Indexhibit is a web application used to build and maintain an archetypal, invisible website format that combines text, image, movie and sound.

Check out the participants list for some of the ways people are using it or drop by Leah Shea to see a portfolio in action.

Cameron Hunt Moves to Chyrp

Cameron Hunt has now moved his publishing platform over to the previously mentioned Chyrp. I always thought it was cool how well he had integrated Tumblr, Textpattern and static pages to build cameron i/o. I can see how moving to one platform would be much easier – cameron i/o.

I only hope Chyrp will soon be able to import feeds in a manner similar to Tumblr (without the 5 feed limit).

Chyrp V1.1 Released

Chyrp was mentioned a while back as a stand-alone alternative to a hosted tumblelog. The platform was updated today to version 1.1 adding several extensions to make it a more viable solution.

I also really like the redesign of the Chyrp site!

Tumblr, Inc. Introduces Tumblr 3.0

Will Wilkins — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 03:29:20 +0000

Tumblr, Inc. (formerly Davidville) introduced Tumblr 3.0 today. The 3.0 offering boasts “Over 400 new features, fixes, and improvements”.

Some highlights include:

Video updates (Integration with Vimeo)
Option to use Markdown
An archives page

The new updates also take consideration of the iPhone into account. I am just dying to get one!

You can already post text and photos from any mobile phone, but the new Tumblr interface has considered the iPhone in every aspect. Not only is the new interface a pleasure to use, but there is something absolutely magical about using the real Tumblr on an iPhone.

The new site design looks nice. However, I sort of preferred the simpler “1 page of settings” approach. While not included in the updates, there are teasers of tagging, search and comment support.

So if the WordPress Tumble-Hybrid is not your cup of tea, Tumblr may be.

See a many more details on these updates – Third time’s a charm « Davidville.
