This is a classic wow moment. WordPress for iPhone 1.2 is the best. Landscape editing, edit posts, and support for comments. The iPhone just became more valuable and nice. Cheers!

WordPress Secret Revealed!

WordCamp Israel « Raanan Bar-Cohen: (Via Toni’s Garage.)

Something that you always knew, is now laid out very well. Very structured. What’s your formula?

Diigo: Survival of the Fittest

Darwin discovered natural selection, which went on to be made popular by Herbert Spencer as “the survival of the fittest.” Yesterday, I saw it being applied to Web 2.0. I have been a del.icio.us fan for some time now. del.icio.us is synonymous with social bookmarking, in fact, for all practical purposes, they invented it. In fact, I switched back from Firefox 3beta because there was no del.icio.us support.

Yet, del.icio.us never came out of Version 1 of this Web 2.0 phenomenon.

Along comes diigo. del.icio.us on steroids!

Changes the way you will use and share (and I really mean share) bookmarks. What they have done to social bookmarking is not rocket science, but they have done it. What they have done was never difficult, but being the one who does it first makes a lot of difference. I have happily switched from del.icio.us to diigo.com. And I am thrilled using it the last 18 hours.

Highly recommended!!!

I am an addict of all things Web 2.0. There is only one cure for it — subscribe to more and more things that seemingly make life simpler and interesting. Oh, how I love to be here!

MarsEdit It Is

After some rigourous workout (for the software and for me) for various blogging software, I have finally settled for MarsEdit. WLW, for some reason still seems to be my favourite offline blogging platform, but given the cost of installing a free software (Parallels and a Windows OS), I gave it a pass.

MarsEdit rocks, as far as Macs go. Period.

Now that you have the tools, what will you blog about?

Test Post from Ecto Alpha release

And this is a test post, from Ecto alpha, which, obviously I am testing. My search for an offline blogging editor – somehow ends with a wish that WLW was available for Mac. Investing in parallels desktop – seems to be the only option now. Ecto alpha is coming close…closer…

What’s with RSS Bandit?

My recentest mostest favourite RSS reader.

Here’s the deal:

• Can read secure (authenticated?) feeds. Very important for me from a work perspective.
• Does some nice thing called favicons – assigns WordPress or Flickr or Blogger (or custom) icons to feeds. Good way to organise content?
• Allows direct comment posting!!!
• Works. Like (you know what!)
• Gives alerts. Customisable alerts, i.e.
• Gives options for look and feel for items (not very important – but nice feature)
• Stable since their last version.

BESTEST PART?

• Allows direct post of items to del.icio.us
• Allows direct blogging to WordPress (and other blog services) through WLR (Windows Live Writer)
• Allows selective reading of comments to selective posts
• Allows me to assign font colours to various types of feeds. Yippee!
• Allows RSS feeds to Google Alerts equivalent. (No need to check mail now)
• Looks sexy!
• Doesn’t take an IQ of a million to set it all up!

Am feeling good! And How! Did I just achieve Web 2.0 Nirvana or what!

The Dharma Bums – On the Road

After a recommendation from one dharmabum that I know of, and a few other not so direct recommendations, I got myself a a copy of The Dharma Bums, by Jack Kerouac. While I was at it, I even got his other book – On the Road.

All  that remains, is reading them.

What’s Odd?

Nothing really. Except of course one, three, five, and every other number after that. No, I meant – what would classify as an odd post – that didn’t fit any of the genres of my other blogs? I don’t know. So, bear with me, while I find that out.
