Do you have a (VOX) blog?

If you do, you can connect to it via Flickr. Why? So you can post photos or video you see around here straight to your blog. When you go through the process, you have to connect to your blogging service first (by telling us the URL and your username & password), then you can choose a layout for each post (or create your own if you know a bit of HTML).

Set up your blog

Google Apps now includes Google Sites which makes creating a team site as easy as editing a document.

Use Google Sites to centralize all types of information -- from videos to presentations -- and share your site with just a few people, your entire organization, or the world. Create a single place to bring together all the information your team needs to share, including docs, videos, photos, calendars and attachments.

Work togetherInvite co-workers, classmates, or your entire organization to edit your site with you to keep it fresh and up-to-date and let as many or few people view your site as you want.

Sample Google Sites

• Company intranet
• Team project
• Employee profile
• Classroom

There are multiple editions of Google Apps and Google Sites to meet the needs of different organizations.

So whether you're a small business, a Fortune 500 company, a non-profit or a school, Google can power up your organization with the right services and support.

M$ has announced the German launch of its new IE8 beta 1, and XING is among the initial launch partners.

The new Internet Explorer comes with two new great functions, “WebSlices” and “Activities”. Sections of the XING website are now available as Webslices (visitors to my profile, messages and contacts to confirm) and the XING keyword search is an “Activity” integrated into IE8 !

What is Google App Engine
Google App Engine lets you run your web applications on Google's infrastructure. App Engine applications are easy to build, easy to maintain, and easy to scale as your traffic and data storage needs grow. With App Engine, there are no servers to maintain: You just upload your application, and it's ready to serve your users.

Learn about the Web Services standards REST and JSON by using Google Panoramio and just your web browser !

Using the Google Panoramio API you can display the photos from Panoramio on your own web site. Geolocated photos from Panoramio are great to enrich your maps or illustrate information where location is a important factor (real estate sites, hotels and vacation sites, routes & trails...).

Here's how you'd get some photos of London (X=~0,Y=~51)

http://www.panoramio.com/map/get_panoramas.php ? from=1 & to=16 & minx=-1 & miny=50 & maxx=1 & maxy=52 & size=small (just remove the spaces on either side of each "?" and "&" )

This REST call returns a JSON result set that you can view in your browser and cut and paste photo URLs from :

Sprout is a quick and easy way for beginner and pro users to create living content including, websites, banners, videos, music, photos, RSS feeds, calendars and more.

Sprouts are interactive and portable chunks of web content. Some people call them widgets, mashups or mini-sites but we just call them sprouts.

I wonder if they work as VOX embeds ?
