Deep Linking for Podcasts — TimeJump

TimeJump is a JavaScript library which adds deep linking capabilities to your HTML5 audio/video podcasts.

timejump Deep Linking for Podcasts    TimeJumpTimeJump works just like YouTube time linking with #t=. Basically, with this library you can link separate sections in your video/audio podcasts, but it’d work for songs as well.

It’s already being used by a number of well-known podcasts, such as ShopTalk, BookBytes, The Changelog and others.

stratus jQuery powered SoundCloud Player    Stratus 2Stratus can be installed on WordPress, Tumblr and Blogger websites. It has a number of useful options together with a neat ‘random’ option (never seen that one in such plugins).

Stratus is used in a handful of websites already, and this speaks for itself.

Online Photobooth For Your Users — Photobooth.js

Photobooth.js is a standalone plugin that allows taking pictures with the users’ webcams.

photobooth Online Photobooth For Your Users    Photobooth.jsThe plugin can be used standalone or with jQuery, the latter way being easier for the code, the first way allowing you to bar jQuery from your app.

You can specify the width/height of the “photo booth” and Photobooth even has a property for checking if the browser supports fetching media from the web cam.

Browser support is scarce though: IE and Safari aren’t invited to the party.

Awesome Audio Visualization HTML5 Experiment — Joy Divisor

Tampon is an easy-to-use tweet scheduler app good for corporate and mogul twitter accounts.

While tweet scheduling takes away from the spontaneous nature of Twitter, some people just can’t afford to waste their time on it.

At any rate, Tampon runs on Backbone.js and MongoDB.

Tweets can be re-ordered with drag&drop functionality, or posted instantly.

Turn Off The Lights And Enjoy Your Videos — Allofthelights.js

Allofthelights.js is a jQuery plugin for darkening the screen outside a video.

The plugin works responsively and on most modern browsers (IE7+). It also has controls like adjusting the background color and opacity.  FitVids is used for resizing the videos.

What I would like to see is an implementation of full-screen with this plugin, as the desktop doesn’t get darkened.

However, that would probably present quite a number of problems.
