Deportalization and Internet Advertising
Glam hired a new guy today. Techcrunch, VentureBeat and PaidContent all posted about it. All of the reporting on this hire focus on Glam's coup in getting their man, and on their profitability heading into Q4. There is little in the way of analysis, which is probably quite reasonable on a news-filled Monday morning here on the West Coast.. As TechCrunch's Jason Kincaid reports: Glam Media h...
Real Time Streams
John Borthwick has captured in words what many have been grappling with in a less articulate way for about 18 months. The new paradigm we need to think about the internet has finally emerged. This snippet outlines the broad trend: Start with this constant, real time, flowing stream of data getting published, republished, annotated and co-opt’d across a myriad of sites and tools. The s...
In Defense of “nothing”
Columnist Henry Porter is generally considered to be a wise observer of the human condition. Today, in an article in the UK Guardian owned Sunday, The Observer, he blew it ..... badly. As a newspaper man he ought to have been aware of his almost certain bias and perhaps counted to ten before pushing "send". And, given that he didn't,  his editor should have saved him from himself after the fact,...
RSS has peaked! – Forrester. Nope, it hasn’t! – Me
Forrester released a report today ($279 download if you want it). Titled "What's holding RSS back?" it claims that only 11% of Internet consumers use RSS and that those who have not don't understand it. Steve Rubel at Micro Persuasion responds that : "..while feed adoption may have crested the idea of online opt-in communications is just getting going. The Facebook newsfeed, Twitter and Frie...
OpenID and Data Portability
Nicolas Popp - a leading advocate of Open Identity and data solutions - posted on his VeriSign blog today following the rather heated discussions that have ensued since Google announced its Friend Connect product recently. Nico's employer - VeriSign - along with Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, AOL and others, is a member of the board of the OpenID foundation.Nico's primary argument (emphasis mine) is...
Google and the newspapers
Over the long labor day weekend Google announced a serious change in the way Google News will relate to the various wire services and the newspaper industry. The change could have a dramatic impact on the traffic Google News sends to newspaper web sites. There have been several commentaries on the developments and Techmeme has been a great source tracking them. The New York Times, ironica...

fotonauts in the wild

Posted By: Keith Teare on September 18, 2008 in Internet - Comments: 0 Comments

In spite of Mike banning us from competing for any of the prizes at TechCrunch50 (due to my shareholding in both TechCrunch and fotonauts and so a perceived conflict of interest) Jean-Marie Hullot, David Rosenblatt and I had a great time at the event last week. We showed the world fotonauts for the first time, launching the private beta of the Mac and Windows application and the web service. To top it all CNet (which had no conflict) put us in the top ten companies from both TechCrunch50 and DEMO.

You can see Jean-Marie’s 8 minute presentation, sign up to be invited to the private beta and read the press coverage: here.

But, perhaps more exciting than all of that, we just released the widget publishing element of fotonauts into the wild. Joi Ito was the first to go live with it on his blog – here and here.

In honor of the moment, here is Joi’s experimental FreeSouls widget. In the spirit of the fotonauts project, all pictures are creative commons licensed and so I can re-produce them here for your viewing pleasure.

And here is my experimental TechCrunch50 Album:

We have many thousands of requests to be invited to the private beta – thank you – and we expect to start releasing invites during October. I’ll get more precise as the exact dats become clear.
