AroundMe Offers Free Software to Create Your Own MySpace

AroundMe is a free software solution for those who would like to create a collaborative web space (i.e. MySpace clone).

With this tool you can make your own website and layer in social networking components such as wikis, blogs, and forums. OpenID integration is one of the options that can be extended to the end users as well. AroundMe is released under a GPL license, is free to download, and also features a plug-in API. The hope for the creators of AroundMe is that people will use this tool to create websites for others to network around, forming groups (as with Ning) and offering up user-generated content.

JSP Prize Tags : A JSP tag library

JSP Prize Tags is a JSP tag library. The primary tags are the Tree Tag, Tabbed Pane Tag, and AJAX Tags. The Tree Tag makes it easy to implement tree controls in your JSP pages. The Tabbed Pane Tag makes it easy to implement tabbed panes in your JSP pages. You can put any JSP code inside a tab, and even include other JSPs inside a tab. The AJAX Tags make it easy to turn your links and forms into AJAX links and forms, which reload in a table cell or div tag instead of the whole page. Also included are the icon tag, the alternate tag (for alternating content on the page, such as the background color of table rows or an ad rotator), laying calendar events in a table, and more.

SoundManager 2: Javascript Sound For The Web

A Javascript API was needed to achieve the kind of client-side flexibility I wanted, and access to sound was possible using Flash 8's ExternalInterface capabilities through a hidden movie. The original SoundManager 1 project could provide Javascript sound, but not with the kind of features and flexibility I was needing - so something new had to be developed. This lead to the Javascript sound library, SoundManager 2, and the as-yet-unfinished jsAMP, Javascript MP3 player project.

SoundManager 2 is a library of two core files: A Javascript API, and a small Flash 8 movie which provides sound functionality. Combined, you can create, play and manage sounds directly from Javascript, without having to work with or maintain any Flash code. (The Actionscript .as source is included however, if you want to.)

This project was developed with integration in mind, and includes some useful debugging hooks. SoundManager 2 will use Firebug's debug console (or Safari's native console) if available, and debug info will be written in-browser for IE and others.

Ottobib

Ottobib Makes a bibliography. It's free, easy and OttoMatic

Basis of Idea

The idea for this site came from Seth Godin's blog post about "Stuck Systems".

Seth outlined 2 requirements:

1. A bibliography based on looking up the data online
2. Webpage that would allow the reader/teacher to see the books, their covers, links to Amazon or other online references.

ISBN?

What is an ISBN? - The International Standard Book Number, or ISBN (sometimes pronounced "is-ben"), is a unique identifier for books. (Wikipedia.org)

The Details

Getting the appropriate data to generate the citations was difficult as few databases have complete, or organized information, particularly the publisher location. If the location is unavailable, it will say "City".

The Future of Bibliographies

This website is the start of a new paradigm of citing sources. Printed list of sources will always be essential, but this website will become the supplement. Short, permanent, easy URLs will provide:

• Links to Google Books
• Links to Google seach results
• Links to reviews
• Links to similar books
• Book cover pictures
