Look, Listen and Play
Whilst the Internet offers all the raw ingredients for a gourmet meal of information and entertainment, you could just end up with a tossed salad. Sites like YouTube, Google, and VEOH are great places to visit and have a few bytes, but what if you want to pack a selection from each to enjoy with your friends later? Well, perhaps the best way is to put a flame to them.
A new tool, flame-Director, is now available that allows anyone to easily capture and compose online video and audio content from all over the internet. This can be kept for personal use, sent to friends or uploaded to an individual’s site packaged as a flame.
A flame is a very small (often less than 1MB), totally self-contained desktop application. It provides simple, menu driven access to collections of online video, audio (mp3) and flash content that can be located anywhere on the Internet. Each flame has an inbuilt player that not only supports all the standard features you would expect, it even has its own Home Theater capabilities which means you can be entertained or educated in comfort.
flames are very versatile. If you are a Podcaster and have a number of archived podcasts, you can repackage them as a collection and re-release them as a flame. Or, if you are a writer or publisher of audio books, flames are an ideal vehicle for delivery to your listeners. Even, trainers and educators can use flames for delivering hours of media based course material, in a simple but very effective way.
There is a free version of flame-Director for all you budding flame Authors (flamers). Or why not just pop in at http://www.theworldmonitor.com and grab a free movie collection or book from the sites flame-library. Contributors to the public library are most welcome.
