Tagly Labels

Tagly, Numly's new Web 2.0 real-world tagging service, has just been given an export tags feature. This feature provides a CSV (comma seperated values) file that can be downloaded to allow you to generate your own property control labels.

We hope to have really cool Tagly labels available to purchase soon. At least there's an export feature until then. Notice the beta tag hanging from the logo :)

Numly Launches Raply Chat 2.0 Service!



Raply (http://raply.com), the new Web 2.0 social chat service from Numly (http://numly.com), allows web users to group chat online while surfing their favorite websites or while collaborating on a digital work such as a Docly Document. There is no registration required and no fees associated with this service. Simply browse: raply.com/anyurl where anyurl is the web address of the page that you would like to begin browsing such as raply.com/http://docly.com or raply.com/http://google.com

You can also start chatting by directing your browser to Raply.com and then enter the URL of the site that you wish to surf from the Raply home page.

Numly believes that Raply will complement its existing Docly (http://docly.com) self-publishing service by allowing authors and readers to chat about their digital works online by simply being on the same web page. You can expect to see more integration between Raply and Docly in the near future! Until then check it out and get to rapping at http://www.Raply.com

Track Your Copyright with Numly

We have all heard that the moment you write a document or compose a song or illustrate a picture that it's copyrighted. That's true but how do you prove that you were the first to create your work?

Poor Man Copyrights don't work. Copyright.gov wants to charge you $45 (or more) per filing which can take up to 3 months to process.

The only logical solution is to register your copyright works with Numly. Numly allows authors and artists to register their works online and immediately receive a Numly Number for tracking purposes. This number can be copied into your document and can be verified at any time via the Numly website. Amateur accounts support up to 3 free copyright registrations per month while Professional accounts support up to 100 copyright registrations per month. With Professional accounts costing $59.95 per year, that's less that 5 cents per copyright filing!

Be creative and secure your copyrights on a daily basis with Numly.

Numly Number Barcode Software

It's amazing what you can find on Google. Tonight I was doing a little Numly vanity surfing and noticed a barcode software application from NeoDynamic that claims to support Numly Number barcodes. I'm not sure what they would buy anyone since the Numly Number must be generated by Numly and our barcodes are free with every ESN number.

Check it out anyway:

We're flatter'd!

DRM *IS NOT* Digital Restriction Management

Numly, the Web 2.0 copyright service, assigns Numly Numbers to original digital content for authors and artists to establish copyrights. You probably knew this but did you know that Numly Numbers can be used as DRM?

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management although with all of the bad press around DRM these days most people probably believe that DRM is short for Digital Restriction Management.

In addition to assigning Numly Numbers to original digital works, Numly Numbers can be assigned for each copy of digital work sold, downloaded, or distributed. Each new Numly Number can reference the parent Numly Number assigned to the original work and it can retain new meta data such as the licensee's name and email address, copyright assigned to the licensee, which can be different than the parent copyright, and the timestamp of the Numly Number assignment.

This is DRM in its simplest form as it was originally intended with no restrictions. With Numly, copyright holders can assign and track rights to their works without jeopardizing the quality of their media or restricting consumers' rights.

Numly Certified IDs by Vouchor


Numly, the Web 2.0 copyright service, has just released a new service called Vouchor. Vouchor is a community-based online identity verification service. Once an Internet user becomes vouched, Numly uses the Vouchor API to certify its members identity. This is important when assigned copyright to an individual rather than a user id or login.

Numly allows authors and artists to register their digital works as copyrights. Numly serves as a source of non-repudiation verifying that certain works were submitted by certain user ids at certain times. To prove a copyright claim, Numly needs to know to whom the user id belongs. Vouchor.com is used to establish certified Numly IDs.

For more information on Vouchor go to http://vouchor.com

Vouchor Fees Waived for Numly Professionals

Vouchor, the new identity 2.0 service from Numly, launched over the Labor Day weekend. This service aims to verify the identities of Internet users through face-to-face witnessing of government issued photo identification documents. Numly uses Vouchor to certify the identity of its copyright submitters but other web sites and companies can use Vouchor to verify someone's identity online.

The price for a vouch is $19.95; however, Numly Professionals will get this fee waived. Check your Numly account for your voucher code and use it to "pay" online. Until there are more vouchors in other cities, you may need to notarize the vouchor application and mail it into Numly to get vouched.

Vouchor: Ruby on Rails!

Vouchor is Numly's first Web 2.0 application written entirely on Ruby on Rails (RoR).

Moving to Linux, Lighttpd, and MySQL were big steps for this Microsoft developer but I can honestly say that Vouchor was one of my favorite development projects. RoR takes a little getting used to (coming from ASP and .NET) but once you get the hang of it, the coding can be very quick and enjoyable. No more low-level SQL database routines and connection strings to worry about with RoR. Like magic, it just works! I was also able to take advantage of my Mac Powerbook as a development workstation and even deployed a Linux server at home for testing running on Mongrel.

Finding a new hosting company that supported RoR was also an interesting experience. Luckily I listen to Josh Owen and Chris Sailor's Web 2.0 Show and remembered hearing that they run a hosting business called Steel Pixel. After reviewing their site and service plans, I sent them an email with nearly 10 questions about their offering. They replied in less than an hour and answered all of my questions with much detail. I initially signed a one-month agreement with Steel Pixel to test the waters (so to speak) but after Josh came to my aid over 10 times patiently answering my silly nuby RoR deployment questions regarding SVN and Capistrano I confirmed my early decision. These guys rock! They are very knowledgeable on hosting RoR applications and their level of service is phenomenal. The other RoR hosting companies should aspire to be as good as Steel Pixel!

Okay - I guess you can tell that I am excited about Vouchor and Ruby on Rails and Steel Pixel. You can expect more innovative RoR applications and new services from Numly in the near future!
