Quick Screen recording with Screenjelly

It is always a great to see a project that you have been working on go live. Today is such a day. Veodia, a company I have been actively advising is finally launching Screenjelly. Screenjelly is the result of Veodia's acquisition of the French company Screentoaster.

The idea behind is very simple, we all find ourselves in the situation where we are trying to explain to others what is going on our our desktop. For instance, a software that you downloaded got stuck, a program you are using freezes or you get lost when using a web service. That is when screenjelly can come handy. Instead of rather trying to explain to people what the problem is in words, you just Screenjelly it and share it over Twitter or Facebook etc to get feeback.

Some of the user scenarios that I see is for Screenjelly is:

• Bug reporting
• A developer that want so share some cool code he is working on
• Web designer needing quick feedback on a design he is working on
• Alternative to support ticket
• Consumer feedback on Web services or software
• When you just want to show something cool on your desktop
• You name it

Big congrats to my good friend Guillaume Cohen and the fabulous Veodia team for this very simple but useful service!

MX Play - 3D Audio Mashups

Last week I meet with Ruper Dolasia CEO and Marcy Keenan, VP Business development of MX Play - a new and very cool music player based in San Francisco. At first I asked myself, who needs another music player? But MX Play is different from other players out there in that they have really emphazised on the audio quality. The founders have a strong background in working with audio codex and technologies - and you can hear that.

MX Play makes you music come alive with 3D audio. For serious music lovers this is music to your ears. But there's more to it than that. MX Play even lets you mash your own music with videos from YouTube and let's you discover new music as well.

• Mash your music with videos in the 3D AudioSpace
• Organize and import  your music from anywhere
• Browse the web in MX Play and discover new music

Outsourcing My life: Comments via Video By Loic Le Meur

After my blog post followed by my video post on outsourcing my life. Loic responded in a brilliant way. He created a video comment on my video and challenged me to continue the conversation with him and our viewers via video. What a great idea!

As you can see from Loic's comment, he too  decided to join the outsourcing my life idea and I connected him with Brickwork as well. We're now both on the way on this experiment and I will update you all tomorrow via video on how it goes.

BTW, check out the great video/TV site vpod.tv - Loic's & my video is now on their front page. Stay tuned - another coming tomorrow.
