Dynamic load: flash flv and AJAX in twain

In 2007, I made a custom FLV with an external dynamic load:

 

Now, I’ve made an AJAX loader which can pull in any reference html file. For now I’m using it to post some of my poems but the code structure can easily be adapted to load external content from other websites, including images and videos.

Dynamic news RSS + Media Sensors integration

This is a preview of the dynamic AJAX news feed and user commenting page that will be released on @T (Always the Twain) in the New Year 2009. Content is dynamically loaded from multiple rss feeds which users have control over. In the top corner there’s a dialogue box into which the reader’s choice of feeds can be input. This then generates a feed box.

Most importantly each of these boxes is fully…………DRAG+DROP like iGoogle’s UI so users can prioritize their viewing panel. 

 

Additionally, once the feed box has been generated it’s possible to edit the feed — for example if instead of choosing the Technology pages from BusinessWeek users can change it to the Business page feeds. Over time images will also be automatically pulled in. The image below shows that some adjustment on the DIV css needs to be made first — LOL!

 

Once the RSS-all-in-one feature has been tidied up the next stage will be to incorporate the DIV which houses the Media Sensors rating tool into the xhtml. 

 

MEDIA SENSORS

This is completely my original idea. There are several variations on the 5-star rating system coded in Ajax / PHP / CSS as well as the “thumbs-up-thumbs-down” alternatives but there is absolutely no other system like Media Sensors with its proprietary calibration system, ratings pH, 360-2020 perception wheel and savable to a database — initially SQL.

It is arguably the best innovation I’ve originated to-date and something I’m really looking forward to developing further in 2009 because it is………..DISRUPTIVE………..UNIQUE………A GAME CHANGER!
