Jot Developer Connection Upgrade

Filed under: — Scott McMullan @ 12:45 pm

The past 48 hours haven’t been kind to the JotSpot developer connection site. It’s running an older release of our service and must have eaten some bad chicken or something else that left it unsettled.

We’re working on it and it should be back singing by the end of the day. Sorry for the down time.

Strmz.com: JotSpot-Powered Video Clip Sharing Service

Filed under: — Scott McMullan @ 2:07 pm


Mandalan Media recently launched the beta of strmz.com (pronounced “streams"), a JotSpot-powered video clip-sharing destination. Strmz.com features up-to-the minute videos from major media outlets such as NBC, HBO, and Comedy Central, along with popular video blogs and top-rated content from video upload services like Google Video.

Strmz.com is a great example of Jot’s capabilities as a “software as a service platform,” designed to bring a new generation of focused vertical apps and services to market.

Mandalan Media president James Brennan says, “The site uses JotSpot’s wiki software to mashup RSS video feeds, video blogs, and podcasts – and allow members to subscribe to favorite channels, create and share playlists and clips, and export personalized RSS feeds. The site also integrates RSS feed management services provided by FeedBurner to distribute aggregated RSS video channels through popular feed reading services.”

Congrats James and good luck!
