Review of Pokki the web application desktop app

Review of Pokki Desktop Application

I recently just returned from the Future Of Web Apps conference (FOWA) in Las Vegas and was introduced to a few new web applications that launched at the conference. I am currently drafting a post or two about the conference as it was pretty freaking spectacular.

Among the sponsors was a company launching their new product. That product is called Pokki. From the way I have heard it pronounced at the conferenced it sounds like “poke-ee” and applications for Pokki are referred to as “pokkies”.  Essentially it’s a simple installer that gives you access to Pokki’s application repository, or as they refer to it “the app store” even though I don’t think anything they have released costs money. I suppose that could change in the future but the initial offerings of applications are just a simple click away.

DuroCast Launches

DuroCast was launched this week. I’ve had the lucky fortune of using it since the Private Beta since early this year and have been really enjoying it. DuroCast finally launched and it appears is now open to all. The idea of the website is being able to listen to any radio station that is broadcasting over the airwaves or online though their platform. It’s a really slick idea because on your Dashboard you can create presets just like you would on a car stereo.

Once you have logged in you can search for a radio station by the call-sign, city, state or whatever you can conjure up to use as a search term. Once you find the station just add it as a preset. This is pretty cool because you can setup preset for stations that are in different states and have them all conveniently on one dashboard.  There are about 5 stations I listen to on a regular basis and in the past had to login to each respective website, manage tabs and what not. DuroCast makes it so simple now to keep up with my favorite stations without the hassle.
