You do need to download a 1MB Flash plugin for Gizmo Call to work, so it's not a download-free browser app. However it's a once-only install and it lowers the bar for consumers wanting to start using VoIP. I myself am trying to use VoIP more in my life and telling family members about it too (of course poor broadband service is an issue here in my country!). Gizmo Call is a nice step forward in VoIP, because users don't need to download a big client and run a traditional installer. They don't even need to setup an account. After the Flash plugin is installed, users can immediately make calls - albeit limited to 5 free minutes of calling per day "to just about any phone number". They can get 10 minutes free calling if they register with an email address and can also buy Call Out minutes. Besides PSTN phones, Gizmo Call users can call for free Google Talk users, Windows Live users, Gizmo Project users and any SIP address/device. There's also a feature enabling users to customize their CallerID, so when they make a web call it can appear to come from their mobile or office phone. Plus, being a browser-based service, users can integrate Gizmo Call into their blogs and social network pages. |

SpashCast
(Posted in: Miscellaneus)|
Each channel of content also has a RSS feed, so interested viewers can subscribe to it and not have to come back to your website for access. Splashcast will host content directly, but the real utility comes from plugging in videos from Youtube, photos from Flickr, etc., so that you can keep your media where you want to and not have to copy it over to Splashcast. You can even add voice overs to any of the show segments as Marshall has done below. |
Minggl

Users can also annotate their social networking pages with “notes” - you can add images, sounds and text to your profile on Facebook or MySpace, all neatly integrated so it looks like part of the profile page. These notes can be made viewable by all Minggl users, or just your friends. Other features includes the ability to jump straight to your various profiles, send messages and invite friends. In short: Minggl is a way to aggregate your friends (a bit like Profilactic) and annotate your profile. |

It's also a content aggregator and you can add files, pull in content via RSS, integrate office content (Zoho Writer, spreadsheets, presentations, calendars, etc) and even full-fledged applications can be aggregated into Notebook - for example from Zoho Creator. In some ways the aggregation parts resemble a personalized start page. The best part of Zoho Notebook though is its collaboration features. You can share a whole Notebook, or just pages - and even just parts of pages, which Raju calls "sharing at the content level". It enables collaborative editing, so that more than one person can edit a notebook at a time. It also has version control too and access controls. A neat value add is that you can show the Skype status of the users. |

Nicktropolis
(Posted in: Games)|
Nickelodeon is launching a new virtual world tomorrow called Nicktropolis. The Second Life comparisons are already being made, and there are also parallels to CBBC World, the virtual world for kids from the BBC. But ultimately, Nicktropolis seems to take more inspiration from Habbo Hotel or Gaia Online. These virtual worlds are smart because they give young users an avatar to hide behind, rather than posting photos as they would on MySpace or Bebo. |
PicksPal
(Posted in: Bet and Gambling Site)|
PicksPal is a free sports site where people “bet” on upcoming games. No money is involved. If they win, their point total goes up and they have bragging rights around the office. Since launching about a year ago over 100,000 people have joined the site, making daily picks on just about every kind of sporting event in the U.S. - boxing, NFL football, pro football, bass fishing, ultimate fighting, basketball, baseball, etc. The site makes money from advertising. |
PicksPop
(Posted in: Bet and Gambling Site)|
The success of PicksPal in particular has been stunning. Friends group together and bet on the winners of upcoming sporting events, or more detailed things like the number of touchdowns in a given game. A small percentage of users on PicksPal tend to be correct in their bets so often that the company started selling their predictions last year. It’s no surprise, then, that PicksPal is expanding and launching a pop culture version of its sports betting site. The new site, called PicksPop, allows users to bet on things like “Will Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee get back together?” (pays 100/1), “Will Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt announce their separation?” (also 100/1), and “Will 24 be in the Top 10 for the week?” (pays 1/1). All bets are for points, and each user gets 1,000 points to start. Top ranked users are listed on here. |
The Find
(Posted in: Search / Visual Engine Services)|
Like most people these days, we had grown accustomed to using search engines to find just about anything. But something was not right - when we wanted to shop, we would get frustrated at having to wade through a zillion text links to find the products we wanted. The constant clicking back and forth would drive us slightly crazy. Plus, we were never quite sure that we were seeing all of the products available on the web - we were probably missing out on a lot of stores that didn't want to pay to be listed. Something had to change. Introducing our solution - TheFind.com! We developed a shopping search engine that delivers comprehensive lists of products and their corresponding images, ranked by the leading products, brands, stores and styles on the very first page of results. We call this technology our "Product Ranking Engine." Our unbiased "Product Ranking Engine" crawls over 500,000 stores to find over 150 Million products web-wide.At TheFind.com, we believe that shoppers should have access to all of the products on the web - not just the ones that pay to be there. With our unbiased and objective "Product Ranking Engine" technology, we have made that dream a reality. Our patent-pending technology ranks the product results for your searches by the most relevant and market-leading products, brands, stores and styles for your search. These rankings can never be bought or sold. So you can feel comfortable knowing that you are covering a ton of ground in just one search. Plus, we provide large images of these leading products so you can easily see exactly what you are shopping for. No more wading through millions and millions of text links - the best matches for your search are easily visible and are right there on the first page! We take care of the science, so you can enjoy the art of shopping! For the past three years, our engineers have created, tested and refined the technology under the proof-of-concept site FatLens.com. The first application of our "Product Ranking Engine" was applied to event tickets. Based on rigorous testing and extensive design modifications, we are excited to launch our new, comprehensive shopping search engine as TheFind.com. |

