A Techy Feely Approach to Life » Multimedia http://ajwms.edublogs.org Thoughts, words and deeds from a little instructional tech in tennessee Fri, 01 Dec 2006 19:29:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 Connectiveness – more and more and easier and easier http://ajwms.edublogs.org/2006/07/25/connectiveness-more-and-more-and-easier-and-easier/ http://ajwms.edublogs.org/2006/07/25/connectiveness-more-and-more-and-easier-and-easier/#comments Tue, 25 Jul 2006 18:29:11 +0000 ajwms http://ajwms.edublogs.org/2006/07/25/connectiveness-more-and-more-and-easier-and-easier/ While I have argued before with folks about how I don’t want all of my life to be merged (or converged or mind-melded) into one device (read cellphone), it does appear that this is the case for all of the new, emerging apps and services that are in the Web 2.0 camp.

Just today, I have learned that the Wikispaces site now allows for WAY EASY integration of media from such sources as YouTube, Odeo and MySpace. I was so happy when I figured out how to upload and link to an mp3 in the wiki and now, I can add a video greeting from Hellodeo or embed other media with a simple copy-paste-done. Cool.

And, I found Dabble, which appears to be a way to “collect” video from around the web (Google Video, YouTube, Ourmedia, Internet Archive, etc) and connect with folks who have the same interests. Hmmm…more to consider.

Of course there is always SuprGlu for keeping my little Flickr, Blogger, del.icio.us, lastFM self together in one place.

Why do I like convergence on the web but not on my belt?

Worth the download, I thought.

Learned about it on BoingBoing but it is popping up everywhere now.
