Wanted to listen to The Bucketheads “The Bomb” on Youtube, found a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2THjmRLyp8

BUT, heres a new one: the sound is disabled! Under the video it says:

NOTICE
This video contains an audio track that has not been authorized by WMG. The audio has been disabled. More about copyright..

I understand that Google needs to earn money and copyright is important, and am not sure how they can do this with so much usergenerated content (and seems as they dont really know either..) But if they continue like this people will just go to other sites like Vimeo ..

Paul Chaffey comments on Paul Gillin’s book “The New Influencers“. Shortly summed up these are the 5 laws:
1. Thou shalt link.
2. Thou shalt not diss.
3. Thou shalt be transparent.
4. Thou shalt comment.
5. Thou shalt not blather.

(Chaffey’s article is worth the read, but it’s in Norwegian)

Need a button for your website? A breadcrumb menu? Out of inspiration? Look at http://patterntap.com/ The site gathers sreenshots from several sites and makes it fast and easy to get inspired (or copy..;) Here is an example for “Audio”.

Found a great track today by Roll Deep “The Avenue” while listening to Last.fm. Found it on Youtube. The video has been uploaded by someone else than EMI, namely “aleduke”. Rather than asking him to remove it from Youtube, EMI says: “Embedding disabled by request”. Oh the joys of the musicindustry…

As I still live in the darkages of mobiles with my w810i, I envy all iPhone users with their great selection of apps from Apples AppStore. For example having Skype (except for T-mobile users who are banned from using it…) and Windows Live Messenger on your phone. So when I found Skype having a Java programme, I was well happy! It looks great (as opposed to most Java/Midp apps…), but happiness was short lived! I figured out I can ONLY chat to other Skype users with it from my mobile (or cell phone if you like). Pretty much useless then.

Previously I have mentioned EQO mobile, which works quite well for IP ringing. But IM+ for Skype seems much better! Not only can I phone Skype users and use SkypeOut, but I can also receice Skype calls. Fantastic! Would just love if they could upgrade the Java (Midp 2.0) layout, cause thats not really fancy…

7 days trial, or get the whole for 10 US bucks. Its a deal!

Så denne banneren på DN i dag som jeg ikke helt skjønte: “Spar penger, Fly Norwegian”, etterfulgt av “Alle fordelene med å ikke bruke flybelte”. Hæ!?

Så fortsetter bannere rullingen på høyre side, type:
“Dropp fly, bruk våre konferansetelefon løsninger” (Datametrix er en ledende leverandør av IP-baserte løsninger som muliggjør sikker kommunikasjon mellom mennesker via data, tale og video.)

Kanskje ikke helt slik Norwegian så for seg annonseringen..?

10 easy tips on how to get some privacy once on Facebook. Could come in handy if you are as paranoid as I am. No, wait! Cant be that bad. After all, I have a blog. Two blogs. Two websites. Twitter, eh… + + Ok. So much for privacy paranoia..

Like many other I wanted to have RSS feeds on my website, in this case my Twitter feed on my blog. Not having the normal Blogger template, I wasnt able to use the Blogger feed widget. So I had to look elsewhere. Finally I found an article listing up a bunch of different, easy to use RSS feedcreators that dont need programming skills. Robin Good wrote them. After reviewing most of them I concluded that FeedSweep and SpringWidgets where the easiest to use. Both are free btw. Though the SpringWidget has nice scrolling, it doesnt really integrate well visually (I find) with the rest of my site, so I ended up with FeedSweep. It has a great easy to use editor, with loads of options, such as border colors, font size, etc.

I only have sometimes some trouble saving the feedreaders. I guess you cant get it all..

Anyways, good luck!

They all look great: http://iconpot.com/ is my honey pot!
