Mobuzz, a four-year-old Madrid-based web studio, says the economic
downturn has starved it of the €50,000 ($65,235) it needs each month to
run the company and has pitched its users a call for €120,000 Euros in donations by this weekend to keep its five daily shows up and running.
I am regular of the show and it would be a shame to see it go.
Gelaskins-Deutschland adds BlackBerry skins to their portfolio. Nice. Currently have a BlackBerry Curve in the studio for testing.
Anybody that is doing clean separation of code and design in PHP has surely heard of the Smarty template engine. Smarty 3.0 has just been released as an alpha release and clearly shows how powerful the next iteration will be.
“The Smarty 3.0 engine is well on its way, morphing every day.”

Tommy Maintz has created a fun project called GameJS a 2d game development framework using JavaScript and Canvas.
After some short interruption, portalZINE and all its related websites are back up on a new setup. I plan to do another move sometime next year, moving to my own root server, but for now the managed solution will take some work of my hands, even though it has its limitations.
Cheers
Alexander

While Sevenload still is a small video network compared to some of the big players, it is really listening to its content providers and constantly works on ways to help promote their talents.
Besides the direct distribution of our content, Sevenload is currently the next in line to get our latest episodes. Viewership is constantly rising and I get alot of feedback via Email from Sevenload users.
Here in Germany Sevenload is the best solution to promote your show, as it also provides good quality reencoding of your content.
I was a big fan of DailyMotion in the past, due to its HD video integration options, but its just not inviting many new viewers to a regular show. I am watching statistics closely and DailyMotion is not at the top of those.
As an official content provider, you need to request frontpage coverage each time and sometimes those get buried before they even got popular.
I will continue to provide my content via DailyMotion, but will shift my priorities to other video distribution networks first.
Glad to hear that, as I am hosting portalZINE TV over there and their support has been outstanding for the past months.
Vimeo is trying to provide pro accounts as well, but from what I can tell its hardly an affordable option for anyone starting a show :)
