Scrapblog on your desktop

scrapblog

The team from Scrapblog is hanging out at the Web 2.0 expo this week, and has some exciting news.

Scrapblog, who officially announced their availability on April 2nd, is a way for people to aggregate social media into an online scrapbook. It's a simple drag and drop way to combine photos, videos, audio and text to create really cool multimedia pages, or online scrapbooks. Material can be uploaded and embedded from Flickr, YouTube, Photobucket, Yahoo Photos, and Webshots.

With the Web 2.0 world rapidly shifting towards giving users the ability to access files and applications both online and offline, Scrapblog is going offline, and onto the desktop. They have been working hard to build a version of Scrapblog that runs on Adobe's Apollo platform which shouldn't be hard given the fact that they already employ Flash for their main interface. The release date is expected to be around two months from now, and they will be opening it up for trials with an announcement on their blog at that time.

Check out some samples of what you can do with Scrapblog.

The "blog" part comes with the fact that each Scrapblog has its own RSS feed and viewers can leave comments on your Scrapblog pages. I've always found looking at other people's scrapbooks a bit tedius, but maybe if I could see it little by little in my feed reader I would be more keen on it. Scrapblog is a free Flash-based service.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
