Roundup : Googol Deskbar, WP-Offline, Click Comments, blogTV, Vyew
Googol Deskbar - I’ve blogged a few times about how the Google deskbar is an absolute essential for my daily browserless search, and that it’s no longer available unless you download the Google Desktop…unless you go to PCWorld.
Anyhow the Googol Deskbar is the new alternative, I haven’t checked it out, but it sounds like a winner.
WP-Offline - Not long ago I posted about the Google Gears browser extension enabling you to read content offline and synch back when you are online, so far you can see this in action with Google Reader.
Now there is a Wordpress plugin that allows you to read offline, not just the latest, but all the blog posts from a blog in one click…of course this has nothing to do with synching, it’s more focused on one-click offline reading…I wonder how you delete the data off your PC once you are finished.
Click Comments - a cross between voting/rating and comments, leave a one-click expression of what you think of a blog post, see some related tools. [via TC]
blogTV - another live streaming service akin to kyte, UStream, stickam, PocketCaster, YouCams, operator11, mogulus, veodia, justin.tv…see a review and comparison. For audio streaming we have BlogTalkRadio and Talkshoe.
Vyew - web conferencing…check out the features in a comparison chart. Session results are saved as a VyewBook, and can be embedded as widgets called Vyewlets. Here is a complete list of features…it’s got a wiki feel with the whiteboard and the fact you have a book in the end which can keep being reviewed, and you can live chat and talk, you can collaborate on documents like the many Office 2.0 services (real-time and synchronus), screenshare…it’s got it all.
