Well, it's not quite as big a deal as Yahoo buying Oddpost, but Google has now bought photo-sharing company Picasa, which was already a Blogger partner. It's not a huge surprise to see Google expanding their offerings in more of the portal direction. The only question, of course, is how many spare Gmail gigs are going to be offered for people storing photos. Also, will people now complain that Google is scanning your personal photos in order to put up relevant advertising?

ETCON 02/10/2004 09:27 PM
Ludicorp (disclosure: I'm an advisor to Ludicorp), whose Game Neverending was one of the most interesting social software projects of the last two years, has just launched a new product, called Flickr, live on-stage at ETCON.

Flikr is a social image-sharing application: it's a mechanism for creating ad-hoc chats, using a drag-and-drop GUI interface that lives inside your browser, and share images from peer-to-peer and within conversational groups.

I've beta-tested this at various points and at each time I've been struck by Ludicorp's amazing combination of utilitarian, usable interface aesthetic and genuinely witty whimsy. As Ben Ceivgny, a developer on the project, said:

We collect images with cameraphones and so forth, but we have no good mechanism for advancing them out into the world. Here's a mechanism for batching them into a locked-and-loaded tool for firing them into the world.

Photo Sharing Gone Wild

Photo Sharing Gone Wild 06/25/2004 05:10 PM
“Moblogs are weblogs that typically feature grainy, low-res photos taken with cell phone cameras. People e-mail the images from their phones to a site like Fotolog, Plogger, or TextAmerica, where their pix can be immediately seen and ridiculed (or praised) by complete strangers. Besides offering instant, if limited, celebrity, moblogs provide a unique form of spontaneous photojournalism. They can also be downright weird.”

photo syndication tools 07/15/2004 05:31 AM
Ludicorp, who make the awesome Flickr photo-sharing service, have signed a deal with Feedburner to develop new tools and standards for syndicating photos -- and they've released their first technology, called "splicing." (Disclosure: I am on Ludicorp's advisory board)

Splicing gives people the ability to offer a single RSS feed which contains a chronologically ordered arrangement of their photostream from Flickr and the feed from their existing blog (so you might end up with something like blog post, blog post, photo, photo, photo, blog post, photo, blog post, photo, photo, and so on).

Part of the story is this: photos are a perfect application of RSS. You can stick an html reference to a photo into a feed right now, but our namespace will allow for passing along the social context of the image: the raw pixels have value, but the title, description, comments, tags and notes, along with things like EXIF data add a whole other dimension of value.

Yahoo Acquires Musicmatch Inc. 09/14/2004 10:04 PM
Internet heavyweight Yahoo has just announced that it will be acquiring Musicmatch Inc. for $160 million in cash. Set to close in Q4 of this year, the deal will see Musicmatch Inc. become a direct subsidiary of the expanding California based company.

Plans include integrating Musicmatch' existing on-line radio network and music store into the popular "Yahoo Launch" service. Yahoo CEO Dennis Mudd commented that "...combining assets with Launch, we believe that Musicmatch will have an even stronger position to take advantage of the rapidly growing digital music segment."

Musicmatch currently sells around 1.5 million digital songs per month through its online music portal. Yahoo will undoubtedly make a push to bring that number up, trying to lure users away from competing portals like iTunes and Rhapsody.
