  • Socialize in Feedburner is now gone


    Have you noticed it? Or it’s just me? I just noticed this today. The Socialize feature for Feedburner is now gone. I think they have removed it for good. I didn’t read any official announcement about it and I don’t know what’s the reason why it’s removed.

    Before, it’s right under Feed Count if I remember it right. Hmmmmmm? Where did Socialize go?

    Anyway, Socialize is still in the Feedburner Help page of Google.

    Update Dec 10, 2010: Oh so there’s really a problem with Socialize. Thanks to Reid for sharing this in the comments below.

    BPI Mobile App doesn’t work in BB OS Version 5.0, 6.0, and above


    Yes guys, BPI is undeniably the richest bank in the Philippines, but they can’t hire skilled mobile application developers to fix and update their mobile apps. If you’re using BPI mobile app in your Blackberry 4.6, Windows Mobile 6.1, or other old Symbian OS versions, don’t upgrade to a newer version because your BPI Mobile app will not work.

    IE9 beta is now available for test drive!


    The latest version of the world known Internet Browser that sucks after Firefox and Chrome dominated the world wide web has attempted to take back its place in the browser war. I recently downloaded IE9 beta 64-bit for Windows 7 and I can say that it has a potential to be loved by web enthusiasts, again.

    What’s new with Internet Explorer 9? You can read more about it here.

    IE9 beta is only available for Windows 7 and Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit editions. And I don’t think that they will release it in other older versions of Windows.

    It’s now faster, better, lighter and smarter! Try it now and brag to be one of the first to experience the beauty of the web!

    You can also read more about IE9 at Long Zheng’s blog.

  • Top 288,945 sites in the world visualized with favicons

    Top 288,945 sites in the world visualized with favicons

    Others are saying that the top 300,000 websites in the world are visualized with favicons. But why my title is 288,945? Because I want to be specific, and there are only 288,945 favicons in this poster.

    A large-scale scan of the top million web sites was performed in early 2010 by computer David Fifield and Brandon Enright who are bored one day and suddenly had an idea about collecting the favicons of top 1,000,000 websites around the world in a single poster. But these nerds failed to visualize all the top 1 million websites. Only 328,427 unique icons were collected, of which 288,945 were proper images.

  • DMOZ 2.0 is finally here! New Editor Dashboard is up!

    Wow! DMOZ 2.0 is finally launched and I can access my Editor Dashboard now. I’m still familiarizing the new layout because I’m used to play around with the old one. Nothing’s really new in DMOZ 2.0, only the user interface. The fonts are now all in Arial, and the dashboard is now neat and more Web 2.0ish.

    Everything is still the same, only the CSS was revised. There are new fields in the editor profile, like the ICQ and AIM fields. I didn’t notice this in the older version of DMOZ. Maybe it’s there, but I didn’t see it.

    I think more changes will be applied in the days to come. As of now, just like what I said, there are no new features.
