Overlay.TV Helps You Customize, Monetize Streaming Video
Overlay.TV, a startup that lets users augment streaming videos with customized text, audio, images, and links, has launched to the public. The service overlays videos from a number of video sharing sites with a new layer containing this customized content, which can be used for entertainment purposes or as an easy (and potentially effective) means of monetizing video.
Tweetake Backs Up Your Tweets to CSV Files
There’s a good chance Twitter might never lose all the messages, replies, following lists, and other data its users have racked up over its short, expansive life—then again, it’s not exactly the paradigm of reliable service, either. Even if you don’t need (or care) to secure your messages, free service Tweetake does a hack-happy job of grabbing selected parts of your Twitter profile or the whole thing and dumps it into an easily-opened Comma Separated Value file. So you’re free to run statistics on your Twitter use, search out that useful link sent so long ago, or pull whatever other data hacks you want on your profile. Users of auto-updating Twitter apps like TweetDeckmight have to disable them for a bit before pulling down their files, but it otherwise seems to work as promised.

15+ Ways to Make Your Linux Box Hip to Web 2.0
15+ Ways to Make Your Linux Box Hip to Web 2.0: ”
The market of applications managing various Internet-related tasks is divided generally into three parts: Windows-based, Mac OS X-compatible, and Linux-friendly. Some function across all platforms, or perhaps the most mainstream and consumer-centric of the two. But it is unquestionably the case that the Linux world holds the least currency where desktop-to-Web and Web-to-desktop communication is concerned.
Well, if you’re a Linux user, or perhaps just curious to know what’s now possible on Linux installations in order to better decide whether to ‘take the leap,’ we’re going to do Tux a solid today and see what’s up in the land of ‘Net apps’ to save you from having to search the open source galaxy yourself.
Now, you’re probably aware of this. It is likely the most popular download for Linux. But what the hey, it’s good to hear once in a while. Mozilla’s well-renowned Firefox 3 browser, an open source fan-fave, is ready for Linux users to download. In every localized language version of the newest build, too. According to the official website, that leaves Firefox for Linux one better than the Mac OS X option. Do you speak Gujarati? Well, then you’ve got just two options: Windows and Linux. Enjoy.
Podcasting v Videocasting?
Podcasts have been around for a while - It was back in 2004 when they first caught fire. Since then, many unique and useful podcasts have risen to the top and consistently brought in audiences, most notably Diggnation and TWiT
Videocasting, on the other hand, is a new phenomenon, one that didn’t occur until the technology became available with the widespread use of YouTube, live streaming services, and better video and web cameras.
We hear less about podcasts and and more about video shows such as Epic Fu, Pop17 and even TWiT live (now streamed by StickAM). The trend seems clear - podcasting is going by the wayside and videocasting is taking the helm.
Twitter’s 2000-Follow Limit Raises A Ruckus.
Twitter is starting to limit how many other Twitterers any one person can follow. While the number varies based on different factors, for most people (other than Robert Scoble) the ceiling seems to be 2,000. This has caused some consternation among bloggers (blogsternation?). You’d think Twitter was limiting free speech. But it’s not. It’s trying to limit spam and perhaps this will help with its scaling issues as well.
