Google Maps API
This is awesome…can’t wait to see the innovation spurred by the availability of an official API. The mind boggles…
UPDATE: It’s official, I no longer have enough hours in the day to play with all the cool shit being launched these days…Waxy points out that Yahoo! Maps also has an API.
Jennifer’s going to kill me
I just registered another domain name, 1000000monkeys.com (?)…no, I don’t really know why. Great name for a blog though…maybe I’ll move this blog over there [note to self: gotta get around to upgrading WP first].
Hammered
For the past 24 hours I have been hammered by comment spammers (we’re talking hundreds). None of these comments are seeing the light of day thanks to the spam karma plugin for Wordpress, but it doesn’t stop the bastards and their automated spaminator software.
The biggest hassle is that I may being losing some legitimate comments [...]
Waxy’s Wikipedia History Animation winner
This is perhaps the greatest example I’ve seen of the Lazy Web in action.
Waxy creates a competition around a great idea (animating wikipedia history revisions so you can see graphically how things have changed over time), and tips in a few bucks for the winner. Others join in to sweeten the pot and the quality [...]
PUNK OR NOT?
.flickr-photo { border: solid 1px #000000; }.flickr-frame { float: right; text-align: center; margin-left: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }
Trashfest: Mihoen!, originally uploaded by wot nxt.
Came across this pic on Flickr, and was first attracted to it because it just screams of that classic punk rock aggression…that is until you look closely and [...]
What I learned from the Contagious Media Contest
Delivr managed to stick it out in the Contagious Media Top 10 for the first week, the highest it got was number 6, but it didn’t last and we ended up down in 18th (I was still pleased)…so what did I learn?
Look at the traffic stats for the winning entries and you’ll notice that the [...]
Understanding Reblg.org
OK, so I have been a little baffled about reblg myself, so this post from Marc Canter helps clarify things. My favorite line…
Aggregating micro-content is gonna be HUGE! IMHO.
Couldn’t agree more…been thinking a lot about this recently myself.
Richard McManus, you don’t need to go to Silicon Valley. We need to build our own little Silicon [...]
A little bit of inspiration for a Friday
A bunch of people have already linked to Steve Job’s recent commencement address at Stanford…I just got around to reading it and it is really quite good. You should read it.
Contagious Media Showdown Awards Night
Update: Whoops I got the date wrong…still, I am not going to be there for reasons related to living in middle earth.
The Contagious Media Showdown Awards night will be in full swing at this very moment, and I am here in the office :(
Would be cool to be there…and Ze Frank is hosting.
It’s great when it just works
I find myself semi obsessed with customer service stories (good and bad), I think because the way a business handles complaints or issues, and indeed the way they interact with Customers generally, says a lot about the companies culture, but also it’s often a reflection of its health as a business aswell…I am reminded of [...]
