Pipes service is a milestone in the history of the internet. It's a service that generalizes the idea of the mashup, providing a drag and drop editor that allows you to connect internet data sources, process them, and redirect the output. Yahoo! describes it as "an interactive feed aggregator and manipulator" that allows you to "create feeds that are more powerful, useful and relevant." While it's still a bit rough around the edges, it has enormous promise in turning the web into a programmable environment for everyone.'' Tim O'Reilly - O'Reilly Radar Photo credit: Tim O'Reilly Pete Cashmore is less grandiose, but nevertheless sees the service as a step in the right direction. He notes that: ''Pipes is still a little geeky, admittedly, but it’s a great first step in creating a mashup tool for the masses.'' Pete Cashmore, Mashable Overall, however, the feedback on the service falls somewhere between these two examples, making Yahoo! Pipes' reception an incredibly positive affair. It is easy to see how, while the service might not be a killer app in terms of market penetration, it is certainly leading the way and hinting at the shape of things to come for the evolving social, malleable web. Concerns and caveats While the mood is a largely positive one out in the tech blogosphere, a couple of concerns and caveats have risen from the jollity. Chief among them is the previously mentioned issue of usability: ''Now, while I say Pipes opens up mashup programming to the non-programmer, it's not entirely for the faint of heart. At minimum, you need to be able to look at a URL line and parse out the parameters (so, for example, you can use Pipes' "URL builder" module to construct input to a site's query function), understand variables and loops, and so on. But you don't really need to know these things to get started'' Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Radar Photo credit: Niall Kennedy The other possible issue raised is from a content publishers perspective. While consumers might welcome the ability to weed out advertising content from blog posts, for instance, this could potentially threaten the livelihood of those pro-bloggers that rely on this important revenue stream: ''Yahoo! Pipes makes it easy to remove advertising from feeds or otherwise reformat your content. I already know a few publishers who hold back the publishing the full content of their posts for fear of easy resyndication and brand dilution, and if Pipes becomes popular publishers might hold back a bit further or ban Yahoo! Pipes outright. A Yahoo! Mail user searching for a new feed subscription will likely choose an identical feed labeled "No Ads!!!" associated with their favorite brands.'' Niall Kennedy - Niall Kennedy.com On the one hand the usability issue threatens the extent to which Yahoo! Pipes will be taken up by everyday web users, and on the other, its powerful ability to filter and refine the content that passes through it has content producers a little concerned about how it might facilitate both ad-dodging and unchecked wholesale copying of content by unscrupulous sploggers. Related tools Several predecessors and alternatives to Yahoo! Pipes have been discussed in it's ongoing coverage. Anil Dash suggests: ''Plagger: an open-source, installable feed routing system created by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa which performs much of the core functionality of Pipes and is customizable, but lacks the user interface and integrated development environment (IDE) which distinguish Pipes. Ning: Perhaps the archetypal social application platform for the web. Headed by Gina Bianchini, Ning has thus far defined the feature set for end-user creation of web applications, though the focus has not been on creating web services.'' Jamie Pitts suggests that Yahoo! Pipes leans heavily on the interface design of Apple Quartz Composer and Propellerhead's Reason applications. Ivan Pope throws a recommendation in the direction of Dappit, a data mapping web app that serves a similar function to Yahoo! Pipes. Conclusions Photo credit: Pete Cashmore "Pipes is a hosted service that lets you remix feeds and create new data mashups in a visual programming environment. The name of the service pays tribute to Unix pipes, which let programmers do astonishingly clever things by making it easy to chain simple utilities together on the command line." Here is a tool with the potential to change the way non-programmers interact with data on the web, allowing for the relatively easy mixing, matching and filtering of data streams into new information services and products which we have started to invent only in recent times. Nevertheless, this is not yet, a tool quite ready to be unleashed on the general public. While Web widgets bring mash ups to the masses, anyone that wants to get really stuck into the possibilities offered up by Yahoo! Pipes is going to have to know at least a little bit about the way web applications and protocols work behind the scenes. "Now, while I say Pipes opens up mashup programming to the non-programmer, it's not entirely for the faint of heart. At minimum, you need to be able to look at a URL line and parse out the parameters (so, for example, you can use Pipes' "URL