Stickam: An All-in-One Multimedia Communication Tool

I just got a sneak peek at a new and fascinating communication tool called Stickam, which officially launches on February 13th. The application brings live streaming video, video conferencing and multimedia to web pages and blogs. This is one powerful video communications player, and it offers these services with unlimited bandwidth and nothing to download - you just cut and paste the JavaScript or HTML code to an area of your website. All this, and it’s free, too!

People! Live videoconferencing on your blog without having to download or install any software on your computer!

Here’s the breakdown of what Stickam has to offer:

• Easy to install with no downloads.  Simply cut and paste the JavaScript or HTML code to your Web page to enable live streaming video and video chat.
• Completely free with 500MB of storage for videos, photos and music.  Generous per file limit of 100MB for videos and 5MB for images
• Unlimited bandwidth allows for high frame rate images that can be viewed by a virtually unlimited number of people at the same time.
• Video will play on any operating system including Linux, Windows and Mac and can be viewed by site visitors whether they have their own Stickam  player or not
• Upload photos, music and video clips to your Stickam  player that can be viewed anywhere, anytime.  Users can even upload media straight from their cell phone.
• Video conferencing allows users to connect live with family and friends anywhere in the world.  Less expensive and more interactive than a phone call.
• Works with a wide range of popular Webcams.
• Stickam  Player is available in four different sizes. 160×160, 160×200, 160×400 and 480×240.
• Works with Macromedia Flash Player 7 or higher.
• Stickam  allows users to record video straight from their Webcams for use on their sites.
• Stickam  works with Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher for Windows, and Internet Explorer 5.2 or higher for Macintosh.  Users must have Macromedia Flash Player 7 installed.

This is an amazing tool. With everything that it can do, it’s unbelievably easy to use. I already logged in, went live, and chatted with other online users. I saw it used on myspace. I saw it on people’s blogs. This is about to take the internet by storm, you have to see it to believe it…so, look to the right-hand side of this page!

According to this article at the Times of London, there are some major speculations going on about the plans Google has for the dark fiber they have been buying up. And besides the dark fiber purchases, it has been reported that Google has also bought shipping containers, and they put data centers inside of them. It sounds like they have some big plans for something, but what? These new speculations boil down to something like this: Google is building a second internet.

One internet is just not enough, I guess. Besides, Google needs something to run all those Google Cubes on, right? And with ISPs like SBC seriously proposing toll charges for moving data across their pipes, the Googlenet’s time has come. So, here’s my suggestion for the Googlenet: make it free. Make your money off of your advertising, but keep your internet free.

So, I’ve been messing around with the beta version of BlogMad, and so far, so good. The site really has some potential, but it’s not ready to open its doors yet. There are going to be some nice features at BlogMad, some of which I can’t disclose right now. However, there is one big reason to switch to BlogMad, and if I haven’t told you before, that reason is the ratio. The BlogMad ratio is 1:1. You surf one blog, and one person will surf yours in return. Some have said this cannot be done, but let me assure you, these guys have a plan.

Besides, Jeff was mean to me, so won’t you join me in a happier place?
