Bitty Browser

Take a look at the Bitty Browser at the top of the sidebar. Pretty neat, huh? This little guy was created by Scott Matthews at Turnstyle.

It features a directory of miniaturized sites:
  • Web site URL
  • RSS, Atom, XML feed URL
  • Podcast URL
  • Backpack -- username
  • Blogmarks -- tag
  • Blogmarks -- username
  • Blogspot -- username
  • del.icio.us -- tag
  • del.icio.us -- username
  • FeedBurner -- feed id
  • Flickr -- tag
  • Flickr -- pool
  • Furl -- tag
  • Furl -- username
  • LiveJournal -- username
  • LiveJournal -- community
  • MSN Spaces -- username
  • Technorati -- tag
  • Wists -- tag
  • Wists -- username
Select the site and plug in the argument and you're mini-browsing right inside another web page! It has a built-in feed reader, and you can launch a detached and resizeable copy of the browser. Every blog should have one!

emff player

Here's another Flash MP3 player, the emff player from http://www.marcreichelt.de/spezial/musicplayer/. Free for download. I don't want to bother downloading this one, so I'll borrow one by doing a Google search on the player name, emff_lila.swf. I'll borrow one from http://tulks.com/lessons/podcasting/emff_lila.swf. Again, git'cher own, there's no copyright issues as with the Wimpy player in a previous post Wimpy, it's just not nice to borrow bandwidth without asking.

The object embedding is straight-forward, supply the URL in two parameters:



Here's emff playing the live MP3 stream from the student run radio at the Leibniz Computing Centre of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, a righteously rockin' station:
