Flixwagon was created on the idea that capturing and sharing video should be fast and easy. We realized that existing ways to share video were too cumbersome and that there was a better way. This is why we started Flixwagon.

 

Our friends at Boxee are also trying to change the world, but with a very different focus. Boxee is building the ultimate social media center which we believe can change the way people consume and share digital content at home. Boxee allows users to easily consume and share video, photos, and music from various sources on their computers and TVs, interact with their friends around this content, and more.  We think this is a huge leap from anything that's out there today.

 

Boxee just came out with their alpha for mac. We encourage you to sign up for their alpha plan, download, and get ready for an entirely new and exciting media center experience.

Totlol is a niche new video sharing which is community-moderated to fit those between the ages of 6 months and 6 years. Or in other words, YouTube for the youngest crowd and their parents.

So cute!

A video is worth a thousand words...

Thanks Mastro! :)

As promised, here's our live broadcasted video recipe of pasta with Alfredo and mushrooms sauce. We were very happy with the outcome, very tasty and really easy to cook.

Broadcasting it while cooking made us realize that there are "dead" moments when we needed to wait for the water to boil or the mushrooms to cook. We thought those moments are probably boring for the viewers... So we decided to take some breaks and divide the broadcast into a few interesting parts.

I hope you'll enjoy it. And you're very welcome to share your recipes with me. Drop me a line and I'll even publish then here.

*Thanks Ricky for the great inspiration, and thanks to Idan for cooking! :)

For the non-US people out there on the web (which I am one of them), MTV's Choose or Loose initiative has provided a whole new experience of being a part of and great opportunity to have a closer look of the US elections.

Using Flixwagon, a series of 23 young reporters went out to cover the real stories from polling stations, caucuses, candidate rallies etc' live from their mobile. One of my favorite reporters is Sara Benincasa, a citizen journalist for the 2008 MTV Choose or Lose Street Team. All day long I was watching her live broadcasts which portrait NYC, the of New York voters, Hillary's winning speech and many other items.

This was a very amazing experience of getting video news breaks on real time from a young point of view. Here are some treats, however I strongly encourage you to follow the link to Sara Benicasa page and see them all.

Enjoy!
