A new way to measure continued progress of existence and events.

Today we're introducing a new app to measure the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present and future, regarded as a whole. It's a new way to determine where you are in your day, your week, and even your life, and we're rolling it out across the iTunes App Store, Google Play and Windows Store starting today. We call it Ticky, and we're excited to share it with you.

First, here are a few highlights that make this release stand out:

Explore. The new Ticky for Mobile will allow you to see where you are in the context of your day, and everyone else's, using a concept called tocks. Everyone gets exactly 114,300 tocks from birth to EOL. Simply tap the face and you'll see an at-a-glance visual representation of where you are in your life's path. Tock, tock, tock. It's fun!

Memories. A beautiful sunset; young hands touching for the very first time; the way that special someone made your heart feel, long ago. Now you can record all your memories in Ticky, just by jabbing it with your finger.

A revolutionary design. Examine your contextual progress using a beautiful, existentially flat design.

And finally, Ticky is a way to discover valuable offers, constantly.

One thing you should know is that the universal concept of time will be retired. We understand that you may still want to discover how your progress in the context of past, present and future relates to your peers and all of reality around you. We anticipate that you will now do this using Ticky.

Latakoo in Broadcasting & Cable

We got a mention in Broadcasting & Cable magazine!

You've got to be a subscriber to read it, so here's a pertinent excerpt:

One notable example of those efforts can be found at NBC News, which in 2011 became the first U.S. broadcaster to set up an online site that allowed clients to buy and download archive material, Fon-Sing says. “It is part of an underlying goal of opening up the archives so our clients have easier access,” she says.

To further improve those systems, NBC News is currently working with video company Latakoo to develop a new content delivery system. On a network level, tech teams are also using a new media asset management system that will improve the capacity and flexibility of the archive system.

@obra Yeah, you can add as much metadata as you like, on an arbitrary basis. Multi-dimension arrays also fine. Will work on it.

· Statuses · Share this post

 

@obra ... which is an admittedly huge caveat.

· Statuses · Share this post

 

@obra It actually has one. Every page is also an API endpoint. The only thing missing is token-based authentication.

Replied to a post on s.ly :

@obra Sorry, just saw this - yes, let me think about how to do that.
