• Microsoft (Silverlight) - supports both HTTP and Adaptive streaming with their SmoothHD.
• Adobe (Flash) - supports Adaptive streaming and will be supporting HTTP streaming in FP 10.1
• Apple - supports HTTP and Adaptive streaming in Safari and on the iPhone.
• Move Networks - One of the first to support both HTTP and Adaptive streaming.

So in my attempt to better understand the world of streaming I ended up playing around with apples solution to live video streaming. Thanks to a few great articles at IONCANNON, I was able to create a little streaming application that would dynamically load video into Safari and onto the iPhone. Very cool stuff. I plan on working with what he created already and getting it to work with my other little side project.

So I've been looking into the new Adobe Social API for a little application I've been planning on working on. One of the things I hate is trying to update my avatar / icon on all of these different social media sites. So I'm planning on making a simple Adobe Air application that I can add an image to, resize and then upload to all the social media sites I use. The only problem is from what I understand is that the Social API will only work from a valid domain that you setup and will not work from localhost. So as a result this new API is incompatible with AIR. Oh well. Shouldn't be to hard to figure out all of the different API's for uploading to a bunch of different site. Right?
