YouTube release YouTube Capture
YouTube have released their new product YouTube Capture.
This app allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to share video easily and then “upload videos to YouTube, Google+, Facebook and Twitter simultaneously, or share privately with friends and family”.
There is also a nice auto enhance feature that offers “automatic colour correction, stabilisation, trimming and music tracks”.
We think this app will be successful in encouraging users to add content to their YouTube channel. We are yet to test the app and see how good it’s editing features are, but we expect them not to disappoint.
Check out the YouTube Capture video below to give you a little insite into the app in action:
Google Launch Google Currents
Google have launched a new service and App called Google Currents. It is their magazine like content reader that brings to your iPhone, iPad, Android tablet or phone online and high speed offline reading. Google offer a number of free optimised online magazines and other content. Check out the video below:

Here are some of the main points they make:
Add your favorite content
- Add your favorite content – From leading publications, to blogs you follow, you can browse, read, and share favorite content, presented in a swipable magazine format.
- Follow trending stories – Let the breaking stories find you. Personalized “trends” pulls articles, photos and videos into living editions, surfacing new stories as they unfold.
- Designed for all your device – Whether sitting on your couch, riding a train or plane, your Currents content is ready for highspeed reading on your Android or Apple phone or tablet.
All the information will of course be syncronised across your devices. Google Currents is only available in the US at the moment. We’re really looking forward to getting our hands on this over in UK, and can’t wait to start reading the reviews.
Google Reader gets a share button
After forcing us to change the way we use Google Reader in Google’s push towards making us use g+ more, they have made a great decision by giving us back a share option, the share button:
At least now we don’t have to publicly +1 our reader articles just to get them into our g+ stream. The share button allows you to share directly to your g+ groups and is something which is going to prove a popular choice. We will be interested to see what peoples reaction are to this.
Google make it easier to share docs
This is a welcome addition to the Google Docs suite. You are now able to share documents in a few clicks, not that it was really that hard before. As shown in the screen shot below, there is now a link you can click which will bring up the Sharing settings window. Here you can simply add people via their names, email addresses or groups. you can also change permissions for the assigned people too.
