Second Life HTML on Prim * build-in web browser to BOOST information handling

Healthinfo Island on Blip.TV
http://blip.tv/file/750124
Please see my little movie and explanation of HTML on a prim and the build-in web browser of the Test version software of Second Life.
You can only see this work if you have downloaded this version that will hopefully will replace the current one!
I can not wait.
Presenting info, is never going to be the same with the Send Current URL to Parcel functionality
See, listen and get excited!

Extra info: -html means webpages (;-)
-the video i made while demonstrating how this is working and can be done, can be seen by anybody on the web.
- the described "technique" however is ONLY to be seen live in SL with the test version of the SL client software.
- what it does is, actually SHOW a live webpage (no copy, no import, no pay) on a screen in SL.
-i showed that live webpage in the (also new) build-in webbrowser. Yes, a web-browser IN SL!

(-You can see practically any webpage IN that web browser. Just type in a url/link or click on links in page you are looking at. You know, when sometimes you click on an object in Sl it gives you a direct link to a webpage in your web browser OUTSIDE SL? Well, with this new version of the Sl software, it will become possible to open that browser INSIDE SL.)

- Are you still with me?
What I was trying to descibe, and to show, is how anybody, but mainly presenters, will be abled to use that build-in browser to CONTROL their presenting screen.
Anybody can see that screen, that's the whole point with a presentation ;-). But the presenter will be abled to CHANGE the screen, by just making sure the desired screen (webpages, web-content) is IN his own build-in web browser first, and then CLICK the button " Send current url to Parcel"
This will cause the screen that everybody is watching to CHANGE into the new web-page.
Does this make ANY sense?
I hope it does.
And if it does not, believe me, this thing will blow the current concept of displays with textures in Sl.

PubMed Search & News Widget

OK, I think Toolbars are great for quick easy access to search databases, free or licensed databases. Users can use this jumpstart search to get to their preferred search engines direct from their browser window. But not everybody is allowed to install browser plugins or add-ons. To distribute the Toolbar functionality like the search & news options, I create derived widgets that can be used as a whole in many social networks , websites and intranet sites, everywhere where it is allowed to put up html. The PubMed Search & News Widget is the latest one. I just got confirmation from Widgetbox that they approved it. "Derived" in this case, means, the widget is using the PubMed Toolbar installed custom searches and the installed rss-feed of PubMed New & Noteworthy .

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

Here a short overview of all new updates around the Journal apps we are supporting. Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!). Bring it on! BrowZine : just published the Android Version of their App to which the CMB UMCG now has a subscription. To be downloaded from Google Play Store or Amazon App Store the following publishers have been added  Project MUSE Cambridge University Press American Marketing Association Academy of Management Royal Society of Chemistry Institute of Physics American Physical Society Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) American Geophysical Union International Society for Optics a...

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that....   Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com.  With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation  ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone  into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things :  the base url string for the RSS feed:  http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For   Inuit Art Zone  the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
