Two young guys recently launched a new site, the Tilzy.TV . This new website is actualy serves as an entertainment guide for videos found on the web. Joshua Cohen and Jamison Tilsner were the guys responsible in putting up the website. Both had work experiences in film and television production and pretty much knows the in and outs of the entertainment media.
The site as an entertainment guide contains editorial overviews, preview clips, news, keywords and social recommendations pointing to the best place to find videos online. They identify the entertainment media and editorialize them by providing contents informations to maximize the guide experience of users. They added social and bookmarking elements like ability to rate and comment on contents, video and editorial entries. You can also add friends and view your contact's profiles and stuff.
The site is not an aggregator, just to make things straight. The only videos you'll find in the site are those included as samples when the overview of the original source website was made. You could search the websites they have reviewed so far by looking over at the Resources list or by searching the tag cloud.
Editorial content is the main thing that differentiates Tilzy.TV from a bookmarking site such as StumbleUpon. Without the well researched contents, the site is nothing special. ...more
The beauty of the Internet is that new means of communication are always popping up. Back then it was just email. Then came web chats. Chatting on the internet later on evolved from simple text messages to video messaging. File sharing, social networks and online communities became a norm as well. We have become a global community through our interconnections on the internet.
Take for example this new startup called ooVoo.com . It is basically a video conferencing web tool allowing users to chat, send text and video messages, can make video calls, and engage in video teleconferencing. Most notable feature of the tool is that users can engage in video conferencing with up to five other ooVoo users and the simultaneous sending of video and text messages.
When I first saw ooVoo and the things that it can do, the first thing that came into my mind was that it was similar to Skype. However, I do find ooVoo generally easier to use than Skype. With large buttons, simplified controls, some unique feature like the five people video conferencing thing is a lot of improvement over Skype and other video conferencing tool that is not in beta for that matter. The quality of sound and video is highly noticeable as well. This makes it a very useful tool not only for friendly video chats but as a business tool as well.
Personally, this new and free video conferencing tool is a better way of talking to and interconnecting with friends and family. ...more
