Published by Lev Detrez under internet, web 2.0

Send Tweets by dialing a local number and speaking your message to TwitterFone. Sweet!

Sweet indeed!

Unfortunately not for Belgium…

Live stream from Next Web Conference

Published by Lev Detrez under internet, technology, web 2.0

As not all fans live in or nearby Amsterdam, we’ve come up with a solution. We’re going to live stream it. We’re serious here, this is not a live stream with a mobile client using Qik or Ustream, no this is the real stuff. We’ve teamed up with NOS, Cross Media Ventures, Team.tv, and TechCrunch (media partner), to make this stream available for thousands and thousands of people, no matter where you live. The infrastructure used here is similar to the infrastructure used for massive events like upcoming European Soccer Championships and the Olympic Games, so we’re prepared for huge crowds.

Oh yeah

But this is all about to change… Read more on mediaweek.com

RSS in plain English

Published by Lev Detrez under technology, web 2.0

This is a really interesting video about RSS. This buzz word is often used, but it’s hard to explain to non-internet-wizards.

My personal (web-based) tool to organize my feeds is Netvibes.