builder" module to construct input to a site's query function), understand variables and loops, and so on. But you don't really need to know these things to get started. What's really lovely about this is that, like the Unix shell, Pipes provides a gradual introduction to web programming. You start out by modifying someone else's pipe just a bit, then branch out into something more adventurous." (Source: Tim O'Reilly) That said, given that the site is emphasizing its social network aspect, and that many users are already freely sharing their mashups, it should not prove too difficult to modify and tweak the groundwork laid by others in remixing RSS feeds for your own needs and interests. What that means is that nonetheless some technical prowess is required to make the best out of Yahoo! Pipes, by simply cloning and refining on the Pipes work done by others, many more will have the opportunity to more easily learn and familiarize themselves with "piping". Yahoo! Pipes is the first tangible tool that will allow many of you to customize, re-arrange and engineer new data views of the web as well as compelling new services that mix complementary and isolated data components available out there. Yahoo! Pipes is indeed, at least in historical terms, a milestone technology for the Web. It opens up opportunities that are orders of magnitude larger than what is typically possible today and it gives also to the less-technically equipped the means to mashup and remix content and information sources in ways and fashions not possible until now.

Andreessen, Netscape co-founder, is the main backer of Ning (it has spent about $9 million so far). In the video, interviewer Robert Scoble asks the important question. "Why do we need more social networks?" He cites Marc Canter, who has a similar vision in his PeopleAggregator: "Every one needs a social network." But Scoble retorts: "But I'm like, 'why?'" Andreessen answers that just as people began to want their own Web sites or blogs in ways we didn't appreciate earlier, they will want social networks. Still, we're left wondering exactly why, and whether it will really be Ning they'll go to. After all, simple blog or Web site software, from Wordpress to FreeWebs, Blogger and Vox, are all becoming simpler and more flexible, letting you place widgets on those blogs or sites that offer the same sort of social features offered by Ning. And if you want to customize to greater degree, you're probably serious enough to hire someone to do it, even for a few thousand bucks using other software -- so that you don't have to pay $5 a month to Ning in perpetuity, plus another $20 a month if you want to keep Ning's ads off the site (so that you can claim your own ad revenue), plus another $10 a month or 5GB storage/100GB of bandwidth (we note, however, that this last charge is quite reasonable, since you'll have to pay for bandwidth somehow)....

Social Media's Bright Future The 3000 people who have registered for O’Reilly’s Web2.0 Expo 2007 are a sign that social media is more than just a “narcissystem,” as Chris Pirillo calls it. The precious few hours I spent there have convinced me that this is a trend that will reach the mainstream, even if the jury’s out on how and when. Although very few people live as transparently and communally as Justin.tv with his 24/7 head cam, or Robert Scoble streaming live from his car on a Sunday drive to Merced, it’s clear to me that these early pioneers are showing us how we can effectively create virtual communities and develop relationships without actually meeting face to face. Fifty people watched Scoble drive to Merced, amusing themselves in a chat room the entire time. And anything that can develop relationships and nurture them has a reason to succeed. “No man is an islande..” said John Donne, a metaphysical poet from the 17th century. (That’s for all you engineers). I don’t even think social media has come close to reaching its true potential yet. People are blogging without knowing why they’re doing it, or posting their photos to Flickr or their videos on YouTube just because they CAN. But companies are also beginning to experiment with using these tools to accomplish business purposes. Social media will pass, like the telephone, from a curiosity to something we can’t remember living without. For example, I saw a speed demo of Instructables last night. And while the demo consisted mainly of things kids made with K’nex and Legos and shared on the site --some pretty cool toy guns and land mines, if you appreciate war like most fourteen year old boys –when I went back to check out the site this morning I also found the instructions for making some interesting squid dishes. Quite frankly, I can see an application like this used to teach people to give themselves injections of blood thinners after surgery, or to practice yoga. Patient education, parenting education – there are many uses for an interactive set of instructions; everyone who has tried to put together a swing set or a doll house knows this. In the life formerly known as my “First” life, I’m using Ning as a collaboration tool for a class I’m teaching in Networking and Public Relations for entrepreneurs at Grand Canyon University. Ning is a tool that helps you form social networks. