Ooyala's Expansion to Australia

Ooyala is an online video platform company, that has raised $42 million, from existing and new investors, to accelerate its global expansion. Most recently that expansion includes Australia. Among the reasons why Ooyala is expanding into Australia is, the 18 million Internet users that also speak English. This is such a benefit because of the number of Internet users that are also potential content creators.





Ooyala was founded by former Google employees:

• Belsasar Lepe, Co-Founder & Lead Engineer (former Google Systems Engineer),
• Bismarck Lepe, Co-Founder & President Product Strategy (former Google Senior Product Manager) and
• Sean Knapp, Co-Founder & President of Technology (developed & launched iGoogle for Google).

Why YouTube's 'Lean Back' Matters

YouTube introduced its new living room play "YouTube Lean Back" in anticipation of the launch of Google TV this fall, on Wednesday, July 7, 2010.

The service is available in beta online and will be built into Google TV. Daisy Whitney, BEET.TV Senior Producer, landed an exclusive video interview with YouTube's Interface Designer Julian Frumar, last Wednesday. They discussed the company's plans to expand Lean Back beyond Google TV and into consumer electronics devices from manufacturers.

"In addition to the partnership opportunities, Lean Back is also designed to be a simpler way to watch YouTube videos on the TV. The service is more intuitive and can recommend personalized videos for users. It can be used in a browser or via a connected TV. Users navigate solely with the keyboard's arrow keys." ~ BEET.TV

Lean Back sounds like another winner! I'm looking forward to its launch.

Cloud Computing Is Like No Other Technology Wave

— As for the right name, what more need be said than that Cloud Computing has caught on in a way that "Grid Computing" or "Utility Computing" or "Elastic Computing" never did?

As a metaphor is sums up perfectly the spirit of compute capacity that can be set up and torn down programatically, leaving someone else to take care of the networking and hardware.

However there's no doubt that "Cloud fatigue" is in danger of setting in as almost every existing suite of software becomes not re-engineered but merely re-branded, and give the magic C-word. Which is why my own preference is now to move to a slightly more nuanced metaphor, that of the "Resource Cloud." Read complete article at Cloud Computing Is Like No Other Technology Wave:  It's Time We All Understood About The Resource Cloud

• Approachable interaction design: Create expressive interfaces and interactive content without writing code. Designers can define behaviors and control sophisticated interactions with simple menu-based commands without requiring any development or coding skills.
• Interactive components: Turn static Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Fireworks artwork into interactive components and add interactions that respond to user input. Interfaces and interactive content can appear with a branded look and feel, as the design requires.
• Smooth animated transitions: Graphically edit and create animated transitions between pages or states of components. Designers can extend their creativity by creating engaging experiences with objects that move and smoothly fade in and out.
• Design-time data: Define and preview the look and behavior of dynamic data quickly and easily. Similar to using placeholder text or images, you can use mock data without having to actually connect to a back-end system.
• Video and dynamic media: Integrate video, sound effects, and dynamic media as easily as working with static artwork, and then add interactions to control their playback. Even import SWF files that you can play from a specific frame.
