SplashCast

While checking out the recently prettified blog of our Portland-based friends at db clay (we’re super excited about their forthcoming series of environmentally-friendly wallets), I fell hard for a new and glorious form of media player. SplashCast, a new start-up also based in Portland, enables users to create streaming media “channels” that mix together music, video, text, photos, narration, and RSS Feeds, as well as PowerPoint presentations and PDFs. SplashCast is a “skinless” media player, which means that it is wonderfully adaptable to individual sites’ branding and design- in other words, the player will blend seamlessly into whatever you’ve got going for you, without any rubbish YouTube borders, etc. SplashCast also makes it easier to track views, something that can help you figure out whether to keep up your daily posts or call it quits (just kidding; you write because you love it, right?). Because SplashCast is free — and from what I can tell, easy to use — you have little reason not to try it out. Download this little gem here, then let us know what you think.
