A live and recorded video viewing application with interactive chat functionality. The application allows users to login with their Ustream account, view both live Ustream broadcasts and recorded video, and see upcoming Ustream broadcast events. In the application's live section, users can see both featured (selected by Ustream) and top (based on number of viewers) broadcasts, and search for live broadcasts. Live broadcasts can be viewed both vertically and horizontally. Broadcasts with a chatroom will display chat messages from viewers, and allow the mobile application user to send chat messages to the chatroom via the phone.

Good stuff :). I also tried &embed=1 behind a username (for cleaner interface) but that doesn't work (yet?). BTW what screen resolution do you run and how big is your screen :)?

Comments Aristochat It all started when we used Slicehost’s chat-room for their support : not only it’s awesome to have 24/7 support, but it’s also great to have a short-message interface that allows real-time discussion and interaction. Unfortunately, Campfire is “proprietary” software and it doesn’t seem to be XMPP based. XMPP is known as THE instant messaging protocol, and it has the fairly well defined and complete Multi User Chat Extension . Also, XMPP has Bosh, which allows transportation of XMPP stanzas over HTTP. From that, there is no reason to think we couldn’t do a Web Based Multi User Chat, with just 1 HTML page, and 1 Javascript and that could be integrated in any web framework in just a few seconds : meet Aristochat. The great thing about Aristochat is that it’s just a MUC client, which means that you can connect (and manage) to the room as well from your favorite XMPP client (like Psi Gajim or Adium). Check the Superfeer chat to see an example. And, yes, Aristochat is...

Comments It’s been just under 90 days since Facebook announced it has crossed the 200 million active user mark. Today, that number is somewhere around 240 million, perhaps even close to 250 million. If Facebook were a country, it would now have the 4th largest population in the world. While Facebook has been growing at around 300,00 to 400,000 active users per day for most of the last three quarters, its growth rate seems to have again significantly increased in recent weeks to around 700,000 to 750,000 new users per day based on data we are tracking from Facebook’s advertising tools. If Facebook continues at this rate, it could reach 300 million active users by November. Keep in mind, however, that as has been the case for most of the last year, about 70% of that growth is happening outside the United States. Nevertheless, Facebook still grew at an 8% monthly clip in the US in May, up to nearly 70 million active users today. In addition, Facebook has recently released updated...

Filed under: Blu-ray The British Video Association is back with some more happy stats on how well Blu-ray is doing, claiming 3.1 million discs sold since the start of 2009. Still, even with a claimed 231% jump over last year's YTD figures, that hasn't offset a 9.5% drop in sales of DVDs. that should move the needle well past last year's figures, where only 1.5 million were reportedly moved by October, but we doubt that's much comfort to employees of the nearly 900 retailers that have closed this year. Even with consumers "continuing to spend money on the product" once they've experienced it, according to BVA director general Lavinia Carey, expect a greater focus on downloads to offer an alternative to piracy, though no word on when that can be expected. UK Blu-ray sales up 231% over last year originally appeared on Engadget HD on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:12:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

AP - Colin Daymude was out of work last year after his business failed and eagerly filed his taxes in mid-January, figuring he'd get his refund sooner. He was wrong.

With all the brouhaha over hashtags on FriendFeed, I thought I'd dig up a video I did on it back in 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch...
One of my favorite graphic novels/series of all time. I had a nice hardback edition of the book and some jackass stole it from me. Haven't read it in many years. I just love Alex Ross' artwork. I also have the "Marvels" series in hardback as well.

More than a simple aggregation tool and social network, FriendFeed has grown to be one of the deepest social databases on the Web, taking in information from more than 50 different social sites, including blogs, status updates, photos, presentations and video, and making it searchable. The service moved its core product to real-time a few months ago, and has now taken a big leap forward in also making its search results real-time, letting you see how people from around the Web are engaging and talking about topics, covering much more than "just Twitter", which so far has been the go-to destination for real-time response. Best of all, the service isn't asking you to change the way you do searches, and all saved searches on FriendFeed work, but they now execute in real-time and continue live updating as new entries are added to the service. For example, I could now embed a vanity search in my blog and see it in real time, thanks to FriendFeed. As you can no doubt guess, popular...

According to an AT&T company memo, the launch of the iPhone 3GS wasn't just a banner sales day for the carrier this year but broke records for any single day of retail sales in the company's history -- including for already stellar iPhone sales.
