Google is launching
Google Apps Labs today, a new platform for experimental apps (
Google Moderator is one of the first to be added). These are third party applications that can be added by businesses and schools using
Google Apps. In addition to Google Moderator, two other apps are available now: Google Code Reviews (peer review of software code) and Google Short Links (change URLs to something shorter and more descriptive). What's most interesting about the announcement is that Google will be opening up the platform to third party developers who want their apps to be available to the "million-plus businesses" using Google Apps today. Salesforce's AppStore developers will certainly take notice.

Issuu just
announced it has raised $5 million in a Series B investment from
Sunstone Capital, which had already provided Series A funding to the amount of $1.25 million in early 2007. The Copenhagen, Denmark-based startup has also added a slew of new features to its existing product and launched a premium version for professional publishers. When we first came across Issuu, which turns uploaded documents into interactive online publications for free, we said it was one of the first service of its kind that
didn't suck. In addition to the funding announcement, the company is also releasing a major product update.

In what must be one of the signs of the apocalypse,
MTV had posted hundreds - dare I say thousands - of music videos for your perusal. It's all there - go ahead and dig through. I found
Scarlett Johansson cavorting to the the sad-eyed crooning of Bob Dylan along with a video that essentially
blew my mind in 1988. Was the saint real? What was happening in the beginning? Do girls look like that?

If you have kids and Nickelodeon (or Nickelodeon.com) just doesn't cut it for you all the time, tune into
Totlol. It's children's Web video for the children of the YouTube generation. In fact, Totlol was built by one developer in Vancouver, B.C. (Ron Ilan, father of two) entirely on the YouTube platform. It is a collection of thousands of child-appropriate video clips from YouTube, chosen by parents, and rated by toddlers. Totlol uses the YouTube API and reskins all the videos with its own player (much like we do with
Elevator Pitches). Viewers can rate and collect videos. Collections act like playlists. Plop your child in front of the computer, and it plays all the way through (not that I would ever do that, of course).
