Litmos shows Quizmaker on an #Android Nexus One

by Dave Mozealous on May 24, 2010

Over the past week or so I have sent over some content to Litmos so they can show off the beta of their new mobile app that can play and track Articulate content on mobile devices that support the Flash Player.  Well last night Litmos founder @richchetwynd posted the video below showing Articulate Quizmaker working on his Google Nexus One.

This is awesome and is making me want to get a Nexus One :-)  Check it out:

Many thanks to everyone who voted for me in the MyDomain Brand .ME contest.  Because of your votes I won the Best Personal Brand in the Subject Expert category of the contest.

As I mentioned in this post, if I won the contest I was going to give away my iPad.

And the winner of my iPad is @LindaLor!

If you are curious about the stats of the contest…

  • 70+ took part in the #WinDavesiPad contest
  • Over 260 people voted for me
  • Almost 1300 people clicked on the http://mozealo.us/6 link in the #WinDavesiPad tweets

Another huge thanks to Adam Edgerton and the other good folks at http://www.mydomain.com for putting on the contest.  If you need a domain, or domain hosting I highly recommend them.  They sponsored a great contest!

Congrats Linda, I’ll be contacting you about the iPad.

You don’t have to be the first if you are the best

by Dave Mozealous on April 28, 2010

Just something to think about when you are deciding to build that new product.

  • Bill Gates unveiled the Tablet PC in 2000 at COMDEX (10 years before the iPad)
  • Audio Highway announced their Listen Up MP3 player in 1996 (5 years before the first iPod)
  • The GUI (Graphical User Interface) was actually first developed by Xerox, not Microsoft Windows or Apple
  • Screenr wasn’t the first web based screen recorder

It really doesn’t matter if you are first to market.  Often times it makes it easier if someone goes before you because you can learn from their mistakes, learn what you can do better, then execute.

I built a Twitter based search for #Screenr on Mozealous.com

April 12, 2010

If you have ever tried to use the Twitter search you have probably noticed it doesn’t feel much like a search.  It is more of a live filter or live pulse for a specific word, showing you a stream of live tweets containing that word.  Try using the Twitter search at http://search.twitter.com and search for [...]

I have posted them in a diary format so I could see my impressions/feelings/thoughts about the release as time progressed. I also added some context to Tweets that might have seemed [...]

Why Flash on the iPhone/iPad doesn’t solve #mLearning

January 27, 2010

By now you have probably heard about the release of Apple’s new toy the iPad.  One of the biggest disappointments about the device so far is that again it is an apple device that will not initially support the Adobe Flash Player, much like the iPhone/iPod Touch.
Checking Twitter for comments about “Flash” and “iPad” you [...]
