NewsGlobe - Visualize Breaking News on a Rotating 3D Globe

Lucas J. Shuman an engineer of Yahoo!'s Media Innovation Group has created a new way to browse Yahoo News top stories. He used latest Adobe Flash Player and ActionScript 3 to create this tool.

The Yahoo! NewsGlobe represents the information or breaking new in a virtual environment. It consist of basic pieces: a Yahoo! News Top Stories RSS feed, a geo-encoding web service from Yahoo! Maps, and a free, open-source library of 3D classes for ActionScript 3 called Papervision3D. The application loads the Y! News RSS feed every few minutes and extracts the dateline for each story. It sends this descriptive textual information off to the Yahoo! Maps service to find a matching location, and return latitude and longitude coordinates for it. The rest is simply a matter of using the 3D classes in ActionScript to create a visually engaging experience that's either automated or interactive.

Yahoo's OpenID Service now Available as a Public Beta

Yahoo has launched a public beta version of their much-anticipated OpenID Provider service which was announced earlier this month. Now users with a Yahoo! account - all 248 million of them - will be able to sign in to any website that supports OpenID 2.0, the latest version of the OpenID specification.

You can use OpenID service on the OpenID 2.0 supported sites like Plaxo, Jyte, Pibb (for more sites see the full list)

They are also working on non-US English versions of this service. Though it is already available for 17 countries, they expect to roll out even more international support in the very near future.

FlickrDown - A Flickr Mass Downloader

Flickr is the most popular image hosting site because it hosts your images without any cost for bandwidth or storage.

Uploading photos to Flickr is easy, you can find many uploading tools, but to download photos you need to get it one by one. Flickr doesn't provide facility like Google’s Picasa Web Albums, it gives a link through which user can download whole image set or album.

FlickrDown is a small and freeware utility which let you download images from any Flickr user direct to your Computer. You can download photos by specifying Flickr a Username, email address, tag or group name and start the search. The search will reveal all thumbnails of the images that were found and you can either check the ones that you would like to download or check the search term so that all pictures are downloaded to your computer.

FlickrDown is only for Windows users and requires Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0

Yahoo! Supports OpenID

OpenID allows us to have a simplified login experience across the Internet. Many sites now supporting this service for the globalization of their users identity.

Yahoo! announced their support for the OpenID 2.0 digital identity framework for all 248 million active registered Yahoo! users worldwide. In addition to the many leading Yahoo! services users already enjoy, anyone with a Yahoo! ID will be able to use the same ID for easy access to any sites that support OpenID 2.0.

Yahoo!s OpenID service will be available in public beta on January 30. Now users will have transparent web experience by allowing them to use their custom OpenID identifier on me.yahoo.com or to simply type in "www.yahoo.com" or "www.flickr.com" on any site that supports OpenID 2.0. Alternatively, web sites that accept OpenID 2.0 will be able to add a simple "Sign-in with Your Yahoo! ID" button to their login pages that will make it even easier for their users. Yahoo! is working with several partners, including Plaxo and JanRain, to make it possible for users to access these sites with their Yahoo! ID from the first day of the public beta.

According to TechCrunch,
With this move, Yahoo! users will be able to log in to more than 9,000 OpenID compliant websites with their Yahoo IDs.

I think after this announcement of Yahoo, most web services will support OpenID as any Yahoo ID will become an OpenID which can be used to authenticate on any site that accepts OpenID's. What you think, will it boost the use of OpenID service.
