[videoblogging] Scratch:

2007-05-14 Thread Steve Watkins
Saw this on BBC news, this sort of thing interests me, I like to
ponder a future where the web is far more a part of how we create
video, as well as how we share and watch it. This is sort of relevent:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6647011.stm

"A free programming tool that allows anyone to create their own
animated stories, video games and interactive artworks has been launched.

Primarily aimed at children, Scratch does not require prior knowledge
of complex computer languages. "

Ah yes and as you can see from the BBC article, the Beeb are finally
using flash video on their site a lot, as opposed to the near total
reliance on realmedia. This may not be an extremely new development
but its the first time Ive noticed. Mmmm widescreen :)

Cheers

Interesting from a Usability point-of-view.
