  • No Related Post

Sharewood Picnic is my weekly selection of new media gems found along my explorations during the past seven days. Among them precious new online services that have just launched as well as key new tools I had not had space to catch and write about before. My goal remains the one of providing you with constant access to those tools and facilities that can enhance, enable, augment and support your ability to be effective online publishers of some kind. If this is what you are after, come and check these out.

Here is what I have collected for you this week:

  1. RSS search engine searches only the feeds you want
  2. Virtual sticky notes you can place in the real world
  3. Personalized search from Google Labs
  4. RSS IT-focused search engine
  5. Music community and network
  6. Clearinghouse of exciting video clips
  7. MP3 streaming server software for small publishers
  8. Presentation enhancer for PowerPoint shows
  9. Warning labels generator
  10. Open Dictionary let’s you define new words
  11. Geeks on film: Documentary recounts real software development story

Here the details:

  1. ScoopGO!

    ScoopGO! is a search engine that lets you search only the feeds of your choice. Designed to create very specific news searches, ScoopGO! is a useful tool to look within feeds from multiple news sources simultaneously. The search engine also has capabilities to search through multiple blog feeds or job search engines simultaneously. However, much of these features could be accomplished using Google’s advanced search features. Free to use.

  2. Socialight

    Socialight lets you put a virtual sticky note (aka Post-It) anywhere in the real world. Known as StickyShadows, the notes are like a cross between virtual graffiti and personal messages from friends and strangers alike. It works like this: when a Socialight user enters a place where someone has placed a StickyShadow, their phone buzzes. Then the information (pictures, sound or video) left by another user is delivered automatically. Users can then add to the StickyShadow, reply to the originator or just ignore it. Joining the service is free although usage fees from mobile companies apply. Available only in the US and only through select mobile service providers.
