Let’s give this new DivShare Uploader Plugin a spin!
The DivShare Blog » Blog Archive » DivShare Uploader: The Wordpress Plugin
The new DivShare Uploader Plugin for Wordpress allows you to upload files directly from your “Write a Post� page to your DivShare account, and insert them into your post with a single click. No HTML, no copying or pasting, no need to even launch a new window. Posting images, MP3s and all types of files to your blog has never been easier.
Wordpress is now at version 2.1. The Development blog gives the lowdown on what was added to the feature set. Seems like they give Wordpress users an argument to upgrade their Wordpress installation.

Viddler.com - Upload, Enhance, Share
I decided to try Viddler based on a SolutionWatch post I read that goes into fairly good detail on this service’s features. Viddler is a free videocasting service that lets you upload or record video to the web. The service is free and in public beta. I made an account and took a 1 1/2 minute of video from my dv camcorder and recorded it directly to the web. The service is straight forward and easy to use. It took a few minutes for Viddler to render the video. My dissapointment came when I tried to see the video. Too many starts and stops due to buffering issues, made the experience end on a bad note. I was working from a DSL line, so I wonder why the service was so slow on showing the video. Things that make you go hmmmmm. Maybe the service works better in the USA. I will find out when I get back to Chicago this evening.
Here are the features of Viddler below.
For serious collaboration you may want to turn your attention to MediaSilo, where multiple authors make comments to video. MediaSilo takes advantage of using the relatively cheap server barn at Amazon Web Services.

BrainKeeper - Capture, Collaborate and Distribute Key Company Knowledge
A new enterprise wiki that is available for small groups to the enterprise.
Since I have been out the game of writing about online services, I may not be accurate on makes this service different from other wiki services. Bringing a hierarchy to wiki pages may seem new but I first saw it in Hieraki, a rails app wiki who’s development has stopped unfortunately. I think it is a good idea to give an organization an easy way to keep order to documents. This service starts at 5 dollars a month for 3 accounts. I like the spell check and search feature , which enables you to search documents uploaded. The workflow and permission service is a new feature that is coming soon online. There is a free trial period.
