One Web video

Thursday, February 12, 2009 5:56:40 PM

One Web — first coined by the W3C, the one Web principle is what it implies: There should be one single Web that can be accessed by any device, not different content for different devices. Check out the "Open Standards, One Web, and Opera" article from 2007 - still a good read.

Anyway, our brand new video to complement the One Web vision is now available for your viewing pleasure. If you experience slowness, then pause it for a sec to let it finish loading or have a look on YouTube.

Enjoy.

Very nice video

But I think the environment was very "into-the-future" likeish, and very deserted. I was missing some normal-peoples-in-the-street environment combined with the future likeish thingy:o THAT would be EPIC!

But anyways. Thumbs up for the video

Edit2: And I just noticed a bug while editing the comment. At the "pre"-comment preview. The byline has a bug. The username shows up like /TriMN/info/

Hi you all.

I just wanted to say, that I love the W3C, it makes it easyer to programm Web-pages - wouldn't there be MS with theyr damed IE that isn't really compatible.

Ok for One Web but... How do I watch this video from Opera Mini on mobile phone (Blackberry in my case)?

WillYum # Thursday, February 12, 2009 7:09:20 PM

Yum here. Nice images, cool graphics, love the music.

Speaking as a lowly American, though, not so hot. It was contrived and unconvincing. I'd ask the creator of such a commercial, "Who's your audience?" because looking at that commercial... my guess on the audience "Opera's investment partners' corporate executives" -- It says to me, "look at the cool ad we came up with to showcase our vision."

But it doesn't sell me on the vision. Tech geeks know that is too far away (at least, in America) and that Opera is only a medium part of this vision. Non-tech-geeks might see it and go "OMG! I want that now," and be sorely disappointed when they find out that vision is like 4 years (at best) away.

Still, I hope O goes further with this. Oh and do yourself a favor, hire real actors or at least a Director who can elicit genuine responses. The breakfast smiling seriously freaked me out... I was like, "this is acting or something seriously awesome is going on under the table".

Yum

When I click the link,it says you need to upgrade your flash player.
Conclusion,One Web dream is yet to be realized.

Charles SchlossChas4 # Thursday, February 12, 2009 10:08:38 PM

Opera never provides EMBED options....
Make it easy for your users to viral market your videos. I can't believe users actually need to ask for this. It's so BASIC.

KYrenKYren # Thursday, February 12, 2009 11:04:00 PM

I am using a mobile phone,Charles.

One web concept wouldn't come true untill all mobiles support features like Flash etc.

Absolutely right...

Copy/paste the embed code from YouTube.

Idan AdarYtseJam # Friday, February 13, 2009 12:05:55 PM

The quality of the youtube video is not as good as the one provided here.
Please provide embed options for the my.opera housed video as well...

Kamanas2 # Friday, February 13, 2009 2:47:27 PM

Good movie to show what the web has to offer. Web standards are great, but I think for several companies it's not in their best interest to follow the standards. Google might want to optimize the experience of google maps with a google phone, so people buy that stuff. Like apple and of course microsoft do already with many of their products, and will probably keep doing for a long time.

I think I've been in that bar when i visited Prague some time ago. Was a nice bar

I like the One Web idea.
However I still can't let some of my web page looks same in any browser and any operating system.

EddyxFiLtHx # Friday, February 13, 2009 4:32:56 PM

i have no idea

DavidSchalandra # Friday, February 13, 2009 4:38:42 PM

Nice to see that you still have great visions for things to come. I'm really looking forward to see those things come true.

Dan Alexandrudantesoft # Friday, February 13, 2009 7:16:42 PM

YtseJam, here you are. It auto plays. If you don't want it to, remove the &autostart=true from the code.
