GoogleWave Invite

I got the invite late October and have started to try it since the first of Novembre, but just for twittering, hehe.
I have sent some invites to friends, but it seems the invites don't work immediately because last time when I checked, my friends said they haven't received it. Wonder if it does work like that? I noticed that when I sent the second invite,GoogleWave gave funny notice that the invites will need time, because they have a lot of stamps to lick :-))

Invite others to Google Wave

Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.

Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.

Happy waving!

Didn't know that it would be this long time, and what is the difference then between to-get-invited-by-member and to-be-in-waiting-list-of-Google wave-invite?
Probably they need more tongues in Google Wave....Who wants to volunteer? :-D

So if the invite from me still has not arrived, just wait patiently.
Who else wants it?

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

Yay I got Fire Eagle Invite

Seriously, I think this beta invite web2.0 things have somehow spurred some razzle dazzle. People are in rush to try those alpha or beta version service when they're labeled with by invite only, and that can be seen from some jaiku or twitter messages.

I found out about Fire Eagle on Jaiku invitation channel, some people are looking for Fire Eagle invite there and it seems it's hard to get it. I went to Fire Eagle site to see what is it about. I'm not that informed person, so mind that :-P.
I requested an invite there though I know it usually takes a longer time to get from the main source, so I didn't really count on that. It was one Twitter message that is floating somewhere on this virtual world that guided me to another source, and the next day within less than 24 hours, my invite arrived.

The person who sent me the invite is Giuseppe from Plazes, another web2.0 locator service that I already joined. Plazes developed integration with Fire Eagle that's way Plazes have some Fire Eagle invites to share -I think. The system integration between Plazes and Fire Eagle is done only with one click.

To learn about what Fire Eagle is, go here and here (this has some invites links, don't know if any of them still works)
To integrate it with Twitter, go here.
If you are still confused, ask me not :-P
Happy hunting your invite!

Sharing intel with Qassia

What is Qassia?
Well, if you are just a small blogger like me and want to grow the blog or you are already big but still want to get bigger, Qassia can help by rewarding its users with backlinks, credit and revenue whenever users share intel, a short word of intelligence, which is nothing but tidbit of information aka those things that we usually write or show on blogs. Users can write anything that they like as far as the intel is in English and a non-porn article.

The quality of intel in Qassia is maintained by voting system, which means an intel can only be published or rejected after get screened by minimum of 10 users. The intel rating goes by 6 choices:
A - Outstanding
B - Good job
C - Decent enough
D - Below average
E - Awful
F - Fail [Reject]

Users also get credit or bonus by screening other's intel, a first user who rates an intel will get a bonus of $5 while the rate that goes with the majority and which turn our to be near to the final score will gives the rater $10, that all be valid when the intel get 10 users to screen it.

Qassia is also a good instrument to feed your adsense because Qassia allow users to run Google Adsense ads, and unlike many other websites who also allow sharing Google Adsense, Qassia leaves 100 percent of the adsense revenue to users.
If you like what you read about Qassia and want to join, please accept my invite on ioi.qassia.com by clicking the sign up because Qassia is currently in closed Beta and by invitation only. Thank you!!
