The website http://www.MYSUMMER.com is a new and fast growing site that is attracting considerable attention. It is a photo uploading and photo sharing experience built aroud the concept that Summer “It’s not just a season, it’s a state of mind!”. As the colder months close in upon us, it’s interesting to learn that the MYSUMMER.com website traffic continues to incease. It confirms the fact that people love Summer and enjoy viewing Summer related photos at any point in the year (and perhaps even more so as the temperatures drop!). The MYSUMMER.com site is a very creative and interesting way to visually experience the many fun and exciting outdoor activities people are involved in during their special Summer months. It probably shouldn’t be a surprise that Summer has such a universal mystique and appeal to people all aound the world. If you combine the three months of summer in both the Northern and Southern hemisperes, it represents one-half of the year and that’s a signficant part of anyone’s calendar. That being the case, it’s time to say hat’s off to those designers and marketer folks at MYSUMMER.com for their fresh and unique approach to the photo sharing category!

[...] Google/YouTube買収騒動のその日、YouTubeはUniversal Musicとのライセンス契約を発表した。どうやらGrouperとBolt.comは聞かされてはいなかったようだ。Universal Musicは、自分よりも知名度の低いビデオ共有サイト2社、Bolt.comと最近Sonyに買われたGrouperを相手どり、同社として初のオンラインビデオ訴訟に強く出た。訴訟の標的は、ウェブサイト上でユーザーが不法コピーしたアーティストのビデオを交換しあう機能で、著作権侵害1件につき最高$150,000(15万ドル)の賠償を求めている。Bolt.comのやり方はYouTubeとほぼ同じく、ユーザーはブラウザーでFlash版のビデオを見られるだけで、ビデオをパソコンにコピーすることはできない。Bolt.comを閉鎖するか、ウェブサイトから映像データを消してしまえば誰も見ることはできなくなる。一方、GrouperではユーザーがビデオをパソコンやiPod, PSP（プレイステーション・ポータブル）などにダウンロードできる。かつてNapsterが音楽でやっていた時と同じように、Grouperのビデオを一旦パソコンにダウンロードしてファイルにしてしまえば、Grouperが閉鎖しようが、ビデオがGouper.comからなくなろうが、ユーザーは永久にそのビデオを見ることができる。 [...]
