New YouTube developer tools turn any website into a video sharing hub
There’s lots of buzz about YouTube’s effort to change the site from a video destination to an all-encompassing web video platform with new developer tools.
Wired Blog Network says “the new extended API allows developers to essentially build their own private YouTube, using YouTube to handle video transcoding, but keeping the uploading interface local and branded for their own site.”
Firefox 3 beta 4 released
The need for speed — Firefox 3 beta 4 brings an impressive speed boost and more refinements to Firefox’s sleek new user interface, says Wired Blog Network. The new beta shows “blazing speed improvements, particularly with JavaScript-heavy pages like Gmail which load in about half the time of previous releases.”
The fourth beta release of Firefox 3 (there will be a fifth beta later) also features new improvements to the user interface, particularly in Windows Vista where the UI now matches the look of other platforms.
