Zooomr Portals

22Aug06

After my post about Snakes on a Plane, I’ve received a complaint (well, not really) that I’m more aggressive, so I guess I should talk about something nice now. Yesterday, Zooomr released something called Portals. This involves a graphic link to another photo, inside a photo. This is useful when you have zooms of an [...]


Intro
Ok well, I decided that I want to try flock. With all that hype about its amazing blogging tools, flickr integration and other goodies, I decided that I have to try it. After using it for about a day, I have some mixed reactions, so I thought I would share them with you. I hope [...]


If any of you read the Digg story, or just kind of came across this you know that Yahoo!, once again saying "Me too!" released an online website dedicated to technology. Since I was already registered on Yahoo! I figured I should try it out.

Today I went to fix up my Flash page which got destroyed when I switched themes, and I found something very interesting. Something that looks like this:

Today when I was signing into Rogers Yahoo! Mail I was greeted by a pleasant surprise. The Mail beta went very public, and it’s inviting everyone, me included. At first I was greeted by an annoying loading screen (see below) but it went away fast enough.
Shortly after the new interface loaded, and I was surprised [...]

This is just something I wrote for school
Since we were little kids we were always taught to share. Since the time when you shared a mud pie with a friend to the time when you share your joy and your tears with your friends, sharing was very important. Of course there are simple ways of [...]


Newsvine

27Jan06

A Digg killer is on the loose! Newsvine is a new service that will provide a space for people to write (like a blog) to put links up (like Digg) and get money from it (like AdSense) This seems like a real winning combination, and I can’t wait to see what happens to it. I [...]
