Most of you out there have Firefox 3 and noticed some of your addons are not compatible? WTF?!?! Ah, but don’t panic. There’s a chance they are updated but just not on the Mozilla Addons site. You may have to go to the homepage of the developer of said addon. All you do is right-click and “Visit Home Page”. Usually, they may have information about any FF3 updates or betas if not posted on the addon page.
I have a question I’m sure anyone can answer. You know when you upload a music video you’ll get a notice from YouTube about copyright and all that jazz and they will basically do this to your video (circled in red). So, the question at hand is why does music videos get a copyright notice yet people who post mp3’s in a video with a single image don’t get one? You can’t go after one without going after the other, now. I mean, am I wrong for thinking this?
I’m sitting here just wondering “What might make a social network site better or how to improve one?” and a few things have struck me. I’m doing this on the fly so, bare with me.
*Intergrade Twitter: Now, when I say “Twitter”, I don’t mean just Twitter. That includes FriendFeed, Jakiu, Pownce, and whatever other like sites there are. Since these are getting more and more popular, it would make sense to add them internally than adding a widget. *No Apps!: I hate all apps. Facebook started that shit and it’s nothing but spam enhancers. Now MySpace started making apps (a complete ripoff from Facebook) and… well, it’s just stupid. *Don’t Go Pro: I’m sure some people would pay for a pro account that will add extra features but, why not just push them out out of love of your community? *Spam Control: Easier said than done in most cases. There has to be more than doing CATCHPA’s or making the CATCHPA more stronger. Tho, CATCHPAs that are in the login page are also good. *No Privacy: Why do you bother to join a social community if you’re going to make yourself private? If you have something to hide, you might want to not be on the internet at all. That’s more of an “iPetPeeve” of mines.
I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting but thi sis the list for now.
I assume everyone knows about Flickr and how it works so, I’ll skip to the meaty chunk, ok?
So, I signed up for another online photo community site called Zooomr (yes, three O’s). Now, i never heard of this site until i noticed Thomas Hawk had uploaded some photos. As usual, I joined it just to see what’s doing.
If you’re used to Flickr, then you’ll quickly adapt to Zooomr.
It’s the same method: upload photos and share them. The do have PRO accounts but compared to Flickr, I like it. Why?
Check-out some of these great Pro-Only features:
* Zipline Complete: Is page 1 just not enough? Zipline Complete gives you the ability to view all of your friend’s Zipline messages.
* Social Stream: Find tons of up-to-date social information from your Photos and Social Circle, all at-a-glance!
* Discover Pro: Want better exposure for your photos, Discover Pro shows the world photos from our Pro Users
* Better Support: While we help everyone as best we can, being a Pro will escalate your issues to the top of our lists.
* Ad-Free Layout: View Zooomr without the advertisements!
Most of the stuff listed here I don’t really mind but, you’re telling me I don’t have to pay for “Unlimited Photo Storage” and “Unlimited Sets/Collections”?
Already, I may switch to Zooomr for my photos.
OH! and Zoomer actually detects my Sony Handycam whereas Flickr only detects my Cybershot.
So, SP3 for Windows XP came out last week. I must say, the pc I’m on does seem to be a little faster. Keyword: little. Oh! Well, there is this one tiny fuck up that I noticed.
Look at the image below:
If you can’t see, on Yahoo Messenger, I use Arial Black, regular, size 10. For some damn reason, it displays it in italic or bold-italic. I thought I was the only one with this problem untill i Googled “arial black in sp3” and saw the first item. I’m not the only one! I demand some answers, damn it!
Ok, I posted some videos within the hour and i would say this is weird and impossible. The video called “Raining” already hit almost 300 views (287 to be exact). Maybe I’m missing something but… what made it get that many views?
