May be adobe is scared about Apple kicking it out of the web by rejecting flash and refusing to load flash on any of its recent products like iPhones and iPads. Adobe is now working on various other web related projects that may keep them hold their ground on the web 3.0 and further.
HTML5 videos are supposed to be future of the web without the flash. Looks like along with HTML5 video related research, Adobe has a lot of interest in Webkit and especially typography on the web using html5. I am impressed with what they have come up with. Watch this video and I am sure you also will love it. It will be interesting to watch how Adobe places itself in the web related technologies market in the future now that the dominance of flash is questioned.
Watch this demo video of Qwiki and let me know what you think ! I loved the part where qwiki gives daily briefing in the morning. When will you come to Android phones qwiki ? Btw, I got an invite to qwiki through techcrunch !
No, its not a type in the title, but yes, this is available in some parts of the USA as of now, and is an experimental project.
Now the story is, there is this app, called Shopkick, which will be available on Tuesday for the iPhone and in the fall for Android phones. Customers with the Shopkick app will get points (called kickbucks) for entering a store. The points are redeemable for gift cards at the retailers, along with music downloads or credits toward Facebook games.
So you walk in to a store and there is an audio transmitter inside the shop which lets your phone to communicate with it and let the app know that you are inside the store, and gives you few points for it. Some shops may even have a screen with a bar code displayed inside some part of the store, so you get some extra points for visiting that part, like say, its there in the trial room, so you get points for trying some dress … you get the idea right ?
If you were thinking about walking in and out of a store to get points after points, sorry to disappoint you, but shops can limit this, number of visits qualified per day …
If they put it for this certain shopping mall near my house, I dont mind starting the habit of a morning or evening walk

Customer Service is what I do for a living, and Web 2.0 is my passion. That should be the reason why the following Tweet caught my attention, and even made me write this blog post !
Anand Mahindra is the Vice Chairman and Manging Director of the Mahindra group, a leading business group here in India. He is an active twitter user and yea, I remember him asking one of the twitter founders if he can buy some stocks in the company ( yea, on show organized by NDTV )
But Sir, I have seen many companies setting up twitter and facebook accounts, but saw only very few doing something in a way twitter users expect them too.
