Thanks to Jeremiah Owyang who just posted this great video Jeffrey Sass. I gotta admit, my brain has been feeling a bit scrambled as well recently. Much of it is due to my Facebook addiction!

AllFacebook Video Show Episode 1

Monday, September 3rd, 2007

As promised, I have launched the AllFacebook.com video show. This has been a serious learning experience and we will continue to add features and improve our process. We hit a lot of technical difficulties in the production, editing and uploading of our videos. As a result, this video came out at 11:00 PM on Labor Day when I intended for it to come out in the morning. Such is life! If you have any suggestions, please make them. This is our first run and I will be extending the features. Thanks for your input!

Embed Facebook Videos On the Net

Monday, August 20th, 2007

One of the biggest complaints about Facebook is the inability to embed videos in other places outside of Facebook. Thanks to Michael Medley, the creator of the Facebook Video greasemonkey script, that is no longer a problem. The script adds a small textbox to each video page which enables users to place the video elsewhere. I have embedded a video below of myself speaking at the first Washington, D.C. Barcamp about the Facebook platform using the script. In case you are interested I will be posting all of the D.C. Barcamp videos on my other blog. I wonder if Facebook is going to ban this. If Facebook decides to embrace this feature, they will become more of a competitor to MySpace, who’s video platform has become one of the largest on the web.

Award for Slickest App

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Touchgraph ScreenshotThis has to be the coolest application that I have seen yet. The TouchGraph application allows you to visualize your friends that are connected to at least one other person in your network besides yourself. Ultimately this ends up displaying your closest friends through an amazing interface. Zoom in and view the pictures of your friends, drag networks and people around, and see which friends are the most connected to your other friends. This is hands down one of the sweetest applications I have seen yet. You can also visualize which of your friends overlap your various networks. If you are part of a lot of networks (and connected to those networks on Facebook) this application will surely keep you entertained for a while. So if you want to visualize your Facebook relationships, go grab the TouchGraph application. A demo video is posted below.

Mark Zuckerberg

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

So I missed out on last week’s Facebook developer meetup but there is a relatively interesting video of Mark Zuckerberg at the event. Developers had an opportunity to shoot questions at Mark. What was most interesting about this video is how cool Mark is with the new development platform. Everyone is going gaga over the new development platform and Mark sees it simply as another step in the Facebook process. Additionally, Mark mentioned that the Facebook population is expected to grow from 25 million to over 100 million next year. That is a lot of users and will position Facebook as the single competitor to MySpace and potentially as a competitor to bigger companies (such as Yahoo! perhaps?). It is also pretty cool hearing how interested Mark seems just as interested in seeing what people will develop as the developers are. Check out the video!

Facebook Photos on Your Screen Saver

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Want your friend’s and your Facebook photos to be displayed on your screensaver? Look no further. Mark Johns has developed an insanely slick desktop application that automatically grabs selected friends’ photos and places them directly in your screen saver. The only restriction is that you have a Mac operating system. While many people won’t be able to take advantage of this application, it will surely inspire some PC developers to create a similar application (or at least I hope so). I have to be honest, this looks like one of the slickest applications that I have seen yet. If this is any sign of things to come, we are in for an amazing ride. If you have a Mac and want to have a Facebook screensaver, go grab the Friend Photos Screensaver application.