There are many sites that sell customized casino chips (just do a search), b

The creation tool is very flexible and layer based. It’s not as powerful as new online image editor Fauxto, which is also Flash based, but it does the job. |

The new product allows visitors to quickly design their own Tshirt using uploaded or stock images, text and special characters. If you like you can buy just one - a men’s standard Tshirt, designed to your specifications, costs $15. Store owners can also create their own version of the design tool, with pre-uploaded images and custom pricing. We’ve created one - see the TechCrunch Tshirt store here. Upload your own images and have at it - any proceeds we receive from sales of Tshirts will go to charity. |
WidgetBox
(Posted in: Blog Addon / Indexing Services)|
The idea is a timely one: Widgetbox is building a marketplace for web widgets to place on blogs, websites, eBay auctions and social networks. The service aims to connect the developers of these widgets with web users, taking a cut whenever transactions are involved - these situations could include subscription-based widgets or affiliate links. Around 100 widgets are currently listed, and they’re supporting every technology - HTML, JavaScript, AJAX, Flash and Java Applets. Examples include the Flash-based horoscope widget from WeLoveWidgets, the latest news from Newsvine, the top stories on Digg and a sudoku game for your visitors. The widget at the bottom of this post, for example, displays the latest posts from Mashable. In fact, many of the widgets are RSS based, allowing you to quickly reproduce content from other sites - the only cost is that all the widgets carry a Widgetbox logo. |
ClearSpring
(Posted in: Blog Addon / Indexing Services)|
The tracking is extremely detailed: they’ll record metrics like the number of views, user interaction and “viral spread”, which is essentially how a widget is being distributed from one user to another. But they’ll also make it super easy to deploy a widget across multiple platforms: at the moment, it’s a lot of work to distribute a module across Netvibes, MySpace, WordPress, Google and the various social networks and start pages (hi5, Piczo, Pageflakes, Multiply, Blogger, Friendster); Clearspring hopes to simplify that. |

You can imagine there being a lot of duplicate discussions, which Wellsphere deals with by allowing members to vote for other users by “endorsing” them. |

Midomi
(Posted in: Search / Visual Engine Services)|
Midomi is a newly-launched service that allows you to sing a song into your microphone and find the title. It does this by comparing your version to song signatures in a database, and allows you to buy the track online. But there’s much more to it than that: Midomi will show you the tracks submitted by other users who made a recording of that that song, allowing you to rate their performances, leave comments, and visit their profile pages. You can also message other users, build a list of favorites and build a network of fans. Submitting a recording is separate from searching - your audio searches aren’t made available to other users - but when you record a track in the studio, this is used to power Midomi’s recognition. Most amazingly, the recognition works, really, really well - much better than competing service Nayio. It’s like a cross between Last.fm and Bix.com, and worth checking out. |

