Abstract

This is the eighth talk in the AG1 series:

Myspace, Flickr, Netflix and all that - Hot sites and trends on the web

http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Cool_Websites (seminar wiki)

The (short!) presentations will be very informal and there's lots of interaction with the audience. Rotunda 3rd floor.

----------

flightgear (Anders) - Does a flight simulator qualify as a cool website? Well, only if it comes with cool features on its website. This open source FS uses google maps to show the location of current players. It also offers personal statistics and forums and the like.
http://flightgear.org

springdoo (Ingmar) - Writing short articles for a blog? How old-fashioned! Blog with videos and audio! Upload your video/audio recording to any website. Others can then reply to it ... also with an audio/video message!
http://springdoo.com

10minutemail (Imran) - Ever needed an email address just to receive (and confirm) a registration email? Wish you had not given your true email address? This site gives out temporary email addresses ... which are only valid for 10 minutes!
http://10minutemail.com

Presentations will rougly 10 minutes each.

Send an email to iweber@.. if you would like to present something in
this informal setting. If you don't have any idea yourself, you'll be provided with a choice of websites to present.
