Ok, so I was kinda charmed by this Ustream video about their new Producer software but then I am easily charmed. But you watch and you decide it is pretty cool to consider that you can have your own TV producing package on your PC or Mac just for those times when you need multi camera functionality switching between pre recorded video and computer screen.
Might be good for Ignite Liverpool to invest in such a piece of software. I wonder what the conversion rate between $ and £ is at the moment…
– WordPress vs. Typepad
– WINNER: WordPress, 2714 votes (Typepad: 267 votes, Tie: 357 votes)
If you are trying to decide which platform to go for then read this on the mashable site for WordPress v’s Typepad. I did recently have to post something to Typepad and cringe – it was not intuitive – clunky in other words, but i had to do it for Liverpool’s Global ignite week – Have a look. It’s an exciting event but at the same time if you want to find out real information about it then go to the How-why-diy Ning
So always go for wordpress.
For a long time I’ve wanted to write about the merits of Google reader, being able to read or listen to the feeds we receive fresh each day.
It is how many people filter their news, in a similar way that they would read there not through the eyes of a newspaper journalist but through the eyes of the trusted friend – the blog that they have read everyday for the last 2-3 years, the blog that they feel they have a relatinship with the writer. It’s more personal than the real newspapers.
When was the last time you cut something out of the newspapaer and stuck in into a scrap book, they way I used to when I was younger, well this is how I use Google reader to keep and share others and my own work. But remember it is only possible with Feeds (possibly the greatest invention since the last greatest invention)
In this age of personalisation we can now use google reader to publish a post we have read and enjoyed to Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Myspace or Email.
(I got this from google reader) – it clearly shows the sharing tools that people most often use. If you don’t use google reader now then do start, cause the next thing you know they’ll be making phones. Duh!

This is so bad of me to copy a page and paste it here, but at the same time my defence is this is just such a great software resource I had to shout about it. Download, play with them and enjoy.
