If you are worried about your data and want to backup your files online. Have a look at these two services:

A nice overview of the different technologies available for p2p tv:

Open source and nice… Its like firefox for media..

I am impressed over the speed of P2P TV technology. Had thought that it would take the tech world 18 month more to make the right software. But here is another example of software that allow you to launch your own online tv station for almost no money:

I think this will mean the rise of many niche tv stations…

I knew this would come at one point. Would be great to find a freeware version:

Well sort off..

Keith over at the Guardian has gone into their "shock" (his words, not i-Play’s) data a little more thoroughly:

- 48% of all females have played a preloaded game on their mobile – compared with…
– 44% of males

In the UK:
– 22% of females played for over 20 minutes compared to
– 15% of men

Are you shocked? I’m not. Ladies and mobile phones have always got on rather well. Ladies feel ownership of that particular technology, I’d wager, and they certainly get to know their phone’s capabilities, in my experience anyway. Women aren’t given the message that this tech or its content is for blokes, either.

The clever people at Mercora has made a new feature where you can search and listen for music for free – and they say its legal…

I am sure that Skype is working on a feature that adds video to their solution, but while we wait for them – have a look at vskype a plugin that allow you to do video conference..

So you have already all you music on your computer but you want to hear it on the mobile.  Some new services are trying to make that happen. They are right now quite clunky, but expect to see many new software tools like this..

However, for now… they don’t seem to be getting too much credit:

Ditty Bot or Ditty Not

Boing Boing and Make are foaming over this thing called Ditty Bot, which is going to let you stream music from your Mac to your cell phone. I wonder if they really considered how ludicrous this whole thing is. Come on – you stream music from your computer using SkypeOut ($$$s) and listening to it over a cellphone connections (more $$$s) and get questionable quality. A data-on-cellphone plan is going to cost $25 a month. At 2 cents a minute, an hour of SkypeOut is going to cost $1.20. Do this an hour a day for 30 days and you have spend about $60. Of course, you could buy a iShuffle for $99, but that would be too simple! And who would want to listen to higher quality of music!

I am a big believer in Flash lite for mobile phones. Think we will see a lot of new apps coming out in that format now when Nokia and Samsung has said they will support it. Here is a good example. It’s a traffic update tool in flash lite that works with another cool project, namely the BBC Backstage program.

Check it out on: http://www.assistmedia.com/trafficlite/

Its free, its open source and it will allow you to broadcast almost for free online:

Well done Jaguar.

Have to say that I think it will take quite some time before High Def becomes something that most channels will support… But it does look nice:

My new favourite blog

Damm, she’s good…

- moblogs to make money…

A handful of top music blogs have now begun to court advertising dollars

more seriously, with a new network recently forming. Music bloggers have

become increasingly important arbiters of taste, with the savvy tastemakers

speaking to incredibly targeted groups of listeners. That has caught the eye

of some big sponsors, including Touchstone Films, Random House Publishing,

and Sony Pictures, along with heavyweight artists like Weezer and Eminem.

The new network, appropriately called the Music Blog Network, will now step

the game up a bit and reach out to advertisers more aggressively.

From a marketing perspective, a super-targeted niche represents the holy

grail of advertising. But gaining a critical mass of consumers can be

difficult, making the new network a shrewd move for the bloggers involved.

Now, the next step could be to thread the Music Blog Network into an even

larger community, with thousands of blogs and music-focused sites

potentially part of an expanded network. While that certainly poses

logistical problems, it could start to attract big advertisers, with brands

like Heineken and Coca-Cola already tapping into the music-interested

consumer

Independent artist site GarageBand is diving headfirst into podcasting, with the company now offering a podcast publishing kit. The new "Podcast Studio" will allow artists and music fans to upload, mix and publish material into the podcast format. It also allows artists to authorize distribution of their music through podcasting, allowing promotion through the time-shifted radio format. That will help to enhance the GarageBand model, which focuses on organic success stories through audience voting and participation.

The podcasting phenomenon keeps growing, with GarageBand the latest to jump on board. While spoken word podcasting defines a large percentage of the category, music-focused podcasts are also gaining steam. Razor & Tie is one notable entrant, with the New York-based indie label now promoting its artists through the format. Unsigned artists can also use podcasting in a similar manner, gaining awareness by pushing their content onto as many iPods as possible. But major labels are less enthusiastic about the trend, and sites like MySpace are staying on the sidelines amidst an unclear legal environment. Meanwhile, an upcoming podcasting push from Apple will broaden the concept considerably, potentially pushing licensing issues to the forefront.
