I Have Too Many Web 2.0 Widgets

If you have just visited my site then crashed your browser then its not your fault. No thanks to me, I have around 43 (I lost count) Web 2.0 widgets enabled on this site and arranging them is no longer an easy task on Blogger's customize layout.

 

The good thing about it is, this site serves as a test page for bloggers to find out about new widgets and which widget works so -- so I get lots of inquiries where to get and how to install them.

So do you think I have too much widgets already? I do think so.

So I'm going to stop adding new ones? Not a chance! Hehe. I am a widget lover and I even developed widgets to like the TwitSnap widget for Twitter users. I have also co-mentored a Google Summer of Code project under Drupal that allows even more widgets which has concluded recently. If you're a Drupal user then you can get the embed widgets module here.

So if your browser crashed while visiting this site then it's my fault really X_X.

BTW, I have installed 3 new widgets from Wowzio, so check them out!

Wuala is the new P2P, long live the warez!

I was recently invited to try out Wuala by AJ, it poses as a file backup, sharing and social network service but upon further inspection its basically a P2P application. The great thing about it is that files are distributed on the cloud and users can 'sell' their idle hard disks space to other users.

You can find a step by step installation guide for Wuala at AJ's blog.

First thing I did after installing and sign-up is find warez; and without fail... I found ThePirateBay!

Wuala, thank you. Long live the warez!

If you need invites, please leave a comment.

Musicovery: Rediscovery music

I've recently stumbled on the site Musicovery.com which is an online flash based music player.

Unlike other music streaming sites like Dizzler. Musicovery allows the user to set the Year range, popularity, genre, mood and beat filters only; it then searches all the related music randomly and plays it. The nice thing about it is it shows the generated play list in visual mode and shows the relation from one to the other as lines similar to Yahoo pipes.

An added advantage for me is that it only eats up 10-20kbps of my bandwidth which is low enough so I can just freejack on open Wifi APs without being noticed! 

Note: As you can see in the attached screen shot, I'm rediscovering the 80's!
