Web, Webber, Weebly!

Have you ever wanted to create your own site? No, not with a b*tchy WYSIWYG-Netscape editor, what I mean is the real work, you know; nice template, gadgets etc. If you've answered my question with yes, I think I've found the right site for you: Weebly.

Weebly is a online ajax-based site editor / generator. It's free with ads, if you want to remove those, you should buy the Pro account. You can use Weebly as a perfect quick site generator for those who may have family or friends that want something a little more sophisticated than Google Pages (and others of that ilk) and a lot less retarded than MySpace and FaceBook.

Another couple of nice features Weebly offers:

* Video integration via YouTube and Google Video
* Flickr slideshow integration
* Google Maps
* Dozens of clean designs
* Support for custom HTML (ahem, WP.com - are you paying attention?)
* Contact form submission to email
* Ads for those that want them
* Feed reader
* RSS creation

I think Weebly isn't the most powerful CMS-like site creator, but it is the most easy one.

P.S. don't worry about a http://s2.weebly.com/sites/users/454534/index.html-like adress, for $ 25 you can buy your own .com domain.

Twitt!

Millions of people are informed about their activities by twitter. One message is about his sleep, the other about war victims. About tweeds, twitterati and twitter-addiction

It's easy to laugh at nonsense on Twitter, the microblogging rage. "My nose is leaking," writes someone called Zapples, "so imma go to sleep now.…" But I've heard lots of similar drivel (and even produced some myself) on the phone—an important technology if there ever was one.

The key question today isn't what's dumb on Twitter, but instead how a service with bite-size messages topping out at 140 characters can be smart, useful, maybe even necessary. Here's why I'm looking. In the last few months, the traffic on Twitter has exploded, growing far beyond its circles of bleeding-edge tech enthusiasts and hard-core social networkers.

Businesses such as H&R Block (HRB) and Zappos are now using Twitter to respond to customer queries. Market researchers look to it to scope out minute-by-minute trends. Media groups are focusing on Twitterers as first-to-the-scene reporters. (They were on top of the May 12 China earthquake within minutes.) Loads of new applications and services are growing around the Twitter platform, leading some to suggest that the microblogging service could become a powerhouse in social media.

About Generators

Always wanted to create your own Horror movie title, a digital baby, advertising slogan, oscar speech, a video with your own subtitles or A-Team episode? I think not, but if you do wanted this, I've found the site (actually it is a blog, but never mind): The Generator Blog. They've listed more than 1000 (not selfmade) generators.
You should try it!

Ship ahoy!

Maybe you've heared about it already, The Pirate Bay. But what makes this little swedish site, so nasty that even the CEO's of Apple and Sega are having nightmares of this site?

TPB was started in 2004 as a search engine for torrents. First something about torrents; BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data. That means in non-geek language: in a .torrent file are servers listed where the torrent program can find the original, what the program than actually copies to your own computer. So everyone can publish his Leopard update DVD, his I'm legend DVD or games as a torrent. Now you maybe can guess what TPB makes so nasty; if everyone uses a torrent, nobody will buy the Leopard disc ($129.00), a DVD ($50.00) or a game ($75.00).

Of course these companies tried to stop TPB with lots of legal threats against TPB (They have listed them on this page, you should take a look if need to laugh [xD]). But because of two things all threats are fauled. First of all: 75% of al firms that have started a legal threat, have their copyright proctection shit in the USA, and the USA is not Sweden. They have a total different copyrights system there. So the big companies are having nothing to their U.S. copyrights. Second point: they can not prove that TPB is hosting this torrents, they're only the search engine. And a search engine can't say what people should publish. Are you getting it?

Why not just the whole world use this site? I don't know. I just say to Apple, Sega and the others: f*ck up with your expensive software. I just say: skepp ohoj! (that's swedish)
