Ryan Stewart referenced a Forbes report today stating that there have already been 40,000 downloads of the Apollo runtime. Since it also states that 30,000 users have downloaded the SDK we can assume that they also downloaded the runtime, however as these developers begin building Apollo apps and sharing them I think the pace should pick up even more. Apollo adoption is looking good if things keep going this way.
Less than a week after Searchles TV was released, Sony’s Grouper has sent Searchles a Cease & Desist letter. Grouper - a video hosting site - asserts that Searchles has violated the Federal Lanham Act and that Searchles’ video player “effectively stripped away Grouper’s extensive copyright protection system.”
Interestingly enough, Grouper itself is being sued for copyright infringement.
But the most exciting part of the story is all the press that Searchles TV received as a result of Grouper’s cease and desist letter! Check out these links:
Searchles - a Web 2.0 social search engine - has just released Searchles TV! Searchles TV is a video player that lets you combine multiple videos in any order using multiple sources like YouTube, Google Video, MySpace, Blip.tv or Grouper and play them through one viewer either at Searchles or on your blog or website without the hassle of using editing software.
We at SmartLogic Solutions created the actual video player itself using Adobe Flash.
