Let me clarify why I'm posting this video: it's not comparative advertising or speaking bad of a competitor. I'd just like to revitalize the discussion on one of the points from which the itsme project stems: control over personal data.

These all seems good reason for investing on the Web (let me drop "2.0" please) instead of trying to develop Personal Computing. What do you think about the 10 reasons in the video above? Do you think they impact our work, or (as I do) that user experience of Social Media could only benefit from having...
In this video we show (without any comment) some of the latest features we have introduced in our software prototype. Actually, these are glimpses from a work in progress, let's call them our technical experiments: we have great interaction designers that are finding the best ways to interact with stories and venues. Meanwhile, our development team is stressing the technical features of our prototype, and testing if some of the ideas designers propose are feasible. What you see might not fit into itsme os, but still it's there and we like to show what we do to our community...
It's been some months since we showed (on this site) our prototype. Of course, our code has evolved – both in its visible part and in what's running underneath (Guglielmo). In this video, you'll see the itsme graphical user interface as it is now (well, some days ago: October 2009) and a quick demo of the functions we have:
interaction with panels and venues: re-arranging them, filtering contents with channels and subvenues, drag and drop, and so forth. We omitted showing how to create a new venue and renaming it, but it is possible, of course :)
working with Linux applications:...
Since when we launched the emulator, some times ago, we've been collecting feedback and improving this software demonstrator. Bugs have been fixed, performances have been improved, and several new features have been added. We've produced a new video, very short, to present the major ones:
Drag and Drop: it is possible to create new private messages by simply dragging and dropping a person to the messages channel.
Highlight: related things are coloured in yellow, simply move your mouse around to quickly see what's related.
Comments: posts with new comments since the last visit to the emulator appear in green, and by opening a...

A couple of days ago we had an internal demo of our software prototype: apart from minor problems with screen resolution on my virtual machine, it's been quite good. We showed how we are integrating the itsme front-end with Guglielmo, our meta/data management system. We presented two scenarios:
writing and saving a new document with gedit, from within the itsme UI;
composing and sending email, and getting replies into the right venue.
This means we have Guglielmo running and the itsme front-end exploiting its services, we are successfully integrating some simple Linux applications (text editing) and communicating via email. Moreover, we have the...
