I thought some people might be interested in these new applications if you interact with media, podcasts, and social web sites. The widgets are free resources for museums, educational institutions and people interested in the arts.
There are now museum specific video, audio, and image widget players for individuals with Facebook accounts. These widgets are a great resource if you want to bring exposure to your media in social web sites like Facebook, MySpace or add embed code to a web site, blog or other platforms. The widgets have been approved by Facebook and are listed on the educational widget directory on Facebook. Over 25 million Facebook users now have access to museum uploaded media content with these widgets. If you are not familiar with how this technology works...it is pretty basic. You upload the media to the players at http://mesn.museumpods.com and people that use the widgets on other sites (Facebook, MySpace, blogs, web sites) can view the content. You either need to be logged on Facebook or visit http://mesn.museumpods.com to view or use these widgets. The museum video player. You can upload a variety of video formats to this widget application and people with accounts on Facebook can view the uploaded video. You can also get embed code and upload the player to a MySpace, web site or blog. http://apps.facebook.com/museums/ This is a museum MP3 player (like a jukebox) You can either upload MP3 files or copy the link location of an MP3 file from a web site and paste to the upload feature. People with Facebook accounts can listen to the updated MP3 files. You can also get embed code and upload the player to a MySpace, web site or blog. http://apps.facebook.com/museumpodcast-player/ You can upload images directly to this widget or you can import them from flickr. People with Facebook accounts can view the images in a slide show presentation format. People enjoy seeing images of museums. You can also get embed code and upload the player to a MySpace, web site or blog. http://apps.facebook.com/flickr-mesn-images/ Thanks for your time, Kurt info at museumpods.com
