Sorry everybody. I had lots of things that came up...For one, my mother died and I didn't feel like blogging anymore. Just dived in to working - and so I'm still busy.+This blog is so old now I'm thinking I should start a fresh new one elsewhere (?)Technology and webdesign has evolved so much these last years, I'd like to create a more 'updated' style blog.

An original E-card: the best so far.

It's got nothing to do with social software, it's a bit heavy but it deserves a highlight:Sprint SweetsIf you write 'Love' it adds a heart and if you write 'happy' it'll add a smiley :).If you look closely you'll notice that each letter are written by different poeple.Try typping the same letter several times, it won't be the same! (ex. there are two different kids to write dots.)Nice huh? Worth

Ma.gnolia web-page detail button and bookmarklet

2006-09-19T10:01:00.000+02:00

There's a new button and bookmarklet at Ma.gnolia: 'ROOT', it shows you the bookmark web-page details, a bit like the del.icio.us comment aggregator or Simpy's Link history. It may take some time to show up depending on connection speed but the process is done though several steps... and for once, it's not an Ajax indicator and like everything at Mag.nolia, it looks nice. Have a try:(The big

Feedshow's Dynamic OPML URL for widgets

2006-09-11T23:02:00.001+02:00

Feedshow, the online RSS feed reader, has one special feature I haven't noticed elsewhere, it uses an unique and constant OMPL file for each account, meaning the OPML URL you get when you export is dynamic! (You can't do this with Rojo, Bloglines, Newgater, MyFeedz nor NewsFarm I checked. ) Each time you subscribe/unsubscribe, it'll show on the OPML file. Though I'm not sure it automatically

As you can see it uses the Color Mind color picker.There's a function menu for getting the complementary, analogous, tetradic... colors.The shemes can be easy transferred and save as a del.icio.us

2006-09-04T20:26:00.000+02:00

Just discovered thanks to a comment, a bookmarklet that adds thumbshots.org thumbnails to any link on any page: Link Preview by Globefeed.com (basically a Google maps mash-up service.)

Hubpages, quick topic page maker

2006-08-27T17:53:00.000+02:00

I just discovered that Hubpages has one great feature that makes creating a list of links very quick.

TalkDigger Visual Semantic Social Network

2006-08-25T22:29:00.000+02:00

This week I've been playing around with the new, closed, Talk Digger Alpha. It's not like I had thought, it's not Talk Digger with more tools on top, it's a complete rebuilt web application with social networking, a network connecting users by interests and represented visually. It's also become a powerful monitoring tool I would advise as professional use.The Network:In short, on one side there

Talk Digger Beta, an other one!

2006-08-25T21:18:00.000+02:00

Socialmeter RSS feed generator

2006-08-23T00:17:00.000+02:00

Update on my previous post about Socialmeter. SocialMeter's developer, Brian Holt, is clearly following what's said about his creation:“It would be great if there was an RSS feed available. I may try to create one using Dapper...” TechCrunch had said.Well, it now has a RSS generator (and a bookmarklet)! That was so quick, did he use Dapper?Socialmeter for feeds gets the overall social bookmark

Go2Web2.0

2006-08-21T14:13:00.000+02:00

Is Go2Web2.0 new?Nice, you click on a logo a it shows you who's talking about it.There are so many I'm not sure if I've seen them before, many have domain names containg 'web2', like web2.reddit, web2list, web2.0slides. I knew there was one containing the word logo but I wasn't sure if it was singular or not, so I tried both: web2logo and web2logos, they both lead to web2.0 logos collections.If

Diffbot, Feeds and Web Page Notifier for everybody

2006-08-21T10:14:00.000+02:00

Just received Diffbot tryout. It is a different bot. The developer Mike calls it a web-based RSS reader and bookmark manager, but I would rather call it a RSS and web page update reader.Are there any other RSS readers that can do that? Detect web page updates? To my knowledge it would require using something like WatchThatpage, ChangeNotes, ChangeDetection then export it to RSS with dodgeit,
