Holy crap, I totally forgot to blog that we’re having the fourth Media Web Meetup tonight at our nest!

This month we’ve decided to talk about mashups from a musical point of view. We’re bringing in some pretty awesome DJs (DJ Earworm and Kid Kameleon) to demo, talk about what tools they use online to find, create, mashup, distribute and promote their music and what really irks them about the current state of the web.

Rob Lord will help tie this back to technology, the open media web and mashups online and how this can address some of this.

6pm (yes that’s in 2 hours) at our office!

What I meant to say…

FYI, a recent and otherwise on-point LinuxWorld article on Firefox and XULRunner article misquoted me at the end.

My comment was that Mozilla Firefox browser gained market-share at the expense Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Firefox’s early success was propelled by its open source, open standards and Open Web approach, while Microsoft Internet Explorer’s proprietary, single vendor solution stagnated. Duh. =)

Thanks to Paul Kim at the Mozilla Foundation for catching it.

Happy New Year

Birdwatchers, ‘birders, builders, and bird friends,

Thank you for making 2007 a great year for Songbird. Your continued support has helped make our project a success. Your growing numbers are also a sign of our growing popularity, keep spreading the word! Meanwhile, we’ll be hard at work at improving both the ‘bird and the ‘nest for your Open Media Web consuming pleasure.

Much thanks and a Happy New Year,

Portable Playlist Panel Powwow (12/11 @ 5pm!)

Songbird is hosting the next in our series of Media Web Meetups next Tuesday, December 11th.

This one promises to be awesome; we’ve got some heavyweights in the realm of portable playlists coming over to have a panel discussion about the future of how music lovers are going to listen to their media on the go.

On the panel so far: Tantek Çelik (former Chief Technologist of Technorati, and microformats expert), Lucas Gonze (XSPF and portable playlist guru), Scott Kveton (Open Technology Lead at MyStrands) and Tom Conrad (CTO of Pandora).

Wow! How star-studded is that cast?

The panel starts at 6pm at our offices here at 585 Howard, but Lucas will be giving a one hour talk on XSPF and the history of portable playlists to provide some context to the panel at 5pm.

Unite and Conquer

Teaming up.

Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) built on stack such as Adobe Air and Microsoft Silverlight have captured the imagination of the web development community. The promise of transferring the user interface processing to the client or conversely web enabling a desktop application is compelling. Of course, marrying desktop application and the web is nothing new to Songbird users.
