Quick news: Fliptrack, ToonDoo, Serph, Spinn3r
A number of new services sprouted today in a short period of time, two of them aimed at creative end users, one at researchers and the last one at web businesses.
Fliptrack is a service that enables you to create music videos. They provide the (licensed) music, you provide the photos, and then synchronize them with their handy and simple tool to create a video, which you can upload back to Fliptrack or embed at your own site. You can see the demo over here.
ToonDoo is a new creation of AdventNet, the company behind Zoho, the online office suite. Not nearly as serious a product (in a funny - serious way) as Zoho, ToonDoo makes it easy to create your own comic using a set of premade images (you can also upload your own) and text. Expect people to make even more bad cartoons and then submit them to Digg/Reddit.
Serph is a buzz tracker created by the guys behind Pronet Advertising. It’s a search engine which tells you what other people/sites have been writing about whatever you entered as a query (usually a company or a name). It’s neat, although I’m not sure it gives me a significant enough advantage over a plain old Google search.
Spinn3r is not going to be interesting to end users, but it might prove to be most important service from this batch. It’s the spider that powers Tailrank, a memetracker we’ve written about recently in our Big memetracker roundup. Now, any site / business that needs a spider that can aggregate news from the web, organize it in a meaningful way and get rid of spam in the process doesn’t have to develop their own software - they can plug in into Spinn3r. It’s a paid service, but it’s also offered for free to non-profits and for educational/research purposes. It will be interesting to see if Megite or Techmeme, Tailrank’s biggest competitors, will do something similar in the future.
