Ah! Enclosures. How'd he do dat? Following Twittergram; my random blurts about random blurts Neat to see how Dave's brainstorm is picking up traction. I think he's mentioned the need for the Twitter feed to allow for enclosures. This Grazr output illustrates that. If the feed had enclosures, you could play the MP3s with Grazr's built-in Flash audio player. Quite a few people mention the need for a Flash client that allows recording. I remember Kosso when working on Podbat was asking himself the same question Paul Fierro wonders about in thinking about adding a recording capability to his player client: would you have to use Flash Media Server. Does Silverlight let you do anything like this? Later: others are asking this too. Drupal community kicked it around too. Keeps coming back to Java when Flash server stops the conversation. Adobe... sounds an awful like the old round and round questions about fill-in-able PDF forms, and they finally did enable that for ordinary Reader users without the server investment by the publisher or purchase of full Acrobat for the user; maybe they'll relent eventually on this one too. Somebody might want to contact Michael Bailey who's been working on an audio commenting system now called MyChingo, which is supposed to be rereleased as MobaTalk, at first just as a WordPress plugin I think. MyChingo uses Java somehow, not sure if MobaTalk will. Idea: might be nice for a Flash player client to function like a playlist that plays one gram after another without the need to click on each one. Back to enclosures: if the Twitter feed had them you could attach photos too, or video or Flash cartoons or PDFs or code updates or whatever. With that ^ in mind, I picked up the domain twitteri.us. You could prepend it with real or almost real or fake Latin subdomain names like sono.twitteri.us or picto Later: now Twittergram user shareski is trying a "Name That Tune" game. I actually thought about that on the drive to work this morning, only different kinds of games to play in Twitter -- variations of stuff I've tried before, an audio literature game and a message board-based picture game. Both would work better with enclosures. |
