Ben takes a photo of himself everyday. Sheer genius.
I’m looking for online (as in on the web) video editing applications. Does this even exist? If you know of any then let me know.
Update: Looks like I found a company that does something vaguely related to what I was looking for. Cuts allows you to remix video by creating cutlists that you can share over the internet. In an interview on the Scoble Show a while back, Evan Kraus explains that although currently you need a thin client, when they launch early next year there will be lots of APIs and he hints at it working in the browser. A tool for disintermediation.
Video of a conversation with Eric Schmidt the CEO of Google at this years Web 2.0 conference. If you have time it’s a really interesting interview. He’s a pretty smart guy. Some quotes:
“As the internet phenomena occurs and all of us are a part of that, it’s beguining to affect industries that really don’t know what to do about it and it’s worth reminding yourself that it’s a mistake to bet against the internet. Don’t bet against the internet.”
“The era of huge, massive servers, which Google and many other companies are now building in these massive server farms are fundamentally going to be more reliable than the things they replace and that shift, which is a very user centric shift, means that the users can get back to whatever they were doing rather than debugging their software. It’s fundamentally better to keep your money in a bank than to keep it in your pocket.”
Quite a few people that read the blog seem to be subscribed through the Google Reader. I might have to give it a try as I’ve heard many good things about it. I like the idea of reading things as a river of news.
I’ve got a head full of great ideas on how to use all these great web technologies that are emerging, a sea of APIs, everything there just waiting to be connected up in interesting ways. All this while listening to the new Beatles album…
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
Here comes the sun everybody!
