Closed Sign by Ken Hawkins is licensed under CC BY 2.0 Well, it’s been a real gas serving up treats in the Web 2.0 Test Kitchen. We were able to go over quite a few Web 2.0 tools, communities, and related materials that contribute to sharing, collaborating, and the exchange of knowledge. I never expected to commit to this many blog posts and as we started this adventure, I definitely did not believe it could be done. However, I’ve learned to appreciate the process and look forward to taking these experiences to another platform As they say, it's so hard to say goodbye. Until next time, cheers!
Sound wave by betmari is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0 As my recent blog entry on Audacity mentioned Ogg Vorbis, I thought I’d try to give an explanation of this technology a shot. Ogg Vorbis is an open source, studio level audio encoding and streaming media. It’s licensed under the GNU General Public License and is supported by a community of developers. The .ogg file format may not be recognizable to most but can be recommended as a substitute for .mp3. It is valued for it’s low bandwidth and benefits to efficient storage. Where Vorbis is the audio compression, Ogg is the container format. Both technologies were developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation. The combination of Audacity to create and edit files and exporting to .ogg shows how open source solutions can be expertly applied to your next project.
