Google Moderator - A place for online discussions




Google drops another bombshell launching Google Moderator. It is an application used to discuss the tough and questions from the current situation regarding politics to technology. . There are always lots of hard-hitting questions to ask in a limited time frame, but to find which question grabbed user attention the most is a tough ask. Google Moderator allows adding frequent questions and cast your votes on the queries made others, so that’s how the app works.









Taliver Heath designed Moderator as a side project and it works on Google App Engine. The blog of the app engine describes the product.
To me this app engine worth a tryout.

Go Animate



Everyone in this world likes animated characters specially when it comes to portray one’s individuality. There are lots of websites serving the way discussed above. These sites give you a chance to generate animated cartoon characters of your desire along with custom design. According to me the sites I am talking about is may look like implemented for kiddies. GoAnimate provides you the same feature discussed above but in a way like no other. Start your day by using templates provided by GoAnimate. You can add animated series of scenes like a video clip






There lie a variety of characters that can be in line for your animation clip and they’re easy to customize. You can upload any photo over a character to add a little humor to it (like Elf-Yourself). To make things easy, you can search Flickr or your Facebook account for images. You can also add other media, such as sounds, music and your voice, to make your animation look more professional.

Animations are shareable across a variety of social networking and social bookmarking sites, as well as embeddable, so it’s easy enough to create viral content from your GoAnimate account, though I’m somewhat surprised to see YouTube missing from the distribution “share” list. What I find particularly interesting about GoAnimate’s site and business model is the fact that the team behind GoAnimate has also forged some deals with licensed animated content so that it can be used by animation creators on the site, and shared across the Web. This introduces some marketing potential on the part of many animators, both well-known and independent, not to mention other brands that would like to partake in user-generated animations as well.
Bringing such creation tools to the average Web user is part of a larger trend we’re seeing across a number of Flash-based spaces, including games and multimedia content-sharing from companies like EA Games. As such media becomes further integrated into the social media sites we already frequent, monetization will encourage even more feature development to simplify the creation and sharing process.

Planzone

There is a good old saying “It’s not the man who plan to fail but it’s the man who fails to plan”? To be honest planning at times may become very hectic and more sort of a headache. It becomes more sort of a headache. Take it from me who always fails to plan but maybe not any more! Planzone ; now that’s what I call “To be at the right place at the right time”. It’s an online zone for saving and sharing all your work/projects/wikis/data with your colloquies and clients by hosting on the web. The idea behind it is to plan and perform the work in simplest and easiest way possible.

Once considered the revolution for planning Microsoft Project may look like never existed. The difference between Planzone and so called Microsoft project was that you cannot share your projects to your colloquies and friends as it was never molded the way planzone is working i.e. for online collaboration. It was only a one man show rather than a team work.
