For those looking for an alternative to the rather lengthy list of video players already available to web publishers, Userplane is certain its new and ingeniusly named Mediaplayer will appeal to those looking to bring video content to their respective websites. If you are a fan of existing Userplane applications, then Mediaplayer could certainly be right up your alley.
Userplane is a direct subsidiary of the AOL group, and has been slowly building a library of publishing applications since 2001. Currently Userplane has a gaggle [...]

The museum of modern betas (MOMB ) is one really cool place to get a "heads up" on upcoming startups and beta tests. I gathered a short list of new startups that might just add some fun and/or utility to your day. We review so many sites that are fantastic innovations and some that have the ability to change the way we think about Web 2.0, but there are plenty that are just plain fun and that are not designed [...]

UnLtd World is a new beta that I was invited to test today. This charity based social network has a vision to be a platform for social entrepreneurs and a base for socially minded people to interact. My first impression of the site (outside the slick design) was skeptical I must say. My vision of the next social network, if we ever need another, has been something possessing unprecedented flexibility and function. While UnLtd does not possess Web [...]

Razoo, a new goal oriented community for causes that raises awareness and promotes positive action. The public beta allows caring people to create or join causes they deem worthy. This is not a new concept but this is one of the best efforts out there for "actually" doing something good and being effective. There is no shortage of worthy causes in the world, but all too often there is no hub or tool to take action - Razoo is aimed [...]

Jimdo is a super simple web site creation tool that uses the power of Ajax to help users create striking pages quickly and easily. The site was just re-launched with design changes and a small social element that allows users to browse other Jimdo pages easily. Other improvements include; page search, tag clouds, page rankings and various other methods for navigating the world of Jimdo pages.
The bottom line for these type sites for me is: “Does it do the job well?” [...]

Yippykya is a new social networking site that has been in beta since June. The startup allows users to make money, find friends and get discovered as artists. I signed up for the service some time ago and have watched the user base expand substantially. John Reger CEO of Yippykya envisioned a site where branding and retail techniques could help budding artists. Socialization and personal discoverability are the heart of this funny and interesting artist discovery site. Yippy has launched their communiy in Houston, but other [...]

Back on the testing trail I ran across Web-Chops, a cool capture tool that lets users “chop” any element from individual pages and perform mashups on their Web-Chop pages. This service is in public alpha right now and I must say that it is not only fun but has some interesting potential. I chopped out some beautiful ladies from one of the top 50 lists in no time and supplied the result in a screen below titled “Web-Lamb-Chops.”

This service is [...]

WiZiQ is an online tutoring startup that offers a real time environment to allow students and teachers to interact. The site uses a virtual classroom equipped to utilize 2 way audio, text chat, whiteboard, PowerPoint and PDF document sharing together or independently. This simple and easy to use education tool makes one to one teaching and learning remotely about as easy as it gets. Teachers can build a profile, build a learning network and expand their earning potential, while students find help [...]

We just got an invite to test Tutorom a new elearning beta being developed by vtc.com. Tutorom is designed to allow anyone to create and deliver elearning content for free. According to VTC, a computer software training site, the developers will be adding a training library of over 55,000 video tutorials and also content for schools and business. 
The premise is interesting in that any user can create an elearning course and either charge for them, restrict access or make the courses public. Advertising [...]
