I feel like I always need more than one project on my plate, so I'm working on two main apps right now: CloudPlay ( http://cloudplay.fm ), my first Mac app, is a music player that searches for music locally (iTunes) and online (YouTube, SoundCloud), similar to Spotlight, and makes it easy to build playlists and share them. I'm going to iterate on it lots this summer while in the nReduce ( http://nreduce.com/ ) progra…

Any invite codes available? Sounds really interesting.

I just finished building a widget, for beta testing, that startups can grab from my website that has a built in screen recording tool. So once they embed this on their own website they can entice users to record their interactions and it will even pick up on audio feedback as well. You can see the widget on my site http://betapunch.com . The widget is the little punch icon in the right corner of the page. It's not gr…

Very cool idea - that's taking user feedback to the next level. Will have to give it a spin.

thanks! could you tell me which site you tried to install it on? I sent you an email too.

Trying to help find, attend and share what is exciting lately. The sources are completely open :-) I have facilitated private events and closed groups to share comments and photos. I did this because I believe proper socializing happens in real world and the place you socialize matters a lot.

So far we've had a bumpy ride but I am commited to make it work to build a rather truly social planet!

Thanks @michael_fine!

I am working on a content publishing app for email in the ESP space called Sendicate http://sendicate.net. If you have ever battled with the ubiquitous Mailchimp/Constant Contact/etc etc then you definitely understand the pain. I have just started taking closed-beta sign ups and am aiming to get the first test customers on the app next week.

For those interested in a little more details I have started blogging about some of the ideas and concepts behind Sendicate at my blog at http://www.chadyj.com

I'm building a mobile app for my podcast listening website, http://flapcast.com (which is getting some pretty decent traction but probably isn't taking off since I don't have a mobile app). I can't wait to be able to listen to podcasts on my phone, hit pause, then continue listening to them on my computer :)

Davy - I've been futzing around a lot with Hadoop since you last mentioned this on here and haven't been doing much SQL work. Any news on the development front? Anything new I should take a look at?

No real enhancements to report but some small bug fixes here and there. I am working on adding some reporting feature that will generate PDFs. I will certainly let you know when that is complete (even though I am thinking you are not exactly in that target group).

As an average Joe, I've got no idea why I should click to begin a screencast. What does it do and why should I do it?