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But it took five minutes to get going, and it is a great place to post class assignments, discussions, and reading. The students use it to communicate with me in between classes. It’s ad hoc, it’s free, and it’s community. It’s less formal and more visual than online learning platforms, but it’s where these platforms need to go. I also see the application of social media to non-profits, the communities they serve, and their donors. One of my current visions is to put the stories of domestic violence survivors I am working with on a site where they can meet their mentors and helpers – people who want to give money to a good cause and want to know where it is actually going. Remember how powerful those TV ads were about adopting a child in Africa? How much more powerful are they when they become interactive? Social Venture Partners has pioneered the idea of venture philanthropy, and it’s only a matter of time before it goes virtual: see what the youth after school program you invested in actually does – with the help of Google Video. Right now, we’ve got the tools and technology confused with the purpose of social media, which is to give audiences and consumers voices and faces. We will soon be taking the tools for granted and just putting them to use. Remember when there was no VCR? No cell phone? No Internet? No email? I do. I remember being an early adopter of each, when they seemed high tech and everybody said we didn’t need them and didn’t need to learn to use them. I even felt that way about television, when it came into my life in the ‘50s. We can make friends, customers, and partners on the Internet now. We can make our voices heard about who we don’t want for President. We are more powerful as a democracy if we want to be. Bloggers influenced the last election. YouTube will influence the next. Look what ZipRealty, Zillow and Trulia have done to the real estate industry. Listings, house values, and comparables are online. These were once the secrets of licensees. In Arizona, the state agency that licenses appraisers wants to stop Zillow from issuing its “zestimates” on Arizona homes. That will never happen, because buyers and sellers crave transparency. Realtors® and appraisers will have to adapt to this changing environment. After all, if medical information’s readily available on the Internet, why shouldn’t real estate values be. Will corporate social networking include dating? There's no shortage of social networks out there...all hoping to cash in on the success of MySpace and the alleged billion dollar valuation of Facebook. Today's Wall Street Journal and this article in the New York Times gives one extra dimension to the social networking phenomena: when a company like IBM recognizes social networking and prepares to ship software for companies to build and deliver their own social networks, it legitimizes the entire category. Most organizations I've been in have amazingly insular cultures. People stay on their floor in a building, hobnob with small circles of colleagues, and executives rarely bother to have coffee or lunch with underlings. As a sales leader, I always encouraged my team to reach out and discover who in our company might know leaders at any of their prospects since it often allowed us access to information and people we otherwise wouldn't have had. Though the Holy Grail of marketers would be to find a way to unleash the collective intelligence of customers who'd tell them exactly what to make and what they'd then buy, starting with internally connecting the intelligence of the people inside the organization makes perfect sense. With Ning, PeopleAggregator, GoingOn, ElggSpaces (sort of a Blogger for social network building), next generation bulletin board/forum software offerings like Alstrasoft's efriends software (scroll down to visit social sites built with their software), to instructions on how to build your own MySpace, companies and people are scrambling to figure out what the next, great hub model will be now that more and more of us are connected online and participating like crazy...and are attempting to monetize the phenomena by empowering others to build their own networks. I predict social network sites will explode this year and dwarf forums (as of today Big Boards tracks 1,933 forums) and getting attention for a new public network will be as tough as attracting people to a blog, web site or any other online offering. Making Money in the Mashup Economy The third edition of Mashup Camp was, as usual, free to attendees through the sponsorship of big and not-so-big software and web companies. Those companies don&#8217;t support Mashup Camp just because it&#8217;s a nice thing. They&#8217;re not just trying to get in good with cutting-edge developers. No they are doing it because there&#8217;s money to be made in mashups. Let&#8217;s look at some of the most interesting ways companies are making money (or hoping to) in the mashup economy: elastic computing, aggregated data access, mashup development tools, and mashups themselves. Elastic Computing By providing so-called elastic data storage and virtual hardware, Amazon&#8217;s Web