Overview for the Week
February 20th, 2008
While, this was a slow week, there have been some awesome things. I AM really sorry for not getting them to you right away, so here it is…
- The Google Android was shown at the mobile conference. It wasn’t really much, since it was actually the emulator displayed on a Texas Mobile Instruments mobile phone. The actual OS is delayed. The Sony phone for the Android will be out in 2009.
- Firefox 3 Beta was introduced to the world, and I love it. It doesn’t seem buggy, and the address bar is an actual search engine for any website you’ve gone to. Type in a word that you found on a page, and it will search all pages with that word. It’s awesome!
- Pmog is a private beta site that allows you to play one game all across the net. A browser add-on docked at the bottom of your browser allows you to play missions and drop things such as mines. Then, when other Pmog users go onto the particular site, they get hurt by your mine. Creative, right?
Well, that’s basically it. I’ll try to keep you updated all of the time.
YES WE CAN-Celebrities are Finally Coming out with their Views on Politics
February 5th, 2008
I don’t know about you, but I feel like celebrities have faded away during the course of this election. I’m not saying this is a bad thing or a good one. I’m just saying that I’ve noticed this. They haven’t endorsed anyone nor said anything. Well now they’ve voiced something. Here is the Yes WE CAN video clip. Send this to your friends.
Audio Ads? No Way! (Yes Way)
February 3rd, 2008
Five second audio ads are making their way to websites near, or accessible, by you. Pay-Per-Play NetAudioAds just opened yesterday, and it allows webmasters to earn commission every time a person check out their blog. Why am I telling you this? Because this is what I am doing. The audio will probably not start until 30 to 60 days after this post, but once it starts, and you don’t like it, just go back to this post and complain. I’m open to taking this off if my users really don’t like it, but at least give it a try. Remember that I need the money to continue the blog. Oh, and if you want to try this out, don’t hesitate, you could still be a core user, Sign up here.
NOTE: You do not even have to have a website to earn the money. This program has a referral system too. Just sign up and contact you friends.
Sprout Builder-Get in Now!
February 2nd, 2008
Sprout is a creative builder which allows you to build widgets (or sprouts) easily. It uses flash to build and then easily allows you to embed or post this on anything including facebook. It allows you to add music, videos, dates, images, and more to a sprout. Here is a sample of what you can do:
Right now, Sprout is in private beta, but you might be able to get an account with this. Just go to the building area, create something, save it, and it will ask you to create an account before you work is saved. There you have it!
