Yahoo! starts up Internet Program for Investors

by Chris Gilmer Dec 10th 2007

Yahoo! is getting ready to take the wrapper off TechTicker, an online program aimed at technology investors.

TechTicker specifically targets technology stocks in a portal type environment. The new program will offer streaming video, blog posts and breaking news targeting the technology investment sector. The portal and show which are said to be launching in January 2008, pick up where Yahoo! Finance Vision left off in 2002. Thankfully high speed connections are far more common in 2007 and better video compression tools are available to make internet based shows a feasible reality, rather than a pipe dream (no, we're not poking fun at Yahoo! Pipes, ok, maybe just a little). As for the other financial information that will be displayed, we assume it will resemble what Yahoo! Finance already does, but targeting technology specific companies.

With Yahoo! Finance high on the list of financial sites, TechTicker could be headed for great things. Of course, track records aside, we will have to wait for the roll out in order to really decide.

Check out what Yahoo! Finance Vision looked like back in the day.

Starting things off with Zoho

by Chris Gilmer Aug 29th 2007

Zoho is always up to something. The company that seems like it never stops to breath has released another update to their Zoho suite, Start.

The Start beta is a not another Zoho application, it is merely an integrated Start page for all of your other Zoho applications. Think of it as a desktop for all things Zoho. When logging in at zoho.com, users are forwarded to start.zoho.com which aggregates all Zoho data for the user account. The current version of Zoho Start integrates Zoho Writer, Sheet and Show, with all data having the ability to be tagged with keywords, shared, exported and organized all from this simple interface.

Thanks Zoho, for making it extra difficult to choose between Zoho's suite of applications, and Google's Docs/Apps.

ZoHo office suite for iPhone

by Chris Gilmer Jun 28th 2007

Zoho, the makers of the powerful set of online office productivity tools has just announced iZoho, a version of their software that has been optimized for the iPhone's touch screen.

ZoHo are the makers behind the web based productivity tool set that includes Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet, Zoho Show, Zoho Notebook, and Zoho Mail. Their new iZoho is accessible through http://www.izoho.com, and can be played with in a regular browser window. However resizing seems to get a little mucky. If this application actually does manage to work with Apple's new iPhone (the developers unfortunately didn't have one for testing), I'm sure that many users of other online office applications will be thinking about switching over quickly. As it stands now Zoho has been the only company to come forward and say their online office productivity sets work with Apple's iPhone.

Zoho show adds some Web 2.0 goodies

by Chris Gilmer Apr 23rd 2007

Nothing is better than easy access and the ability to find things quickly online. Zoho stepped up this weekend and upgraded your access to information through Show, one of their popular web based applications.

The Zoho team added tag clouds, tag search, and the listing of public presentations among others. Zoho Show was once only viewable through an embeddable presentation, not it can be viewed on its own page with places to comment on each slide. Show still has the embeddable code available and adds stats to check out how many times the presentation was viewed.

dclicio.us event aggregation

by Chris Gilmer Apr 10th 2007

Feel like partying in the DC area tonight, but don't know what's going on? dclicio.us is going to help.

dclicio.us is built with the lovely Ruby on Rails and aggregates events for the Washington DC area. Users sign up for a free account and add their favorite artists, or import them from iTunes, so they can be monitored and notified of the events arrival in the city. dclicio.us Show aggregation shows a listing of events in the DC area, where users can click off and bookmark shows of interest that get added to a special My Shows category. Events can then be read through an RSS feed, and imported and updated through iCal or Google Calendar.

This type of site has a lot of potential for other markets as well, but no word as of yet if dclicio.us plans to expand beyond the beltway.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
