wordpress plugin for interactive video -
a first look
August 14th, 2008
Kaltura has released a plugin for Wordpress that let’s bloggers:

- Upload, and import videos directly to the blog post (this is what I did a moment ago);
- Edit and remix videos using Kaltura’s online full-featured video editor;
- Easily import video and other forms of rich-media from other sites and social networks, and;
- Allow readers and subscribers to add video and audio comments, and to participate in collaborative videos.
You can find the plugin at the Wordpress Plugins Download Page.
Given that there are plugins that provide for uploading of videos and images, Kaltura’s offering seems most interesting with regard to the editing capabilities they offer. Will be adding to this post once I have the opportunity to try out the 1.0 version of their plugin to see how robust it is and what types of editing capabilities they offer up to bloggers.
I’m a bit concerned that Kaltura’s limiting free video bandwidth to 3Gb. It doesn’t seem like very much data before one has to begin to pay Kaltura for the use of their servers.
I’m downloading it right now and ought to have it up and running here any time now. Feel free to upload a video comment!
The Spacializer Widget - A Soundmixing Lightshow
April 16th, 2007What it is: Roll your mouse over the glowing orbs and mix some music!
The Spacializer Widget represents multiple sound samples, each as a luminescent orb of color. The volume of each sample varies depending upon how close your mouse pointer is to the associated colored orb.
Keep your visitors at your blog by giving them a diversion in between reading your posts!
How to Load it: Just unzip the directory into your wordpress ‘plugins’ directory and it ought to work just fine.
Below you’ll see how I’ve included it on my blog in the past.