Services and efforts built on top of it may represent one of the best ways of making money off of people&#8217;s desire to assemble apps instead of building them from scratch. Mashup developers could always buy and administer their own hardware, but the philosophy of mashups is based on putting together apps out of pieces other people provide. Elastic computing services make storage and processing power into yet another off-the-shelf component. Amazon&#8217;s S3 data storage service provides a cheap and scalable online hard drive. Not only does it scale up, in case your video mashup suddenly attracts a bunch of users with long videos, it also scales down, in case those video users migrate to a different service. You&#8217;re not stuck paying for hard drive space you no longer need. You pay $.15 per gigabyte per month for storage and $.20 per gigabyte of data transfer. Amazon&#8217;s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) offers on-demand processing power. Need to transcode the videos your video mashup users upload? Again, pay for just the computing power you need by adding and subtracting virtual machine instances. Aggregated Data Access Companies with valuable data like Dun & Bradstreet with its comprehensive business credit information and Bloomberg with its financial data feeds have long known how to make big bucks by selling access to their data via commercial feeds, APIs, and services around them. As mashup development on the open web becomes more popular, we&#8217;ll likely see companies with valuable data charge those who access it. But you don&#8217;t have to have your own data to make money off of data access. Right now, there&#8217;s revenue to be had in acting as a one-stop shop for mashup developers, essentially sticking yourself right between data providers and data consumers. ProgrammableWeb, the favorite community website of mashup developers, provides comprehensive listings of APIs available on the web and includes forums where developers can discuss how to best use them. ProgrammableWeb earns money from direct sponsorships on the website. StrikeIron aims at the enterprise and commercial software development markets by aggregating access to popular data sources and APIs in the form of a web services marketplace. Their September 2006 launch of a &#8220;super data pack&#8221; suggests how aggregating data access represents a potentially lucrative trend in the mashup economy. Mashup Development Tools Sophisticated developers might already have all they need to build a mashup&#8211;a hosted LAMP stack and text editor, a quick browse of APIs at ProgrammableWeb, a few thousand lines of PHP code, and voila!&#8211;the next HousingMaps. But as mashup making mojo filters out to the broader web population, there&#8217;s a need for both easier-to-use and more full-featured tools for composing applications out of little pieces found on the web. One of my favorite demos at Mashup Camp (and the one that got my wooden nickel) was OpenKapow, a free tool that lets you make an RSS feed, HTML component, or REST-style API out of whatever website has the data or interactivity you need. Where&#8217;s the money, if it&#8217;s free? In their enterprise software: a mashup server that a company hosts itself, and thus gives its employees the ability to integrate existing applications and new capabilities into so-called composite applications specially tuned to the needs of individual employees or small groups. It&#8217;s a great idea to offer a free version of your software to the web community, because people playing with it might just want to bring it into their employers&#8217; IT setups. IBM also has its sights on the mashup market, with QEDWiki, a prototype browser-based development tool that allows end users to build their own composite applications in a wiki-type environment. Proto Software offers a similar tool, but as a desktop application instead of in the browser. You might also be familiar with some of the many do-it-yourself application development tools on the web: Coghead, Ning, and DabbleDB represent just three of the more well-known ones. All of these offerings aim at the end user programming market that may converge at some point with mashup development. And Even Mashups Themselves Can you make money off of mashups themselves? Sure&#8211;because in the end, a mashup is just another website or web app, so the same rules for making what you&#8217;ve built into a business mostly apply. On the back end, you&#8217;ll need to worry about what your data and API providers think of what you&#8217;re doing so that they don&#8217;t cut you off. But on the front end, you have all the same ways available as before to make money on the web: advertising, affiliate revenue, subscription services, and so forth. The Hype Machine, the best mashup of Mashup Camp 3, for example, uses both advertising and affiliate sales revenue to make money. But the vast majority of websites don&#8217;t turn a profit for their creators, and this may hold true for most mashups too. Looks like if you want to make money on mashups, you might want to become what the Mashup Camp folks call a &#8220;mashup enabler&#8221;&#8211;the service and tool providers that make mashups possible.

