Fancast - a quick review

Did a quick search of technology and science fiction on the fancast.com site (the first of my related top 10 from Computerworld of top 10 sites and services to look out for), just to see what it held as far as technology news, etc.  No, you have to look for the SHOW by name, not subject area.

This is first glance for now, but I'm not convinced it's for any business application.  ALL entertainment if ever you are looking for it.

Diving into a top 10 services to watch

According to ComputerWorld.com's columnist Mark Sullivan, these are the top the sites and services you should look out for in 2010.

(please use Firefox, IE 7 has problems with the site all the time)

1. Fancast Xfinity TV - Watch TV Episodes online
   
2. Bing.com - A better search engine from Microsoft?  NUH UH!
   
3. Android OS market expands
4. Grooveshark - listen to music online
5. Google Voice
   
6. justin.tv - Live video streamed straight online (according to the article, a sports game was streamed from someone's camera...is that legal?)
7. Clicker - A programming guide for ONLINE video....whodathunkit?
8. Yammer - Connect and share with people in your organization.  Ok, now you got me interested in this one.  It's Twitter for your office.
9. Wikitravel - Yes, wiki for your travels.  It's a place where you can find out other people's experiences to areas around the world.  So you'll get another perspective, experience, viewpoint from other than a Chamber of Commerce type organization.
10. Postabon - Find deals in your area. As of the writing of the Computerworld article, it works only in NYC right now.  But when I visited it, it gave the impression it is now widely available.  We'll see.

So WHY did I post these?  Because I wanted to investigate each one to see how each may impact me as a tech user and me as a business.  I mean, wouldn't you like to know how it could apply to you and your business?

Ok, compute safely.  Why?  Because a colleague of mine just told me his PC has been completely hijacked (yes, the whole "you have no rights to this machine" kind of thing).  I gave him some tools to work with and he insisted he do it on his own.  I wish him luck.   I'll let you know how that goes too.
