Give it a REST: iTitle/uTitle linking (oh and you can comment on Vimeo vids in uTitle)

[flickr]3040682476[/flickr] In Brian Kelly’s Captioned Videos of IWMW 2010 Talks post last month he had three suggestions for improvement: searchable collections; a ‘RESTful interface’ to link to specific tweets in the video; and better cross browser support. In my last post on iTitle I highlighted 97% of desktop web browsers can now enjoy iTitle Twitter […]

Using YouTube for audio/video feedback for students

[flickr]2469419808[/flickr] A long, long, long time ago I wrote a post Using Tokbox for Live and Recorded Video Feedback in which I demonstrated how the free ManyCam software could be used to turn your desktop into a virtual webcam to provide feedback on students work in a Russell Stannard styley. Recently my colleague Kenji Lamb […]

Bookmarklets: Auto form filling and more

[flickr]4326217872[/flickr] Bookmarklets are small applications which can be saved in your web browser as … well ‘bookmarks’, which then let you use one-click automation of a wide variety of tasks from sending links, manipulating font-size, looking up related information.

Twitter/YouTube commenting: Embeddable, open sourced and with its own WordPress plugin [uTitle]

Having added embed options for the Twitter subtitling of live events (iTitle), it made sense to include these with the Twitter/YouTube commenting tool (uTitle). As both these tools have some code in common adding embed options for the player and player+navigation was relatively straight forward. So now you can embed Twitter commented YouTube videos in […]

Twitter subtitling, the three E’s: Embed, embed, embed

A conversation with Brian Kelly led to a quick refresh of the Twitter Subtitle Generator (iTitle) [I’ve got tired of linking to all of mine and Tony’s previous posts on this so started the Twitter subtitling wikipedia entry]. Brian was interested in using iTitle to create twitter captioned versions of videos from IWMW10. Their plan […]