So let's take a look at the entire online video industry and categorize the major players. Our thanks to Ali Dagli of Savvian, for providing us a lot of the useful data listed here.  In this post we've summarized the latest video industry innovations under the following categories: Video Sharing Intermediaries Video Search Video eCommerce Video Editing & Creation Rich Media Advertising P2P (Peer To Peer) Video Streaming Vlogosphere Video Sharing Video sharing - and particularly YouTube - have been the poster boys of the online video industry so far. Video sharing sites allow you to upload your videos and share them with others. But even if you are not a content producer, you can watch others movies. So this is a very consumer-oriented industry that has been popularized via blog-based viral marketing. YouTube - Like other Sequoia Capital investments Yahoo and Google, YouTube outperformed its competitors and has become a clear winner in video sharing. And Google didn't skip this opportunity in the online video space, as it took advantage of YouTube's legal hassles and snapped up the market leader for the relatively small sum(!) of $1.65B. Even though Google already had its own video sharing site, Google Video, this acquisition showed Google's ambitions in the online video space. Yahoo Video remains well behind Google Video and YouTube. Also Yahoo Video does not support as many video formats as the others do. For example, you cannot upload your videos directly from your mobile, because this format is not supported yet. Yahoo is trying to increase Yahoo Video usage by making it a part of their other well established properties. For instance, you can see Yahoo Video stories on their homepage. SoapBox is Microsoft's answer to the latest developments in the video sharing industry. It is in invitation only beta status for now, but will probably go live very soon. It is expected to be a crucial part of Microsoft's new Live.com initiative, although the site is currently under the MSN domain. Grouper was snapped up by Sony for $60M and is expected to be integrated with Sony's future digital cameras. PhotoBucket - a crucial component of most social networking sites and the number one photo sharing site, did not miss the big opportunity in online video space and has a video component too. Webshots - like PhotoBucket, photo sharing site Webshots (a CNET property) has also caught the online video wave. Ning - Netscape founder Marc Andreesen's latest venture recently turned its focus onto video features and in some sense became a player in the online video sharing space as well. iFilm was acquired by Viacom, the owner of MTV Networks, in October 2005. The site claims to get more than 10 million visitors per month. MetaCafe - Israel based company is estimated to be the second biggest player in this space after YouTube. The company does not limit itself to its home country and has big international ambitions. It was recently rumoured to be acquired by Yahoo for $200M. The company is backed by top tier VC companies like Benchmark Capital and Accel Partners. MetaCafe does not have a time limitation like YouTube, and offers a rich desktop client for easy uploading. Their unique revenue sharing program was a great innovation in this space. DailyMotion - The number one video sharing site in France is also a key player in the global arena. Allows 150MB of video upload and has a larger default video size. GoFish - Publicly traded company is worth $126M as of this writing. Its popularity is well below others though. Dave.tv - The site wants you to program your own channel with your favourite movies, music and clips, then broadcast it from your web page, blog or MySpace. This is a well thought through viral marketing tactic, but the site's traffic seems low at this time. Some of the upcomers in video sharing are: Vimeo, VideoJug, Kewego, China's Yoqoo, Revver,Veoh, iBloks, VidiLife, Blip.TV, VodPod, Fliqz. Image from Go2Web20.net Intermediaries Do you think you can legally host your commercial videos on YouTube or MetaCafe? The short answer is no. For professional use, you'll need to contact intermediary companies to do this job for you. Their main duty is to connect publishers, video creators and advertisers. BrightCove connects video creators with web publishers. This is a huge company that raised ~ $60M from investors including New York Times in their latest round of financing. Their syndication marketplace consists of 1319 channels as of this writing. NBBC - powered by NBC, connects businesses that create video with businesses that want video, in other words a video marketplace. Note: the logo can mislead you and take you to a porn site; onbbc.com. Be careful, and I humbly recommend that NBBC switch to another logo! VideoEgg - Connecticut based