Disclaimer: I work for NMC… We are running our Spring NMC Online Conference with a theme that originally floated through the 2007 Horizon Report, what at one time we were calling “The Small Video”. Just in the last few months, I’ve been tracking how much more prevalent the use of video has become as a […]
I found a new cartoon tag line for this blog, on the front page at Live in the Deliirious Cool (no idea what the site is)… I’ll let them bear the brunt of re-use of a published newspaper cartoon. There are two dogs talking, one says, “I had my own blog for a while, but […]
The plans are just in the draft stage, but I’ve gotten an awesome invitation from the Australian Flexible Learning Network to do a speaking tour of the Australia capitol capital cities in October 2007. In this case, I’d be having to fill some rather large, chocolate filled shoes, as this year’s speaker for the series […]

Thanks to a tip from Tim Lauer, I am actually blogging this entry via IM from iChat using imified … slick!
Bryan Alexander writes of Web 2.0 network ecology stories and wonders about the phenomena of discovery, re-use of digital media.

Oddcast provides animated avatars on web pages that can speak and animate from text content. I was recently send a link to a demo where you can pay with it, and hastily recorded the screencast below (she seemed slow to respond on my first try, so you see the results when I pressed “Talk” repeatedly).

It might have been on c|net’s site for 8 years, but I just randomly discovered their “Big Picture” feature — by attaching associated links form their stories, this flash app can create a visual map, showing connected stories or companies featured on their site: For every story published, News.com editors and reporters included relevant links […]
