Berlinblase summarized in one Moo card
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Berlinblase is back. But as of now, we have a Moo card that says it all:

Not enough info? There’s (a bit… work in progress…) more on Berlinblase > About, as well as a brief intro to the crew.
Next-generation content management for newspapers (is in the making)
Steve Yelvington helps newspapers get the web. Newspapers have a hard time adapting the new ways of the web, what with all this user-generated content, changing consumer habits and dropping sales. It’s a huge cultural problem - traditional vs new vs social media - too. (And it’s not that newspapers, their editors or their management […]
Ubiquity brings text back to browsing, let’s you mash up everything
Fresh from the Mozilla labs, Ubiquity looks like one of those plugins that might seriously change the way we do stuff on the web, or rather: in our browsers. It’s a new user interface that comes as a Firefox plugin, and it allows you to “ask” your browser for stuff by text. Sounds kind of… […]
The sun is Constantly Setting (watch it)
Out of Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino’s lab comes Constant Setting, a beautiful Flickr-based mashup. Constant Setting shows us photos (released under Creative Commons, tagged on Flickr with sunset and a location), from those places where the sun is setting right now. So what happens is, you get to see a never-ending flow of sunset photos from all […]
Downing Street 10 relaunches, goes all Web 2.0
Downing Street 10, the British Prime Minister’s office, has just announced a relaunch of their website. The new website is full of web-two-ishness: Prominent space for video (via Brightcove), Flickr integration, YouTube, Twitter, blog, you name it.

As I’m testing it, the intro video about the new site won’t play, but by […]
Tooltips for syncing slides and video
VCASMO is a pretty neat tool to sync video and slides. Just sayin’. VCASMO syncs videos fromm youtube or similar sources, and slideshows from slideshow.com. It’s a great little mashup, the results can be embedded either 440 pixels wide (as seen above) or 850 pixels wide:
Then there’s the Adobe Air based service Parleys, which looks […]
Twitter plus Flash as a simple CMS
Patrick, one of the awesome flashers here at Panorama3000, has coded this neat flash website for an actor friend of his. Usually I’m not a huge fan of flash sites for all the well-known issues around flash (no direct links, lousy accessibility etc). What I like about this one, though, is its smart implementation of […]
Mobile apps I’d like someone to build
Part one of my new series “mobile apps I’d like someone to build“, where I’m going to collect all those mobile apps I’d love to use, but can’t build myself. On my Blackberry I’m kind of restricted in terms of mobile apps, so I might have to switch to an iPhone or some flavor of […]
Mashup Online Magazine That Writes Itself
That’s an art project I’d love to see one of these days: An online magazine that writes itself, based on a calendar, a pre-written set of tags connected to the calendar, and a bunch of RSS feeds.
Imagine, just for simplicity’s sake, a lifestyle magazine for women. (Of course, every other type of magazine would […]