company empowers the video publishing of big consumers like TED events, Bebo, Hi5 and America Online. Raised $12M in Series C from August Capital and Josh Kopelman's First Round Capital. Roo.TV is yet another big player in the video intermediaries field. They are traded in NASDAQ (RGRP) and their market value is $90M as of this writing. Some of their partners are Pioneer, Verizon, Warner Bros. Maven Networks partners include 20th Century, The Weather Channel, TimeOut New York, Walt Disney, Nike, and Sony Pictures. Accel Partners and General Catalyst Partners invested $10M in this company in 2004. NarrowStep is traded in OTC and currently has a market valuation of $41M. Partners include Land Rover. Other players include thePlatform and The FeedRoom, which empowers top companies like HP, Wal-Mart, Sun, USA Today. Video Search Google Video - after the acquisition of YouTube, Google now focuses its Google Video property on video search. This is a smart strategy, because the Google brand largely means search. YouTube was already the number one video sharing site and Google Video has exclusive access to all YouTube and Google Video data - which makes Google Video search much superior to others. AOL Video Search is a successful video search service from AOL. AOL had this capability after acquiring the successful startup Truveo in early 2006. blinkx differs itself from the crowd with its innovative interface, which shows a preview of videos in the search results. They also get satisfactory results from a variety of sites. Pixsy is a successful, independent video search startup. It returned satisfactory results in our test queries. Mamma - the site claims to provide lots of search options, but their focus is video. In our tests it was satisfactory. ClipBlast claims to have the largest online video collection, but the results don't back this up. TV Eyes is different, because it crawls not video sharing sites like YouTube - but real TV channels. Video eCommerce Video eCommerce sites allow you to legally stream the latest cinema movies and TV shows from your computer. Guba was one of the first to enter this market, being founded in 1998. They are not only a video eCommerce site, but have free offerings and also a video sharing component. But video sharing on Guba is very small compared to video eCommerce. One of Guba's co-founders left the company after the YouTube acquisition and said in an interview that YouTube won the big prize - and there will be no more big prizes in the industry! Amazon Unbox can be easily described as the iTunes of videos. Unbox allows you to preview and buy a wide selection of TV shows and movies for very low prices, starting from $1.99. The videos can be watched via an exclusive client app from Amazon. MovieFlix offers videos in Real format. They offer 2 membership programs: free and premium. Besides the freely accessible videos, you can pay a monthly fee of $7.99 and access their 4000 titles - the quality is arguable though. Vongo - if you are not a US resident, don't even try visiting their site. Well, you can use proxy servers, but Vongo has strict access restrictions - not only limited by browser and OS types, but also your location. The service works in USA only and they are known for their TV spots. The service requires you to install a client, then you pay $9.99 per month to get access to an unlimited number of movies. MovieBeam is yet another video sharing site. It is pay per watch based and the prices start from $1.99. This is another crowded market. Other players include MovieLink, CinemaNow, MarketBeam and the video eCommerce offerings of bigcos like Apple, Real and WalMart. Also, the Venice Project (Joost) from the Skype founders is targeting this market. Check out a recent Techcrunch comparison to review some of companies mentioned under this category. Video Creation & Editing You have videos, but how do you edit them? Are you willing to stick with desktop apps and pay hundreds of dollars in license fees? The Web is the answer again. The following sites are generally known to be good companions to video sharing sites. JumpCut - this video editing site was acquired by Yahoo right after it got to its public beta status. It is expected to be embedded into Yahoo Video. This will bring a clear editing advantage to Yahoo over the others. Yahoo is currently far behind Google in the video space overall, so they should hurry up and integrate JumpCut! EyeSpot - was invested in by Michael Robertson of mp3.com and Yahoo's JumpCut acquisition increases our expectations for this company to get bought by Google. The mix system would also be handy for MySpace's core user group, musicians who shoot their clip and then remix it to publish on their MySpace page. So News Corp is another potential acquirer. Lycos Mix - no, Lycos