(Note: Marty’s coverage of this podcast here.)
Another podcast! Alas, the program remains nameless, and there has been no meaningful feedback. We forged ahead nonetheless, and now we’ve created even more discussion around cloud computing and live video broadcast to the web. Give a listen:
Topics:
- Loren is considering alternatives to Justin.tv for his live video needs. Does anyone know anything about Stickam or Ustream?
- Google FriendConnect: Webmaster’s Godsend, or Evil Empire Play? Facebook certainly doesn’t like it…
- Loren broadcast his entire day yesterday, including home-brewing some beer, playing some old-school video games, a health round of drinking games, and then some chick shenanigans
- Loren also likes to embed a Backnoise channel under his live videos for easy chat support/interaction
- Marty spent a long time trying to get Canadian sports with web hackery, and then discovered via a local blog, The Burgh Report, that Justin.tv is full of people (illegally) rebroadcasting pretty much all sports
- Marty discusses at length his experiences with cloud technologies, particularly Google AppEngine and how badly they have hobbled the excellent Django web development framework for Python
- Lastly, the guys discussed the new GPS, connected, crowd-sourced mapping device, the Dash, and how cool it is that it was built on the open cell network framework, OpenMoko
Now gimme some comments!