Using state of the art streaming and recording technology, the site presents the highest audio and recording quality with the most advanced sharing capabilities available today. This, with ease of use, provides customers with a fun, complete and exciting online karaoke experience suitable for all music lovers. The kSolo multi-featured online player, delivers sing along lyrics, recording capabilities and sharing capabilities - all you need is a mic, speakers and... a pair of lungs... Other functions include listening to audio version, instrumental versions and more. kSolo is an entirely legal online karaoke service. It has established agreements with leading music publishing companies, allowing access to thousands of titles enabling kSolo to keep a rich and updated song catalog you can search and browse from. You may bookmark and store recordings and may showcase your talent and choose to receive peer critique by participating in the performer showcase. So... whether you're looking to sing in private or are looking to sing karaoke online for an audience, kSolo is the stage for you!!! |
SingShot
(Posted in: Audio / Radio / Music Services,) (Posted in: Social Networking)|
All the basic functionality of the kSolo product is there. Performers can select from a library of songs that are at least about two to three years old, listen to a demo, and record their own version while following along with the lyrics on the screen. The hope is to repeat the success of other social content sites like YouTube by allowing users to share their songs to be voted and commented on by the public. The human filtering will hopefully pick out the Kelly Clarksons in a forest of William Hungs.The big differences in these two services lie in the details. First of all, kSolo spurned Flash, the now-ubiquitous platform for online video, requires a plugin and runs only on Internet Explorer. SingShot runs completely on Flash and works in all browsers, making it a breeze to set up and start running. Users just have change their Flash settings to allow the program access to their mic. While both programs allow performances to be shared, SingShot follows the simple YouTube model and allows a simple cut and paste link or embed, whereas kSolo has a clunky share feature that allows you to email a link or, after a little hunting, embed your entire playlist on a page. |

Betavine is similar to Nokia's open source community, Maemo. It's good to see the traditional mobile companies 'opening up' a bit more in this era of Mobile Web, at least when it comes to development and new apps. |

Upscoop is designed to help you figure out which networks your friends belong to, based on their email address. You give Upscoop your email credentials (including the password) for your AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo email account. Upscoop grabs your contact list, and then searches across a number of social networks and tries to find profile pages of people that you know among the 10 million profiles they’ve indexed across the major social networks. The process of searching is not instantaneous - it actually takes a few hours. Clicking on any result will (sometimes) bring you to the profile page for that person. You can then add them as a friend or otherwise interact with them. |

The company’s business model is dead simple - Artists can upload their music for download on the site. Users download songs, with the starting price at free. When downloads pick up for popular songs, the price starts to rise, all the way up to $0.99. If a song gets to $0.30 or so, you know its popular. The artist keeps 70% of revenues after the first $5 in sales. Amie Street has also released tools to help artists promote their songs, including an embeddable player for any song (see this MySpace page for an example) and a tool to allow artists to create Amie Street song stores on their own websites. |

TechStars
(Posted in: Miscellaneus)|
The thirty of so winning entrepreneurs (TechStars anticipates an average of three founders per idea) will travel to Colorado on May 21, 2007, and spend the summer in Boulder building out their ideas. TechStars will also give each founding group $15,000 in seed funding, and help them locating housing at the nearly University of Colorado, Boulder. TechStars will take 5% of the equity in each startup. This is comparable to YCombinator’s model, where they give $6,000 per founder and take 6-8% of the startups equity. And the model has worked so far, with a number of promising startups launching, and YCombinator-funded Reddit being acquired by Condé Nast last Halloween. TechStars is solidly backed, with investments from David Cohen, Brad Feld, Jared Polis (founder of Blue Mountain and ProFlowers) and David Brown. There’s a long list of mentors as well who’ve promised to help guide startups over the summer. |

Amapedia (By Amazon)
(Posted in: Learning / Wikis Services)|
The site looks pretty raw currently and has little info in it - it is after all brand new. But a wikipedia for products makes perfect sense for Amazon. Who better to spotlight products and gather product information from the community, than Amazon? Another way to look at this: Amapedia could become the next generation of user reviews. User reviews on websites today are relatively rigid and old fashioned, so Amazon may be thinking that Amapedia will be a new platform for user reviews - it may help remove redundancy in reviews, while offering more completeness. We'd like to see a bit more structure in the Amapedia pages, so that it is less chaotic when people edit it. For example add sections to pages. But the fact that tags are there already is fantastic - Amazon is calling this "collaborative structured tagging". |
