17 Dic 07 Adding some fun to images
This post is about the lengths that certain sites will go to in order to get attention and traffic. However, in this case, it is also a fun (if not useful) tool. It’s called The Bubblenator. What does it do? Well, it adds text bubbles to your images. It doesn’t actually add the text bubble though; it simply gives you a script which allows you to embed the bubblified image in your blog/website.
Visit The Bubblenator to take a swing at this tool. (Remember what I said about sites doing all kinds of things to get attention). The way it works is that you pick an image from the Internet and run it through their online tool. Add some text (which you would like to see in that speech bubble) and then copy paste the code it generates into your webpage and you are done. It is that simple. Of course, be sure to respect any copyright or trademark in the pictures.
Of course, it does allow a little more than that. It allows you to change the shape of the bubble and also position the bubble wherever you like. In addition to that you can also add more than one bubble and change the size of the bubbles. I guess it can get a lot of fun once you get going. I can certainly think of many fun things to do with this.
17 Dic 07 Finding People on the Internet
Spock.com is a search engine for finding people. Not just people that you know, but also people that anyone has ever known in the history of mankind. You can do these searches by name or by other keywords. These keywords can be anything that describes the person you are looking for, for example ‘president’. Once you have found your result, you can go and look at the main page for that result. Take a look at the page for George Washington, for example, which is arrived at clicking on the first result when you search for George Washington. On the other hand you could search for your friends or people you knew in the past.
One very interesting feature is the ability to embed widgets containing a particular search on Spock on your website. So for example, related to our example here’s a widget for US Presidents:
Spock allows you to tag search results (resulting in the ability to search by keywords rather than by name). Not only can you add tags to your own identity. You can add tags on other people as well, and vote on tags that already exist. And also, although they claim not to be a social network, they do allow you to add trust links between people you know; this allows your search results to be ranked by trust (where you will see your trusted people before you see non-trusted ones for a particular search).
Signing up is fairly quick and easy and as shown below, Spock allows you to pull in contacts from other networks you may be part of:
Step 3 allows you tell Spock a little bit about yourself and you are done. I have added myself to Spock already, and am going to recommend my friends to add themselves as well.