is not dead. Lycos Mix, along with Lycos Cinema, is designed to take Lycos to the next level in the online video space. Dabble - It's not exactly video editing, but playlist making with other videos fetched from video sharing sites. Mojiti - China based company was covered recently by Read/WriteWeb. It allows you to add notations to your videos. Mojiti is also a video sharing site targeting the Chinese market. Other players include, but not limited to, MovieMasher, MotionBox, Canopus and Avid. Rich Media Advertising Another hot area is rich media advertising. This is the field that will pump blood (=money) to all other services. Rich Media Advertising can consist of advanced computer science techniques like voice recognition (speech to text) and visual object recognition. We will just list the names, as most of them are very early stage.  Google and AdBrite are the major players. aQuantive (a $2B company traded at NASDAQ), KlipMart, PostRoller, eyeWonder, eyeBlaster, DoubleClick, adInterax (acquired by Yahoo! last year), padaddies, pointroll are other players. P2P Peer to peer is taking an important place in video sharing. Video sharing requires large bandwidth, which is why the burn rate of these sites is very high and only the VC backed ones survive. P2P is an answer to this problem, by spreading the bandwidth weight to clients using this system. There have been some recent large investments in companies working in this field. BitTorrent - Creators of the popular open source P2P file sharing protocol do not own the protocol itself, but own one of the most popular clients and a search site. They recently got $20M funding from top tier firms like Accel Partners and acquired another popular bittorrent client µTorrent. Azureus - Creators of the Java based popular open source bittorrent client, Azureus is now entering the web space with Zudeo. They recently closed a $12M Series B investment from RedPoint Ventures and BV Capital. Kontiki is a VeriSign company. Video Streaming So who do you think serves you all these videos? Video hosting is not an easy job! Akamai is known as the world leader and serves big customers including Microsoft, Google and Yahoo. The company is traded on NASDAQ and has a market cap of $9B. Limelight is the site that powers YouTube, MySpace, iFilm and many others. They are growing fast and their last investment round was $130M, led by Goldman Sachs. VitalStream was bought by Internap in 2006 for $217M. Others include Savvis and RawFlow Vlog-o-sphere Blogs and photologs have already taken over many peoples lives - being an excellent way to share, communicate and self-express. And now with the commodization of digital cameras, comes the vlogs - a.k.a. video blogs.. They are either for fun or self expression, but a big industry can blossom here - there are a lot of opportunities. Tomorrows vlogs, for example, are candidates to replace your favourite daily TV shows. And popular vlogs don't just attract ads, but they also hold the potential to sign partnership deals with video sharing sites. Examples: Ask A Ninja - this surprise hit recently become a member of Federated Media, John Battelle's directory of popular blogs. Rocketboom is the best example of how far vlogs can go. This vlog is dedicated to reporting the latest developments in internet culture, in an original and entertaining way. It looks so professional that you may not able to differentiate it from TV shows you watch. Conclusion The list is certainly not complete. And this categorization is subject to change, for example with upcoming stealth mode startups. The innovation and opportunities in the online video industry are endless. Please help us take this list to the next level, by noting other companies you know of in the comments. Originally from Read/WriteWeb, ReBlogged by yatta on Feb 14, 2007 at 1:13 PM Web 2.0 aimed at the enterprise Om Malik has a good post today about a startup called Coghead. Coghead is the Ning for enterprise applications. I have disccusssed many times the adoption of &#8216;web 2.0&#8242; style applications and development at the enterprise level. Essentially what Coghead aims to do is to give the power of application development to the business analyst and project manager, alleviating the need for outsourcing or hiring those pesky developers (wait, I still need a job). Will they be successful? I doubt it. If anyone can break the seal at the enterprise level for a push to SaaS than it will be Google. If anything Coghead is aiming at the wrong market. With experience building large web applications I do not think an applcation can build another application to the extent and customization an enterprise demands. I think Coghead has a better chance at targeting the small business, who cannot afford outsourced application development. But, I&#8217;ve been wrong before &#8212; we&#8217;ll see. Be a Microsoft Access / Excel replacement &#8212; not an enterprise web developer replacement. technorati tags:coghead, web2.0, enterprise, software, tools What is Jay-Z's best album? Jay-Z is widely considered the GOAT of hip-hop, except for some nostalgic purists who still like to throw out old school names as contenders, and one editor who calls Eminem the greatetst rapper alive in order to stir up controversy.  