PodCamp SponsorWe are very proud to be a lead sponsor of PodCamp Nashville 2009.  Dolphini feels it is part of our call to action to support the community that we host and to continue to help Nashville grow as a tech community.

BarCamp 2009 will be taking place in October and we are hoping that you and your company will be joining us as leaders and supporters of Nashville’s technology industry.  We know that cash can be hard to come up with in this economy so if you don’t have sponsorship dollars, please make time to get involved on the BarCamp Crew, speak or participate in any way possible.

Giving back to our community is the best way to ensure that we have what Nashville needs to continue to grow.

Thank you to all the PodCamp volunteers who will help make tomorrow the most successful PodCamp Nashville event yet!

See you there!

1: Floola

Floola isn’t an open source application, but it does run on Linux (as well was OS X and Windows). Floola takes music management (in particular, synching iPods) one step further. With this nifty application, you can download and convert YouTube videos for playback on your iPod. But unlike some other clunkier applications, Floola does this seamlessly and simply. No commands to enter; it’s all GUI. The only possible gotcha is that before you can add videos from YouTube, you have to install ffmpeg on your Linux box. Floola uses ffmpeg for the conversion process.

Don’t expect Floola to have all the bells and whistles that iTunes has. Floola offers Photo support, Snarl (Windows only) support, Growl (Mac only) support, Notes, repair iPods, export lists to HTML, language support, lyrics, duplicate and lost file search, artwork support, video support, Google calendar support, playlists, podcast, lastfm support, and more. Floola is simple to use in Linux, as it comes in an executable binary that you can simply copy to the /usr/bin directory and run with the commandFloola.

The facility, which could be as large as 250,000 square feet, would continue a regional expansion that has seen eBay acquire a large data center in Phoenix and expand its facility in Denver. (more…)

The Future of Web Hosting

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

It’s a safe bet that the Web hosting industry of the future will look very different from the one today’s hosting providers are used to, and that’s certainly cause enough.

Over the past year, plenty of signs have emerged that indicate the face of Web hosting is already starting to stretch and shift in new directions. No, the new winds of change include acquisitions of companies that deliver more than just additional hosting customers, a fresh generation of startups that look nothing like your father’s Web hosting company, and experiments with innovative ways to sell hosting to the next wave of customers.
