When it drops is a great new service—startup?—which was launched this week.
After almost a year of on-again-off-again development, I’m really excited to announce When It Drops! Now you can easily find what new movies, music, DVDs, games, and books are coming out each week. Ryan Sims came up with the original concept and did a smashing job on the design. Special thanks to Noah Stokes who has not only been doing a great job as our one and only user, but also for getting the ball rolling on this. Finally, you can also follow us on Tumblr if that’s more your thing!
I think they ought to open-source their code and share it internationally rather quickly, in order to meet a tremendous success.
The website is really well-designed. Check it out now.
It seems that when it comes to monetization, everybody forgot how Google did it. They own the web search market and propose various solutions such as AdWords or AdSense. And every single robot or human being uses Google.
What are promoted tweets?
Who clicks on promoted tweets? Nobody. Because when it comes to search for something you want to buy, you go on Google. That is because you trust Google and not Twitter, yet. (Also because there are not as many people on Twitter as you think.)
Now, continuing with promoted tweets is not a good idea. Because what they need is many users clicking on the ads, and nobody will, since nobody likes to click on ads. And if you are a greedy geek, you know you do not like the feeling of giving money to someone, just by clicking on a link—in your inner self, of course, otherwise, you are filled with joy and happiness.
This might seem like a rant, it is not.
Read about the projects, see who won more than the others.
Usually, I don’t like to talk about technology security, mainly because I don’t understand much. But, one more time, I stumbled upon a fascinating piece by the Economist technology blog; Babbage.
It is all about this new worm that attacks industrial-control systems, nuclear reactors, Iran, Siemens and security.
Since Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter ever, I had to link to this video.
From the always-awesome guys, over there, at Lifehacker‘s.
Nokia will launch its new smartphone OS quite soon and if the UI they’re going to use remains mysterious, a team member posted on the official website some schematic pictures.
It makes me think of something… What? Maybe something between HTC Sense UI and iOS.
The true rupture is WP7. Not this.
The one reason I wasn’t using Chrome was because of its design. It felt cheap and unnatural in front of Safari.
Google designers have made a pretty good job by adding this… chrome effect to the navigation bar and I like it.
This new version comes along Chrome’s second birthday.
A very interesting piece from RWW about the rise of anti-Facebook networks. Do not understand “against” in “anti-”.
A pretty neat new feature was announced by the Gmail team at Google.
Priority Inbox sorts your mail in a smarter way: it puts the important mail first, then your starred mail and then everything else.
With a social direction. Like before, they’d like to revolutionize the way people help others.
Checking-in on Foursquare can sometimes be… redundant.
Well, a clever developer took advantage of this check-in fatigue by developing an iPhone app that detects your favorite spots thanks to a “Favorite” menu within the app and checks you in while you’re near this place. Automatically.
