Twelephone Is A Telephone That Connects To Your Twitter Feed And Your Customers
Twelephone is a new service for making calls right from your Twitter account. The service is one of the first to use the new WebRTC standard, which allows for real-time communication in the Chrome browser via JavaScript APIs. The enterprise will serve as Twelephone’s business model. The idea: a customer with a problem with a product or service gets reached through Twitter. The consumer gets a voice or video call by clicking on a link in a tweet. WebRTC will soon be available on Firefox and Opera. Microsoft says it is on their roadmap. Apple has not said if WebRTC will be supported in Safari. With WebRTC, Twelephone Founder Chris Matthieu says his service can capture the microphone and camera on a user’s computer — all on high-definition audio and video without the middleman. No Flash is needed. Instead, the P2P network offers the capability to create data channels, such as audio and video, instant messaging, and file transfers. It provides a secure, encrypted connection.

Platfora Seeks To Brings Simplicity And An Apple Style Ease Of Use To Big Data Analysis
Platfora has unveiled an in-memory big data app that tackles a capability lacking in most software offerings that leverage Hadoop for big data analysis. Most solutions that leverage Hadoop have complex, technically oriented, user interfaces and require deep technical skills from people who have backgrounds in statistics and engineering. An added plus, and rare to find, are people with data visualization skills. The people with these skills often get labeled as “data scientists,” and are some of the most highly sought after people in tech. Platfora’s apps sit on top of Hadoop — a distributed infrastructure envionment for aggregating and analyzing data. It complements Hadoop distributions such as Cloudera and Hortonworks. It is accessible though a web-based interface with particular attention put on accessibility for the average user. The data revolution is having quite an impact on the overall IT market – a fact not lost on young vendors such as Platfora. A Hadoop infrastructure ...

Microsoft Picks Another Web Standards Fight
mikejuk writes "WebRTC is a way to allow browsers to get in touch with one another using audio or video data without the help of a server. Google has been something of a pioneer in this area, and submitted a suggested technology for the standard. Mozilla has gone along with it, making it all look good. Microsoft, on the other hand, just seemed to be standing on the sidelines, watching what was happening. However, Microsoft now has a product that needs something like WebRTC; namely, Skype. It has been working on a web-based version of Skype and this has focused the collective mind on the problems of browser-to-browser communication. It now agrees that a standard is needed, just not the one Google and Mozilla are behind. Microsoft has submitted its own proposals for CU-RTC-Web or Customizable, Ubiquitous Real Time Communication over the Web, to the W3C. It may well be that Microsoft's alternative has features that make it superior, but a single standard is preferable to a better non-standard. ...
