There is a cool new service that enables you to integrate a video message into a blog or website. The unique feature about this service is the video is not embedded to the webpage rather the message is in a floating bubble that follows you when you scroll up or down the page. The wow factor alone, watching a pop-up video while navigating to the webpage is a great way to deliver a personal message or site updates (greetings, announcements, daily comments etc.). To integrate a bubble video is really simple with no software installation, just use a webcam to record your messages then copy and paste the simple tags on your webpage. Sign-up for the "free" service and start using Bubble Guru to enhanced your blog or website with a unique pop-up video.

Put your documents online!
Scribd is another Web 2.0 gem with a really cool service to share and view documents from other users. Basically, the company's mission "is to create the world's largest open library of documents" that anyone can view and learn from thousands of different subjects.
Infact, Techcrunch described Scribd as the "You Tube of documents", which is a great comparison since the service is awesome with so many applications. The concept is simple, anyone can upload their documents and displayed them among interested readers which they can share, tag, and comment ala You Tube. The documents can be any supported format such as text, pdf, doc, ppt, xls and other types which will be converted to a .pdf format and displayed with their own flash viewer.
The web page showcase a simple design, easy to navigate and explore the many documents available for viewing and sharing. For example, if you found a document you like to view... just click it and it will take you to the flash viewer page with different options on the top like zooming with the slider button or printing the document. On the right side of the page, the option to embed, link, download, and share are clearly displayed with the author's other documents listed below for easy selection. The bottom half of the page enables you to rate the documents, add to favorites, post comments, view page stats and a unique feature for traffic analytics.
I really like this service, especially for educational applications where anyone can do their research or share their documents on-line.
Below is a sample documents ( full of photos) from the Scribd site and like You Tube, you can embed the material on your webpage or blog. Try viewing this as a Power point presentation with music ( or simply click the piano icon)...simply awesome!

If you love those photo booths at the amusement parks, malls, movie theatres and carnival then you will have fun with Phozi. Just use your webcam to capture the picture, maybe upload your favorate photos or take out your cell phone and start snapping those pictures.
I showed this site to my younger daughter ( 12 years old) and she just loved it! Infact, she immediately uploaded her photos then she decorated them with different designs and post them in her myspace page.
No registration required....no software to download
So have fun with Phozi and re-live those photo booth moments.

I've been searchning the internet for an easy form creation tool and i think i found the best, Wufoo. Don't let the name distract you because this form creation tool is the easiest and most flexible of its breed.
Most of us are not programmers but we still need a way to create forms from the simplest contact information to a customer account management. I signed up for the free version ( good enough for now) recently and was blown away by the simplicity of this application.
The menu is very user friendly and i was able to customize the fileds for the data information, drop down menu, labels for each one and the theme for this form. The one feature i really like is the ability to copy and paste the code to my blog. The form is nicely integrated to my site and it seems that i'm hosting it.
From the Wufoo's website, here are just some of the possibilities you can do with this amazing internet application.
- Contact Form
- Mailing List
- Survey
- Job Application
- Workshop Registration
- Event Calendar
- Account Management
- Customer Management
- Bug Tracker
- Invitations / RSVP
- Online Orders
- Wedding Planner
- Address Book
- Home Finances
- Classifieds
- Personal Journal
- Quizzes / Tests
- Media Collection
Whether you have a blog or a website for personal or business use, you owe it to yourself to try this online form creation tool. Check the form i made which i integrated to this blog and it only took me minutes to create and activate the page.
