CrunchGear gets the first hands-on with Asus' coveted Eee Keyboard on the show floor at CES 2009. It's pretty much a whole home theater PC in a keyboard, and it's slick as hell.

Elevator Pitch Friday: Toksta’s Browser-Based IM (With Free Puppies)

tokstacom@www.youtube.com

Today’s featured Elevator Pitch comes from Toksta, a browser-based instant message/chat client that can be integrated into most websites with only a few snippets of code. The service supports text, voice, and video (Flash is required for the latter two), and is free. The site generates revenue by placing ads in the browser-based chat windows, and allows site owners to participate in a revenue sharing agreement (you can also pay for a premium, ad-free whitelabel version).

Wii wish you a merry Christmas

CamCorderPd@www.youtube.com

I think we’re all familiar with the infamous Nintendo 64 freakout. And on Christmas Eve Nicholas shared some Wii-inspired freakouts. The following clip was not part of that collection of Christmas cheer. No, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest, like the shining star atop the tree.

Me2: Swap Contacts On Your iPhone To The Nostalgic Squeals Of A 56k Modem

retsyx@www.youtube.com

Me2, a new app that just went live on the App Store, allows users to transfer their contact information in a way that is sure to stir up some familiar (and perhaps not so fond) memories for any computer user over the age of 12. Using similar technology to the modems of yesteryear, the free application transfers data between two iPhones using a brief series of audible chirps. To send a contact, users simply push their phones together, select which contact they’d like to send, and wait for the 1-second burst of sound to transfer their information. It might be old school, but it’s very cool. Read the full post on Techcrunch: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/01/04/me2-swap-contacts-on-your-iphone-to-the-nostalgic-squeals-of-a-56k-modem/

YouTube Looks Back At A Year In Video; Hulu Brings in 2009 Live From New York

WeCan08@www.youtube.com

YouTube is posting their year end review of the top videos, measured by ratings, favorites and number of comments. Last year they posted just 10 videos. This year, 24. They’ll be posting one per hour all day today and then summarize them at midnight when everyone will presumably find them much funnier because they’ve been drinking for hours (hopefully not alone watching the Big Apple fall live on Hulu).

Organize Your Company With WizeHive (Beta Invites)

mike@www.vimeo.com

Yammer definitely started something. The enterprise Twitter service has more competition today from Wizehive, a Web-based group messaging and task management service for businesses. WizeHive just launched in beta. We have 500 invites (just enter “TC2009″ when you sign up).

RjDj Continues To Be The Most Trippy App On The iPhone (And I Love It)

billaboop@www.youtube.com

Back in October I wrote about a new iPhone app called RjDJ, which I described as “An Awesome, Trippy Soundtrack For Your Life“. The application includes a set of entrancing songs that go on forever, using the iPhone’s internal microphone to ‘listen’ to the noises and voices heard in your proximity to dynamically create music. It’s a bizarre and totally unique experience that you should try if you haven’t already.

Will It Blend iPhone App: For the man who has everything

Blendtec@www.youtube.com

Need 20 “Will it Blend?�? episodes? Have .99? Then the great god Odin is smiling upon you today for Tom Dickson of Blendtec has an app for you. Blendtec’s decision to blend stuff that should be blended is a marketing coup. Think about it: have you ever heard of Blendtec? Nope. Then they started doing videos of them blending stuff and the rest is history. I never much followed this meme but there’s no shame in loving you some controlled destruction.

BookSprouts, A Social Network For Book Worms And Clubs

booksprouts@www.youtube.com

Reading books is usually a solitary experience, but it triggers social activity as well, as the ongoing success of real-life book clubs shows. BookSprouts is a fairly new online community dedicated to book readers who love discussing books over a nice cup of virtual coffee. The social network is designed to make it easy to start an online book club, discuss books with other individuals, organize meetings and write up reviews.

Why Googlers Call Friend Connect “FriendSense�?

GoogleDevelopers@www.youtube.com

It’s always fun to hear what Google employees call various projects when they think no one is listening. In 2007 they called the upstart Hulu joint venture Clown Co. as a private joke about the messy start to that unlikely company (I was right there mocking Hulu with them, but later gave them their due when they failed to fail).

The Richter Scales Are Back. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

TheRichterScales@www.youtube.com

Anyone remember the laugh-out-loud Richter Scales song from last year called Here Comes Another Bubble? It’s embedded below in case you’ve forgotten, as well as the version they performed at the Crunchies. Well, they’re back with their most recent song, a slight variation on Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. “Desperate times call for desperate Christmas carols. Here’s our contribution. Enjoy the video, and then go enjoy another egg nog. And another. And another.�?

First real iPhone 3G software unlock

PuntoCellulare@www.youtube.com

Put on your woot hats and prepare your fun cannons because the iPhone 3G is getting its official unlock on New Year’s Eve. Isn’t it a little cynical to launch a cellphone unlock on New Year’s Eve? Listen: the folks who will buy an iPhone, break the contract, and soft unlock the thing probably won’t be hanging out in the Rainbow Room come midnight. They’ll be snug in their beds, tapping warily at their MacBook trackpads, counting down the seconds for the first true soft unlock of the iPhone 3G. And they say technology isn’t destroying human interaction. Read the full story on CrunchGear: http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/12/21/first-real-iphone-3g-software-unlock/

Techfluff.tv - UK Internet culture delivered with a wink

TechfluffTV@www.youtube.com

After a couple of episodes, it’s becoming clear that Techfluff.TV is in many respects the UK’s answer to Pop17 and RocketBoom. Every week TechFluff delves into the world of web-celebrities and tech startups, particularly the London scene right now, but increasingly across Europe (if the Le Web video is anything to go by).
