FotoFlexer - The Future Of Online Editing?!

September 2nd, 2007 by Gerrit Tebrake

Over the last few months a lot of photo editing services launched. To name a few popular sites: Picnik, Fauxto, Phixr, picture2life. And now a new startup wants to beat’em all - FotoFlexer.FotoFlexer

With FotoFlexer you can easily import and export pictures from social networks (Flickr, Picasa, Facebook, MySpace) and edit them on the go. It seems as if FotoFlexer combines all the great functionalities of other existing sites and bundled them into one masterpiece! I don’t want to say that desktop photo editing is dead, but it has another big competitor. Professionals will probably stick to Photoshop or GIMP however normal people can make use of this sites to edit,share and store photos with ease.

Duel of the Videoportal-Giants

August 30th, 2007 by Robin Tebrake

The video-uploading services like YouTube are taking a big part in the history of the web 2.0. Many people became popular for just uploading a weird video on such a site. So I want to give you a short overview of some big video-sharing services. I compared 7 videoportals in the categories quality and community. I’ve chosen 5 well-known and 2 special-interests portals. I know there are a lot of other good videosites on the internet and maybe, I present them in another article.

If someone talks about video-upload services, the first site everyone mentions is Youtube. It was the first big one and has the largest community. And to reach a wide audience, you should upload your video to this portal. Uploaded videos can have a maximum size of 100MB and a maximum length of 10minutes. The allowed formats are: .wmv, .avi, .mov, .mpg. The quality you can present a video is acceptable but there are better services for high quality videos on the WWW (e.g. Stage6).

Site Of The Week: Anywhere.FM

August 29th, 2007 by Gerrit Tebrake

Anywhere.FMA few weeks ago, the startup Anywhere.FM opened it’s gates for the masses. It’s a service where you can upload single music files or your whole iTunes library (they offer a good tool to manage this) .

You can listen to your uploaded songs, through their intuitive and well-designed online player. Upload, create playlists or find friends and see/hear what music they prefer. I spend a lot of time using their service. I added a few friends to my buddylist, compared our likings and just listened to wonderful songs for hours :) . Until now the site has about 2.7Million uploaded titles and is still growing.

So I warmly recommend you to at least have a look at their beautiful and useful service. Listen to your music from ‘anywhere’ was never easier!

Update: A user called attention to other sites flying out there and offering similar services. If you like Anywhere.FM also see: MediaMaster, Imeem, Streampad, Maestro
