Ustream iPhone App Is Finally Here!

Over the last year, Ustream has sought to extend its reach into the mobile arena, and the company has introduced video-recording and viewing iPhone apps, but its latest offering allows true live broadcasting to multiple viewers. You can begin recording video on your phone, stream it to the Web, and allow any number of people to watch it as it happens. You can include your GPS location with the broadcast as well.

This is something that I think will make ustream way more useful. I've had an account for years but rarely a chance to use it since you had to be connected to a computer.

Inspired by Twitter, Blip.fm Tunes Into Customized Stations

Now, its edge on other Twitter/music mashups is about to grow, as Blip.fm is set to introduce a set of features based on familiar Twitter attributes — hashtags and trending topics — that can be used as filters to create customizable radio stations.

Although Blip.fm can still be used socially through Twitter and Facebook, features like these increase its usefulness as a destination rather than something that piggybacks on other sites. The updates will appear at beta.blip.fm in the next day or so, with eventual rollout to the rest of the site.

Neil Gaiman Crowdsourcing a Short Story Via Twitter

Coraline author Neil Gaiman wants to make a writer out of you.

His means for penning his upcoming project are as creative as the gems in his copious portfolio, only he can't claim all the credit for this one. Starting today at noon EDT, the writer began encouraging people to tweet in their 140-character contributions for his next short story, which BBC Audiobooks America will later garner into an audio book.

Gaiman (@neilhimself), who is already well established in the Twitter realm, will tweet the opening line and fans will be able to continue the story as they wish. BBC will log about 1,000 contributions into a script that will be edited and prepared to be read by a professional narrator.

Currently there is no talk of releasing the story in print form, but the audio edition will be available for free download at the BBC site, iTunes and other audiobook distributors before the end of the year.

"Our passengers tell us that they don't like being patted down by security staff," says Sarah Barrett, the British airport's head of customer experience.

What if Twitter Had an App Store? Now It Does.

Like Summize before it was acquired and relaunched as Twitter Search, OneForty is Twitter’s missing piece.

It also offers a business platform for the over 20,000 Twitter developers to market their innovations.

Google Voice and Gmail are sort of merging

Google Voice and Gmail are sort of merging | Rafe's Radar - CNET News: "

Two new little Google Voice features just made their way into Gmail. A new option lets text messages sent to Google Voice show up as e-mail messages in Gmail. You can reply to messages from Gmail, too, which makes it a nice platform for carrying on a text message conversation.

Google Voice text messages can now be read and replied to from within Gmail.

(Credit: Screenshot by Rafe Needleman/CNET)

Also, there's a new Labs feature in Gmail that lets you play your Google Voice voicemail messages from inside the Gmail viewer. Previously, Gmail would send you the text transcript of your message, but if you wanted to play the audio file, it would open a new browser window to do so.
