Yamelo – the school disco guide to YouTube music videos
It’s another fashionable YouTube video-mining operations (we should probably call it a “mash up” but we’re way too old for those sorts of youth phrases).
The novelty of Yamelo is the way it sorts music by year and lets you browse artists easily, so if you fancy working away today to a soundtrack of 1991 rave anthems…

20 things I learnt from Le Web 3.0 in Paris: VCs aren't spending, everyone has a video site and no one loves Facebook anymore
If you have been lurking about on Techdigest in the last week or so you’ll know that a few of us have been in Paris at the Le Web 3.0 show. It is the one time of the year when a small part of the French capital morphs into a mini Silicon Valley with lots of entrepreneurs, VCs, web gurus, bloggers and assorted hangers on listening to key note speeches from internet superstars and networking like crazy over radioactive coffee.
Video: See Honda's Asimo robot serve coffee
This is what consumer robotics is all about: humanoid waiters that serve us hot beverages. I’ve just been writing about the new features for Honda Asimo, but there’s also a video showing the bot flaunting his new barista skills. Watch it above.
YouTube Hit: Watch Led Zeppelin's comeback gig
Well, some of it, anyway. Look, there's no tech angle here other than the fact that someone's shot footage of Led Zep on stage last night and posted it to YouTube. But hell, that's good enough for me. Watch them play Stairway To Heaven, and indulge in a spot of desk-based air guitaring. That's not a euphemism.
Shiny Video Preview: Dyson & Issey Miyake's DC16 handheld
On Wednesday evening, Alex and I spent all night vacuum cleaning. Yes, it’s what we do on our nights off from Shiny Towers. We’re simply wiiiiilllld.
Ok, technically, it was a night ‘on’, as we were at a Dyson event, getting hands-on with their new DC16 model, which was made in collaboration with the Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake. Both Issey Miyake…

More mobiles are being targeted at women than you can shake a stick at. Motorola’s U9 handset is a recent example, available…
YouTube Hits: Here comes another web 2.0 bubble
Oh noes, not another video about web 2.0! I hear you, believe me, and that was my initial thought too. But upon hearing the catchy web 2.0-ified lyrics to We Didn’t Start The Fire by Billy Joel, you’re sold.
Watch his video, and watch…
Opinion: Creating our own content will never replace traditional media
Jonathan Weinberg writes…
2012, the year London is set to host the Olympics and also the year Nokia reckon a quarter of all entertainment will be created and consumed within peer communities. They think that in five years time, traditional media as we know it now, will begin to die out further with personally-created content becoming the must-read and must-watch for Internet users within their friend networks and social community sites.
But I just can’t see it. There’s no doubt it’s becoming more and more popular to make your own videos and post them on the web for all to see, but 99 per cent of it is absolute tosh – like the man who can juggle dogs while standing on his head drinking a glass of water and playing the harmonica! PS: Don’t try that at home, it doesn’t exist and we don’t condone cruelty to animals, I just use it as an illustration…
