15 year old building websites

So I just found this Kid ( I shouldent say that) He is a 15-year-old web developer. He has made other websites. That are pretty amzing.

I found him because of a site he just made called I-tunes Instant. iTunes Instant is basically a search engine for iTunes, which the creator said he made because, “Search within iTunes.app is extremely slow and cluster, I’ve never used it. So I use Apple’s Search API instead, and develop[ed] this app in less than three hours that will make your life better.” A quick test of the app reveals that it does work pretty well — a search for relatively obscure jams returned relatively accurate results in near real time. (However, it doesn’t quite work when searching for both artist and song.)

He writes on his blog titled “The Teen’s Point of View” http://blog.stephenou.com. He said it only took him about 3 hrs to make the websit. This is one smart kid. He has got alot for him.

So go on over & search for music & apps alot faster! http://labs.stephenou.com/itunes#

New main website

While I LOVE what blogger has to offer. I have moved grantmead.com over to wordpress. I have heard there is alot more that I can do. So far I have just being using the wordpress.com. I guess to take advantage of all the features I much integrate into my Microsoft Expression 3. I didnt like how I had to pay for domain mapping & css Editing. I might eventuality use blogger as my main. As I did like the easyness & cost. Please con to follow this blog with the google follower. This site well still be updated on articles & a RSS feed well keep it up to date.

Thanks for following me & checking out my website.

Android Live Broadcast apps

This week Justin.tv released there Android app. to publish LIVE from your mobile phone. (ios coming soon). With the release of this I thought it would be a great moment to look over the 3 most popular live streaming apps from the Droid phone I use. Keep in mind this is just my personal option. Your style or use for it could be different.

1. Justin.tv The sound quality is a little poor. This could be due to my camera not working 100%. I love that you can instantly have a tweet & fb post sent out. You can also chat with the live audience right from the phone. Great Great app & way to publish video to the web over 3G network.

2. Qik This LIVE streaming app works great to publish alot of videos online. You can upload to facebook & somtimes youtube. The downside is there no embeding option. You can only share with your twitter & facebook friends. If you want to publish video fast & simple this would be ideal. However if you are looking to have a LIVE audience & interact with them I wouldent use this streaming Live app.

3. Ustream This app is very good. There are two apps. One to stream to your live Channel & another to view live channels. Its great to have a viewer though there isnt much to it. The live streaming app offers very little option to & publishes very choopy slow video. Even once uploaded it is off on sound. Thats after recording @ 3 different times.
