Go and have some fun and try Goosh.org
Yes you read it right, I hate embed codes! Why, you ask? Because 99% of them aren’t XHTML Compliant. Since my blog redesign Rosana Made sure it would be XHTML and CSS Compliant (yeah the buttons on the bottom of the page actually mean something now) click them and see what it says:
So now it’s my job to keep it that way, Rosana gave me some tips on doing that. So whats the problem? Well if I want to insert for ex. a CNETTV video my Blog ain’t compliant anymore and that sucks, same with Flickr if I say to Flickr, ‘post this image on my blog’ it will post something that isn’t compliant. Why can’t big companies just make sure that everything is web standards compliant? Is it so hard to make a webstandards compliant embed? or for that matter a webstandards compliant browser?
We all know how unstable Twitter has been the last few weeks, or has always been. So is it time for something new? Lets put it this way, there’s finally a real Twitter competitor, with the time line and the @ replies and the 140 character limit. It’s Called Plurk! Leo Laporte just sent out an invite to everybody following him on twitter.
So as a web 2.0 junkie I saw it as my task to sign up.
So whats it all about, it’s really allot like twitter, a bit more flashy with ajax stuff etc, It doesn’t look that simple. Just take a look at this picture:
It looks really pretty, but I can’t take a quick glance at it an know what my friends are doing. I like the list on twitter allot more.
Anyway I suggest you try it, and take a look for your self. If you want to add me I’m ‘Tales‘ on Plurk.
And click here if you want to get an invite.
Update: Seems alot of people are giving it a try, who knows maybe it really will be the twitter replacement
Update 2: Plurk seems to be dying already, If you try to upload a picture to your profile: ‘ Due to server move picture uploading is currently disabled.
It will be re-enabled during tomorrow - monday.’
Dutch Weather Sucks, it changes too much! I like it to be around 20 - 23 degrees Celsius, and I don’t like thunder!
