There Are No Dancing Elves. But Skype’s Got A Video Greeting Card App For The Holidays.




(No Ratings Yet)Once you’ve dressed up as an elf and danced like crazy with your coworkers it’s hard to get too worked up over a simple video greeting card.

12seconds.tv Rolls Into Public Beta, Launches iPhone Application




(No Ratings Yet)When we wrote about 12seconds.tv back in July of this year, we called it the “real video Twitter“. Rather than droning on for 19 hours on what they had for lunch, users of 12seconds.tv have - you guessed it - 12 seconds to get their point across on video.

(No Ratings Yet)The beginning of what promises to be a fascinating story (and possibly a Hollywood movie) around the rise and fall of Denmark’s IT Factory is starting to emerge.
