Interviewing the Mobuzz Interviewing Steve Wozniak @ Madrid



After Gabe told us we needed to check Mobuzz in the weekend I switched on my laptop specially for Mobuzz. ( I can tell you, that's an achievement :-P). Mobuzz was on tour again interviewing Co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak. I think it was an interesting interview brought to us by our friend Gabe. Who is doing an excellent job at Mobuzz. At first I was a bit sceptic about him, I mean, It is not Olivia is it?! But his other approach to the show and style is quite refreshing.

I wonder how they choose their content, Does Gabe write his own stuff? Besides that do they have plans to make the shows more interactive? I'll try to get an interview with the guys at Mobuzz. Do you have guys have suggestions for questions?

At the moment you guys just enjoy your weekend. You can always work on Monday again. ;-)

The Onion. World of World of Warcraft.

had a great laugh after watching this video. The onion makes silly news, very serieus. Have a look at the video and you'll see what I mean. Really funny. =)

Run Away box - Office Wars

Found this website through the Mobuzz Newsroom. I thought this video was brilliant! Have a look at their website. Their R.A.Q is also very funny!

Add Comments on Tumblr


I just made a tumblr website. fulltimechris.tumblr.com , but I couldn't find a way to add comments on the site,

I e-mailed te guys at Tumblr and this is what came back.

Hi, Christopher. We have received a lot of user requests for comment functionality on Tumblr. We are working on how to best allow interactivity while staying true to the spirit of a streamlined tumblelog environment.

In the meantime, if you are comfortable editing the Custom HTML of tumblelog or Public Group, you can manually add the comment system provided by Disqus. Editing Custom HTML is a somewhat advanced activity, so we wouldn't recommend doing it unless you've worked with HTML in the past.

You can visit http://disqus.com/create to sign up for Disqus. Then, add the code they give you in your Custom HTML as directed.

To modify your Custom HTML, go into the Dashboard for your tumblelog or Public Group and click on the Customize button in the upper right corner. The Customize button looks like a gear. On the Theme tab, you can edit your Custom HTML.

If you would like to learn more about HTML on your own, visit http://www.w3schools.com/html.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with. Thanks for using Tumblr!

Marc :-)

So if you have a Tumblr site, here you go ;)

Olivia?! No more..



"hi guys. First of all, let me apologize for all this wait. I am really sad to read all the comments --please rest assured we do read all of them, and we do feel your disappointment. I don't expect you to understand how deeply sorry the crew behind the show is with this outcome :(

Anyways, I wasn't supposed to comment on the company's policies, but I felt someone needed to address the community. You have all raised very valid issues ( eg. transparency, honesty and respect for the viewers ), many of which had already been brought up in-house even before we got to this point. If we have kept silent it was not out of disregard for the community, but rather because we (the crew) *really* didn't know what was going on for the most part.

Since it is already public, I guess there's no harm done confirming that Olivia won't be with us anymore. Which is very sad, since she is one of the most talented geekettes we've seen. So, best of luck for her in whatever she does next --we will miss you, Olivia!

As for Mobuzz, well, some of you have spoken very clearly about never coming back --can't blame you for that I guess (sounds a bit unfair to the rest of the team --but I digress). If you still have any faith on the team that brought you the Daily Buzz, stick around just a couple more days --there's something planned for next Monday that I hope you'll find very interesting. Again, excuse our lack of communication and please accept our apologies. Our CEO shall tell you soon enough more details about what happened and what the plan is to move forward. Best regards, Paul."

Sad news to see the that Olivia stopped at Mobuzz TV. I loved the show, and I think she has made a high standard for the next presenter. Mobuzz and Olivia
parted ways because it didn't work anymore. Here is her post on her tumblr site.

"
Yep, apologies for the prolonged cyber-space absence. Been too busy running round the park in the rain (yes it´s still raining in Spain), re-discovering weekday lie-ins and drinking the black stuff straight from the Irish horses beer tap.

If you are following me on Twitter (which I assume you are, or otherwise how else would you have found me on Tumblr?!) you will know by now that me and Mobuzz TV have parted ways. No juicy gossip or underhand tricks to feed into the blogging rumour-mill I´m afraid, just the simple explanation that it wasn´t working out anymore.

So what next?!! Well, first up on the list is a big pile of laundry that I have been avoiding for days, then maybe a weekend break in Amsterdam…where I hear chocolate brownies and mushroom omelettes taste a whole lot of different to the norm.

Then..who knows. I will be Twitting and Tumbling where and when I can, and although not behind the camera, I will continue to lurk somewhere in cyber-space if you´re interested in finding me.

Thanks for all the messages guys……now…..Ive got a plane to catch, and a brownie to eat :)

Ciao xxxx "

I see that Olivia is coming to Amsterdam for the weekend. Maybe she will become the flying reporter traveling to different cities around the world. Letting us know how she's doing in her trip around the world. It would be cool to see her use different kind of technologies like Qik, Twitter and her blog to let us see a bit of Olivia's trip. I mean she has the experience in presenting. I think she could do that =).

However it is a sad thing it didn't work out with her and Mobuzz TV. It really was a reason to look at Mobuzz TV. I was glad she let us know via her tumblr she left Mobuzz. Mobuzz TV has dissapointed a lot of her viewers by just posting reruns at the site. "Actually including me".

I hope the newsroom doesn't collapse, because I think the community Mobuzz has is a real interesting one.

Well I keep you updated when some news comes out.

Amsterdam City Games..

Yesterday I uploaded my latest creation for the Amsterdam City Games.. I just thought I should share it with you ;-)..

Testing Joggle




Fabrik Beta has turned into Joggle.

Pretty cool name don't you think?
However,
I got an email from Joggle this morning telling me they had "upgraded" my account. I forgot I signed up, but after logging in en playing with it it is kind of useful. This is my first test with the embedding feature. I very easily made this player.

With Joggle you can find, mix and share all your digital content. You can upload files and store them in your online library. If you do this, you can easily make an embedd code for your files and embedd them on your Blog for instance.

You can have a million desktops, and 1000 accounts on online services and still collect the stuff in 1 place. One of the advantages is the sharing mode, you can share it privately, but also publicly.

At the moment only Google Images and Flickr are available as online services you could link to your Joggle. It is a beta so this can be improved with other services like youtube etc. However it works fine. You can easily drag and drop your photos from your Flickr account and make a cool widgets or slide shows with it.

The best thing of Joggle is the User Interface. You don't have these static upload buttons, but it works like any other web 2.0 application. You can drag and drop almost anything. I suggest you register on the website www.joggle.com and get invited just like me. The way it sorts out all your stuff is really great!
