Hulu Partners With “American Idol” Creator For Web Reality Show
Simon Fuller, creator of "American Idol," is partnering with Hulu on an online reality program that follows the lives of five people hoping to make it in Hollywood. The new online program called "If I Can Dream" will launch in early 2010 with each episode streaming exclusively on Hulu. Hulu says "If I Can Dream" will be the first recurring show to be available to international audiences. Hulu and Clear Channel will create a distribution partnership with MySpace as well. " If I Can Dream " will have a customized page on MySpace allowing fans of the show to interact with the cast via comments and sharing. The ad-supported program has signed on Pepsi and Ford as its first two major sponsors. "Innovate is not a buzzword for Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment. They've consistently delivered extremely high quality content in innovative ways, and helped to change how viewers engage with entertainment," said Andy Forssell, SVP of Content and Distribution at Hulu. "That's a great match with what Hulu is all about, Continue reading

Gmail Gives Users New Default Text Styling Feature
Google has introduced a new Gmail Labs feature, which gives Gmail users control over the default style of their text. In other words, you can set how you like your text to appear normally, and it will automatically appear that way. "In the early days of email, messages were simple text meant to be read on a terminal. But with the growth of the web came the advent of HTML email, and overnight people began expressing themselves through bold and italics, colors and images, and whatever else their creativity inspired," Google says . "If you like to use a specific text style for your messages, you've had to change the font every time you're about to start typing out an email." The purpose of this new Labs feature is to change that. If you turn the feature on, you can easily control how your message looks and alter that setting when you need to. "If you live and breathe code, now you can set your default text style to a monospace font. If your life is purple, your email can be, too," the company adds. "But remember: whatever you see is what your recipients will see, so be nice to them and try not to clog the intertubes with ginormous bold italicized red script." Just like with any other Gmail Labs feature, you will need to go to the Labs tab in your settings and activate it. If you've not messed around with Gmail's Labs features, you will likely find some other useful features to activate as well. Related Articles: > Continue reading

Google Experiments with a New Image Search Feature
Google has launched a new Labs experiment dealing with image search. The feature is called Image Swirl , and attempts to deliver the user image search results in a different and more visual interface. Google describes Image Swirl: Google Image Swirl organizes image search results into groups and sub-groups, based on their visual and semantic similarity and presents them in an intuitive exploratory interface. Think about Image Swirl as kind of a visual image version of the wonder wheel . The wonder wheel performs a very similar task with text. This works with actual images (not just image queries). Here's what it looks like: Google says to try Image Swirl to resolve an ambiguous query visually, such as "apple," "jaguar," or "beetle." They also suggest using it to explore different visual perspectives on queries like "Eiffel Tower," "beach," or "impressionism." You can only use the feature for select queries at this point. It's not just like performing a regular image search. They give you a list of possibilities in addition those mentioned above, but it is not limited to those. I tried searching for several band names, for example, and they all seemed to work. After that quick test run, I could actually see this being useful in a shopping scenario. For example, when I search for the band " Converge ," I get one result that shows a t-shirt, and when I click on that, it brings up other t-shirt results from various sites. If I was looking to buy a new Converge t-shirt, that could come in quite handy. Google Labs experiments are of course just that - experiments. Some of them blossom into full-fledged Google products. Others sit there and collect dust. I can already see a great deal of potential in this one, however, and based on Google's use of the Wonder Wheel in its search options, I could easily see this one making a jump to the image search options. What do you think of the Image Swirl? Would you use this if it was a feature of Google Image Search? Share your thoughts .
