I don’t know if the Internet needs another HD video provider, but regardless, if you’re a Flickr Pro member, you can now upload videos in sweat, sweat HD.
Regular Flickr members can now also upload two videos per week (though not in sweat, sweat HD) so it’s more video goodness for all!
Vimeo Toys are “interactive visualizations of what’s happening right now” on Vimeo.
Though Vimeo encourages anyone to make a toy and submit it for approval, they’ve seeded the site with the first two: VimeoLand and Pulse.
Of the two, VimeoLand is definitely my favorite, as I really haven’t seen anything else like it before. VimeoLand is an interactive landscape with people walking around and a plane flying overhead, and each person represents an action by one of the Vimeo users. Clicking on a person brings up a like, a comment, an upload or a signup by a Vimeo user, and clicking on the plane drops a random video from the plane’s cargo.
While it’s not particularly useful, it definitely shows off the potential of Vimeo Toys, and makes me eager to see what’s coming out next.
From the team that brought you the fantastically useful BugMeNot and RetailMeNot comes PDFMeNot, a new web services that aims to make PDF files much easier to use.
Instead of launching a separate (and often slow) application to view PDF files, PDFMeNot takes those files via upload, URL, bookmarklet, or script and turns them into a Flash display of your document that is cached for future reference.
Take that Adobe!
(The site is in Beta mode until Feb. 13, so login with username: “stateless” and password: “systems” until then.)