The big discussion (at least on blogs and message boards) has now shifted from "Who's the greatest", to "Which album is the greatest's greatest"? To answer that, I created a this-or-that style poll on Ning that pairs up Jay's albums against each other. I figure his best album will be the one that can beat all the others head-to-head. It worked for Lion-O, so why not with music? Go and vote at JayZmusic.ning.com! So far, the top winner is Reasonable Doubt, and the worst loser is the Best of Both Worlds 2. No surprises there, yet. Ning's redesign makes creating social Web sites much easier Ning, the Palo Alto start-up that lets you build "social applications" for free, has gotten a lot easier to use. This is the company co-founded by Marc Andreessen (of Netscape fame) and Gina Bianchini, which launched back in October, and took criticism for being too difficult to use for regular joes (you needed to know programming for some of it). But in their update announced today, you will see how easy they have made it to create all kinds of applications, featuring all sorts of mashups. We created two different applications, Silicon Valley Dating, and Bob's Restaurants, each with four clicks. We skipped a lot of the possible personalization, but the ease of use is impressive. (One nit: Ning says you can make your sites private, but it wasn't clear to us how to select this option).There's a lot going on at Ning; so much that it can be slightly jarring for the newcomer not used to having tag clouds, boxes of friends and toolbars following them around. Each created application stays within Ning, another reason you get the feeling there's a lot of action. You can search any application with a new search bar. You can also see who is using each Ning app, and can add them as friends in your address book, from within the app. Your profile follows you around as you jump from app to app. A space on your profile lets you connect with friends (see partial screen shot below). Also new are ways to bookmark and build and share new applications. We caught up with Gina several months ago, who told us she'd added the ability for users to run their own ads -- a right that costs $7.95 a month. Ning is also selling premium services, including the right to map your own domain name to Ning, the ability to hide your source code and to get more storage and bandwidth. This is the sort of thing you will have to go in and play with yourself, and see whether you like it.

Fun with Math at GoDaddy I was the fastest adder of numbers in my third grade class in Taipei. There's a plaque in my mother's attic that says so. Back then, 15 < 109. But now? That's not always the case any more.Have you seen GoDaddy's shared hosting prices? $15/month gets you 200 GB of storage with a 2000 GB data transfer limit. Not to mention a free .info domain. On the other hand, a $109 dedicated server includes only a 120 GB hard drive and 500 GB of bandwidth. Plus that .info domain costs $1.99 extra.It's not easy being GoDaddy. Or any other shared hosting provider, for that matter. A list of 93 online storage companies made it to the front page of Digg today; many offer free service. TechCrunch notes that XDrive, in particular, is giving AOL/AIM members 5GB of storage at no cost. Photobucket continues to sign up 65,000 users per day. And Netcraft's latest web server survey shows that Microsoft's Windows Live Spaces and Google's Blogger together added 1.4 million new accounts in July. There's also Ning, where you can clone all sorts of nifty apps in under 30 seconds - and host it for free.Of course, many users would rather pay $15 for GoDaddy's 2000 GB bandwidth offer than $0 for any of the above. The bad news is, such customers could cost GoDaddy a great deal more than their monthly fee. And they'd have no upgrade path. It'd be tough to sell them on a 7x cost increase for 25% of their data transfer limit and 60% of their current storage space. Matt Bross, British Telecom's CTO, said in a Business 2.0 interview that it's a software world; we've got stop thinking hardware. The folks at GoDaddy should listen to the guy. There's got to be better hosting strategies than keeping their fingers crossed that customers won't actually need all that oversold capacity. Öppen marknad med OSS förenklar utvecklandet av APIer.
