[backstage] Soundcloud
Hey Guys, Not sure whether anyone has mentioned this already yet, but have you heard of soundcloud? http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/1143-soundcloud-expands-the-audio-player Just signed up myself - I'm sure someone at the BBc made something very similar to this quite a while ago? Have a look... Rob - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group. To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html.

Re: [backstage] Soundcloud
Thanks for sharing this Rob. I am only just coming back down to Earth as everyone else begins the Web 2 journey in to the clouds. :-) Must say that I am intrigued by PicLens. the movement is a little strange for my eyes, but it is great to see more moving beyond the normal browser experience. All this is pointing to a rapid collation and search of good data, which with API, RSS etc. I find it all very exciting. I hope someone releases a metatag license soon, so I can embed my own details in to files, even when copied!

Re: [backstage] Soundcloud
Hello, I'm new here. PicLens is great for Google image searches and, to be honest, not much else. Been using it for about a month, and after the initial wow factor the novelty quickly wears off. As you say, the interface is a little idiosyncratic. Still, respect to the developers, it's a slick plugin. PicLens Lite is a decent, free Flash gallery though if you want to impress [easily impressed] site visitors. Jim
Re: [backstage] Soundcloud
Hi Jim, I agree with what you say. It is a little like the Mac Front Row in essence, but from my side, I like to see pieces of software that join the web experience with the complete OS in a different way. As a surfer, I don't get too excited anymore by the way that Browsers present the info to me. and I have been waiting for good 3d/VR since 1989. :-) My Banksy image search was a good way to pass a few moment whilst working last night. There are some interesting things on Backstage, I hope that you have fun. ATB RichE On 6 Aug 2008, at 14:58, Jim Tonge wrote: Hello, I'm new here.
