YouTube, Metacafe or any other video sharing website are all powered by Adobe’s most popular technology, Flash. Everyday millions of videos are being served and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Adobe Flash. However, as it’s a proprietary technology, it comes with various restrictions like licenses, patents and fees too!

I’m one of the power users of Twitter, not that I hit the Twitter’s A list anywhere, however according to Hubspot, I’m one of the top 50 users of twitter in India (of course, the competition isn’t that tough in India – you may follow me here) and while using twitter I have lot of conversations around with the other users, I’ve noticed that there have been many meme’s on twitter that are done just for fun! One such meme was started by me and my friends and the result was that we made “Jaljeera”, a trending topic on twitter.

I am always amazed whenever I read some wonderfully researched articles by journalists, freelance writers, only to get a little disappointed when they start making comments about various other businesses based on their past records. Henry Blodget has posted this wonderfully crap article that shows how Microsoft has spent around $ 8 Billion in past on their internet business and have failed miserably.

Box.net, one of the famous and often talk about file storage service on the internet has launched Web Documents. Web Documents is nothing but online web processor like Zoho Writer, Google Docs. It can be even called a basic html editor. The service allows you to edit, create the documents online for free.
It has all the basic features of any Word Processor like spell check, document formatting, image insertion etc. Although, it fails to introduce the ability to export the documents in various other formats like PDF, OpenOffice.Org files or even Word itself. Now, one can easily live without this as all these features are present in Zoho Writer and Box.Net has integrated Zoho Writer with its online storage service.
Although, it keeps me wondering that why exactly Box.Net is wasting its resources in building another online processor when there are tons of processors available at the moment. I think they should rather use their resources in making various applications that will help integrate desktop computers with this service.
Popular Tumblr service, that allows one to create a microblog and offers host of features that lets you personalize the service to a whole new level has renamed its Tumblrette application (for iphone) to Tumblr for iPhone. The application used to cost $1.99 earlier and now its free.
I have to say that if at all, Twitter starts to provide the same kind of features as provided by Tumblr then it will become the hot favorite service and will add more and more fans as it has now. I myself will switch my personal domain name to Twitter service. So, if you are one of the Tumblr user and flaunt an iPhone then you will surely love this application!
Talking about the applications for iPhone – here are the top blogging/iphone applications available on the internet -
