Video Conferencing Plugin For Google Talk

Tuesday 8 November 2005 @ 3:45 pm

Festoon
Google Talk has yet to have video conferencing like the other two competitors’ Instant Messengers (IM), MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger. Therefore, Santa Cruz Network has developed a plugin for Google Talk enabling Google Talk users to conduct video voice calls. They named the plugin Festoon.

Santa Cruz Network just launched the plugin for Google Talk few days ago followed by its success in launching the most popular video plug-in for Skype with more than 2.75 million downloads so far. For you information, Festoon works fine with both Google Talk and Skype now.

Festoon

Festoon allows Google Talk users to talk to and see each other just like any other video conferencing feature in other IM, share applications, and engage in video experiences from 2 to 200 face-to-face communication. It offers high-quality group voice utilizing the industry leading GIPS audio codec used also by Google Talk, Skype, and AIM Triton.

Creation Of Big Company Names

Monday 17 October 2005 @ 5:35 pm

Have you ever wonder of how those big companies come out with the idea of how to name their companies? Like me, probably you might think some of the big names are just a common word that we speak everyday like Yahoo!, or the company just simply comes up with such a name.

Well, this page gives you a better idea of knowing how the big names are created. I am not too sure about the validity of the creation of the names, but I felt it is something really interesting to share with you all. Of course, if you know the original idea of naming those names listed, feel free to tell us in the comment area. :)

I will just list down some of the famous ones :-

  • Yahoo!
    It’s actually an acronym for “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle”. See the name history. Before this, I thought it is just a simple word “Yahoo”.
  • Sun Microsystems
    Now only I know it means the acronym for Stanford University Network.
  • Microsoft
    Originally called Micro-Soft, which is the suppose to be a short form of MICROcomputer SOFTware. The ‘-‘ was then removed.
  • Intel
    I thought it means Intelligence, but in fact it is the acronym of INTegrated ELectronics.
  • Hotmail
    Named as such was not because the email is hot, but because Hotmail includes the letters “html”, which is the most widely used programming language on the Internet. Initially, HoTMaiL was the way how it is written.
  • Cisco
    Actually it’s the abbreviation of San Francisco, and the company logo is the image of Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Before knowing the real reason, I thought the logo is some form of signal wave. :D
  • Apple Computers
    Apple is the favourite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. LoL … This is classic !



Spam Google – You’ll Find Only Rubbish

Tuesday 11 October 2005 @ 1:35 pm

Spam GoogleHave you ever tried to search some information for your assignment or project using Google Search but ended up getting some spam rubbish instead? Maybe the first few search results are relevant to what you searched, but the other are just plain rubbish.

Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped felt the frustration, thus, created Spam Google, which utilises Google Search but will only give you spam results instead of what you want.

Just as Spam Google’s slogan “Just the noise.” says, you will only find advertisement spam and all sorts of crap.

Google Reader – A Place To Read Feeds

Saturday 8 October 2005 @ 6:56 pm

Google Reader
Well, usually I will avoid writing the same news others have already posted, but this is too big as a news for all bloggers and blog readers as well. Even if I write about the same news, I will try to get as much extra information or links to add some value to my post.

Google Reader

Anyway, Google has just launched its latest service, Google Reader. I lost count how many new services has Google launched in this year. Basically, Google Reader is like a one-stop online feed reader, which allows you to subscribe to any website with any form of feeds (RSS or Atom) then read them online.

I ain’t going to write a review of Google Reader, instead just to give you some idea what are the basic features. Other than subscribing to the feeds that you have known from the website that you visit often, you can search and subscribe to new feeds too. For example, as shown in the following figure, say you want to subscribe to feeds regarding mobile phone, the search will give a list of famous websites’ feeds.
