Free online backups in Web 2.0 style

While I’ve written a lot about making backups online already, it seems like a new ‘best’ website has come up. The company ‘IDrive‘ is now promoting their new and hip (web 2.0!) online backup system. The first thing you will notice when you visit their website is that it’s free, a ‘regular’ account comes with [...]

Web2.0-like font website launched, preview fonts in real-time with different texts

Of course it was just a matter of time till a website full of fonts would show up with ‘modern’ looks and effects. It seems like one of them is the big winner though, especially for a new and yet unknown website, in this case being UrbanFonts, it looks perfectly.
As I already wrote, UrbanFonts offers [...]

Combine Google Maps and Wikipedia, what will you get?

That’s perhaps the questions the creators of the website ‘Wikimapia‘ asked themselves. Basically Wikimapia letls you devide the world into virtual ‘blocks’ of area’s. Each area can be given a name, description or Wikipedia link, making it easy to find out what that one weird building is, or this small village is called.

Right now it [...]

After MyBlogLog now also ‘Box’ widgets

After MyBlogLog has managed to create a big buzz about their ‘widgets’ that can be used on every webpage or weblog, other companies seem to follow, or at least start advertising. Box.net Widget is one of these websites that let you create your own widgets, within limits of course.

RockStartup – Reality TV of a web business

I’ve never quite been much of a television guru, or addict – pick one, but with websites such as YouTube and Google Video growing big there are nice things coming up every now and then.

Google Maps, Real Estate & Schools mash-up

I came across a website today (thanks StumbleUpon) on one of the few moments that I tried out the PayPerPost tool bar and noticed there was an opportunity available for this particular webpage.

Social video sites seem to pop out to the virtual ground like mushrooms faster and faster. Even though only few become popular or even make it unto the news, there are still some that do. AapkaVideo is one of the few who do become somewhat used or even popular as you might say.

Web2.0 Madness

The ‘Web 2.0′ hype keeps growing, you can still find ‘Create your own web 2.0 website/logo/style/mistakes’ posts being posted on Digg or Del.icio.us, but what is it? What makes a webpage ‘Web 2.0′ and not ‘Web 1.0′ – are there even guidelines or rules for it?

WTF Digg?

I’m pretty sure most of you have already noticed the link to right Technorati to the side here, it’s a link to my websites backlog on their website.

Del.icio.us Favorites

In the past I’ve read quite a lot about Del.icio.us, but never really bothered to use it as I didn’t feel like I was missing it in any way. Of course I’ve seen the attention and their buttons all over the web with the annoying ‘Del.icio.us this!’ tags on them. Usually they’re attached to totally [...]
