I’m a huge fan of FriendFeed. Recently, FriendFeed introduced Rooms, allowing people to discuss very specific topics of interest. I thought it was worth listing 3 of these rooms that might have a little action come Monday during Apple’s WWDC where we might see the release of the iPhone 2 (or iPhone 3G if you prefer).
If you aren’t already a FriendFeed member, why not join? It takes seconds to setup, and is a great way to pull your social madness into one place.
Grunge style is rough, rugged, torn, worn, and tattered. To most, these adjectives would describe something less than appealing, but in the hands of a talented web designer, elements possessing these qualities can be used to turn a web site into a work of art. So, if you are just getting started in grunge design or if you are already a pro, you should find the grunge freebies in this article to be very useful.
Summers are on and it’s time to take that trip you’ve had been planning since last year. There is no doubt that the internet has a lot to offer for those who are planning to travel or go on a long vacation. Starting from finding a taxi which takes you to the airport, booking flights, hotel reservations and planning the visit to different tourist attractions, you can do it all over the internet.
Since there are different needs for everyone planning to go on a vacation, there are huge number of websites on the internet offering different solutions to those needs. Today I decided to pick seven such general websites which can be of immense help to a traveler, irrespective of his travel destination.
Adobe AIR applications are nice looking and not so memory-hungry applications. If you don’t already have Adobe AIR installed you can download it for free from Adobe’s website.
We’ve already previously taken a look at some Adobe AIR applications worth installing but more and more websites are constantly jumping on the AIR bandwagon. So here are some more new AIR apps worth a look.
I’m a huge vector image fan, and use them for many of my websites. There has always been one company that seems to dominate when it comes to amazing vector images, and I use their art almost daily - Go Media’s Arsenal. They just released a new 7-pack set today, and it blew me away, so I figured I’d share it. You can buy the packs separately, or combined - which just happens to be on sale.
College is a great place to learn and have fun. But let’s not kid ourselves, some degrees are as useless as the plot in a Michael Bay film. Here’s a list of 10 degrees that may be interesting, but do jack shit for you in the real world.
If you’ve ever had your penis cut off and/or been executed while on holiday, you’ll probably know that it’s easy to offend people from other cultures. Unless you learn the ways of the place you’re visiting, even the most well-meaning tourist can regularly find his oesophagus stuffed with burning goat. But surely just plain common sense and good manners will save you, right?
YouTube has come to define the new era of online video, so let’s take a look at their most popular videos of all time.
I was expecting something like lonelygirl15 or the original menthos coke video to be number 1. But no, the most popular video of all time on YouTube, so far, has been Evolution of Dance by comedian Judson Laipply. It was added to YouTube on April 06, 2006 and has since gone on to attract 55.8 Million views. It’s had 60,476 comments, the first of which was: “That was freaking AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!!”. The comments for this video are still going strong today - the latest 10 comments have all come in the last 30 minutes, as of writing. Plus it’s been favorited 252,082 times (making it the number 1 Top Favorited video of All Time).
According to a SMH article at the end of 2006, Laipply is a comedian and motivational speaker from Cleveland, Ohio. The video shows him dancing a six-minute routine encompassing 32 songs spanning more than 50 years of music and dance. In many ways this is your typical YouTube video - a funny, goofy, short and clever video, in this case uploaded by and starring a professional comedian. But there are tens of thousands of similar videos on YouTube, uploaded by enthusiastic amateurs (mostly teens).
Incidentally, on Laipply’s website there is an accompanying cat video - proving once and for all that this success story was by and for the Web.
The next 3 most viewed YouTube videos are all music. Two of them professional, one amatuer.
