Because short is better

Size does matter, the shorter the better.
Sure the spammers that hit your inbox disagree that :-D.

So where in the world this the-shorter-the better-idea exists?
The answer is in the world of Twitter, HelloTxt, Hictu, Jaiku, Plurk and those kind of service.
With the restriction of 140 characters per message, we need to be smart enough to fit the whole words we want to tell the words. That won't be a problem when there's no url address in it, but when there is, then we need a short url service.

Here is compilation of url shortening machines:
u.nu
xr.com (custom alias, edit-able, adsense integration, real-time tracking)
is.gd
tr.im (custom alias, password, real-time tracking)
nn.nf
to.ly
adf.ly (real-time tracking, pay-per-click, API, referral included in the link)
cli.gs (custom alias, password, real-time analytics, social media monitoring, geo-targeting, search engine friendly, tools, API)
2pl.us
bit.ly (custom alias , real-time tracking)
tini.us (custom alias)

There you are, a prove that short is better! :-D

My so called doll

I just tried to make my cartoon-like character with urFooz and I am not satisfied with the result. It's not urFooz fault though, it's because I don't have the patient to find and to try one by one the eyes, lips and etc in a meticulous way, I want to see the final result straight off.
Hairs and lips are the hardest parts, these that I adopted are what I think have some similarities to mine -the hair of course when my hair is long.

Look at her, I think in some ways, I can look like her when my hair is longer :-D.
Anyone who wants their own dolls shall get one or more for free at urFooz :-)

Google Friend Connect is Open

On 3rd December I got an email from Google Friend Connect that says "you have been whitelisted to use Google Friend Connect." To be honest I almost forgot what it is, I think I read its review from some review site for betas some time ago.

It's quite nice, Google Friend Connect provides member gadgets and social gadgets. There are two kind of member gadgets, one is merely for signing in and the other is physically looks like Mybloglog, BlogCatalog and Blogger Follower feature but with some plus. Google Friend Connect allows anyone with Google, Yahoo, AOL, and OpenID to join. Once joined, member can have their profile automatically displayed there, and clicking member's profile won't take visitor away from the site where that Google Friend Connect nests, instead it will show anything that the member put on the profile ie. 'about me', 'links', 'site I've joined'. From there member can interact with other member or even directly invite friends from member's social networks.

Social gadgets consist of some nice gadgets, and one that I also install here is Wall gadget which allows visitor to leave comment or link to video. There is also Review/ Rate gadget that allows visitors to rate books, movie, etc. Other gadgets are Open Social demonstration - I don't know what it is :-P, then Lame Game demonstration and Custom Gadget. I'm not sure about Custom Gadget, but it's similar with blogger html widget, no?

Anyhow, it seems just now as I'm writing this (I found out that) Google Friend Connect is out of beta already, means anyone can join without being first whitelisted.

So grab it, it's worth to try and it's easy to install it, and you are welcome to showcase your profile, links, etc on my GFC, let's get viral

Evernote: an ameniac's friend

I love Evernote. I've known it since 2 years ago I think. I wished at that time that Evernote would have its online version, and I was so excited to find out that it does have an online version and even mobile phone version, but it's still in Beta.

I'm quite lucky I got the invitation likely in a week after applying it on Evernote site, and it even spares me 10 invites to share.

Now it is even easier than it was already!
Apart from its desktop already handy features, this new version of Evernote allows users to access their collection of information anytime anywhere, so information is really close at hand.

If you haven't had it, get green in envy to see Evernote features on this video. Love it!
