Songza.com is a side-project that I worked on with friend and Humanized co-worker, Aza Raskin. Songza lets you search for a song that's stuck in your head, play it, and even share with your friends.
Steve Rubel over at Micro Persuasion wrote a great article about all of the many strung together tools you can use to Turn Gmail Into Your Personal Nerve Center. A great read.
(Via Webware) Staff writer, Rafe Needleman, looks at the state of mobile portals, including Google, Yahoo, Netvibes and Tappity.
I’m surprised that more Web sites aren’t mobile friendly. By now, all content management systems and blogging platforms should be creating lightweight versions of their hosted sites automatically for users that come in via a mobile phones or WAP browsers. And even major sites that do have mobile versions (like most of the travel sites out there, bless them) don’t automatically redirect users there when they should.
For those that weren’t involved in the private beta, you can now sign up for a free account. Tappity is a user driven site where you submit, rate, and discover mobile-friendly web pages for viewing on phones and PDAs. In addition, you can save favorite items to a mobile homepage that’s personalized just for you.
UPDATE: Call off the digital hounds, it was a bug and not a feature change. For some reason, Digg didn’t digg my own story when I submitted it. Then, for a period of 10 minutes, I showed up under the list of people who had dugg that story, but my count icon wouldn’t reflect it, nor could I fix the situation by clicking the Digg button. The system has sorted out the situation. Sorry for the alarmist, incorrect post. Please do not Digg.
Of course it’s well known news by now that Digg has removed their Top Users page, but did they make other undocumented changes to the site as well? Specifically, what happened to the ‘My #1′ feature, where users could highlight their favorite story for a spell? It looks as though previously selected #1 still exists, but, moving forward, it cannot be assigned to newly posted stories.
Nearly 24 years ago, Coleco launched their second gaming console, the ColecoVision. It boasted such features as a joystick, fire, and jump button. Not to mention, arcade-like games with multiple screens! Enjoy a 30 second ride back down gaming memory lane…
