Getting Creative With #Quora API
Brilliant ideas, one and all for building on Quora.
Amplify’d from www.quora.com
Take Quora API, stir in social graph until thoroughly mixed: 60% Twitter, 30% Facebook, 5% LinkedIn and other to taste.
Blend in PostRank (company), and Disqus API spiked with Klout API - just like choc bits.
Pour into into a nicely arranged Widget container and bake until minimally viable product.
Sprinkle with a touch of UI panache and mobile ready condiment.
Serving suggestion: Deliver it PubSubHubbub style through a hotbed of a QwikiSuggest EditsSuggest edits to the author of this answer:Quoraecipe

- Users relationship graph
- Votes per user per topic studies
- "Who should you recommend that question to ?"
- "Who is a quality poster on your question's topic ?"

Good luck!Suggest EditsSuggest edits to the author of this answer:Doubtful. The only thing I can think of is analyzing the Tumblr backup file and the WordPress database to see if you could port the data between the two: http://www.tumblr.com/goodies
Good luck!Justin Whitaker, ConsultantTumblr does not have any robust blog importing tools. I'm hoping that's a feature they add at some point, maybe in response to competition from Posterous.
There are some sneaky ways of getting around this, though.
1) Use the snipplr.com PHP script to import from Wordpress to Tumblr via the APT. This can be hit or miss, depending on your formatting.
2) Use the Tumblrize WP plugin to cross post all of your posts.

This is a kludgy hack around the problem, but you can specifiy a Tumblr post type for each WP entry, so that could be useful. The plugin is supposed to keep your sites in sync, so dates, tags, etc. should carry over.
3) You can feed Tumblr your Wordpress blog via RSS. No idea how well this works, and it only allows you to select a limited number of post types (Text, Photos, etc.).
4) If you have a small number of posts (<40), you may want to do it by hand. I had one small blog that I did that with. Not the most time efficient solution, but you can select tags, dates, formats quite easily that way.
Keep in mind, none of these will bring any comments/trackbacks/etc. with them.

Look at the options in Tumblr and Ping.fm to select Facebook accounts, pages, groups, and Twitter accounts, Posterous blog, Google and Yahoo updates, etc. to share to.
Lastly, consider Amplify for sharing - with an added comment - blog posts, and pages throughout the web (I will do it with this one, from Can I migrate my WordPress blog to Tumblr? ) to accounts that you designate in Amplify. With Amplify you also have an each-time option to pick and choose the share options that you already installed, as well as a handy feature which allows you to highlight page sections to Amplify (share) - rather than sharing entire URL contents (pages, as-is).

Webcasting made EASY < thanks, @PatLuczak @tom_streeter
From Tom Streeter, webcasting (and beer) expert, advice on using your webcam:
Your miniDV camera almost certainly has a Firewire/IEEE1394/iLink connection. It's just one connection, but different manufacturers called them by different names. If your camera is a Sony it'll be called iLink. Other manufacturers called it Firewire or IEEE1394. One thing, three names. Same thing, regardless.
Anyway, if what you're doing is transferring video from a DV tape, your computer will need a Firewire card. It probably doesn't have one. If you go to Amazon and search for "Windows XP Firewire Card" you'll find a listing of them. They aren't expensive. Make sure you look at "plain" Firewire and not Firewire-800 cards. You'll also need a Firewire cable to attach your camera to the computer. You should also see it noted that the card is OHCI-compatible.
Your editing software of choice should recognize your camera when you have the software open and you plug in the camera. At that point, when you start importing, you will be bringing in the video losslessly. The video was written to tape with a degree of lossy compression and there's no way to recover that information, but the bystestream emitted by the camera from the tape will be written to disk without loss during the transfer process. It's really best to think of this as a file transfer from tape to disk than any sort of digitizing process.
The situation is different if what you're thinking of is using a DV camcorder as a video capture device only while intending to use the computer as a hard-disk recorder. For that you'll use whatever analog outputs the camera has: component outputs would be best (Red, Blue, Green color-coded connectors + 2 Audio), though S-Video connectors are most common. Many are limited to a simple composite output (usually a yellow video cable connector + 2 audio cables).
On the computer end you'll need an analog capture card of some sort. If you want lossless, don't buy any video capture device that attaches to the computer via USB: those will both digitize and compress the video. Rather, get a card like the Viewcast Osprey 230 (or if we're truly talking audio only, the venerable Osprey 100). Then go to http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/huffyuv.html and download a copy of the HuffYUV Codec and follow the instructions to install it. For good measure, go to http://www.virtualdub.org/ and grab a copy of VirtualDub. You'll then be set up to take a video image directly from the capture sensor and record it losslessly on disk without ever invoking the camcorder's compression circuitry. Make sure you have a very big disk.
Finally, let me add a good Q/A via Quora: http://www.quora.com/Streaming-Video/Who-has-the-best-live-streaming-video-technology?q=live+streaming
Amplify’d from www.rainenatural.com
“Give front row seat to your all viewers by Live Streaming Solution”
